All respect to Capitano, but he was 38. Without going into unnecessary comparisons, I'd just like to point out the fact that they're two fundamentally different players. Berbatov is a CF, a full blood striker - whereas our Capitano was a winger/ss and in his later years only a secondary striker. I just don't see how the comparison is valid.
Can't quite get my head around this signing, but I'm sitting here smirking thinking about the possibilities of him at Juve. 
He's not a 'top player' as such, but he is a very good player.
Fantastic awareness and general football intelligence and not reliant on physical attributes, so his age is not a concern.
When I was at Old Traffod last season, Berbatov and Scholes were so much cleverer than the other players on the pitch it was hilarious.
During his time at Man Utd he became pretty good at just making himself a penalty box striker quite a lot of the time, and that got him a lot of goals.
He is a fairly lazy player, but this has been exaggerated by the English due to their obsession with running and suspicion of anyone who can succeed without killing themself from exhaustion.
As short-term, panicky signings go, this a good one. His transfer fee and wages aren't going to prohibit Juve making a big signing in the next year or two.
Fuck knows what's going to happen between him and Vucinic.
On and off the pitch I can see them either being awesome together or being a complete disaster.
One way or another, though, I want to see it.

This.
The most thrilling aspect of this whole Marotta-Paratici thing, to me, is their ability to find players that fit the system. They have understood one very important thing when it comes to football. It's not about how many stars you have, it's not about the "Galacticos"-approach. I mean, at all. It's all about finding the right coach, with the right system, and players that can slot nicely into that system of play.
I'm not saying they're perfect, no one is. But have a glance at the complete and total mess that is AC Milan right now. Galliani still only chasing "names", regardless of how they'll fit in. At least our guys are trying to build a solid TEAM.

but what im saying is can you honestly say berbatov would offer anymore to Juventus than Ale would? I'm fully aware they are 2 different types of forwards but thats not what im highlighting. If you want to compare like for like forwards can you honestly say berbatov is really a better fit than Matri? i have my doubts
