Don't count on that. If Ranieri wanted a new full back then he'd ask for one already. We have 2+2 flank defenders and unless one of them gets a serious injury then don't expect a new LB/RB.

We have to wait till tomorrow and see for how long will Chiellini be out. If it's a month or two then i doubt we'll buy anyone. If it's 5 or 6+ months then we'll certainly get someone depending on Ranieri's opinion of Mellberg, Legro and Knezevic.
If Ranieri thinks Mellberg-Legro are good enough to be our starting Cbs then we'll buy someone mediocre and cheap just so we'll have 4 Cbs. If not, then hopefully we'll get a better player (if we can find one in late August at all).
If it's 3 or 4 months then i'm not sure what are we going to do.
Hopefully its a week or two of rest. Let's think positive here.

    that is exactly what i said ... i base my opinion on what i saw when he played for us, not for lazio.
    Stendardo played well for us against good teams
    Unhealthy habit, especially when we all know Chiellini made his partners look better than what they happen to be. And the most difficult match Stendardo had to play was against Napoli, not Inter or Roma. The rest were against mediocre sides such as Siena, so you don't really have enough to form an opinion with what you have. Gotta use Lazio matches as well.

    But if you want to waste millions of Euros on a shitty player be my guest, just do it at another club.

    We finally get a wake up call in the worst way possible.
    You mean by losing to milan or by losing chiellini? The first shouldn't really matter, it was a useless trophy and milan wanted to fair well especially after such a lousy pre season. Our players weren't really focused on the game, plus we were playing 4 days ago. The second is surely frustrating but let's just wait and see what the xrays have to say.

    Losing Chiellini. I meant in regards to our defence, it's not strong without him and the other CBs we have won't cut it.

    add the 2 pk's they didn't give us and the disallowed goal who should of counted from what I read here.

    I only hope Ranieri won't do a Galliani and say "Sissoko can also play a CB if needed".
    nah, Momo's Trez's backup. :mute:




    Question: Do you guys know how to solve Molinaro's crossing problems?

    Answer: Play him at CB.

    :crazy: :D

    You know another way to solve his football problems? Take him out back and amputate his legs.

    Or just bench him. That would suffice.

    watch us bring back criscito
    he's gotta be better than knevevic or whatever the hell that guys name is....shit id bring him back anyways just for the sake of having the manpower for defense, never mind if he is a starter, just dont want to run into an inter or milan problem with no defenders and sure as hell dont want to do a galliani and put sissoko at CB...i cant spell, i know

    i think we should buy a starter/just stick with legro-mell-knez-zeb

    were we linked with lugano last season?'

    he is better than mellberg and has the potential to be our cb starter for the next 5-6 seasons

    i guess he is still eligible for CL rite? and he did well against drogba last season

    and he can easily fit as he speaks italian

    Lugano is a very good defender, to bad he has already played in CL Qualifying. I think we can get Lugano if we spend 15 million euros. Fenerbahce rate him at 15 million euros. I think that is a little high but the guy can easily be a starter next to Cheilleni and would make our defence a little stronger. Lets just hope Secco can get a brain and splash the cash on a world class defender.

    This is exactly why we should have bought a quality partner for Chiellini.

    But no, no sir. Now we're stuck without Chiellini and without another quality centerback to take some of the slack from the other freebies we signed.

    Something such as this was just itching to happen. I'm trying to think, but I don't recall a Juventus defense more mediocre than this one:

    Grygera - Mellberg - Legrottaglie - Molinaro


    Not in the last three decades have we had such a mediocre starting defense.
    Chellini is the only decent defender we have....none of the rest of these clowns would be starting for any other top team....were fucked if this is a long term injury



    we're fucked really if we dont buy anyone, thats if this board want to win something at least.
    they dont know what winning is all about....bunch of inept idiots

    Or bring back Stendardo
    that is a start....he is better than what we have in the back right now, but we still need another first class defender
