Of course not. We have left the best and the most in form Italian player (Cassano) out, never going after him which basically means that we just can't go after "quality" regardless of the players' nationalities probably due to financial limitations and the folks can't still stop moaning about this Italian mentality theory of theirs 
Del Neri: 'All the same problems'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gigi Del Neri tells Juventus the 3-3 with Lech Poznan “must make us look at ourselves. The problems are always the same.” - (no shit)
The Bianconeri registered their second consecutive 3-3 result after an identical setback against Sampdoria at the weekend.
“This result must make us look at ourselves,” said the Coach after they fought back from 2-0 down only to concede a 92nd-minute equaliser.
“We get back from difficult circumstances, then we lose when we are meant to control the game. We tried too hard to get the third goal and became tired, so we should’ve lowered the tempo.
“A late goal can happen, especially as Lech scored a world class effort.
“The problems are always the same: lack of concentration and confidence in what we’re doing on the pitch. Today I didn’t see the quality of our opponents, but rather our own mistakes.
“In the Europa League when you make a mistake, you pay a heavy price. It’s strange, as our goalkeepers have had to make very few saves in these matches.
“We have to work on the team ethic and learn to be more clinical. We struggle to keep the tempo for 90 minutes and must work on our concentration.”

How bad can we really get? As the man pointed out above...TWO DMs and wingers who track back. Shambolic defending against, lets be honest, very very average opponents. Against top class teams we will get a good old fashioned battering.
No excuses can justify our ability to concede goals. Even prior to Calciopoli, our defence was resoutly shonky, even with Capello.
What happened to Grygera? You cannot be that bad and play for Ajax?!
PDC must be a winger as no such prodigious Italian defender has such a distaste for defending.
Good job the King is still about, otherwise we would look rather stupid today...oh wait...

Of course you could tell there were signs of the start of a decline, but he's been stuck behind Puyol, Milito and Pique for a while now, and he's not had a lot of consistency at club level, I think that could be part of the reason. I think on a free he was a no brainer though, highlighted by the rinaudo move...
