I am a BETTER dribbler than BOTH Cassano and Diego COMBINED!

Lets face it, were going no where with secco. Whats making the prem so successful, is because their good with youngsters and their money. In serie A we have idiots running the show. Juve lack a creative player, and we haven't had one for a decade. I know for a fact we wont be buying diego, its all just wishful thinking now. Who are we kidding.
But it could have been worse, we could be milan. If they dont want ronaldinho just to suit their over rated kaka, I wouldn't mind having him.

If we continue this way, serie A will never reach the prem standards

Well, if we fail to sign Diego I won't mind seeing us end up with Cassano at all.

and I'm still behind my words, that he'd be one of the best transfers in Europe but let's not talk about it here.

That's my stance on this as well. Diego or Cassano = Juve get better. Either one of them would instantly upgrade this team in a heartbeat. Hopefully we won't get disappointed

 

[Dostoevsky]

If we're talking about some good midfielder we won't.

We shall see our plans with defense.

Gio can be pretty creative from what I've watched (and that's plenty). But, what you are saying I think has more to do with economics than anything. Can Serie A compete with the Prem League financially? There's no hope there right now. But Serie A still isn't far behind.

Juve is going to make some big strides in the offseason, IMO. They've come a long way since serie B just a few years back.

 

[Dostoevsky]

So 68.49% are for this signing.

I must say I'm surprised.

a lot of people have changed their opinions

So am I.

Amazing what conceding 6 goals to Chievo and Genoa can do to make people forget the past.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Indeed.

 

[Snoop]

Bring him!

Great avatar Snoop.

i think what really made the difference over whether to buy or not is the chiellini-canna partnership...it will happen in WC2010 and i think chiellini will learn a lot next year. Age isn't the priority when it comes to purchasing defenders although we should also test out a young unknown as an understudy to canna that could break out the year after next...i dont know much about ariaudo but i don't see the greatness mentioned in the forums from the two or three games i've caught a glimpse of him in during this season.

 

[Bjerknes]

Well, that definitely makes this a real story now. Yesterday I kinda brushed this off pure speculation. But now it seems Juve are really going to try & bring Canna in. It would benefit both sides. Canna's more suited for Italian footie. He struggled a bit in Spain, but who can blame him, it's a totally different style. I would not be surprised at all if Lippi had a hand in this...

Who can blame him? I can blame him. He's been friggin' past it for the past three years and if he can't make it in Spain, then perhaps he can't be considered a world class defender. I'm sorry but he has had three years to learn the language, become suited in the league, and with each league having about the same quality, there should be no excuses.

No to this player on all bases.

 

[only-juve]

Hehe, hardly ever dribbles??? No idea what gave you that impression.

Cassano is a better, more imaginative and unstoppable dribbler then Diego. Diego is very good in dribbling, he is more of the shield the ball kinda dribbler, great technique, but pure dribbling, Cassano is for sure better IMO. One of the few players that can take on 4-5 players and actually succeed. You need to watch Samp games more, he is defenitely WAY better playmaker and ingenious creator now then he ever was before, but his dribbling didnt take a back seat to it at all. Here if you want to see footage of him in Samp:

Yeah agree with osman there cassano is indeed a better dribbler than Diego but i still think that Diego would be more usefull than Cassano with Juve ...

 

[Bjerknes]

If this deal goes through, we better not hear any criticism towards AC Milan policy of playing a bunch of old farts. It's hypocrisy at its best.

We have an inexperienced team, so we should buy experience.

Milan have an experienced team, so they need some young players.


There is no hypocrisy in mocking a team for buying players that it doesn't need, but we need an experienced CB.

Cool response to Canna
Monday 20 April, 2009

Juventus legends Beppe Furino and Jose Altafini have reacted rather coldly to rumours suggesting the Bianconeri will re-sign Fabio Cannavaro.

Cannavaro, who left Juventus for Real Madrid in the wake of the Calciopoli scandal in 2006, has reportedly been offered a four-year deal - one as a player and three as a director.

“I heard about Cannavaro and I didn't want to believe it,” Furino wrote in La Gazzetta dello Sport. “We won't discuss his achievements as a player, he is a world champion, but the years catch up with everyone.

“If Cannavaro is a sure thing at no cost whatsoever then bring him on, but there are other players that Juventus need to close the gap in Italy and in Europe.

“Have the fans forgotten the so-called “betrayal” of three years ago Footballers are professionals, Cannavaro's decision to go to Real Madrid was based on money,” Furino explained.

“Two games will be enough for the curva to forget all in a hurry. Then again it will be difficult not to remember what happened three years ago. The Juventus of today would have players that now bring luck to other teams.”

Altafini was equally critical of Juventus' decision to go back to the future and think about entrusting their defence to the 36-year-old Italy captain.

“Why don't they re-sign Zinedine Zidane as well?” Altafini said scathingly. “They need a central midfield!

“I don't see how Cannavaro alone can resolve Juventus' defensive problems. Age counts more in defence than in any other position and Juventus' backline is already slow.

“The politics of not spending will not pay off if we want to keep up with Inter,” Altafini explained. “It will take an aggressive and courageous transfer campaign to overtake the Nerazzurri.

“As for the defence, Giorgio Chiellini has had a great season, as has Nicola Legrottaglie, so Juventus don't have a problem at centre-back. (that's highly debatable)

“What would it take for Juventus to support them with a youngster, someone like Simon Kjaer, the Dane from Palermo?

“Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis, was a little tough on Cannavaro a few weeks ago, but he painted a reality - 36 years are a lot and if Napoli, his hometown club, aren't willing to take him, well…” Altafini concluded.

Cannavaro first joined Juventus from Inter in 2004 and made 74 appearances for the Bianconeri before leaving for Spain in 2006.

THANK YOU!

Now imagine that, Il capitano Beppe Furino talking some sense. Why doesn't he come back and save us from our own bullshit.

 

[Osman]

Yeah agree with osman there cassano is indeed a better dribbler than Diego but i still think that Diego would be more usefull than Cassano with Juve ...

So do I, just saying the obvious that Cassano is one of the top few best dribblers in the world.

 

[Osman]

We have an inexperienced team, so we should buy experience.

Milan have an experienced team, so they need some young players.


There is no hypocrisy in mocking a team for buying players that it doesn't need, but we need an experienced CB.

The average age of our squad and theirs is quite identical.

And experience cant do much when the actual player is 36 and is so good anymore, instead prone to errors.
