I'm starting to get really worried about his form. Perhaps time is simply catching up to him. He just doesn't have aura anymore and you can see it on his face that its killing him inside. There are some good keepers out there and we should start making plans for his imminent departure.

I think his reflexes, instinct and positioning are great as always.

The biggest problem is his agility... he simply looks way too slow.

I think we should go for a short term solution like Marchetti, while Leali gets prepared for it. It's a huge responsibility for him. Marchetti could do well for 2-3 yrs.

Please no Marchetti i still have nightmares about him from Africa. Any time i seen him play well it's only against Juve.

It's not knee jerking, he's been like this for like a year.Sure he still has fantastic performances, but he's been really inconsistent too. The mistakes he does are also very basic and when they occur they can destroy the entire match. Doing it against Chievo early on in the season may not be a big deal, but come in the CL and he does it against a big club in the Quarters then we are screwed. Juventus aren't a team like Real Madrid or Bayern were we expect to score a whole load of goals each game, we've always been a precise team instead. So letting in a single goal will be more costly for a team like us.

Quite frankly I'm no longer sure which Buffon will turn up, the good or the bad one, so I think he's becoming too much of a risk to have as out number 1 keeper.

"Not holding on to Pirlo should not even be an option," Buffon told Sky Sport Italia.

"If Pirlo were to leave, we might as well dismantle the stadium bit by bit and stop playing football altogether.

"I hope that we will never deprive ourselves of a great player like him."


:lol:
