:wth: Juve aren't efficient in Europe? Just in the past 10 years Juve has played in CL-final 4 times, more than anyone else!! Yes, they've won the competition only once during that time, but so what, that fact doesn't mean that they have been bad. Juve have been extremely unlucky though, one can easily claim that Nedved's suspension for example cost them one victory. The games against Dortmund and Real Madrid should have been won too, but that's another case... Anyway, claiming that Juve isn't a major force in European competitions is just hilarious.
What is your point anyway? What, you honestly think that buying unproven players from lowly Serie A or Serie B teams would boost the fortunes of this club when it comes to winning Champions League? Get real.
At first I've got to say that I don't think that Lippi is schizophrenic.
Juventus has their unique identity, their società is incredibly strict and peculiar, and through the years one can easily see how some of the most brilliant individuals grew tightly into it, while the others were just hanging on to it because they knew that it would eventually reward them with glory. To give you a few examples for firstly mentioned, I'd like to mention Ferrara and Lippi, how came as terroni but showed their class and passion through the years and proved their worth as true Juventini. The latter group is naturally much larger, but many legends are formed in there too, Platini for example.
Anyway, the players and the coaches, most of them are just mercenaries gunning for their own glory. Can't blame them though, nowadays it's called professionalism. Squad full of Juventini would be ideal, but sadly impossible because Juve needs to win too.
But luckily the point remains the same. In the end it's not about the players or the coaches, it's not about winning or losing. It's about the colours.
Since I've been back, everybody has spelled my name incorrectly... :undecide: Thanks for the compliments anyway.

Good question. In recent times many of our primavera players have been hyped (Benjamin, Chiumento, Volpato, Maisello) before they even made their debut. It's very difficult for young players to find their place in a world class side. When's the last time that Milan had a youth player come through? Maldini?
