Crap article by goal.com; yet again.

We "almost" sent away Chiellini and Giovinco... well guess what Mr. Gisone, they're wearing the bianconero shirt now. And so are De Ceglie and Marchisio. How many top clubs in Italy can currently challenge this?

Palladino and Nocerino were given a fair chance. They both showed some talent, but some is not enough for a club that wants to challenge for all possible titles. Noone is happy to see them leave, but that's called competition. The fans and club wish them a good career though.

This brings me on to Raffaele Palladino and the imminent deal sending him to Genoa on a co-ownership. It is absolutely ludicrous that a young, up and coming, versatile player is not being given a chance to shine with the Old Lady.

Renzo Castagnini is the new chief scout

As of today, July 1st 2008, Renzo Castagnini is the new man in charge of Juventus' talent scouts.

Born in Reggello (near Florence) on November 14th 1956, Castagnini played professional football between 1975 and 1990. After his long career as a footballer, he became a manager and since 1992 has been working as Director of Sport at many clubs, among them Barletta, Salernitana, Catania, Genoa, Vicenza and finally Piacenza, the last position he covered before reaching Turin.

At Juventus he will be working under Alessio Secco.

The new man in charge of the scouts expressed his satisfaction via a press release sent out by the Club: «I'm proud to be working for an internationally renowned Club like Juventus».

True, then again we shouldnt "burn" our prospect just because of that.

There's no point in holding on a player if there's no place for him in the squad. We have enough forwards and Palla would have been played on the wing next season too, possibly taking playing time over Giovinco.

I wish him all the best and maybe he'll be back in a couple of season but there's no place for him in our current team. It's harsh, but its professional football.

All rights to Lanzafame and Volpato have apparently been transferred to Palermo....

Gaywad www.juventus.com designers and information crew apparently can't afford a proper English translation, look at this :

"Juventus today officially announced that Davide Lanzafame will be joining Palermo. The young striker, who had an excellent season last year at Bari in Serie B, moves to Sicily for good, but with a participation agreement formula contract.

Meanwhile, Juventus have sold another player too. After his experience at Empoli, Rey Volpato joins Bari (Lanzafame's former team, managed by Antonio Conte). The Tuscany-born striker has been sold with the same formula as the other player."

I mean WTF is that, is that English for the mentally disabled or what ??? Are we even s'posed to try to decipher that piece of crap ???

Any1 has official news (goal.com, kiss my ass) abt this, would be helpful....

He is not that overrated, actually he is flamed so much he is underrated. He is bit limited in some ways obviously, but he is a super effective box to box midfielder with quite an impact. He is declining, but every season (for 5 years) as a CM he scores 20 goals and assists the most. In general he gets way less credd then he deserves.

Even when he was chosen second and third best in Fifa and Uefa awards 3 years ago, people were still quick to hate on him. Dont like him, but give him the due he deserves on the pitch.

he is a bit over-hyped and you must admit that. the english media and other media outlets including ESPN (which is what i used to primarily follow).

i will give him the credit that is due to him as i do to all players but i will never agree with over clocking a player who obviously isn't all that. including our own players.

:lol: Isn't Palladino something like 33 years old now?

He'll be 39 and we'll still be waiting for him to develop into this promising young talent.

I cannot wait until Lampard comes to Italy, makes a resounding whimper upon playing in Serie A, and all the EPL pundits reach for excuses to bail out the myth of English superiority.

As if Vieira wasn't enough...
