It's a bit premature to call this historic season in Serie B already over with, but I think we have a lot to get started with as the season winds down.
What I propose? We all solicit nominations for the Juve player of the season. From the lot, we'll then create a poll and put it up to voting.
Some initial thoughts about some players thus far...
Buffon - Surprised that he stayed. Was always better than we could have hoped for in Serie B, and there were quite a few matches where he kept us hanging on to all of the points almost singlehandedly. But there were a number of games where he was a non-factor too.
Birindelli - Not my first choice for our back line, but then look at the state it was left in after the summer transfer window. The old guard stepped up big, playing perhaps some of his best Juve ball in years.
Chiellini - Another highlight on the hurting backline, Chiellini seemed to steer more away from his whining days at Fiorentina and helped out the squad when it needed it in playing either centerback or wingback, making some key crosses, making some key stops.
Camoranesi - Say what you will about his reluctance to play in B, Camo put in some major matches for us this season.
Nedved - What more is there to say? The guy was a never-say-die engine behind our ball control and movement. Helping matters, as opposed to under Capello, was more freedom to play behind the fordwards instead of on the left wing. Always played with guts and heart. And as the season wore on, proved himself as worthy of historic Juve stripes and loyalties as just about anyone on the squad.
Palladino - Some rough patches earlier on, but with time and experience he became a versatile option that lended credibility to our attack...whether playing on the wing or as a true forward.
Del Piero - The leading Serie B scorer, loyal to the Old Lady to the death, fired up as our captain to ensure his teammates wouldn't suffer a let-down in B ... what more needs to be said? He also had some of his healthiest streaks for Juve for some time...
Other noteworthy performances I may be missing here?
