A busy summer in the transfer market has James Horncastle sure in the belief Juventus will not be playing second fiddle to Inter this season
The revolving door on Corso Galileo Ferraris has hardly stopped spinning in Turin this summer. Such is the calibre of the players walking into Juventus HQ ready to sign up to be a part of the Bianconeri’s next campaign that many believe the door is a portal back to the glory years. The fact that Juventus have returned to being competitive so soon after their forced relegation in 2006 continues to surprise their supporters and shock their detractors.
A lot of the credit for the Bianconeri’s resurgence should go to the two-year-old ‘honest’ triad composed of Giovanni Cobolli Gigli, Jean Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco. Often maligned and disparagingly portrayed as apologists, their vision of restoring dignity and then success to the club is already showing signs of triumph.
While rivals Inter, Milan and Roma ponder their next step, Juventus are already three moves ahead, competing with Fiorentina, Palermo, Napoli and Genoa in the spending stakes. Several deals were completed before the transfer window even opened, while Momo Sissoko’s transfer in January heralded the true beginning of Juventus’ strategy for 2008-09.
Every area, apart from that between the sticks, has been strengthened in view of the Bianconeri’s domestic and European commitments. Juventus’ attack was the most prolific last season and the acquisition of Amauri will make it even more dangerous. The return of Seba Giovinco and Claudio Marchisio adds guile and grit to the midfield, which should be bolstered further with one of Xabi Alonso, Christian Poulsen and Dejan Stankovic. The first two are good candidates with a European pedigree, while the latter should be disregarded altogether given his revelry in all things anti-Juventus.
At the back, I’d say the Bianconeri are upstanding rather than outstanding. Olof Mellberg and Dario Knezevic are steady and reliable, as is Jorge Andrade who should be treated as a new signing after being out for most of his debut season. And with Gigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Pavel Nedved, Vincenzo Iaquinta, Ale Del Piero and David Trezeguet alongside them, they look every bit championship contenders.
“If we were in Formula One, we would be in pole position,” said Coach Claudio Ranieri this week. And while one should not discount Milan, Roma, Inter and Fiorentina, it’s difficult not to see a Bianconero Scudetto around the corner. What do you think?

I really hate that Camoranesi isn't really appreciate by the media as much as the highlighted players.
