Deschamps says he wants two champions for the next season. He'll keep faith in the youngsters, five or six youngsters will stay in the squad, but he wants two champions to increase the competiveness of the stars. He adds, rather a pair of champions than many players of medium quality.
Look, people, if we wish to build our squad for the future and make improvements, it's obvious we will need to sell off one of our biggest stars. After losing so much money due to being in Serie B, I doubt we have enough to fund these transfer plans we keep hearing about.
TURIN, Italy (AP) - Juventus is within one point of the Serie B lead and doesn't plan to transfer any players in January
"With the determination put out on the field so far we have a great chance to reach our goal of promotion with the current structure," Juventus president Giovanni Cobolli Gigli told ANSA on Thursday.
Juventus is unbeaten in Italy's second division with 10 wins and three draws and is just behind Napoli. It was demoted to the Serie B and docked nine points due to the Italian match-fixing scandal.
"By January, we will have gotten back all our injured players and we have many young players that we hope will continue to give us great satisfaction," said Cobolli Gigli.
There "will not be any arrivals or departures" in January, he added.
Goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon's contract with Juventus doesn't expire until 2010, but speculation had mounted that he might leave. Juventus took out a full-page advertisement in each of Italy's three all-sports newspapers Wednesday to express its appreciation for Buffon.
Cobolli Gigli said it was "logical" that the club would meet with Buffon to extend his contract.
Striker David Trezeguet and midfielder Mauro Camoranesi had also been mentioned as players that could leave Turin.
Coach Didier Deschamps left open some room for movement.
"There will not be any new arrivals. Although if someone hasn't found space, they could go finish the season on loan," Deschamps said on Juventus' Web site.

bringing new players will be absolutely disturning for the players. I think we have a good quality here with the raising youngsters. The injury is temporary and by january we'll have a complete and competitive squad.
