I came/ended up here because I wanted to know the players we're linked with and what everyone else thinks about them. Because the Juve I remember always had great great players, now it seems we are flooded with shit and the way things goes, if this keeps up neutrals and the very very weak minded will jump to the merda side. I need to know if there's light at the end of this tunnel. 
Hello from California. I was introduced to Juventus by a barber on the east coast in the early 90s. I spent countless hours in his shop in the years that followed, watching tapes of highlights, listening to Enzo and his friends chat, and falling in love with Serie A. I was not conscious of being a Juve fan in those years; I supported them because it was Enzo's team, and after Enzo passed away, following Juventus in every way I could was as much a show of respect to a man who was so very kind to me as it was about being a fan of the club. It was not until calciopoli that I became aware of the depth of my passion. I was devastated of course, and for the first time glad Enzo had passed away. But I heard that fans had unfurled a banner that read "The end justifies the means." It is not a sentiment I agree with; but I when I heard that, I felt, I dunno, something like what you feel at the top of a roller coaster ride just as you take that first dip downward, your insides seem to sink down a foot. The fans were sticking by the team. And I found myself thinking "f___ing right." And then a few years later I read about some player whose name I don't even remember who Juve and Liverpool were both interested in, and this guy said "Liverpool are a bigger club." The rage I felt at that statement shocked me. Because that's what it was; not disagreement, not irritation, but rage. I'm not a teenager anymore lol. That sort of thing should not make a grown up emotionally unsettled. But it did. Ever since then the desire to see more of Juventus, talk about Juventus, indulge in all things Juventus, has just grown and grown. And now I find myself here, close to two decades after I first set foot in Enzo's Barbershop.
I won't pretend to be a knowledgable guy. I can't even see most games, where I am, just what Fox Soccer Channel shows me, and what I can download. All I can say is I'm a fan who hopes to learn more about the club, and football, and hopefully be able to contribute a decent comment here and there.
