Its time we all accepted that our current squad, directors and management are ALL in need of renovation. From the top to the bottom of our once great club, we see mediocrity. In the directors box, in the dugout, on the fucking field. And rather than whinge about who to blame, and trying new formations which would be more exciting and perhaps more useful than our recent efforts...I prefer to gauge the opinion of my fellow juventini and work out, firstly, who should be culled and who should be kept.
GK.
Buffon- Obviously we want him, but as it looks likely we will need to make major changes in the summer, we will probably need a season AT LEAST to gel, new players, new manager, new tactics. So if he wants to leave, I will wish him luck, with tears in my eyes.IN.
Manninger- too erratic to be called reliable. Should be CULLED. OUT.
CB
Cannavaro. The risk has not paid off. His form and physical state have both been below par for most of the season. OUT.
Chiellini. obviously IN.
Legro, can be kept as backup, but probably best he is OUT.
Ariuado...if he does well at Cagliari, lets give the boy a chance IN
LB:
Grosso. OUT
De Ceglie...OUT He has had a fair few chances to show what he can do. Perhaps if asked to play as a left back with a left midfielder in front of him, we may see more value, but definitely NOT as a wingback. He doesn't have the quality defensively or offensively. And he looks like Damien from the Omen. OUT.
RB:
Gryerga. At best, solid yet unspectacular. Hardly juve material, the juve material we ALL expect and demand. OUT
Zebina. more dead than alive. OUT
Caceres...unsure about him, but at best, he is volatile and erratic and doesn't seem naturally useful at marking or heading...which makes him seem, a liability more than an asset. OUT.
so for the defence...Manninger,Grygera, zebina, de ceglie, Canna, Legro, grosso, Caceres.
Leaving Buffon, Chiellini, Ariuado.
Midfield:
Melo. Showing more of what we expect, under Zach's tutelage. IN.
Momo. I love him as a destroyer, but unfortunately he is too vicious to play calmly in front of the defence, and his shocking lack of ball control and basic passing ability makes him a problem whenever we move forward. I wouldn't be too upset to see him go, though will be happy if he stays, and becomes an all out destroyer...In/OUT for a decent fee.
Poulsen. OUT. too many chances, too little shown.
Tiago. OUT, same as above.
Marchiso. IN. His progress has been stunted this season, but still he has potential to become our tardelli.
Sali. too old, OUT.
Camo- injured more than available, a costly luxury. OUT.
Giovinco. Criminally underused. He has pace, trickery, flair, creativity, everything our attack lacks...IN.
Candreva. Showing promise. for a decent fee...IN.
Diego, real quality about him, we weren't shafted for the 25m, he is too good to sell without replacing him with similar quality, IN
OUT: Poulsen, Tiago, Sali, Camo, perhaps Momo.
IN: Melo, Marchisio, Giovinco, Candreva, Diego
Attack:
DP- will never be sold, but must accept that its time to let the new blood through to show what they can do. a reluctant IN reluctant because his star has been fast fading for many moons now...
Trez.- could still offer us another season, but his body is crippled, and we dont play to his strengths presently...so, if a decent offer comes in, OUT.
Amauri. The most ineffective striker I have seen play so often for Juve, in 16 years of following the club. definitely OUT.
Iaquinta. at worst, very useful as a squad player, at best, power, heart, aerial threat, needs 5 chances to score one goal, but he makes 5 chances more than all other attackers per game...IN
OUT: Trez, Amauri
IN: DP, Iaquinta.
This would leave us:
GK: Buffon
D:Chiellini, Ariuado
M: Melo, MArchiso, Giovinco, Candreva, (Momo), Diego
A: Dp, Iaquinta.
Stripping the squad bare keeping the quality, and the unsellable (DP)...its a start.
Clearly, we need a new president, a new transfer mogul and a new manager. The most important of which will be the manager.
