Still hope Pirlo stays and we rotate more in midfield. That will surely make things a little bit easier in CL.

Last year some of our best midfielders played a lot even in Coopa Italia.

Dear Sami,
In this crazy world we live in, someone you've never heard of or will probably never meet, feels, as a Juventus fan, that its ok to write to you on an internet page to say welcome. But here I am, and there you are, somewhere, preparing for the next season today.

But I'm writing this with real meaning when I say welcome, because you are now at a club that is different, and a club where the fans genuinely care about their team. Now I'm quite sure every fan of any team would say that, but at Juventus, you're not just a player, you a Juventus player and that means you're part of our family. You are now one of us, and you are now family (you're welcome round for tea anytime mate).

Welcome to a bond with a set of fans that will not just sing your name, but look out for you, welcome to a ground where the feeling is different, a sense of history, family and warmth, of times shared and where the outside world and press are invited in but never truly part of it, welcome to a place, a sense of place, a culture that sets us apart from the rest of them.

I've read about your upbringing, it must be very odd to have your everyday shared with millions, your history available for analysis and comment by strangers, and then to be called 'crazy' by these people who haven't a clue. They are the crazy folk, they are the ones who think its ok to write about other people as if they are professional pyschologists, mind readers and judges of character. Not you.

Well, welcome to a club that sets apart from that world. Juventus is a club that does it differently, where the emotions are heartfelt not invented, the flags are fabric not plastic and the noise deafeningly sincere.

Juventus' great players have all been special, and different and gifted and marvellous to watch, and all of them acknowledge the club has a special place in their hearts. You are brilliant at your job, wonderful to watch, and you arriving here has made a lot of people excited. You have the gift of creating emotion in men's hearts, that's the real meaning of football, and I hope I speak for all Juventus fans when I say, have the best time of your life here, have a great career and score lots of goals sure, but really, truly, have a great life whilst at our club.

In some ways, Sami, welcome home.

But Sami, let me tell you something Sami, come closer...CLOSER!
If you won’t deliver...the mighty TUZ people will waste no time calling you the new Iaquinta. Always keep that in mind.

But still, welcome home Sami.
:tup:

well said.

Marchisio, Pogba, Vidal, Khedira, Pereyra, Sturaro, Asamoah, Pirlo.

Is there a midfield anywhere that is better than this? I don't think so. We could put in our second-best 4 and we'd still have a better midfield than 90% of teams.

As X once said about this transfer, I am not a fan but I was proven wrong many times so I won't complain. Let's hope he does what he has to do and be part of a silverware winning team.

Great signing. He's the perfect replacement for Pirlo making the CDM solid and options for the other CMs to take much greater part in the offensive side. IMO Khedira is a CDM; we shouldn't play him as a box-to-box for Marchisio, Vidal or Pogba!

Signing a WC winner, now that's adding to experience of the team!!

Oh and btw; he has a gorgeous gf
