Im dane, belive me when i say that Krøldrup isnt the right option for Juve.

Ok he is tall, and he is good in the air, but he is also clumsy and not that fast...

He doesnt read the game as good as many other good talanted defenders.
I would like him in Juve, only to get Juve to a higher population in scandinavien or just to be a reserve for another defender.

Overall, i dont think that Krøldrup is the right choice for juve, when Mexes and Ferrari is on our shortlist

I just love the way that Rocchi is handling the Media comparison to Trez:


01/25/2004. After last week's victory against Inter, Empoli draw 3-3 with Juventus and continue to surprise. Rocchi scored three goals tonight and is convinced that his team can play against anybody.
"We have proven that we can win any game as long as we play as if it was the last," he said.

"I know that I scored three goals like Trezeguet but he is a Champion and I have still got a lot to do before I can compare myself to him".

The game was kind of exciting because rthe lot of goals.... but of course.... is very shamefull to see all those crappy goals against us..

ow is very VERY clear that we need some new defenders.... becaue our defence is simply not enough... we will not win the lague with a defense like that :) and who knows what will happen in europe :frown:

Ill be quick...:
Buffomn seemed out of confuidence...
apart from thuram who was kind of acceptable,, all the defenders underperformed...

IN the middle everyone was ok,, nedved did not too much but we cant expect him to be top class in every game, he is human.
Camo.... well he did very bad today,,, doing bad crosses and losing LOTS of balls... veyr bad camo.

Del Piero was ok.... he did some good crosses and a great shot which ended almost in another Trez goal.

Trezeguet: Well. like i said in another thread.. the good point of selling trez... is that we can buy a more skilled player...... BUT.. TREZEGUET ALWAYS SEEMS TO SCore....AND in the end that is what matters.
Good hattrick and good game for himªª!! Forza Trez!!.


Wrell.. we really needed those 3 points ,... but we can still cath roma and milan... i hope....

we urgelñy need some new defenders and thats is very clear for everyone now.!!!

Of course I'd take Mexès but he plays right center back. Kroldrup plays on the left. From what I saw he's not that bad. He could learn from Montero.:D

That's my opinion, I respect yours too.

We really can win the league if we try hard enough this season, but I think we should forget about the league. We need to replenish our squad and that should be our no.1 priority.

Im tired of winning the league now. I want Europe.

Offcourse i respect your opinion, i myself is a Dane and like Krøldrup, but he is not ready for Juve. He has potential, and is good, but not Juve material.

Unfortunatly he hasnt played on the national team yet, and thats a big fact for buying a player.

As i see it, we only need 1 defender. We have Legro, he is underachiving, but he needs time.

Its just a shame that Lippi doesnt have faith in him, because he is theoreticly a perfekt defender: Good in the air, a good tackler, he is kinda fast and he can read the play well.

He just gets shaky when he is playing for Juve, and thats normal... Only a couple a years back he played in Serie B, and now he is on the national team and in the CL.

Like he said; Its all going so fast for him, his debut match for Juve was against Barca.
Belive me, Legro is class, he just needs to adapt, like Thuram!

I agree about the Legro part, but I think we need at least 2 or 3 defenders.

I honestly cant (and dont want to) see Iuliano an Montero playing for us next year. Therefore, we need two central defenders to replace them (we'd have Legrottaglie, Ferrara and Tudor - Tudor is always injured and Ferrara is 37 years old) so maybe even a 3rd central defender would be needed. And IMO we need a right back to cover Thuram when he's injured, Pessotto is out of it and Biri could cover Zambrotta on the left.

IMO we need 3 or 4 defenders.

:wallbang: WTH happened tonite....?

i didnt see the game, but was buffon to blame somehow....? even tho our defence is crap, but if only buffon is playiing like he was last season :down: :down: he failed to live up to last season's hype.....that's what i think :devil:

Oh you are looking at the whole defence, i was only looking at the Central Backs. I think Thuram and Zambo are doing fine. I was thinking Legro + a new defender and tudor as a reserve.
But when you mention the Full Backs, i think you got a point, cuz Thuram wont be here forever, and we need a backup for him and zambo, and even a backup for injured Birri :D

Armand, Mexes, Ferarri and Lucio should do it.

We could afford them if we sold Buffon ;)

Or Del Piero ;)
From reading all the stuff and i suppose uread mine as well,i'm in the same head with you -Z-.
We need to buy at least 2 defenders for the next year.
CD:
Fresi-no thanks.
Ferrara-old,retiring.ok maybe on the bench.
Montero-Same.
Iuliano-sell him.
Pessoto-Bench.
Biri-Bench.
Zenoni will olso be on the bench.

So for the full backs we have Zambro and Thuram with Pessoto and Biri covering,only who i would like to add here is Trabelsi.he also wants to join us.

As for CD'S we have Tudor who is injured always and Legro for the starting so we need to 2 defenders.
wich from the ruomors i think will be Ferrari now and Lucio at the end of season.

Your opinions?

Check the "We dont need any new players" thread in the Team talk and you'll see what I think about our current defenders.

Thats not so easy mate, we'd have to compensate him with some 7 million €

++ [ originally posted by Matto ] ++Thankfully Empoli have a problem scoring goals - even OUR defence might keep the net empty this time 'round.
My word, I knew I should've kept my mouth shut.

But at least we've established something today: anyone still denying we are in defensive problems is either blind or stupid.
