No, we shouldn't rush it with Krasic for sure. Rather see Lanza start and then throw on the Milos if neccesary (which it might well be). I believe this game to be very important for us in terms of galvanising the side to winning against these run of the mill but still feisty teams. We need that if we are to achieve CL, not to mention the S word.

While we're waiting you might want to check out this post on the latest refereeing issues:

I didn't see Traore against Roma, but I know from what I've see of him in England that he does not have good positional sense.
That's why you play him and teach him positional sense, something which DN seems to be quite adept at - he's only 21 - quick, tall and athletic - can also cross the ball.

Grosso is dead wood

I haven't seen much of Traore in England, but from what I hear he's not much of an upgrade. Having said that, he just came back from injury vs Roma, I don't think there's any harm in giving him more starts and see how he fares in the Juventus jersey.

Sissoko was called just that before making the switch here and one season and a half later some were labelling us Sissoko dependant.
I saw Sissoko at Liverpool and it was apparent he could be useful, if used properly.


All Im saying don't write the guy off just yet, I admit I've never watched him with Arsenal neither with Portsmoth but if anything, the tactical Serie A might just suit him well rather than the pacey EPL.

Juve already have one full back who is a project in De Ceglie, no need for another one.

Grosso has responded well to the kick up the arse he got from Juve freezing him out, so might as well stick with him for the time being.

That freak better not rush back.
He's had a good week of training, as far as I know, so shouldn't be too big a risk.

Grosso is rubbish

De Ceglie is a work in progress but unavailable for yonks

Traore should be used - he's lightning quick and can cross - DN can teach him more about positional play

De ceglie, before Del Neri got hold of him, never looked like a defender, had nothing useful to offer but pace and determination, his positioning was atrocious, so many times it was like playing without a left back. Perhaps Del Neri can improve Traore. Worth a pop, as we have him for the season...
