Legro will be unavailable i heard so Tudor could probably take is place i guess.

I want Oddo and Lucio during this transfer window hopefully :/

finally some Serie A action ! Hopefully Juve start 2004 with not only a win but also a solid all round performance.

Yeah, Oddo and Lucio would be two very useful acquisitions. I know that I've bashed the latter in the past, and I still say that he's not as good as the likes of Chivu, Marquez, and Mexes, but he's the only decent centre back that hasn't already played in Europe this season. I also hope that if we get Oddo, Thuram makes a successful move to central defence.

well yes in the Serie A... but what happens in Europe ? Thuram back to RB ? I don't think the constant shifiting of Thurams position is a good idea at all.

That's why I believe that Moggi will not go for Oddo before June.

agree.... i also see liltle chance that such think will happen.. being a good investor and all, Juve board never invest on thing they cant fully utilize....

i think that Daniel guy is more propable target..

If you ask me, we'll buy no one in January.
when was the last time we bought a player in the middle of the season? ? ?

It's not a matter of gelling; it's a matter of two small forwards up front which doesn't make too much sense since both prefer starting from the 3/4 of th epitch, therefore with them together we would not have a lone striker up front ready to pounce on the ball.

And that is exactly what I want. Put an end to this dreadful lone striker syndrome.

 

[Zizou]

But having no striker up front and 3 forwards who are start from the 3/4 of the pitch will keep us toothless up front and too predictable.

Lippi announced the formation:

Juventus (4-3-1-2): Buffon; Birindelli, Ferrara, Tudor, Zambrotta; Appiah, Conte, Maresca; Nedved; Del Piero, Trezeguet

Montero, Camoranesi and Zalayeta have only been with the team from the 2nd of January so therefore they are not match fit; they will sit on the bench.

 

[aressandro10]

damn... i hope Lippi drop the 3412 only coz a lot of players unavailable

With Maresca & Nedved we won't be so predictable. Anyway looks like Lippi had other ideas ...

Juventus (4-3-1-2): Buffon; Birindelli, Ferrara, Tudor, Zambrotta; Appiah, Conte, Maresca; Nedved; Del Piero, Trezeguet

Am scared about Conte at central mid.

i tink conte will do ok. where is miccoli is he injured or anything or is he just on the bench and i think what lippi said abought davids having an ankle injury is bull.

We bought Davids!!!

 

[Zizou]

Davids was in the 97/98 season.

After that we bought Esnaider and Henry in January.

 

[Mark]

Right

Oh, that was just mean. Thanks for the preview Glenn

 

[Trezeguet_FC]

Conte?

 

[Gandalf]

I just read the preview.. Thanx Glenn but, I have a question about this..

The South American players only joined the team training from the 2nd of January, therefore Montero, Camoranesi and Zalayeta will sit on the bench.

isn't camoranesi an italian..? well officially..
