He's got my vote. And not to sell out our captain, but he ain't getting any younger. I see Marchetti and I'm like, "That could work for a while in Juve's future."

Buffon is going to play for at least two more years, and I honestly don't think buying a 32 years old Marchetti in two years is the way to go. He's fucking brilliant at the moment though.
If we will have to find Buffon's replacement, we should look at Bundesliga. Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Kevin Trapp, Ron-Robert Zieler, Bernd Leno - all of them are young and promising. Ter Stegen is my favourite - very mature and skilled player and only 20 years old.

Nicola Leali is great man. If I were Conte, I'd push Rubinho out, downgrade Storari to be a 3rd option GK (even though I love him) and bring Leali back to serve as a 2nd option GK and Buffon's understudy in what's left of the great man's career.
As for Leali though, I don't think that loaning him out to a Serie B side again is better than him being with Buffon everyday at Vinovo. Either he gets loaned out to a Serie A side as a starter (which I doubt it knowing how Italians treat youngsters) or he just comes back as a 2nd option GK and learn on daily basis from Gigi.
