I think we should remember that Juventus is first in the Champions group, almost sure of qualifying, has beaten the second best in the group, bayern. Champions tan stops and starts again in Spring. By then Treze will be back and in top form, hopefully.
The serie A is another thing, very long (20 teams = 38 tournaments). So for serie A some help could be needed. However:
a. Zalayeta is OK for serie A and Champions, he does his job, does not complian is always ready when called, exactly the opposite than a primadonna like Cassano.
b. Juventus may need to let go some defenders who were responsible for the low performance of last year and bring in some new ones for the needed turnover.
c. I see as Juventus primary target the Champions this year. Come on, juve won serie A some 27 times, and only twice the Champions (loosing it in some 5 other finals). It is time to win the third one.
