No, you also predict that things will go wrong ALL THE TIME. Just that you're ignoring your wrong predictions and you're putting an accent on your right ones, which weren't as right as you make them to be.

What?? give me an example...i would rather say that you ignore the parts when i give credit where i should...but i could easily say that yo defend our board no matter what...
When you were defending the Amauri move with passion and i was saying that it is a wrong move, because we already bought coverage on Iaquinta and we will buy other forwards by the time DP+Treze retires. You said that spending the bulk
of our transfer budget for our stacked up forward line would be mistake and you wouldnt adopt the idea.
But here you are now defending it...at least i am not afraid of my choices and i stand firm on my ground. Therefore i have the courage to explain what kind of moves i would approve and why... then i have all the right to complain when history actually proves me right...

Alen (and me and Red and a bunch others) do not defend the board no matter what, we simply question the constant bashing and negative predictions that are almost wrong all the time. There is a difference between not bashing and defending, actually there is a HUGE difference.

 

[Sadomin]

It is true that Chelsea was the toughest match we had, but they play without wingers so it isn't the best example.

I do like playing a 4-3-3, but I'm trying to imagine how Ranieri's thinking. It's easier to write him off as stupid rather than trying to see the logic in his action, but it's there. It's not always what you and I agree with but he has his reasons. If those reasons are what I wrote a few posts above, then we could see a formation change after summer.

 

[Tomice]

Sadomin I sure as hell hope you are right.
however its hard to belive that renieri sees it that way. this is way opted for a dm in last summer insted of a creative one and bought another box-striker like trez. it seem to me by his actions that he does belive that 4-4-2 is the best for us,

I hope renieri is aiming for the 4-3-3, but if he dosent and we still end up with cassano i think we can forget forget getting any further with senior Claudio.

That my penny on the matter and my first one in the forum.

Forze Juve- My love

But that's the thing. I don't see any logic in fielding average players just to maintain a system. A manager is supposed to use the system that fits the players the most, not the other way around. Anybody can have their reasons but if the reasons are inane they just have to accept it and move on.

I do not generally question or bash our board for no good reason.
My criticism is aimed at some specific choices they made and their long term effects.
For example i ve extensively explained under which circumstances the Cassano deal would be grave mistake. If our board manages to recreate the exact same circumstances and those circumstances have the effect i predicted, then i do have the right to keep bashing this particular choice for the remainder of the season, as its effects expands through it and affect our chances!
I dont bash our board for the odd/random bad result, or because the winds blow from the wrong today, i offer extensive arguments in an attempt to offer a constructive criticism. I think there is a difference there.
I am not to blame for other people's behaviors and motives...

There is not only black and white, only pessimism and optimism, but a lot of degrees between them. It is a mistake to throw every one in just one of those two groups.

For example when i said that i expect us to win nothing in this season,
due to the choices made from our board, that undermined our chances.
When others where dreaming of titles(championship+CL final for Neddy),
i was just wanted to remain realistic and keep the balance in here.
Although you tried to make it sound more dramatic, with the "we are doomed" quotes and such, but that was never my intention. If i was pessimistic, i would say that we will only qualify for the UEFA positions, or worse...(i might try that for a change to realize the difference)
I just wanted to keep it real and avoid some of the members here get carried away and eventually disappointed when we will naturally fail to met such high expectations...

Thats my point, for the life of me i can't get it. renieri still fields every game the same players that we all see are average at best. game after game.

you dont need 20 years of seria a coaching exp. to see that our squde dosn't have the players for 4-4-2.
this is why as much as i try to like renieri and i do to some extent I can't get is logic, but i do hope he has one (i'm not convinced yet)/

Agreed, and welcome to the forums.

If we offered 16m Euros for Alonso but only ended up paying 8m for Poulsen, why didnt we end up buying a new RB/LB with the remaing 8m?

Whoever we bought may not of been a world beater but would surely of been an upgrade to what we have now.

 

[cunninlynguists]

I find it really amazing how you guys come up with some uber tactic and end every post with ; but CR would never do this
Just a great joy to read

I doubt so. We could have bought a Dossena, in which case it would have been a waste as well.

 

[BIG DADDY!!!]

Dossena was a good Lb in Serie A, hes was just struggling with the fast pace of the EPL.

Though I think his performances have gotten better in recent weeks I still wouldnt want him here at Juve.

No point in spending that cash if there wasn't a good option available.

Better to wait for the right opportunity.

I think Trez will be sold. His comments after the Chelsea match, and the backlash he took in the media by our management points towards an exit, imo. They could have addressed the matter internally, but went public and tore him a new 1. They wouldn't have belittled him publicly if they wanted to keep him happy and with Juve. He is gone imo. If not Trez, than IQ, but I doubt it since he rejected a lucrative contract to play in Russia.

We should be able to get at least €10m for Trezegol, and it's not impossible to raise another €6m with some of our co-owns. This €16m + Almiron Cassano rumour seems believable.

W/e money they put aside for a Nedved replacement is still there.

I can't see us playing a 4321 or 4231, since we could have played those formations this season but never did.

Going by the rumours, than it's this:

ADP/Cassano Amauri (IQ)
Silva? (Seba) Marchisio (Tiago) Momo (Poulsen/Zanetti) Camo (Brazzo)
Molinaro (DC) Chiellini (Criscito) Legro (Mellberg) Grygera (Zebina)
Buffon (Manninger)​

Purchasing Cassano and a Nedved replacement will mean Giovinco wont see much playing time. Plus forget about a rb.

Personally, I liked our formation vs Chelsea.

Del Piero (Seba) Amauri (IQ)
Cassano (Seba)
Marchisio (Tiago) Momo (Poulsen/Zanetti) Camo (Brazzo)
Molinaro (DC) Chiellini (Criscito) Legro (Mellberg) Zuniga?(Grygera)
Buffon (Manninger)​

Seba can cover for 2 spots which means he will get alot more playing time. Plus we can sign a quality rb and still have a nice chunk of cash to spend wherever else we see fit.

I agree. There are good options around now though so I expect to see someone brought in at RB.

Well if thats an extra 8m Euro on top of the money we have earned from Tv rights, CL etc, Sponsorship bonuses and future player sales then we should have a tidy sum to fix our Neddy replacement and wing back problems.

 

[Mark]

Samp play a 3-5-2 with Cassano as a support striker that loves going wide and cutting inside. He doesn't need to do anything but think offense because of the help at mid.

Do you guys really see him play for Juve in some other position that's not support striker and think he'd play at full potential?

Yes, Alen will be right on it... .......
