Turin move beckons for Squillaci (5 Viewers)

[Adrian]

i totally agree with Andre 3000. i'm at the point where watching this team actually makes me sick. if someone had said to me 5 years ago that juventus would be in this state as they are right now, i would have laughed in their faces. but the day has come where major changes are needed.

i would sacrifice another 2 seasons of not winning anything to let young stars develop as a whole and become something that is special, not only in italy, but in europe.

we may be kings of italy, but we definately dont stand out as much in europe as milan, real madrid, ajax, bayern and liverpool do. we could if we had won a few more CL's recently, but we havent.

the one thing that i dont understand about Moggi is that he isnt willing to take risks on players such as Kaka and other youngsters, but he does take the risks in signing players from mid table teams in serie A who have shown maybe one good season in serie A. He portrays a very ignorant way of thinking.

Exactly. I know a lot of spoilt fans will disagree and only think in the short-term, saying "But we're Juventus, we should win things every year", but if we can develop our youngsters and get a good youth system going (where we actually play our young players ala Arsenal, instead of just developing them and letting them rot), we'd be much more powerful in Europe

Good post.

Btw, what's the time down under right now?

 

[Adrian]

1 pm EST on saturday. its a cold day here in melbourne, staying inside reading football stuff seems like the best thing to do.

 

[Stu]

Cha.. you're in the middle of your day and I'm in the middle of my night

Well, it's 11:05PM here and I've got a football match to play tomorrow so I'm going to get some rest. Goodnight.

:LOL: @ Melbourne, you guys have about 12 seasons a week Every time I've been there the weather's changed at least 5 times in a day hehe. It's a very nice place though, I like the tram system.

Cya Stu, gluck for your match

 

[Adrian]

goodnight stu.

graham, yeah, on thursday it was high 20's and i was in shorts and a shirt at uni and yday and today its like 12 degrees and it has rained a about 5 or so inches.

we do get all the seasons in one day, but thats what makes Melbourne the most livable city in the world

Cmon man. People who say that we don't need big changes are living in Lala Juve land, we DO need to take extreme measurements to ensure our team's future but don't you guys think you're being too harsh here? Yes Juve sucks and everything, we all know that but SURELY there is no need to be REALLY harsh to the players, after all they're human though that doesn't give them the right to play like shite, but to diss Montero and somehow Ferrara who is for me one of the best defenders for this season is just purely sick. You can criticize but you guys are overdoing it and it's been the first real season of their lack of good football but let's not forget that they were once great footballers so why the need to be really harsh? PLEASE. We are all thinking of Juve's betterment and everything but don't let that totally blind you let's not forget these players who sucked now were once the players who made Juve better

And I'm not saying we shouldn't get rid of them we SHOULD but to really talk like you REALLY HATE them is just disgraceful

Yeah, but does anybody really think that Europe means anything to juve management? I have yet to see any evidence to support that. We don't take a transfer or youth developement policy designed to win in Europe, so how can we? Besides, I think that everyone in the Juve board room would be happy if Juve won the Scudetto every season and never won the CL.

No use, we lost 6-0.. but then again, that's ok - I was expecting worse. I was pish, but I never thought I would do very well against players older than me. Here the age groups are set up so stupid. I'm 14 and have to play U-17.

 

[Stu]

And btw, the team we played against consists of seven players that are going to the U-17 world cup.

 

[The Arif]

7 players going to U-17 WC?

then you are lucky to have lost JUST 6-0

 

[Stu]

Yeah, I know. I'm getting a transfer to the same club. Their coaching is amazing imo. There's this guy that I knew from when I was 9 or 10, and he was never anything special. He used to play striker for my primary school team some years back, and now he's one of the best defensive midfielders on the island.

 

[The Arif]

really?

and in which league do you play?

any U-17 league?

 

[Stu]

I play in our national U-17 league. When I was in U-13 and U-15 I won trophies for best midfielder, but it hasn't been easy playing with the older guys. Fortunately I still have another year (maybe two) in U-17.

 

[The Arif]

ah, gluck then.

hope you win trophies again.

let's get back to the topic now.

 

[Stu]

Gluck... I love that word

PS. Do you guys think Santini will take Squillaci to Portugal?

 

[The Arif]

i personally think that santini should take evra, for squillaci don't know.

 

[Stu]

Evra has to go. He's been brilliant this season. I don't think he'll take Squillaci, but then again France don't have a great abundance of central defenders. Desailly, Mexes, Gallas, who else?
