What happened to all the talk about Saviola coming from Barcelona. Was that a lie or just to wind up the supporters and Moggi promised us a suprise well he has a week to fullfil his promise.

Never mind Saviola mate; if all of the transfer rumours regarding Juve came true, we'd have a big enough squad to field a new starting lineup in every competition we play in :)

I think we need a striker, we have 4 strikers, if 2 of them fall out, we can play with only 2 striker without substitutions...
Moggi said that we don't need any players, I hope he lies... :)

Welcome to the forums Jocpocmoc ;)

I agree, we should sign another striker, but to be honest my first priority is still a defender, even in light of Tudor signing a new contract with us.

    I would like to see Cannavaro at Juve. With him, the defence is unstopable. Also I like to see Oddo at Juve.

    Oddo-Cannavaro-Thuram-Zambrotta

    Camoranesi-Tacchinardi-Emerson-Nedved

    Del Piero-Trezeguet

    Olivera and Blasi/Appiah in for Camoranesi and Tacchinardi and you've got a very good team, capable of competing on all fronts. We might even win something if the guys avoid long term injuries.

    Great defence requires more than just great individual talent at the back. Defending more than any area in soccer is a team effort. It starts from the forward pressing down opposition. Secondly I am not so sure on Thuram and Canna partnership - None of them are natural leader at the back even if Canna has a knack of snuffing out danger with his instinct.
    From what I remember, the player who really organized the Parma defence in their heyday was neither Thuram or Canna but very underappreciated defender called Torrisi. But I like the fact that Moggi is prepared to bring some new faces in the defence, and as Stuart mentions having likes of Blasi, Canna, Olivera, Kapo, Chiellini really give that extra insurance. More importantly IMO is that new faces bring competition, and unlike last year where players were guranteed a place, Capello will choose player based on merit (Hopefully), which means regardless of reputation they will have to produce. So hopefully, we can expect better years from Pavel Nedved, Alex Del Piero, Paolo Montero, Lillian Thuram, Alessio Tacchinardi, and Mauro Camoranesi who came up with some lethargic performances last year. Otherwise, Miccoli, Olivera, Kapo, Canna, Blasi, Chiellini will take their place.

    good post jun,but imo thuram and canna are capable of organizing and leading the defence,at least more than what montero and leggro were able to do last season.

    getting canna in defence is a definite upgrade over what we have.
