When he's not being a hot head he does a better job than many RB's.

So we're linked to VdV and deals for Mellberg :| and Albin Ekdahl are almost done.

I wouldn't say no to Mellberg if VdV would be almost confirmed :p plus Ekdal looks to be a pretty promising AM... tall, pretty solid, and only 18.

Lazio 2-3 Juventus

Trezeguet and Del Piero with a double (Y)

seems that we are also close to sign Czech forward Fenin for about 4m €.
I hope we sign Ivanovic too but Chelsea is in the mix so we can probably forget him. Zapata would be my 2nd choice. At LB, if Molinaro can't cut it then Catania's Vargas would be great. Excellent crosses, can dribble well and is good defensively. He knows Serie A football and is only 25.


:Bow: Zanetti was also great today and Gigi is Gigi.

does anybody have links to the goals? I missed the game...it's good to hear we won...forza Juve!

hey guys! i seem to think that juve have got belief in themselves...

ok our defence is still shaky. and it needs to be sorted out big time.

but elsewhere our midfield and our attack is doing wonders! del piero just keeps on going and going. and so far trezeguet is the capocannoniere.

i have one question after watching the lazio and juve game. why didnt we go for pandev? he is a great young player.

ok i guess u all know i am macedonian and i would obviously live to see my fellow countryman in the juve team. but i just think that we should have made a play for him 24 yrs old and very promising. 3 goals against real madrid 2 goals against juventus... he is doing pretty well. i mean with del piero not getting any younger i think a trezeguet-pandev tandem wouldve been great!

http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=paLGi2S1mrk

Thanks man

:Bow: Zanetti was also great today and Gigi is Gigi.
he's been great, deserves a NT (re)-call-up, bench place, but call-up none the less

nocerino isn't far off either

tiago and almiron have been amazing flops

Rumour from Argentina (Diario Ole)

Juve is willing to pay 15-20 million for Ever Banega, the young defensive midfielder of Boca...

Another overrated player, IMO...


My question is this, can Juve pay 20 million for an under 20 player...? he doesnt score goals, he isnt fast, the only thing above average of Banega is his ball control...

How is the situation with Almiron...?

River wants a six month loan...

I'd be surprised if we paid that amount for him. We're linked with about 100 player per day.

Almiron as been disappointing. Some Greek and Russian clubs want him and he'll probably leave this winter mercato.

any good players coming out of Argentina?

Giovinco: "I want Juve return"

I'm sure there's a way we can get him back this winter, right? :$

Yo guys. Been so damn long since I posted here, just been so busy with school then work. Surprised we're doing so well, 3rd place lol. If we can maintain this, I'll be a happy ****er lol. WTF's going on with Milan though? 11th place without winning a game at home? WTF?

Brazzo (http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1629429) giving us the lead against Siena (H)

David (http://www.d1g.com/video/show/?id=1629546) makes it 2 :rockman:

Juve are said to be after Parma's 21-year old Luca Cigarini, in order to replace Sergio Almiron. the press says that Marchisio and De Ceglie could be involved in an exchange for Cigarini.

I hope it happens, never really seen him play but everybody says he's the next Pirlo so why not?


RYISvJNPOW0


(Y)


edit: I don't agree with the exchange part, though I think we should sign him.

Marchisio alone is worth more than Cigarini. De Ceglie is our future LB. no thanks!

Marchisio for Cigarini? NO! Swap him for Almiron and cash perhaps. damnit juventuz.com is down again

what's your username over there?


anyway, seems like we're getting Sissoko. (:/)

me want vdv

:jacko:

what's your username over there?


anyway, seems like we're getting Sissoko. (:/)

My username is DudebuD, just started posting recently after trolling for awhile. And yes, the Sissoko transfer is unfortunate.

Maaaa noooooo! This Juventus depresses me. :( The team, the men in charge, the transfers... Parole parole parole while Juve is losing 1-0 at Catania.

I wonder where Juve will be in 5 years with this board of administrators and Secco. It's better to not think about it.

can anyone make me a juve sig?...that has this picture of del piero in it. http://www.futbolwallpapers.com/images/del_piero_5.jpg

and this picture of trezeguet
http://www.delpiero.it/images/trezeguet.jpg

with crackaman09...somewhere in a corner with some cool font..it would be greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance my aim is yourmomalovesme if you want to hit me up there...or you can PM me...or email me @ nsprague09@yahoo.com.

I wonder what Moggi is up to these days...

http://www.compagniadellealmee.com/moggi.jpg

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand...............i'm back!:p

A short comment:Guys,don't forget that we had lots of obstacles in our way,even in the beginning of this year's league.Personally i don't worry about anything. ;)

We're so gonna get a beating in the Coppa today. No defense, no Buffon and no Nedved + Tiago, Boumsong and Almiron are as good as gone. Criscito and Olivera already loaned out and no new faces arriving yet. Sissoko and Mellberg? God help us all. :(

Secco, Blanc, Cobolli...get the F*CK outta here!!!

Haha... Boumsong just scored the 2-2 vs. Inter. Ironnyyyyyyy

(I hope this doesn't mean he'll stay... :p)

Sissoko and Mellberg? God help us all. :(

Secco, Blanc, Cobolli...get the F*CK outta here!!!

Seconded.

Now Marchionni is probably out for the season... Tiago and Almiron out... Soon we won't be able to put 11 men on the field.

Official: Almiron on loan to Monaco for 6 months
http://www.asm-fc.com/article.aspx?id=4883

What a disaster all these transfers have been... Unbelievable. They're only trying to calm the fans by promising ''world class players''. It's all bs! Ever since they (Cobolli, Blanc, Secco) arrived it's blah blah blah.

If you look at it...

Cannavaro -> Boumsong? (Hahahaha... Gone. I hope)
Thuram -> Andrade? (Is he still alive?)
Zambrotta -> Molinaro? (Oh gosh..)
Emerson -> Almiron? (Gone)
Vieira -> Tiago? (Soon to be gone)
Mutu -> Bojinov? (Long gone)
Ibrahimovic -> Iaquinta? (Alright...)

It's useless to look at it this way... But... :(

It's true that we need many and good players but those things can't happen in no time. O_o
Anyway,i'm still being optimistic though....!After all,yesterday we had many players that didn't make it to be in the game and it ended 2-2.. O_o

I heard Boumsong would get loaned to Olympique Lyon with an option to buy.

I think it's definitive. 3/3.5m €

WE NEED NEW PLAYERS NOW!!! Sissoko and Mellberg are not enough. 1-2 more.

Pfft... Who's available? They really dropped the ball this summer.

all the good players would be more available this summer so we're stuck with what we have right now.

VDV rumors are getting stronger. We can only hope for a January miracle.

In an ideal world it'd be Mellberg, Sissoko, VDV and...Diego.

VDV and Diego is too much. VDV and a striker like Huntelaar would be sweet!

anyway, seems like we'll sign Lazio CB Guglielmo Stendardo on loan tomorrow. He's suspended 3 games from Serie A but is needed for the Coppa game since we only have Legrottaglie available as a pure CB. :|

juve need to buy itallian players ...
barzagli,zaccardo,aqullini,guisspe rossi

^^Absolutely we need more Italian talents.Poor Del Piero cant handle all the pressure up front so Juve need more fire power probably if they can bring back Toni to Serie A this summer it will be fantastic.

That's not fair on Andrade though, he really got a very unlucky (a bad one) injury.

criscito would be great now, but the idiots loaned him :clapwap:

with almiron gone, i want marchisio back.

and giovinco as vice del piero next year, no need for vdv.

Stendardo officially on loan at Juve. Mellberg in july.

2 new transfers, 2 new average players... *sigh*

Thats what is special about Juventus they make ordinary talents look extraordinary.All these average players would soon become terrific players.

So far it hasnt worked out with this management.... There are reasons to be pessimistic.

FC Tokyo eye bid for Juventus star Nedved

TOKYO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Japanese club FC Tokyo have not ruled out an audacious move for former European Footballer of the Year Pavel Nedved of the Czech Republic.

'It's not out of the question,' FC Tokyo official Fumitoshi Wakabayashi said on Friday. 'The club is always trying to improve and (Nedved) could be one option.'

The J-League club are lining up an offer for the Juventus midfielder in July in a deal worth around £5million, Japan's Nikkan Sports daily reported.

'There is nothing concrete to say at this stage,' Wakabayashi said. 'But in truth I can't say if there's been contact made and at what level.'

The 35-year-old Nedved won 91 caps for his country before retiring from international duty shortly after the 2006 World Cup. He was voted European player of the year in 2003.

'It all depends how things develop from now,' FC Tokyo chairman Yutaka Murabayashi was quoted as saying. 'But we will do everything we can (to sign Nedved).'

It is believed there has already been contact between the Japanese club and Nedved's agent.

Should he make the move, Nedved would follow a number of big-name players to join J-league clubs in the twilight of their careers, including former England striker Gary Lineker, Bulgaria's Hristo Stoichkov and Brazil great Zico.

FC Tokyo joined Japan's professional J-League in 1999 but have never challenged for the first division title, fourth place in 2003 their best finish to date. They were 12th in 2007.

HA!! good luck to FC Tokyo..

Iaquinta saved Ranieri's ass again. It's unbelievable how unprepared this team looks.

Iaquinta saved Ranieri's ass again. It's unbelievable how unprepared this team looks.

to think that with this sh*tty team and no ref "mistakes" we'd be 1st according to La Gazzetta. :O

You guys better watch out....the enemy is getting close...soon they'll be challenging you if they keep climbing at this rate.

to think that with this sh*tty team and no ref "mistakes" we'd be 1st according to La Gazzetta. :O

There's no doubt about it.. from what I can remember there have been times were juve have had calls go against then that could have given juve all three points..

WTF's going on here? We're playing so well in Serie A, but there's less activity than when we were in Serie B!!

bravo Sissoko (H)

Oh golly...

I want to boycot Serie A/Juve until the end of the season. I'm too vain about Juve to see this crap. :(

WTF was Sissoko thinking?

heard Juve's summer tour will be visiting to Indonesia to play a friendly match with Indonesia n.t. this coming July-August..

Ouch, that's a tough defeat...especially with Milan dropping 2 points.

Juventus-Fiorentina
Highlights
http://www.videoplayer.hu/videos/play/139422

great goal by Iaquinta. and he always pulls off the best celebrations too. :p

What do you guys think of Moggi's ''revelation'' that Lippi will be the coach next season?

PLEASE, GOD, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! is all I can say. :( It's probably too good to be true.

PLEASE, GOD, PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! is all I can say. :( It's probably too good to be true.
Seconded

Heh... What else is there to say about Lippi, right? Dang it.


With all the rumours going on I feel like fantasizing...

How sweet would this line-up be? The Aquilani rumours are pretty strong.

Trezeguet Iaquinta
Marchisio Aquilani Camoranesi
Sissoko
Vargas Chiellini Zapata Zebina
Buffon

Maybe De Ceglie or Dossena for Vargas and Zanetti in Marchisio's place (they still better bring him back). This team would challenge for the scudetto I think. Maybe even the Champions League...

... but as long Secco, Blanc and Gigli are in place... Oh well. :(

Come on Juve.. Beat those Inter P.O.S.... And I would Love it if you guys were to Get Lippi as coach..

Oh my goodness.... I think the last time I felt this emotional drainage was the Juventus - Real Madrid game back in 2003. CRAZY!!!!!!!!

Man... Del Piero really should've made all of his chances. Three or something? We got away in extra time there... Wow... Damn... w00t... Aight!

WE WON!! :rockman:

HAHAHHAAHAHA I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEE IT.. Juve just made my day a whole lot better..

Del piero owning Materazzi... What a player even at his age.. FORZA JUVE

Some scary moments in the end.. and Juve should have finished the game with at least 3 or 4.. But thats football.. A win is all that matters..

WOOOOTTTT JUVEEEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!! great game Grygera did a hell of a job in defense ..... damn Alex definitely should of scored 2 goals but oh well.

Great win, 1st half was close but the 2nd wasn't even close. :rockman:

Hey Mark77, been busy looks like it.. But I bet you've must of been really celebrating after that win :D.. Juve are the true Serie A champions in my eyes.. So let me just say.. FORZA JUVE!!

Any news on transfers guys?

Any news on transfers guys?

take this with a pinch of salt. Taken from different sources(media, transfer gurus...)

Giovinco and Marchisio will be back. De Ceglie maybe. Forward Lanzafame is doing great with Bari but will be probably loaned out another season.

As for transfers:

1. Amauri, Huntelaar, Gomez or Elmander for a forward position
2. Vargas, Dossena, Pasqual or Modesto :sb9: for the LB position
3. Aquilani :o , Hamsik or Cigarini for tyhe central mid position
4. Zapata, Lugano ans also Piqué for the CB position
5. we are also looking for some young South American talents: Piatti, Buonanotte, Escudero... I'd go for R. Augusto of Flamengo.

Piatti has something Aimar-esque but he'd be a bit of a gamble I guess.

and van der Vaart or Diego!?

we were linked with them for a while but I think Diego will end up at Real and VDV at Chelsea but you never know!

Seems like we want Flamini on a free according to L'Équipe. I'm sure Arsenal will try everything to keep him. Milan are also interested.

But from What I've heard, Flamini wants more money, which Arsenal are not ready to hand over to him.. Thus he may end going somewhere better...

I see Ranieri did a nice job preparing the team again. What a f*cking disaster... They're clueless out there. It's slow, boring and there is no oganization or structure, especially in defence.

I'll also sigh in relief when screw-ups like Molinaro and Nocerino are off the team.

I'm pissed off. Bring in Amauri. :(

Pfffttt I want to cry. Calcio can be so cruel. This loss could be crucial.

On a more positive note, Del Piero MUST be selected for the Euro's. He's phenomenal!

Brazzo!!

I can't believe how inconsistent this team is! When it's rolling they can be brilliant!
BRAZZO! (H) I'm not sure he's good enough to continue for Juve next season, but this makes me like him a little bit more. :D
Del Piero and Camoranesi are definitely the key players on the team. Too bad Camo had to miss so much of the season. His THREE assists were brilliant.
The defence stays laughable. Spend the entire budget on it! Geesh.

yeah baby! :rockman:

http://images.alice.it/sg/sportuni/upload/juv/0003/juvemilan1.jpg

This was a goosebump moment. Del Piero received the shirt Scirea wore when he played in his 552nd game for Juventus (at least that's what the commentator said). Wonderful gesture from Gaetano's widow and son.

WHAT A GAME!!!!!!! Great win for you guys.

GREAT JOB JUVE ... BUT CAN YOU BACK TO THE UEFA CHAMPION LEAGUE ...
I'LL WAITING YOUR GAME AT UEFA CHAMPION LEAGUE .....

QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (http://qmsforyou.blogspot.com)

Ofcourse...they're firmly in control of 3rd place and could realistically challenge for 2nd, now that Totti's out. 5 points in 4 games is doable.

Palermo's Amauri to be a Juve player soon.

12m € or a bit more + Nocerino and ½Lanzafame

Amauri... I don't get it. Juventus has the top two goalscorers in Serie A plus Iaquinta. Del Piero, Trezeguet, Iaquinta and Amauri... I see unhappy faces on the bench. Put Giovinco in Palladino's place and we're set I'd say.
Focus on a world class defender!!!

Focus on a world class defender!!!

well im uncertain as to whether ppl still remember this face.....but ere goes!!:P

i havent been paying much attention to SG, but im pleased to say that watching juventus this season has been great. juventino u have said it. at the present point after our 3-3 draw with samp, del piero (21) and trezeguet (20) are the top scorers in the league. so do we need a change up front? i say no. what juventus needs to focus on is another midfielder to take nedveds place when he retires. whether ranieri can work someone else in nedveds spot and put giovinco in an attacking mid position remains to be seen. personally i think buying amauri would have to lead to a forward or 2 leaving. in which case if i had to choose that would be iaquinta and palladino.. no way would i give up LA COPPIA D'ORO!

on the defence, juves problem has always been getting a solid defence. realistically we have had too many drawn games this season. if those draws were wins we would be contenders for the title today. my question is... do we bring brack RAMBO zambrotta? or do we look for someone more younger and ready to rejuvenate our team? these are questions secco and co will have to answer for us the fans.

on seccos first year....well he bought in iaquinta but vinnie hasnt had the best of first seasons. i think his best move by far was momo sissoko. i think mom has played well for us. he is still young and well he even scored his first goal for the bianconeri a few weeks after his signing. ever since then he has played a great half season. i have no idea whether the red card will run into next season, but id say that was his only blemish so far.

onto the UCL next year....and b4 that i guess FORZA ITALIA PER I EUROPEI!

lastly i would like to say that ill be travelling 5 hrs by plane to watch juventus play a friendly over here in melbourne australia. i am thrilled at the chance of watching the bianconeri play. so ill be heading from perth to melbourne cheering on our bianconeri!

After Amauri(to be confirmed next week) Juve are targeting X. Alonso. Liverpool could let him go if they sign Barry. Alonso for 16-18m € would be great.

Blasi's other ½ is no longer Juve's. Napoli bought it for 1.7m € and Zalayeta stays another year with Napoli also.

Albin Ekdal signs 4-year contract with Juventus

Juventus Football Club have officially signed footballer Albin Ekdal from Swedish Club IF Brommapojkarna for 0.6 million Euros; the four-year contract with the player will end on June 30 2012.

Swedish attacking midfielder Albin Ekdal was born on July 28 1989 and has already played 4 seasons at Brommapojkarna in the Swedish League – 2 in the youth teams and 2 in the first team – and is a first-team regular in the Swedish Under 19 national team, where he has collected 5 caps and one goal up until now.

The player expressed his satisfaction about signing the contract: «I'm very happy and proud to have the opportunity to wear Juventus' colours. This will be an important experience in terms of my professional growth and my career. I'll have the chance to play and train with many great players and I can't wait to begin doing so».

Alessio Secco also wanted to express his satisfaction about the successful signing just completed: «Albin is a young and very promising player. His signing is part of a project Juventus have to invest in young players. We're happy that Ekdal has chosen to join our team: he will certainly be an important player who will do his part in helping to build Juventus'

A friend of mine told me that Juve already signed Elmander... is this true?

Mark I always trust your info so im waitin for your answer, guru :crazy:

signed? I don't know. We were linked with him for a while but we'll be soon presenting Amauri who's the same type of player as him.

Depends what sources your friend as. :D

so far our transfer campaign could look like this: Mellberg, Ekdal, Giovinco, Marchisio, De Ceglie, Amauri, X. Alonso...possibly a strong CB if we pass the CL preliminaries and a LB if we loan out De Ceglie.

http://www.juventus.com/site/filesite/news/amauri_6.jpg

Welcome to Amauri! (Y)

22.8m € for him. Nocerino to Palermo for 7.5m € and later on Lanzafame could be co-owned to Palermo and bought back by Juve for a pre-established fee.

Next target is a solid mid. X. Alonso, Aquilani...

Is Amauri good?

Of course he's good. Scores his own share of goals and makes many assists also. About the same style as Zlatan.

but why do you guys need another forward? i realize he's good but you have Iaquanta, Trez and Del Pierro... couldn't have you focused on another middy other than alonzo? you can never have enough middies...

Juve will be in the Champion's League next year, we need all the strikers we can get to able to rotate them effectively. We can't have players playing too many games without rest. Two solid midfielders and 2 good center-backs are what Juve should focus on now.

I hate to see all the clubs going for top class players and Juve is just sitting there waiting? WTF man we need to get our respect back... go buy some good players and win the ******* Champions League!!!

After Amauri(to be confirmed next week) Juve are targeting X. Alonso. Liverpool could let him go if they sign Barry. Alonso for 16-18m € would be great.

Blasi's other ½ is no longer Juve's. Napoli bought it for 1.7m € and Zalayeta stays another year with Napoli also.


Seems to be a done deal to be confirmed early next week. Next target is a LB according to many rumors even if Cobolli and Secco said De Ceglie will stay after being bought(co-ownership) for 3.5m €. Fabio Grosso is on top of that list.

Grosso would be great!

No Grosso please, he's a mediocre player, pretty old and Inter-material.

How old is Grosso?

Grosso is like superman when playing for the NT

I don't know if he can reproduce that form weekly at club level, he's 31 in November.

Depectively tall at 1.90 but very quick, top shelf technical ability. I would love him at Juve, more talent in his little toe than Molinaro.

So what's the latest on Xabi Alonso? Is he waiting for "after the tournament"?

Apparently his decision is made. He agreed to sign for us a little while ago. They say about 3.2/3.5m € per year and about 18m € to Liverpool. Bonuses could be part of the deal.

Your guys where on holidays so it took a little while to make the deal with your people + the Barry deal complicated things. My guess is that they are just waiting for a day to make it official. Could be tomorrow, next week or when Spain win or get eliminated from the Euro tournament.

I read we could get more news on this tomorrow.

I'm still playing back those wicked shots and sweet passes he made today. WOW!

He is definitely NOT finished....you guys would be getting a great player...

Does anyone else find it annoying that we're meant to be competing with Inter in the coming season, but we have Ranieri and they have Mourinho?

Juve have the exact coach that booted out the door quicker than he can say 'tinker' the second Mourinho was available

Also, Lampard has been linked to Juve on and off for Ranieri's tenure, and now he's already in an Inter shirt practically. Plus, were getting Inter/Mourinho's rejects in Stankovic

I'm still stupefied by the fact management is going after Stankovic. I mean way to insult the fan-base by buying an Inter reject. Why don't they just pull down their pants and **** on the Juve fans, because that's basically what they are doing. Secco, Blanc, they need to go. Some horrible dealings in the transfer market so far. Everyone besides Sissoko was a transfer blunder. God I miss Moggi.

Sometimes I fear Juve will be a structural midtable team in 5 years if they keep going on like this. Imagine the team without the old guard... :( I'm not very optimistic.

[EDIT] Time for a new thread? I'm prepared to do it again, but if anyone else wants to do it for a change...

I'll do it if no one else wants to?

Go ahead!

Too bad we only got to 41 pages this season. Even in Serie B we got to 104. :( Hopefully we'll be in for a more exciting season.

keep the faith guys! Don't read the papers. :D

Well I've made the thread, it just needs to be approved by a mod, so looks like this thread has reached its end for now.
