or maybe i'm just half-blind?

 

[bianconeri6]

the white jersy is the keeper jersy

and i guess you could say it is a tight fit, yea/

 

[Juventino]

That doesnt look exactly tight like the Roma jerseys. Depends on what size you prefer I think.... a good fit or a size bigger. The Roma jerseys are made of another fabric. Like the Italy kits from Euro 2000 and WC 2002.

Juventus target ‘free’ Pires
Sunday 24 July, 2005
Juventus are ready to hand Robert Pires a three-year contract if they can tempt Arsenal to release him on a free transfer.

Reports in Italy on Sunday suggest that the winger is wanted by the Bianconeri just weeks after his countryman, Patrick Vieira, made the same switch.

Pires has just one-year left on his Highbury contract and talks regarding a renewal have stalled.

The winger would like a new two-year deal but the Premiership outfit are only ready to offer him a one-year extension.

That has alerted Juventus who would welcome the 31-year-old but only if no transfer fee is involved.

Turkish giants Galatasaray have also been linked recently, but Pires’ agent insists the Turkish giants are not an option even if he has tellingly left the door open for the Old Lady.

Should Pires, who has spent the last five years at Arsenal, arrive then that may spell the end of Mauro Camoranesi in Turin.

He’s been linked with a switch to Inter, seeing their difficulties in landing Real’s Luis Figo, in a possible swap deal with Dejan Stankovic.



Camo? It would be the end of Olivera(loan) for me. Camo is too great to let go now.

Let's take Pirès only if he's free.

 

[santino]

selling camo would be the single dumbest move juve could ever make....especially if it's for stankovic, who after leaving lazio has just lost every bit of ability he had.

 

[bianconeri6]

that would be dumb, to say the least, to sell camo.

if pires comes the most that he could do in my eyes is fight for the spot, but never gain the position fully.
this is the reason we would not spend money on him.

 

[Yossarian]

I like the Argentinian leftover and it'd be tempting with the monstrous season as a provider he had last year, but I still wouldn't trade him for Stanko. We can't bail on him just because of the rut he's been going through as of late. He's younger, more versatile and a more dangerous threat in and around the box because of his sweet shot.


We still have VdM and Ze Maria who can operate from his position sufficiently.

A season or two ago a lot of Juve fans weren't too impressed with him, the club itself was said to be shopping him around and now you're all scoffing at a Stank/Camo exchange........hurhurhur....you gotta be kidding me, man. What is he, Maradona all of a sudden or something?

Stanko stil is > Camo.

 

[theo]

Clau, if you finished your exams (hope you had good results) can you make that Juve compilation you said you'll make with all of Juve's goals? If you can't find some goals just ask for them and I'll search them.

 

[Mikey]

there's nothing to the Camo/Stanko swap, it was channel4 just trying to be cute.

Im with Yoss though, last summer the roles were reversed as Camo (especially after disastrous Euro performance) wasnt the popular player at Juve.

Cassano no longer vice-captain
Newly-appointed Roma boss Luciano Spalletti has relieved enigmatic star Antonio Cassano from the club's vice-captaincy role.

The young attacking midfielder, regularly linked with a move away from the Olimpico this northern summer, will be replaced by senior squad striker Vincenzo Montella as the fill-in for Azzurri playmaker Francesco Totti should he be out injured, suspended or rested.

Cassano's short career has seen him fall out with all his coaches at both club and national level, and many have speculated this or an upcoming transfer to be the reason for Spalletti's drastic move.

"When deciding who is captain, you have to factor in the number of appearances for the club, the value of the player and his behaviour," said Spalletti.

"I really don’t think this discussion should be widened because I have used a normal criteria in making this decision."

"Cassano asked me for the reasons and I think he has accepted them. This is something normal."

Cassano is currently being targeted by Serie A champions Juventus.

 

[Mikey]

Cassano to Juve in January for a cut fee when transfer ban is possibly taken away.


Spaletti is an idiot for doing this.

 

[tottiiii]

Spaletti is an idiot for doing this.

yeah, and your smart cause you think Cassano should be vice-captain.

 

[Mikey]

if Roma has any plans of keeping Cassano than what does this do other than make a traditionally disruptive player even more unsettled?

Who even cares about vice captain anyways, thats why this is stupid that they'd make this announcement public to create more attention to the situation.

 

[modena_10]

i agree, who cares if cassano has been demoted. i bet he really doesnt care. spaletti did say he thinks cassano accepted his reasons, and i think he has, but you can make what you want of it.

i also believe this is a classic case of press bull****. in an interview spaletti was probably asked about the vice-captaincy or something of that nature. im pretty sure he didnt just call a press conference to annouce that he demoted cassano, but again, make what you want of it. but if they did, then i agree with mikey, the dropped the ball.

and finally, with roma's ban in a full effect, there really isnt much news coming from the roma camp in the middle of the transfer season (beside some training and totti saying to the press he thinks they can win lo scudetto), so the press will report anything, especially on cassano

Del Piero on the offensive
Monday 25 July, 2005
Alessandro Del Piero has defended his use as a right-sided attacker in Juventus’ pre-season friendlies so far.

Boss Fabio Capello is testing two systems, a standard 4-4-2 with a strike-force of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and David Trezeguet, plus a 4-3-3 consisting of Del Piero, Marcelo Zalayeta and Adrian Mutu.

"We are here to try out new things," responded the captain when asked about playing with a trident attack.

"The Coach has so far decided to split Juventus into two, giving us a half each. We’ll see what happens when the season starts…"

However, the Italian media are already speculating that Del Piero’s role in the side is again in question, seeing his omission from the 4-4-2 system – one that will probably be used in the new campaign.

Capello refused to be drawn into any controversy though. "He asked me to try him out on the right, which then allows him to drift into the centre," said the tactician.

"Both Del Piero and Mutu are doing very well. They are working very hard."

The other players in the squad are also happy with the development of the new 4-3-3 formation.

"It can be an extra weapon for us," says Trezeguet. "We want to win everything and it is only right that we try out things now.

"As far as I’m concerned, I have started the season well by scoring goals which have helped with my morale."

Trezeguet netted in the 1-0 win over Standard Liege at the weekend and during the 2-1 defeat to Milan last week.

One player who has embraced the experiment with open arms is Mutu. "I played in the same way at Parma, a role which saw my name recognised across Europe," he stated.

on that DP article...wow the press are really desperate


Oddo Linked In Juve Double Trade
Lazio are reportedly considering a Juventus offer that would see both Manuele Blasi and Alessandro Birindelli play at the Olimpico next season.

Juve are known to be searching for a quality alternative to Jonathan Zebina at right back – in what proved a problem position when the frenchman was not available last term

The Old Lady has many seemingly surplus stars on her books, and they have been keen on the pacy ex-Verona player over the last couple of seasons.

Blasi is allegedly looking to move, at least on loan, to re-ignite any lingering hopes of making the Azzurri World Cup squad – something that is highly unlikely should he play back-up to the Emerson-Vieira axis in the forthcoming season. The feisty midfielder is also a Roman, and was close to a Roma switch before he went to Juventus.

If a right back were recruited by the Bianconeri, it would certainly mean the end for Birindelli, so the prospect of both players being inserted into the deal makes sense.

Should Blasi depart, Juve would look to bring in central midfield cover as only new-signing Giuliano Gianichedda would remain as back-up, and a move for Inter’s Cristiano Zanetti or Reggina's Mozart would be probable.

 

[Mikey]

good deal for both clubs and all players involved.

Maybe this move could get Oddo more 'exposure' and the starting RB spot for Italy

At the end it says the only cover would Giannichedda, but what about Tacchinardi and Tudor?

 

[santino]

by not saying tacch or tudor the press can now create new stories about those two and who they could be sold too.

 

[Mikey]

I dont even get why theyd need to sign a replacement. do they really need 4 class defensive midfielders? After RB, their only real "weakness" is depth in attacking midfield and even that could be easily fixed if Zambrotta or Chiellini were pushed forward.
