Match Highlights
First and what time does this start?
19.45 UK time
I can’t watch it again. Haven’t seen a single pre season game yet and will probably miss this one aswell. Ohwell in return i will watch every single match this season.
Same, they keep falling at awkward times for me!!
Del Piero has been asked by Hongarian club Honved to play for them. They offered him the number 10 jersey which they retired in honor of their legend Puskas. Their coach apparently played for us when we won the CL in 1996, so he knows Del Piero from that period and they have two other Italian players.
Not sure about him going to ‘Hongary’ lol
lmao. its better than people calling it hungry though lol
They don’t appreciate it, believe me. But how are you supposed to resist asking Hungarians if they are hungry?!
I totally understand it.
Oops. It’s Hongarije in dutch :p
Hongarije hongarije hippos.
One of them Rocchi 😛
And it’s Hungary :p
Changed :p
Not going to happen sadly. Honved’s owner said there’s no chance (money). 🙁 And here I got excited to see him here.
You live in Hungary?
Wouldnt it be funny if they were all starving in Hungary?
Then they should change it to Hungry for real.
Theyre so close to Turkey, though. They should never be hungry.
It wouldn’t be funny.. :c
Yes, I do, I’m Hungarian.
according to rumors, we are trying to sign one of podolski, chicharito, or shaqiri. shaqiri is allegri’s preferred choice and he’s unhappy at bayern but juve are only willing to take him on loan and bayern want 20mil for him. arsenal and utd also want to sell but there’s a greater chance that they’ll accept a loan
Sigh, going seriously for the worst out of the 3 while throwing the best straight in the garbage bin
It´s strange that we pay 20m for Morata (who is promising ofcourse) but not for Shaqiri who has proven himself to be CL worthy.
He’s not worth 20mil.. But then nor was morata (though didn’t he play well in the CL too?)
not really
Last night he was scolded at when playing for Bayern so let him come. If only Marotta would pay for once..
Yeah we can’t even pay 20m for a player.
Great.
starting xi:
storari
licht-bonucci-ogbonna-evra
vidal-pirlo-pogba
marchisio
tevez-giovinco
god i hope we don’t have to see marchisio as a trequartista too much this season. he plays so much better as a cm or dlp
Maybe at some point in the game he’ll switch to the wing. I think he’ll be more comfortable there.
Marchisio on the wing does not work mate 😛 Cant remember the season, 07 or 08, but he did it already and was horrible
Has allegri tried Gio as trequarista yet?
On twitter it’s a 4-3-2-1 with Marchisio and Gio behind Tevez!
Anyone with a link to the match
Also:
Huh O.o
Because theyre practically invisible
Yeah i know but that never really happens.
Thats true, but the name and numbers are horrible, so its not much of a surprise to me
Any idea what they will change it to?
Got my fingers crossed for hot pink
YES
I knew that would get your backing too! haha
Well duh! :p
.
Noo……. and it will probably be black
https://www.frombar.com/20140822/vv53f7aea6b55e58.96973832-875596.html theres a good link for the match
i don’t really care about friendlies but we just got outplayed by a milan team that has been destroyed by teams like olympiacos and valencia this preseason. lol #eraofallegri
every time ogbonna plays i get disappointed somehow. i blame the curse of the black ninja turtle for this loss.
ogbonna, evra, marchisio, and gio have been god awful. i get marchisio is being played out of position but the rest just suck
idk why allegri keeps playing gio, hes getting too much playing time. tevez-llorente needs to be the starting attack.
i wish someone would just come and buy gio and ogbonna already. that should be 20mil right there. then we can invest that properly in the team
theres our money for shaqiri. we have youth strikers who can replace gio, and ogbonna isnt needed anymore, marrone is better.
Calling him a black ninja turtle is hilarious haha.
thats my Halloween costume this year. wonder how many people will get mad?
mid 20s ninja turtle,
mid 20s ninja turtle,
mid 20s ninja turtle,
heroes in a half shell.
TURTLE POWER.
Ogbonna isn’t really scary though.
Ya, well go into your closet and say his name 3 times.
starting XI: Rubinho, Romulo, Caceres, Marrone, Chiellini, Mattiello, Padoin, Asamoah, Pepe, Pereyra, Vitale.
im confused as to what formation this is
god damn padoin. go home.
marrone, padoin, asamoah, pereyra, vitale. 5 midfielders lol. so marrone is in defense, is vitale playing as a striker?
looks like some sort of 4-3-3.
why do coaches insist on playing Marchisio playing behind the strikers? It’s obvious he can’t play there.
However, I was impressed by Pereyra and Romulo
I have no idea either, he plain sucks as trequartista. If they want him to guide the plays, they should use him like Pirlo, in a deep position
Wait what match is it on now and who won the first matches?
Juve – Milan 0-1
Sassuolo – Juve 0-1
Currently in 18th min Milan – Sassuolo 1-0
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand 2-0 😛
Good. now they wont win the scudetto.
Yup 😀 Not that i was scared of Milan in the first place.
Anyone got the highlights for the games?
Padoin scored a hatetrick. I saw that fucker 3 times, now im mad.
Hahaha.
I guess that explains the loss to Milan then!
This guy could defend the world… but not a goal.
made my week dude….
I hope some people with twitter share this picture, and it trends and gets back to Angelo. My life would be complete.
That needs to happen!
Congratiolations on breaking the Juvefc record amount of likes!
I think I broke my own record from way back before Disqus.
Yeah whats it called again, eco something? Some people actually left for the sole reason that we switched to disqus.
Seems Torino are interested in Gio as a replacement for the likely departing Cerci. They may be willing to part with around 8m, but I wouldnt sell him for less than 12m. If he is sold, and we can get rid of some other dead weight (Padoin and Ogbonna), we will have enough to buy someone like Shaqiri. Shaqiri is better than Gio, Marrone can replace Ogbonna and Padoin doesnt matter.
Marotta’s brain doesn’t work like that unfortunately
I think that we should keep Giovinco. He have done very good in pre-season. All he need is to play in the right position. Maybe Allegri can get the best out of him.
he did well against indonesian and australian teams. he was poor yesterday. same as pepe. both need to go
We shouldnt have to sell…
Werent we about to buy Iturbe for around 28 mill?
There was no way we ever offered 28m, if Roma bought him for 22m(24.5m).
I meant where did that money go and why dont we use it for Shaqiri if we are truly interested in him?
I thought roma bought him for 30 mill.
Straight swap. Gio for Cerci. Seems fair
ordered a juve jersey with pirlo at the back last thursday (with yellow colored name) now they are changing the color of the names to black… FUCK!
Im sure they would replace it if you contact them
Think about it how rare your shirt will be!
How much? including delivery here in Manila?
shirt is about 90$ + 30-40$ delivery charge
Oh yes!!!
I’ve been waiting for them to change the color! Couldn’t see Jack shit but a white square on the back on tv.
Please, where did you read that?
https://www.football-italia.net/54832/juventus-scrap-yellow-lettering
Apparently the issue with shaqiri is that bayern want 20mil outright or 2mil for loan+23mil for redemption. Marotta wants to do 2mil for loan+15mil for redemption
when marotta tries the loan option we always lose out on the player. its fucking ridiculous but hopefully we can pull something through
What a dick. 20m outright is a steal, he will be worth 30m+ in 2 seasons. Itd basically be the Morata deal, but wed actually own him completely. And Shaqiri is perfect to play behind Tevez-Llorente.
Seems Strange we would pay 20 for Morata who has proven nothing yet, but not for a class act like Shaqiri.
Apparently allegru is leaning for a 3-5-2 vs chievo with
Buffon
Caceres-marrone-bonucci
Licht-pogba-pirlo-marchisio-evra
Tevez-llorente
Idk why allegri likes evra so much. Asamoah is far far better
What happened to Chiellini and Vidal? I understand the Evra start, it is Chievo after all.
Chiellini is suspended for the first 2 games and vidal isnt 100% yet
Please refresh my memory, what did Chiellini do to get suspended?
Be chiellini
Which Chiellini-like action did he perform this time? 😛
He “elbowed” someone in the face i think.
Oh yeah, I think I remember now. He elbowed Pjanic.
He must have deserved it (A)
It wasnt even elbow. He stuck out his arm and the little bee-otch fell to the ground
He should’v been banned for four months for sticking his should into Suarez’s mouth.
Maybe Pjanic hired Suarez to take revenge on Chiellini. Who better to hire than a known biter?
we tend to struggle in verona. also, this is the season opener. you need to start out strong
At least I dont see Ogbonna’s name in the lineup. It’s all good!
Podolski to Wolfsburg almost a done deal! Thank god.
I agree, but then we should move on. We’re looking for a decent winger for two years now.
True, I hope Marotta signs Shaqiri.
We apparently made a 2.5mil loan bid with the option of 15mil outright for Xherdan.
Not sure bayern would go for it but based on reviews from others on this site he would be a welcome signing
Guardiola seems to have a juve fetish. Maybe he’ll try to convince the bayern board to give us shaqiri for cheap. I bet thats why he’s not playing shaqiri. So shaqiri gets unhappy and we can get him 😛
Let’s hope so, they have a ton of class players who can play on the wing.
Hope we can snatch him, although I think 15 mill isn’t enough. He has proven to be a dangerous winger, I wouldn’t hesitate to spend 20 an him. Then at least we can change tactics once in a while.
Di Maria most likely moving to United for 75 million. A huge transfer like that might make them forget about Vidal. Just one more week, c’mon..
FFP works wonders. That transfer would put them well over 150m for the summer. The idea is to limit the big spenders, so the little guys can compete.
Think you’re right, they need a CB more then Vidal. But then again they can afford both, they’re super loaded. Somehow I hope they’ll get Benatia so Roma is weakened but then again I hate to see class players leave seria a.
So 5 more days for the transfer market to close, and guess how many players we’ve signed that are worthy of Juventus? 0!! (except Coman but he’s too young) It’s incredible. What the fuck is Marotta thinking?
I’d say Morata and Evra too. We didn’t sell a lot either, our starting XI is still complete and we have better subs than the year before.
Most important is that our stars didn’t leave. At the start of the window it looked like Vidal or Pogba, maybe even both, Lichtsteiner due to contract ending issues and Pirlo due to his past with Allegri would all leave, none of them did. I am happy with that, but we have so many idiots still around that needed to be sold.
Is this really happening?
Bayern are willing to give him to us for a 2mil loan but the want 23mil next season while marotta is only willing to give 15mil next season. Watch marotta fuck it up and some other team will steal shaqiri
They only want “23m” next season, because they know they are going to be talked down to 20m at the end of the season. Beppe knows this and just needs to bite the bullet and sign him.
Marotta is such a cheap F’er.Truly pisses me off. Should be slapped with a hot towel multiple times on that bald head of his.
What has marotta been doing this summer? Ogbonna, sorenson, motta, de ceglie, padoin, pepe, and giovinco are still here and theres only a week left to go
Descjamps again admitting that leaving juve was a mistake. He got into a fight with secco. Deschamps believed juve needed 3 world class players instead of 8 average ones. Secco disagreed believing that there was more chance of success with signing more players. Deschamps left, secco got his way, and the rest is history
And the same shit happened with Conte. Not buying the players the coach says he needs results in the coach leaving. Fuck our management, making 2 club legends leave the club like that. And it’s not only those coaches, but numerous players too.
The difference is back then we probabky could’ve afforded them, we’ve barely spent this season showing an obvious lack of funds
Cuz maeotta cant sell for shit
You wouldn’t say that we have a huge company like fiat behind the club.
That lack of funds is BS. I can accept that we cant compete with the asshole rich clubs, but we arent a poor club and should be able to afford a 23 mill player or sanchez for 35 mill.
It was a different management for Deschamps. But yea our management is a dick to club legends
I know. Comes to show how great we are at picking the management. Was Andrea Agnelli around in the Secco years?
I think we should depose Andrea as president and put in a new Agnelli, or a relative. Prince Hubertus of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, a nephew of Umberto Agnelli would be my choice. Guy looks like fun.
pic didn’t show?
The heck. You want that as president?
haha he looks like fun. you gotta be to wear that. He is Mexico’s sole member of their ski team. I dont’t think he considers himself mexican though. He’s lived in europe most of his life.
Coincidentally, allegri’s contract expires in the summer of 2016. Deschamps’s contract expires at the end of euro 16. Lets bring him back beppe
Atletico came with an offer for shaqiri but he rejected them because he wants to come to juve. PLEASE BEPPE PLEASE
Mah nigga.
Beppe needs to man up and spend. Shaqiri is undoubtedly a world class player, and for 25m(2m+23m), hes a steal. He probably wont even be sold for 23m, probably closer to 20m.
World class is a bit strong but he has potential
I think hes there, just hasnt gotten enough playing time with a good squad to show off his true skill.
He’s definitely a good player but his finishing could use working on.
He can’t be considered world class until he’s shown that off though.
Then hes soon to be world class, pending a move to Juve.
Wasnt he one of the best players in the WC?
World class players: Tevéz, Suarez, Ronaldo, Messi, Buffon, Iniesta, Ibra… and Padoin
not Shaqiri, yet…
I dont think he’s world class yet but he can definitely become world class
PLEASE
Source? Who in the hell would want to come play for Allegri? He’s probably waiting for ManU, sadly.
Allegri has a good history to be fair to him, you need to drop the negativity for now, give him a chance.
He doesnt have a good history. Its been alright.
See above..
if all else fails,lets give deschamps a call lol
no, he doesn’t have a good history. I’m more surprised Milan did what they did despite him. I respectfully refuse your offer. He has to win the scudetto, we still have the best team for league play.
Allegri won the Scudetto 2010-2011 at Milan
With what team and against which opponents..
He won coach of the year at cagliari, beating mourinho. Did well at sassuolo, won the title with milan. The only reason he stopped doing well at milan was because they sold his 2 best players and didn’t replace them, if they sold our two best players and didn’t replace them for conte (or any coach for that matter) he would’ve failed to continue doing well too.
it can be argued that ibra carried milan to the title. also, allegri is the only coach who ibra went a season under without winning the title. not to mention, when seedorf came in he said that the fitness levels of the players were terrible. no wonder milan had so many injuries. allegri is a poor man manager. also, he was eventually removed from cagliari due to inconsistent performances. mind you, this is the guy who told milan not to worry when they were down 3-0 at HT. completely devoid of the juve mentality
Good history I don’t agree on, average at best. But give him a chance yeah, though there isn’t much room for discussion here, we have to 😛
Di marzio
Not just Allegri, Juve. And who knows, maybe Shaqiri doesnt even know who Allegri is or his Milan past.
Milan is a huge club, every player knows who Allegri is.
Yeah, every one will know him as one of the clowns who destroyed milan.
Ill mostly blame that mouse face andrea for it if it happens.
I think you’re mistaking him for galliani.
There are people that say they follow football closely, yet they cant name half of Milans starting 11 nor do they know who Allegri is and if they did, they know VERY little of him. So theres a slight possibility that Shaqiri could know nothing of him
If you’re talking about people you know irl i aint suprised. You’re talking about usa then. Every single (professional) player should know Milan and what happens to it.
Well idk. I just assume football players dont have the time to follow football closely
Ofcourse they do lol. They are in the football world the whole day every day. Most are curious what other teams/players perform in case they have to play them. Atleast that’s how i would be.
I meant Juve really, but was afraid to say it lol. I’m so ashamed.
So have any of you guys had to do the ice bucket challenge yet?
Nope, have you?
Yeah had to do it today, bugger I should’ve nominated you! :p
How did it feel
Cold.. Cold and wet
Thats a suprise :p
I didnt take the challenge but my friends still thought it was funny to dump a bucket of ice water on me
I don’t think thats friendship, more bullying haha
Lol. I had it coming. It was my idea to do it to one of them but the guy I told went and decided to do it against me with the person I planned dumping it on. I was betrayed lol
Never trust people lol
Less than a week before the window closes!
I expect some goddamn transfer activity in these last days!
People need to go (Padoin and Ogbonna especially!).
And I want a big signing so I can order this year’s kits!!
Padoin, Motta, PDC, Sorensen, they surely need to go. Ogbonna doesn’t bother me so much, he can be used against lower table teams to give starters some rest
Did someone watched Tottenham – QPR? Im glad Isla and Traore were sold
I’m so happy that QPR is still shit.
Isla wasnt sold. He’s out on loan
FFS MAROTTA GET SHAQIRI
Apparently we’re targetting Podolski. I’m half half on him.
I dont want him
me neither dude
I read he’s going to werden or Wolfsburg
I have no idea what he could potentially offer that we don’t have already..
and what we have?pepe?coman?gio?he is better than all of them no doubt,he could be another pirlo but much younger i believe him
Podolski remains a striker, not a winger. He can play wide left But I have far more faith in Asamoah and Coman than this washed up 29year old.
Another Pirlo? Besides not being the same type or position,he’s nowhere near as good as Pirlo. No, Podolski only has his name from his Bayern days, which are ancient history. He can remain at Arsenal, I expect Coman to become great, with some time
Believe me he is not good enough. Experienced that first hand at arsenal already. Big name but doesn’t add much.
I dont like Podolski ONE bit.
But luckily he’s going to Wolfsburg.
he would be great for us, actualy the best option for the money we have.
Manolas officially to Roma – bye bye Benatia?
Benatia is about to undergo his medicals at Bayern Munich.
He is leaving for only 26M euros. Waaaaay to cheap imo.
Ah I see, thought so much 😛
It is a defender, they don’t cost so much, I think it’s a fair price.. Maybe not if you compare to David Luiz, who is less good and cost more but oh well
I think Benatia wanted to leave haha
at this rate we are gonna end up with torres from chelsea
If he goes back to the way he was in his early Liverpool days that could be a brilliant deal, every time i watch him he always seems to do fantastic up until the finish, it’s just a shame he’s lost his finishing touch but who knows, he may rediscover it? Oh who am I kidding? He won’t rediscover it!
lol…your right though!..if he can do what he did at liverpool…we are quids in!!!!..but if he does this chelsea form….forget it.you make me laugh dude….oh who am i kidding lol.
Its nice to try to be positive.. But with him? It’s just not possible!
i know.Keep hearing these falcao rumours….loan deal on?but his wages?????
I don’t want to be the club who keeps real madrids place warm, he either signs for us permanently or he can bugger off
we have been linked with quality on a few players,we just dont seem to have the killer buys like other clubs are getting.We were unlucky with morata getting injured,im hoping this isn’t a sign of things to come for him and us!… I like mandzukic and negredo,them kind of strikers lol.
Did you realize that in his Liverpool days he was top 3 for the Ballon D’Or. I completely forgot about that and it makes me feel sad seeing his downfall…
Wenger has came out and said that podolski is staying were he is , this can only be good news for us.
great so we can end up with abel hernandez huh?14 goal for palermo last season, just wonderfull. wow., i wont get ur stupidity
What are you talking about , sure podolski only scored 19 goals in the league in the last 2 or 3 years and by the look of it theres alot of others that dont want him either, i said it was good news because we have been heavily linked with Shaquiri and i would rather him than podolski. wow., i wont get ur stupidity
we are heavily linked with shaquiri?some english roumors? lol, u gotta stop dreaming when u take who the CEO is. Marotta will never buy Shaq, forget it mate. yes he scored 19 goals in 53 apps, but it was fucking arsenal , they change line up like i do with socks, every fucking day,he can be usefull i bet on it.
You just contradicted yourself, twice. We ARE heavily linked to him. Marotta just needs to focus both his eyes on Shaqiri´s quality.
”it was fucking Arsenal” What’s that suppose to mean? Because it’s Arsenal it doesn’t matter how shit his stats are? Believe me, as an active Arsenal follower i can assure you Podolski will add nothing but his name to our squad, just like he did at Arsenal. Once every 5 matches maybe he did something useful.
Wow, why such a personal attack dude?
Giroud got injured for a couple of months while Podolski was about to leave. I bet they had to beg him to stay 😛
god damn it Marotta, just give Bayern the money for Shaquiri
So Benatia to Bayern is official, too bad they didn’t need Shaqiri money to make it happen. If we could get him the mercato would be a succes for me. So far we only signed to increase the depth of our squad, which is disappointing.
Dude if we don’t get Shaqiri Marotta needs to be replaced. We don’t have any competitors as Liverpool filled their Suarez void with Balotelli…
he should be replaced a year ago, at least year.
Balotelli doesn’t fill the hole that Suarez left lol….. Suarez is 100 times the player Balotelli is.
LMAO so I just read online that Juve is making a big push to sign Falcao before the transfer window closes while AC Milan will try to get Torres.
I’d rather have Shaqiri over Falcao.
If falcao was a permanent signing then hell no.
Thats what I thought too, if it’s permanent I’ll take him, fuck yes. But both would be heaven
Thats an idea, we can sacrifice you to the gods and then they will help those two transfers go through
I’ll just pretend I never read this, my precious skin isn’t ready to be sacrificed just yet 😛
Ah even better, an unwilling sacrifice, the gods may throw in el shaarawy and de sciglio now! :p
xD
What, no Balotelli or Rossi? Immobile?
Surely this sacrifice can generate some more than this!
If I fry I at least want to console myself with the idea of great players going to Juve!:p
Falcao is no less than 45mil, I don’t remember the last time we spent 45mil in a single mercato, let alone a single player.
buffon, but thats because hes buffon
51mil for gigi. our most expensive signing ever. 13 years ago and that 51mil is still paying off
And still the most expensive goalkeeper ever, those sure were the days..
I’m actually proud of Buffon being our most expensive player and ”only” 51 million. Fuck this market.
Well yeah besides buffon maybe nedved but I think that’s about it.
Wed take him on a season loan for cheap and pay part of his 10m wages, so for 10-12m we get Falcao for one season. Falcao for 1 season is probably worth 20m to any club in sponsorships, endorsements and jersey sales.
Agnelli would really shine there. Falcao bobble head, action figure, Falcao and the Crystal Soccer Ball for PS4, falcao apparel (including socks and undies). I think it would be a great business.
Official: Di Maria joins Manchester United and Benatia joins Bayern Munich.
Must be nice to not have to worry about FFP. I couldnt imagine Juve spending 150m+ in one transfer window. Im almost certain FFP doesnt apply to Man Utd, Chelsea, Man City, Barca, Real or PSG.
exception clause inside the FFP ruling. Unless FIFA earns much from your club, exception applies
But City and PSG were fined recently 😛
If you have the money just break the rules and pay the fine.. FFP is just a way of allowing fifa to accept bribes, great..
Are they not getting transfer bans and stuff like that? I’m not sure, just a fine is hardly enough to call it a worthy system..
Not that I’ve heard.. Barca got a nice ban though.. Just after they’d signed enough players to hold them over for the ban
Meh, I thought there would be more to it than just a fine, how is this a punishment for rich teams, they while their asses with money, what do they care about some fine.
Barca bribed FIFA into changing their suspension, so that they could buy new players this window, and compete in La Liga and Europe. If Barca actually had to serve their 1 year ban this season, they would have a shit GK and shit defense and no suarez. Cheating at its finest, by none other than the biggest cheats in all of world football.
Yeah now that you mention this, this is one of the biggest injustices I’ve seen in football. Get punished for wrongdoing and then the punishment is moved because it doesn’t suit you very well? Fuck logic
Serie A looses another talent
Apparently we’re more interested in Hernandez than Shaqiri
Just kill me now
I don’t believe a word from this, we won’t sign abel hernandez, not even Juve management is doing that..right? pretty please..
so apparently atletico have come back with an offer for shaqiri and shaqiri has put them off because we are his first choice but if nothing happens with us he’s willing to accept atletico’s offer. fuck you marotta
Does anyone here also have some doubts on Chielleni’s performance last season and the World Cup? He seems to be not the same Chielleni that we have 2-3 years ago.
he cost us the final in the euro against spain ……..
I wouldnt go that far… Hes a top 10 CB, hes just not the most agile person in the world.
do you think he is just too tired? imagine, playing almost every week. Training everyday.
No, he’s a professional athlete.
Exactly……….. Jesus man you give them millions to be able to train every day and play every week and people are still worried about them getting tired, how must NBA and NHL players feel then when they play 2-3-4 times a week?
dude, NHL players are the toughest dudes out there. I have great respect for those guys. Play about 3 times a week and take absolute beatings every game.
I would give alot for that kinda life man..
By getting an early injury or what?
How? He had been carrying an injury throughout the tournament and he got injured again like 10min into the final
You’re mistaking him with the referee and Spain injuring out players.
Not really, no.
Roma just lost their best shot at winning the scudetto. Stupid to let Benatia go. O well, better for us.
Serie A prediction:
Juve
Napoli
Roma
Fiorentina
Inter
AC
Lazio
napoli are shit. they’ll just get third again. lazio have done well though. i think they can finish above ac and inter
Somehow I doubt we’ll win it again, I mean 4times in a row would be exceptional, even though I think we still have the strongest squad in Serie A overall
I think that Inter will end within top 3 this year. They’ve made some serious business. Selling a lot of shit players and getting some quality replacements. As much as I hate to say this…
Besides Medel I’m not sure who they brought in this season, but the way I see it is they have a meagre strike force, only Icardi and Obi Wan Palacio?
Pretty sure I’m missing someone here, but can’t be bothered to research into the merda squad
You know the term keep your friends close but your enemies closer? Haha, let me refresh the situation at Inter for you :p
Besides Medel they’ve brought in M’Vila for the midfield too. A 24 year old promising guy!
Also they’ve gotten rid of Schelotto and Botta too.
Then they’ve picked up Vidic and Dodó for the defence. We all know Vidic and Dodó did great for Roma last season and havde done very great in Inter’s preseason.
And of course. They got Osvaldo for the attack! And I actually believe he can be lethal for those basterds.
All those signings mixed with the fact that they’ve managed to keep Kovacic and Icardi seems like a pretty great summer for Inter.
+ they’re in pole position to sign Lavezzi.
Meh so they really do have a crap attack, if Osvaldo is to be seen as an actual improvement 😛
M’Vila I hear is pretty good but I don’t know the guy at all to be honest. Vidic and Dodo, let’s wait and see.
Top 5 yeah, I see them reach that, but I would very much prefer to see them out of CL again 😛
No problem bro. We’re here to discuss football. :p
But I have that feeling of my stomach turning that Inter will be our main competitor this season. We’ll just have to wait and see!
Exactly! 😛
Yeah you never know, nobody expected Roma to be this strong last season either right!
What I want to see happen within the week has ended:
Juve sign Insigne
Juve sign Shaqiri
Juve sign Falcao on loan
Juve sell Ogbonna
Juve sign Savic
Come on, is that too much to ask? Lol
And oh. How could I forget. Sell Padoin, Pepe, Sørensen, Motta and De Ceglie
Oh is it only that? 😛
My wish list is just as realistic
Juve win Champions League
Juve win Serie A
Juve win Coppa Italia
Inter give back our stolen Scudetto
Del Piero gets magically rejuvenated, is 20 again and comes back to Juve to shine for another 15seasons minimum
I like my list better 😛
Yeah… Optimism never hurts, haha 😛
Worth trying! 😛 But pretty much agree with your comment, tho it’s very unlikely to happen 😛
lol you get to pick between two things. $50 million dollars tax free for your bank account or Del Piero rejuvenated to the time he bagan his career so he can do it all over again. I think the choice is clear. I can live off food stamps lol
You’ll have to share them with me mate 😛
I’m with you on insigne 100%
Which idiot would pay 5mill for Padoin? Oh wait..xD
I like the prices for outgoing players, but I doubt we’ll get anything near them 🙁
6mil for pepe, who hasn’t played in 2 years.. Yeah I think he is being over optimistic on prices
Yeah, that’s what I meant 😛 He’s a dinosaur with fitness issues, who pays that for him? Same for most of them, Motta and Ogbonna are realistic, but I don’t necessarily want Ogbonna out.
I don’t want us to sell ogbonna, he’s got loads of potential and was brilliant before signing for us so I think he deserves another chance.
Yeah exactly. Especially since I doubt Barzagli will be here much longer and I just don’t want Caceres as a CB but a wingback, I don’t see a need to sell him.
All I want is to sell dead wood, Padoin and his likes just MUST go. They only drag us down
The only reason I’d sell Ogbonna is if it would mean we could get a star, say Shaqiri instead. Then I sell him in a heartbeat
Caceres isn’t capable as a CB, though in a season we may just be bringing back one of the best young CBs in Europe (assuming he continues his form into serie a) however we need a few top class CBs and ogbonna can be a top class player on his day.
At least Allegri (or at least i hope) won’t have the padoin fetish so he will be gone by January i hope.
I’ve barely seen shaqiri play but if he was as good as people here are saying im sure he’d be getting more playing time at bayern, however sometimes players just aren’t suited to certain teams so based on reviews and his Swiss form I’d love to have him but I don’t think we need to sell to buy him and if we do it should be through true dead weight and if a defender must go it should be caceres.
I don’t mean to start the whole Caceres thing with you 😛 I agree he shouldn’t play CB but he’s not a disaster there, just not up to the task against real top teams. Are you referring to Masi or who do you mean?
Padoin should be gone now or in January, I don’t see any reason for Allegri to play him against anyone, with Romulo the new and better (younger too) utility guy.. Even tho he played him quite much in the friendlies.
Shaqiri was great at the World Cup and well he doesn’t get to play at Bayern cause he has Robben and Ribery there 😛 At least I think that’s the reason. He would be an awesome addition to the team though, he is a class act
He is a disaster there, the number of times he gets bailed out is ridiculous! I was referring to Rugani.
Yeah but motta played in quite a few friendlies last season then never played so that means nothing.
3 players for 2 positions should mean he gets a lot more playing time than he does though..
Oh yeah, I expect much from Rugani as well.
Exactly, shouldn’t mean a thing
I dunno what’s wrong that he doesn’t play so much, there must be some reason for it. Maybe he doesn’t fit Guardiola or something. In any case, his talent is undeniable
I’m on the complete opposite site of you on the Ogbonna-Cáceres stand.
I absolutely adore Caceres and id much rather see Barzagli and Ogbonna leave before him.
Caceres just isn’t good enough, I understand he’s likeable but people need to get past that and see he’s not of juventus standard.
You cant sell caceres unless you get a too good of an offer for him. His versatility is too important. We allknow you hate him but you cant deny he’s a solid player. When he got a run of many consecutive games last season, he started putting in some really good performances. Of course you cant expect him to perform to his ability if you bench him for 5 games and play him 1. But thats another reason as to why we should keep caceres. He accepts his role in the team and doesnt complain. Nor does he try to sign a bigger contract.
Pepe is still a good player, but ok I might have overshot it just a bit considering his lack of game time. But in the range of 4-5 would only be a fair price imo.
It’s just an estimate guys, haha. I’m no guru in selling players lol.
But I think that it sounds plausible.
I know dude, just going with it! 😛
Padoin and Pepe are really pricey, especially considering we have Marotta to make the deal, we’ll never get this much for those two. PDC and Sorensen same thing, but should be more achievable..
If we could sell the dead weight I’d be happy already
Considering the prices that are going on in this inflated market it should very much be possible but maybe only outside of Italy.
I just hope that we get rid of them all in time.
Inflated prices only go for hyped players though, they are not exactly hyped 😛
Pepe should be able to go for around 4mill, for Padoin 2mill should do it already I think.
Italian players don’t shine as bright as they used to now, even the most promising Italians are sold for laughable prices, imho
The main problem for us is Marotta though. He can’t sell, simple as that. He’s too cheap to spend and he can’t sell a player. He has a good eye (no puns intended ;D) for youngsters and free agents (or bargain buys like Tevez) but thats all there is to say about Marotta
Insigne said he would never play to juve. Also, napoli would never sell him to us
He said that to make his bosses happy.
That’s all our dream but it will most likely end up like this:
Juve sell Vidal (50m)
My cousin wrote an article on his new blog and he has a poll also. Definitely worth reading. Answer the poll too.
https://juventusmatters.wordpress.com/2014/08/27/manning-the-midfield/
Sources claim Vidal have agreed terms with United. But they still need to reach an agreement with Juve.
His agents was in Manchester yesterday…. Is this a goodbye? Or more bs?
his agent said there has been no contact with man u since the world cup.
so looks like more bs. also I cant see us selling Vidal at this point unless we get an absolutely ridiculous offer
Really impressed with lazio’s team right now. If they can keep their star players, watch for them to be surprise contenders for the scudetto
they won’t compete for the scudetto but they’ll definitely do well this season. they could even be outsiders for the CL if they sign vlaar
Theyll probably do well towards the beginning and lose their pace
looks like napoli are CL goners now…3-1 bilbao.
Losers…
Oh well, more money for us
Its not like morrata is going to spend it anyways lolllll
Vidal might leave as he’s agreed personal terms with Utd.
that’s bs
Indeed. Some papers write it so it must be true. United have just spend 75 million on Di Maria and i think Van Gaal has said he’s done.
What a great summer as a Juve and Italy fan.
1. Conte leaves
2. Allegri’s hired
3. No proper signing to strengthen team
4. Vidal very close to leaving
5. Napoli fail in CL qualification. Only 2 Italian teams.
6.Italy didn’t get out of the group at the world cup.
Ill add that.
napoli failing is good for us. we’ll make about 12mil more in the CL
Good for us now but in the future when we end up with 2 spots we’d regret it.
there’s still quite a way to go for that.
Portugal has caught up to us already. France and Russia are on their way. Depressing, eh?
https://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/uefarankings/country/
meh. it’s not our fault the rest of the league doesn’t give a crap about the EL. if they do, we won’t lose another spot, they league as a whole will get stronger, and eventually italy will get back the 4th spot
It is our fault. Last season we were 6 points ahead of Portugal until Juve and Napoli got knocked out of the groups and Juve got kicked out by Benfica. We should have won that game but we chose to play like shit over the two legs.
I honestly doubt that TBH. Germany is a solid 15 points ahead of us. No way we can catch up.
we got kicked out by benfica but you can’t say we didn’t care about the EL. also, when was the last time an italian team reached the SF of a european competition? we were disappointing but we cared about it. other teams don’t even care
We will never get passed by France or Russia, but serie a has shot themselves in te foot. It will be 10 long years before we catch back up to Germany.
In ten years Serie A will be like the Eredivisie; just less exciting.
You’re very optimistic. 2 of the 6 haven’t even happened yet and i doubt both us and Roma will fail to get out of the group stages.
so we’ll make 8.7mil more from napoli’s elimination. roma get more than we do for some reason
But serie a loses coefficient points. Napoli better win the Europa legue now they have no excuses.
Why are all the comment sections on all the sites showing 2 hours ago for new comments??? Goal.com and Disqus are both doing it. Weird….
Because its been 2 hour since the comments were made
what group do you want us to be drawn into tomorrow? i really want us to arsenal and/or levurkusen. but with allegri, we’ll prbly get barca lol
Dude if it’s Barca I’d sack Allegri next summer so we don’t end up with Barca again.
Well actually, I’d sack Allegri next summer no matter what.
Worst A, Worst C, Worst D would be fine with me.
teams we couldnt beat last year? well ok, i guess.
LOL that’s true. It’s funny how we couldn’t beat the worst of each tier.
Revenge is a bitch. We will crush those teams, Benifca got lucky and Gala basically cheated.
I hope we play Galatasaray again, I want to play those pricks again.
Worst case scenario we get Bayern, Liverpool and Monaco.
But I’m hoping Benfica/Real Madrid, CSKA Moscow and Malmö FF
Italian teams are so unlucky when it comes to Europe. On paper Napoli should’ve won by at least 2 goals aggregate. Their team is stacked compared to Bilbao baggins.
Fuck it then.
We get more money from it at least.
Let’s hope they at least do well in Europa League,it gives the same points as CL anyway.
Who knows, might be a blessing in disguise
Screw napoli man. They should have easily won this.
inter have loaned alvarez to sunderland and are looking to shaqiri as his replacement. fuck off marotta. seriously.
I’ve heard that they looked to offload Alvarez and another player to make room for Lavezzi.. Well dang
Shaqiri must have heard terrible stories about inter he wont join them.
Hoping Juve to face Malmö FF
Why would you wish that??!!! we do so badly against small teams. I know its cause you want to go to a match, but I hope not. We would tie both games. Malmos second goal was nice.
I’ve had it with losing points to small Scandinavian teams! 😛
and we are facing Malmo 😛
