Juventus has made significant strides in improving their squad this summer ahead of the new season.
The Bianconeri already have some of the best players in the league and have added more quality to their ranks, aiming to make the squad even stronger.
Thiago Motta will begin his tenure with a team that should be well-equipped to challenge for trophies, and more stars are expected to join Juve.
Last season, Juve did not have European commitments and aimed to win Serie A but fell short. Despite showing promise at times and having a squad that fans believed was strong, the team could only secure the Coppa Italia. Max Allegri was sacked as manager before the season ended.
Motta is expected to improve Juve in every department, but has the squad been strengthened enough to surpass last season’s performance?
A poll of Juve fans, as reported by Tuttomercatoweb, reveals that the majority of supporters do not believe the team is stronger than last year. According to the report, 49% think the team is stronger, while the rest believe it is either at the same level or weaker.
Juve FC Says
We have done some good business, but we cannot judge the strength of the team until we see them play when the campaign begins.
Juventus need to keep Chiesa and buy a fast quality winger who can score goals too.
It might just end up being the case. He will go to merda on a free though next season which is annoying. I think that porto guy we were looking at is still on the cards he looked pretty good. Conceicao.
Unless more quality players are signed I don’t think there’s has been much improvement except for the coach which for now is still a risk. Besides I don’t understand Juventus pre season schedule. At this point other top clubs have played at least 3 quality friendly match while Juve has played just one game
Yeah but look at the panic after one loss! I think next season yes they’re should be tougher and many more tests, but for now I think we need to get used to Motta’s style gradually, but I also understand there’s only two weeks left!! Mid season for me, I’m going to look and see how we are going to be at our best, and a vital picture of how good the players are. As for friendlies, being mediocre for three seasons and not in Europe last year hurt us but we are back, baby! (Potentially)
Replace Chiesa( 2 slow and whinger) and buy two top wingers.
Need an anchor as Pogba, pass, controlling the pace, dribbling forward and scoring.
Both seem impossible.
I think there are some porto wingers we are/were looking at on a loan to buy that were excellent. We will see!
Chiesa is still the fastest player in Juve Squad if you cross out Illing Senior
I will hold my opinion until perhaps before mid-season. I wish Motta to stay in Bologna because I want our Serie A teams to do well in Europe this season and I always want someone else for the coach position but I am just a fan. I will not expect anything spectacular this season, it’s not possible, this team is not going to challenge for the Scudetto or anything else, except perhaps Coppa. They are selling too fast, dragged in for too long with this ridiculous Koopmeiners saga, and now the squad depth is at serious risk. They also could handle the issues with senior players better, like Tek, when they replace them. But since they kick ADP out like trash, I know this English-wannabe football club company is not capable of that level of class.
I really think we should give the gaffer some time, I think its way too fast to judge, I really think the more we lose the more we know our weak point before the pre-season start, its way better than our weak point show up in mid campaigns like last seasons.
Agreed 100%. The panicking I saw at a preseason loss, the first against and actual team playing a new style, is crazy. It will take a few games to get used to the new philosophy and the full squad isn’t even there or finished yet. You also need to learn how to lose and have the mental fortitude to get back to on your feet.
They know fear football and unworkable formations are out,right? That is an improvement all round. As for the players and coach I will probably say it’s not until quarter season until we know how it can be and half way through at it’s very best, although there’s no reason to give him less than two seasons. I know a lot of people will say he cost us Cala, but I think Bologna were selling him overseas no matter what. I would have wished our ins and outs were sorted quicker, but I’m not a businessman so not sure how it works in real life. There have been some great additions and if we had got Adeyemi too it would have been much better (I still remember Boksic and his pace) but trouble in getting rid of so many hangers-on because someone in the club liked them and through that potential lack of funds is the same a lot of clubs have these days. With so many Italian clubs and back in Europe this season, we can only raise our level faster. Forza Juve!
The team has no doubtly improved getting rid of dead wood with more to come while getting Luiz and Kephrem so far. A lot of players still have to be sorted out in attack both in and outgoing. This will be of importance for our chances next year. If Koop comes we will have a gread midfield with good depth. The Guintoli project has also improved getting a coach who aligns with his values and visions. In terms of results, expecting trophies this year is unrealistic. We are maybe 3 best in the league. The competition will be hard. As long as there is overall improvement in play and off the pitch and as long as we place within top 4, this season will be sucesfull enough. However, the goal should be to win the Scudetto within 3 seasons while gradually improving our position in Europe.
I hoped for Italiano.
Now I have to hope Motta will do it.
Allegri is not a coach anymore. That makes us better immediately.
I hoped for Calafiori, but it is what it is. I hope things work out with Chiesa, and I’m sure we’ll be fine (at least better than last season). I just hope I’ll be able to watch some football this season and not that annoying crap that Allegri served week in and out.
