Do we want D'Agostino?

I'd say maybe, he sure is a good player, and has done well in his new Pirlo-role for Udinese, also included in the national team lately too. Everything points to Ferrara using 3 midfielders behind Diego and the strikers, and thats were D'Ago comes in. He could play in the middle, with Sissoko and Marchisio just by his side, and considering the miserable players we currently have in the form of Tiago, Poulsen and Zanetti, he sure is an improvement, maybe not a BIG improvement but with Diego already bought, i'd say that'll do it for the midfield.

Juventus transfers 2009/2010 season

IN:
Cannavaro (free, Real Madrid)
Diego (25m euro, Werder Bremen)

OUT:
De Ceglie (4.5m euro Napoli)
Mellberg (3m euro Olympiakos)

Serie A clean-up!


Kaka officially removed, Ibrahimovic next!

Yeah what a great gift for Juve, two of the most important players in the league is leaving, im already hearing critics say this only proves the poor condition Italian football is in, but you know what, its just a blessing!!. No it's time for some fresh blood, room for new stars, and new times, as statistics has showed us for decades Italian football is the strongest and most succesfull in the world.
Since 2000, two english teams have won CL, two Italian wins, and two Spanish also... and so the story goes. Well let's just hope this price record doesn't start a new trend, because if you ask me, its totally crazy to pay 65m euro for a player, but Real have done it before, so as they wish.

to sum it up: Kaka out, Diego in!, cheers

Ferrara for Juve coach

I think everything is in favor for Ferrara to be appointed as the permanent coach. I personally don't know who i prefer between Conte and him, but both was great dedicated players with a lot of influence, Conte has something to show already as a coach. But Ciro Ferrara is already at Juventus, something that makes it more natural to leave it that way.

Ferrara has played lot's of years under Lippi, plus working together at the national side, you can't get a better "school", he was a great defender and is instantly accepted by the fans. His two matches so far couldn't have gone any better, and if you ask me, he is a worthy man to continue, ....when you can't get Lippi or Capello, then make a new great coach from the start, and this is the time to do it, Ferrara can turn out to be that new one!

stuck with Nedved forever

Money talks every late season, and Nedved is set to be offered yet another extension to his contract, sticking true to the tradition.
But I rather think the board fools themselves, in lack of having the skills or the "money" to get a decent younger player to replace him. And for sure, with Del Piero, Nedved and Diego..... forget Giovinco he will be gone just like Palladino in true italian style, youngsters don't have a chance!. A mistake waiting to happen, and waiting to regret on.

Back in business!

Great start from Ciro Ferrara, it was really great to watch a game without Molinaro, Marchionni and even Grygera. This coach knows the game, he's been under Lippi for a long time too, and to see the "cynical" style after the two goal lead was wonderfull, you have to play with your head to win, and also be able to play through the middle, something who was a unknown word for Ranieri.

Forza Juve, 2'nd place still in reach!

Why Spalletti?

Not to rush things through, we should be happy to have gotten rid of CR, but why does so many including Elkann want Luciano Spalletti?. If you ask me he is in the same category as Ranieri is, a coach who almost wins, close, but just not close enough. He's proved nothing, he has won nothing! and still he is preferred?, sounds like another brick into a puzzle without winning mentality.

Why not gamble on Ferrara or Conte, they know the jersey, they know the game, they might even take a "pep guardiola", or what about Benitez or Rijkaard?. Because in my opinion Spalletti is even a bigger gamble, sure he might turn out to do well, and he sure will, but well is just well, we don't need that, we dont need another second place or a CL semi-final, we need trophies. All or nothing.
