It’s time for yet another birthday at Juventus. This time it is Antonio Chimenti’s turn to celebrate. The goalkeeper from Puglia turned 39 and is about to embark on yet another season as a professional, the 6th for Juventus.

According to reports, the D’Agostino deal has broken down on account of Poulsen’s unwillingness to live in Turkey… well sort of. The Turkish giants offered Juventus €7.5 million for the Danish international and another €4.5 million a year for four years as the player’s salary. However the defensive midfielder turned it down. While he’ll only [...]

So this is the week when the teams start to resolve co-ownership or exercise contractual options, or else it goes to the envelopes, in which case we hire Moggi as a consultant for the week. Deals resolved thus far this week after the jump.

First of all my heart goes out to those of you who’ve been waiting awhile for this piece.

Their admiration for this [...]

Love him or hate him, Cannavaro is about to equal Maldini’s record of Italy caps. Tonight though they’re in tough with Brazil since they need to beat them by two goals to qualify for the semi-finals. Fucking Azzurri, why do they always have to make it so hard for themselves?
So Long, Viking Warrior!

I never saw this coming, no doubt. The crystal ball failed me on this one, you’ll notice there was no mention of Olof Mellberg leaving Juve in the departures post, though I did mention his name when I said I expected a right-back to leave. After a mixed year in Turin, it seems the suits [...]
The D’Agostino Deal
By: alessio | 104 Comments
Everyone thought, myself included, that Diego would be the dragged-out mercato aim of this summer. Given his price, Bremen’s reluctance to let him go, and Secco’s past with Amauri, I figured negotiations would go on endlessly and eventually result in us overpaying or signing Taddei as his substitute.

So we’ve done a post on the possible arrivals at Juventus this mercato. As part of the season review, Martin of the Arsenal Offside did a list of players who are likely to depart the team. I think it’s a great idea, so I’m copying it. Perhaps I should have done the departures before the [...]
