Krasic Shells Out 10k to Show Up Ontime

Krasic really is a very rare breed. I am absolutely thrilled, there really is a player who is all about wearing Bianconeri-shirt, not money. Players like Milos are the ones who keep the whole game alive!

Good article title from TuttoJuve- Dimostrateci che e' la Juventus e non Judoria o Judinese

Although an old article, it's really interesting. Just stumbled upon it today, as someone had posted it on VS. I had heard of Inter's bullshit during the 60's but here is an outsider's report on it:

But when Keith Botsford, my American colleague, and I were investigating what we called The Years of the Golden Fix, it transpired that Inter’s European victories of the 1960s were the fruit of bribery and corruption in which Angelo Moratti played a crucial part in a process implemented by two men also now dead: Dezso Solti, the Hungarian fixer, and the serpentine Italo Allodi.

So.. is Agnelli going to say "better relegated than be murderers"?

LOL, I wish.

Andrea's actual response was somewhat lame IMO. I like Andrea and was pleased that he immediately responded to Merdatti's accusations but what he said and how he said it sounded more as if he was very disappointed at MM, than furious at him.

I hope that he has been convinced by Luciano and Penta's proof and acts against Farsopoli within the next month or so, as rumored.

The above reason is partially why I don't want the Burdisso deal to go forward. If we are in fact negotiating with Merda and successfully buy a player from them, then I can't see us acting against them come October.

Maybe we will use to cash from Diego sale to land Pazzini ?

It is likely..but now we'll have nobody to get him the ball.

What if we play Aquilani & Marchisio together in the midfield. Krasic & Lanzafame will also provide decent delivery from the wings...

As long as marchisio and the wingers can defend, I suppose it could work... I wish we could get Bale, his crosses were beasty today and a certain italo/brazilian would benefit.

what is marotta thinkin???
selling diego...after the last episode finally thought it was over. but now he s sure to go...and we wouldn't even get dzeko as a part f the deal...really sad..really liked him

Alright, alright! Krasic is pretty amazing. What a professional!

I'm assuming there's this huge plan to bring in a player, or players, that will vastly improve the team. It's the only reason we should even think of selling Diego. It better be grand. If we remain the same, or go to shit, then I think we can all be very, very disappointed. Pretty much wait and see, I suppose.

5 juve Jerseys to buy this year:

1. Krasic he hasnt even play and his my favorite juve player....go figure?
2. Aquilani just to piss offf roma fans...which i truly enjoy!
3. Del Piero, this season will be his last best season! The dude is old! A legend, but old!
4 Chiellini im certain this will be his best season ever. He will be known as the best defender in the world!
5. Amauri..............JUST KIDDING!!!!!
5. Trez jersey....a classic!

Since we bought Krasic as our non EU player this summer, does that mean we can buy Dzeko in january?

no, we have to wait until next season.

It's been a while since my last post, approx. a month ago, and before I politely attacked some poor guys here who think that the super-awesome-last-season-almighty-league-top-scorer Toto Di Natale from the all-conquering Udinese is somehow perfect for Juve in expense of Diego please allow me to say this..

I've never felt more like a mid-table club fan than now that we're very close to sign someone with the name of Antonio Di Natale. Let alone the fact that he's 33 yo. For 7M Euros. In a 3 years contract. *wallbang*

WHAT HAVE WE BECOME? This is Juventus, not some bloody-freaking Sampdoria or Udinese. Might as well change our name into Judoria or Judinese. I think I'm going to vomit.

So, Toto, please.. please.. please.. refuse a transfer to Juventus and stay where you are. Thank you very much.

Now I'm gonna need some nice dose of Paracetamol for this headache. Aahhh, so much for "roba da Moggi", huh Marotta?

honestly I have no problem with Di Natale coming since he can play as ss or prima punta, but I would hate it if it was at Diego's expense. Pazzini can wait 'till next year.

BINGO.

I wish the club loves him too.

wow. some of the people on here sicken me- 'i may take a break from supporting juve', etc. if it were up to me you'd never come back.

now my thoughts.

1. Diego leaving isn't SO bad. i'd rather he stayed as he is pretty much our only real source of creativity, but truth be told he really doesn't fit the system. we should get an SS such as Robinho or Cassano (don't you think its strange that the rumours start that Diego will leave as soon as Samp get knocked out? -surprised the media hadn't picked up on that).
Even IF we get Di Natale (who if it wasn't for his age would be a wonderful signing), that would be mean we have Alex, Iaquinta, and ADN to play as the SS, who between the three of them should make 1 season.

2. Why on earth is ANYONE against us signing Burdisso. Hes a great defender, and in my mind is comfortably better than Bonucci AT THE MOMENT.

3. Agree with Daniel Aello- chill about Libertazzi.

There's nothing wrong with that phrase. Well, to me at least. Esp. if their supposedly big-ambitious club always content with mediocrity. So why bother? Like in our case. Juventus becoming more and more of a provincial club because of this stupid mentality of favoring quantity over quality. Wow.. I thought Secco has gone? I mean come on, those mofos dumping Diego, and seek Di Natale as his replacement!! This is not Juventus. Not Juventus that I know, and adore.

My thought about your thoughts:
1. How's Diego leaving isn't so bad if they seek a replacement in the shape of ADN? That's beyond bad. A complete madness and idiocity, IMO. Doesn't fit the system argument is nonsense. How do we know? No one knows what's going to happen. You might have a point if you'd said, "Diego doesn't fit into Italian football", like what Moggi's claimed long long time ago. But then again, it's unfair to judge him after just one season in a completely shambles side of Juventus 2009/2010. Not even Zidane can save that team.

Cassano wanted to retire in Samp. Good for him as I don't see him having that extra determination to do well in other club. As for Robinho, NO!!! Why? Try this: bbc.co.uk/blogs/timvickery/201...

Someone who has a terrible first touch like Iaq should stay far away from Seconda Punta spot in any team in high level football. Vincenzo, despite his versatility, never flourished in other position other than Prima Punta.

2. Oh yes, he's such great defender Inter couldn't wait to offloaded him. Burdisso is a mediocre defender. He's one of the most error-prone def I've ever know. He's so error-prone he makes Nelson Rivas look like a Gentile. Not a very bright lad too, I suppose. One season wonder in Roma won't change anything.

3. Libertazzi is a talanted kid. Know him since his first year at the primavera, 2 years ago. He's the youngest member of the squad at that time, class of '92 while most of his teammates were '89 (because he's just too good for kids at his age, he skipped the Berretti phase). Now, he's the only Juventino on Italy's U-19 team. Having said that, people who jump on him right AFTER he made that sweet volley "alla Trezeguet" and even mentioning him here and there like he's somekind of finished product makes me perplexed.

I laughed my ass off at "He's so error-prone he makes Nelson Rivas look like a Gentile." Funny as hell and very true.

LOL ROBINHO BEING A GOOD REPLACEMENT!

We don't need any more Brazilian mercenaries. Melo fills the quota.

1. Robinho? No thanks. Very inconsistent and a bit immature at times.
Cassano? Can't see us getting him for less than 25 million methinks. If we have to spend that kind of money, might as well keep Diego.

2. Burdisso a great defender? IMHO he's still a mediocre player and the only reason why he's the talk of Serie A right now is because he just had the best 6 months of his life. Defenders usually do hit their prime around 27-28 but do you remember the Burdisso of the Inter times? His lapses in concentration were frightening.
Most importantly, 8 million Euros for a (supposedly) 3rd-4th cb who's also Inter's trash? I think I'll pass.

3. Good point.

At the very early stages of this mercato, Moggi said that Juve should sell Diego & Milan should get Ibra. And, I thought he had gone nuts.

You know what? He did say that! My god, Moggi is really a God of Mercato!!

Makes me sick this crap about Diego leaving... And if we get bloody Di Natale as a replacement i will be shattered. Then Marchisio struggling to get a contract... arghh. I dont think I'm going to have the voglia to watch many games this season if thats the way its gunna be.

Also, all those all of a sudden saying Libertazzi, Libertazzi... just frigin relax... before the friendly you didnt even have a clue who he was.

I actually knew who he was. He played for Italy in the U-17 World Cup last year. He was the only Juve rep on the team (oddly enough, Inter had 5 players on that team - the most of any team). He was also the youngest member of our Primavera team last year. Might very well still be.

"before the friendly you didnt even have a clue who he was. "

Doesn't mean we should remain clueless forever.

Comrade, don't be clueless... I actually searched him after I say the friendly.. but some are thinking he's the second coming

I haven't read too much hype about him, I knew about him before. Promising young player, more mobile and tricky than Immobile.

Claudio's contract runs to 2014, what the hell is he struggling with? He should focus in regaining his form and challenging the top teams not whining about his contract.

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't it GDN who pushed out Diego at Porto?

According to Zaccheroni's interview earlier this summer, yes.

Zac stated that supposedly GDN had said: "Diego is a nice player but with me he's not playing."

Oh, and Fausto Rossi too?

Question: What position do Libertazzi, Boniperti, and Giandonato play?

Libertazzi is a seconda punta. Boniperti is a attacking midfielder/winger I believe (not positive on that), Giandonato is a central midfielder, and Fausto Rossi is a winger. They're young (Marchisio was still playing trequartista at that point) so they definitely could change.

Fauto Rossi is playing at Vicenza, is he on loan? do we still own him?

I really loved F.Rossi in pre-season last year. I definitely hope he turns into a great player.

Last year he struggled pretty much all season with minor injuries. Let's hope he can go undisturbed, he is still very young to be loaned out.

Co-ownership.
