Carrying Amauri out on a stretcher might be one of the few options we have left...

There are things in life that just make you want to throw stuff at the wall. Heck, even throw yourself at the wall. You name it and it probably involves a wall and some kind of destruction.

Amauri turning down every single possible move away from Juventus is what puts one of those things to happen in motion — quickly.

We thought he was gone for good when Big Daddy Beppe was able to ship him off to Parma — salary included! — during the winter transfer window. He proved what we all knew about him — he’s the big fish in a small pond, nothing more than that — and did enough of it to basically say “Hey, mid-table teams in Italy. I’m not washed up like you all thought I was!”

However, once Juve’s preseason training opened, there was Amauri. Such a happy fellow.

The rumors flew of where he’d be off to. Back to Parma? Back to Palermo? Maybe one of the 10,000 Serie A players Leonardo was bringing with him to PSG? Maybe to help Cannavaro tutor the kids in Dubai? What about carrying Grosso’s bag of goodies whenever he went to the tanning booth? It seems like they were all thrown out there at some point.

But nothing happened. The transfer deadline came and went and Amauri is still under Juve’s control, set to steal paycheck after paycheck because he has nothing better to do. He’s thrown away the chance to return to Palermo. He’s turned down a chance to go play for Trabzonspor (say that name three times fast) in Turkey. He isn’t going France. Thanks for trying your best, Didier, but this is a creature of its own free will.

It’s hard to say what the hell is going through his head these days and why exactly he has declined all of these moves because, well, we have no idea. He’s clearly not wanted at Juventus anymore yet, according to his agent, he wants to stay and prove his worth with the team. (brb, slapping my knee because that’s hilarious.) If that means disgracing our beloved Pavel’s No. 11 shirt by bitching at refs and being completely worthless on the field, then he’s already done more than enough of that. No need for another display.

Sigh.

So here we are, with a new stadium about to open up its lovely doors to the public within a matter of days and one of the worst buys in the club’s history (yo, thanks again for that, Alessio) is still haunting us. I don’t care if he’s not training with the team right now, he’s still here, still getting his checks signed by Juventus. We’re still talking about him in the present tense. I want to talk about him like he’s a thing of the past and in the past tense, dammit.

One good thing in all of this: He won’t be scoring the game-winner for Parma on Sunday at the new stadio.

Meh, whatever. I’ve put off bashing my head against the wall to write this post. Let me get back to that…

And yes, I will blame Amauri for of all this. It’s only natural to do such a thing.

With no game to review this past weekend the guys still got together and chewed the fat of a number of topics that normally there would not be time to delve into. First up was the Azzurri’s qualifier against Slovenia which was very difficult for three Juventini to assess for a number of reasons, chief among them being impressive displays from fullbacks. (you may need to google what that actually means, we know it’s been a while!) Of course the majority of the focus was the Bianconeri on display and what their performances may mean upon returning to club duties.

From there a close up of the players away from the club on loan began, with Ekdal, Marrone, Amauri, Pasquato and Giovinco featuring prominently. Lastly there is a preview of the Roma game, which seemed an ideal opportunity to invite the Giallorossi-supporting Julian De Martinis on the show. Initially he was allowed to discuss his team then Adam blames him for Marco Motta & it descends into who’s Captain is better…..

Hope you all enjoy the show (even you Julian!) Thanks for listening as always

Aaron, Marco, Lars and Adam

Simply getting better and better and better as time passes by. No not this podcast, Alessandro Del Piero who led his team to victory yet again this past weekend as Brescia visited Turin. Finally securing three points Delneri’s men looked good going forward but the defensive fragility remained and this is discussed at great length by the boys in this episode. Also up for debate is the mental state of Gigi Buffon who gave up another soft goal, the complete lack of cohesion and leadership in defence as well as the improvement seen in attack since the arrival of Ale Matri.

One small step as they say! Thanks again for listening and don’t forget you can download the podcast from itunes too here

Compare that to this team and their overall performance. Melo was playing very well against Bologna until we conceded and has been a great player this season, Aquilani has people that can make the runs and Chiellini had a good central partner until he was placed on the left wing where he is more inconsequential than effective. Marotta’s Juve is better than Secco’s Juve, I think that is clear for everyone. What some fail to realize is that Secco had four years with the team and he benefited from Moggi’s project (one that had 14 years to develop). Secco didn’t build a team that got us into 3rd and 2nd place in Serie A, Moggi did, and it was such a great team that it took 4 years for Secco to crush it to the ground in the way we saw last season.

The first thing I want to ask of my fellow Juventini is to forget about Moggi, he was a great director who knows lots about football, he might have been the best director that Juve ever had but he is not here anymore and I don’t think Juve ever want him back seeing that he is 74 years of age. The other thing we have to remember is he is not with the club anymore so he doesn’t know anything that goes on behind closed doors. He doesn’t know the transfer budget, he doesn’t know the salary budget and he doesn’t know what the club is going through as he did prior to 2006. From that position it is very easy to criticize, anyone can say: Juve should buy Kjaer, Ranocchia, Bonucci, Schelotto, Aquilani, Krasic, Balzaretti, and Dzeko. However after the transfer market has gone by it is clear that Juve couldn’t have afforded three champions, even if we didn’t spend 12m of Martinez. Champions don’t generally come in a free loan with an option to buy or for less than 15 m.

We should be grateful to him, but he is not the future. Juve is bigger than Moggi.

With the Moggi issue out of the way, I want to look at Marotta’s tenure in detail. Last year we had one of the oldest squads, compare that to our average age after the summer transfer market, 25.5; in the winter we got Toni, Matri, Barzagli and got rid of Amauri so I imagine we are still one of the youngest squads in the peninsula. The wage bill came down as well which makes the prospect of Juve not qualifying for CL less worrying than last year. Marotta built a team for our coach, something totally unheard of in Turin since 2006, he did this with the budget of a provincial squad. Also, all the loans with option to buy allow us to make changes depending on how the season goes and how the players respond. This to me is one of the best things Marotta has done. After Secco’s tenure we were stuck with players like Amauri and Grosso who had obscenely high salaries. With Marotta we don’t, we can send Marco Motta, and Pepe packing if we choose to and focus on refilling those places. If that is not a good market strategy I don’t know what is.

Two great players that fit the coach’s style of play. Reason for hope?

Del Neri must be also mentioned. The coach for some is tactically inflexible, if that is your opinion, I disagree but I am not going to argue. However, do you think it is a good idea to change the coach at this point? If so, who would you bring in? Juve are not going to win the Scudetto, no matter who our coach is, Champions League qualification is still a target but one that is not in our hands anymore. Will Lippi get us to the CL? I don’t know, but the thought of him starting Grosso at left back for the rest of the season is terrifying. Spalletti is an attack-minded coach, would Juve be better off with him seeing that we are conceding goals left, right, and center? I don’t think so. Capello might be the answer, but I doubt he will come to Juve unless we give him a huge salary (we don’t have the money) and we buy 2 or 3 champions (we don’t have the money). All sacking Del Neri will do is tell the players once again that this is not their fault, that losing to Lecce was the coach’s fault and that the Bologna loss was due only to poor tactics. Juve should have won both games with the players they had on the pitch, Juve should have won both games playing with 10 men. But the squad is too scared to go out and win.

Where does the mental fragility come from? Some of it is down to age, Sorensen can’t shake off a bad start to the game the way that ADP can. Some of it is the fans putting pressure on a team that is not ready for it yet. Besides Buffon and Del Piero no one has won anything of any significance in their lives. Changing the coach at this point is the equivalent of taking a child away from the parents because he fell when riding a bike for the first time, it makes the parent look irresponsible and prevents the kid from growing. The situation that we are in is mostly the players fault and not Del Neri’s tactical schemes or lack thereof. Losing to Lecce, Parma, and Udinese are 95% due to mental weakness and 5% to poor tactics if that. This mental weakness was aggravated after tying Chievo, losing to Parma and our main striker. Quagliarella got us out of trouble many times and the players could always look towards him to make a difference, now the squad needs to adapt to his loss and move forward, and so must we.

I believe Marotta has done a great job given the team and resources he had available to him, likewise, Del Neri has made us better than last season, and Agnelli is making changes that will make us a stronger team going forward. No Champions League will be a hard pill to swallow in May if it comes to that but it is part of our growing pains. In the summer other players that are dear to us may leave, and others will arrive in order to achieve third place and with the funds the stadium will bring in, we will be able to spend even more.

The club is in a very difficult period. In 2006 Juventus was being relegated and we hurriedly decided to agree to a shady deal of going to Serie B in exchange for a “minimum” point deficit on our first season in the second division. In a rush we appointed Alessio Secco as our sporting director. When things weren’t looking very good for Ranieri the club panicked and chose to appoint Ferrara. In the summer of 2009 D’Agostino’s price was too much and the club once again got scared and bought Melo asking him to be a player he is not. Now we are doing it again, Juventus has lost to two weak sides, teams who on paper should not be able to score on us, let alone beat us. Just like a child that is learning to ride a bike, this team needs time and hard work.

Del Neri might not be the man to get us two Champions League trophies and five Scudetti, but he can get the team out of this slump. The players believe in him, which was clear from the Bologna game. Give the players at least two more games and we will see where we go from there. I understand the frustration, but calling Moggi back, and asking Marotta and Del Neri to resign is not the way out of this situation, faith in the people that are now running this club is. I know many of you disagree with what I think is the path to go through. I don’t have the right answers and this blog is what it is because we are open to discussion. I look forward to hearing your comments.

Hey Gigi, I need to be moved over to the center!

Another week another defeat. Much like last week the team slumped against lesser opposition but, as Aaron discusses with Marco and Adam it was different to last weeks loss to Lecce. Where that no-show was entirely the players responsibility this 0-2 loss to Bologna was at least partially Gigi Delneri’s fault for – irony of ironies – not sticking with a 4-4-2 that worked.

From there the guys discuss the seemingly lost cause that is fourth spot, not just for Juve but also for Serie A after this season, going into a few details of UEFA’s useless ranking system. Other topics of debate include the merits of using of some youth players next season, Michel Bastos and whether Chiellini should move back to the centre.

It’s early for you this week, hope you enjoy the show. Thank you for listening,
Aaron, Marco and Adam.

and don’t worry bird watchers, Lars could not join us today but he should be back next week!

As if the general lack of fighting spirit and under-performing of the squad was not enough, Quagliarella’s nearly season-ending injury, Melo’s umpteenth momentary loss of reason and the Coppa Italia elimination made sure that the dagger shot by lady luck in the direction of Juventini hearts worldwide would get dug deeper. In the 7 games played in the month of January, Juventus was only able to score a miserable total of 6 goals, a pathetic statistic for a team that had consistently found the back of the opponent’s net fairly easily up until the break. More alarmingly, only 1/6 goals scored was by a striker and it came thanks to a brilliant free kick by the ever-reliable, yet 36 year old Del Piero.

With a newly acquired but seemingly finished Toni, a Martinez still recuperating from the injury obtained against Milan, an incessantly injured Iaquinta and a Del Piero who can unfortunately no longer be considered a focal point in attack, the striking duties were once again indirectly placed upon Amauri’s frail, grouchy and grease-covered shoulders. Il Bidone, the 21st Century ESNAIDER John Charles or the Brazilian Bogdani as some call him embraced the enormous challenge lying ahead of him and did what only he can do best: suck enough to cause millions of Bianconeri to be on a regular, 24 hour long, post-game suicide watch. The club’s apparent financial impotence, lack of immediate purchasing power and Amauri’s constant refusals to go and fail somewhere else made everything seem awfully grim. How much longer would Juve fans have to put up with Whiny Mannequin Extraordinaire? This tunnel didn’t seem to have light at the end of it…

…until San Pietro Leonardi di Parma made a miracle happen!

As we all know, Parma loaned Amauri from Juventus for the remainder of the season on the very last day of the mercato, allowing for Alessandro Matri to replace him (pretty successfully so far too) also on loan. Amauri immediately hit back at his old club by claiming that he was at Parma to finally find his long lost goalscoring form and even suggested that he was used as a scapegoat for Juve’s weak offensive displays. His first game as a Gialloblu was nothing to write home about and the second wasn’t looking any better until the impossible, what had not happened for 51 weeks, happened:

I have yet to figure out how that went in and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t rage for a split second when I first saw Amauri’s ballistic masterpiece. Only for a second however, as I made sure to wash it down with this gem while ultimately realizing that despite his goal today, nothing of value was lost:

Matri, bitches (sorry Aaron, I had to!).

All eyes will most certainly be on our last transfer acquisition, Alessandro Matri. With eleven goals so far this season with Cagliari, one could quickly say that he’s an incredibly big upgrade from that guy who plies his trade with Parma for now. But the truth is it all depends on what his service was like with the Rossoblu, and how it will differ in Torino. The good news is, after Amauri, there’s no way it can get any worse.

Matri will wear the same number 32 he wore at Cagliari. Hopefully that’s a good omen and his hot-hand continues here on the mainland. Check out Jeremy over at the Cagliari Offside for his take on the deal, plus he’s good for a recap after the game every once and a while. Check the comments section below for some links, and an unfortunate spat or two perhaps.

“In football anything is possible. Even third and second… It all depends on how the others do and us too. Now it’s time to change the trend. Juve can’t play well for six months and then forget about itself. I don’t believe that there has been an involution. He (Matri) will definitely play tomorrow. We now have a natural centre-forward who can give us a big hand.” -Del Neri

IERI… OGGI… DOMANI… SEMPRE JUVE!!!

Recorded immediately after the Sampdoria slug-fest, Aaron was joined as always by Marco and Adam. The debate got a little heated on a number of issues but one fact was agreed as we’re sure you’ll hear. After discussing the game we moved on to look at a number of players who have disappointed recently and a few who people seem to be certain may replace them. We also looked ahead to the Roma and Udinese games, taking time to reflect of the Zebrette’s win over Inter earlier in the day.

As always, thanks for listening,
Aaron, Marco and Adam.

Raise that voice, San Gigi!

LE PAGELLE:

Buffon: 6- Since he’s come back, San Gigi has hardly had any saves to make. He’s played against Catania, Bari, and now Sampdoria, and seriously, we should be charging him admission. Today, Sampdoria only had one real effort on goal, a mis-shot that luckily landed right in Pazzini’s path, who horribly scuffed it. Is it a coincidence our defense has tightened up since San Gigi is back? I don’t think so, he certainly is very vocal and provides that leadership that perhaps Storari, as great a shot-stopper he is, had been hit-or-miss on.

Motta: 5- Sadly, every game is turning out to be the same for Motta. Can’t really defend, caught out of position, offers very limited in attack, it’s becoming painfully clear that his option will not be picked up come June. I wonder if he knows that.
Bonucci: 7- Classy play from defense, he’s certainly more of a passer than Giorgio is. The two of them formed an unbreakable pairing today, the fullbacks general mediocrity notwithstanding, and hardly let Pazzini or Macheda have an eye on goal. Had a very good effort on goal, altogether a very confident performance from Leonardo.
Chiellini: 6.5- Dominated aerial play and kept Sampdoria quiet for much of the game. He’d get Bonucci’s rating although he had a nervy moment here and there, one he was booked for, and one was a possible penalty shout for bulldozing over Macheda in the box. Not saying it was a penalty, but some referees might have called it.
Grosso: 6- Came on as a sub shortly after Traore, and much like his generally “acceptable” performance this season after having been frozen out of the squad, did his job as a professional. Limited Mannini’s movement on the wings, didn’t offer much up top, but an improved defensive display.

Guberti was playing in Serie B two years ago, c’mon Marco…

Krasic: 5.5- Like our team in general, he hasn’t really clicked back into gear after the Christmas break. Milos had a few accelerations that probably freaked out Ziegler and Samp fans, but faded fast from the game and had very little influence. Rightfully hooked after the break.
Aquilani: 6- Was very inconsistent today, and Juve’s performance closely mirrored that inconsistency. Doesn’t seem as fully fit as he was back in December, physically he faded as the game went on. It might be because as Adam notes on the newest episode of “It Ain’t Over”, he had a lot more defense work to do, helped out Motta on the right wing on occasion.
Sissoko: 6.5- It was a very physical match with lots of tackles, exactly what Momo thrives on, and he had a good performance. Won the ball back, for much of the 1st half, he controlled the midfield with Aquilani and Marchisio. A lively battle with Poli and Palombo.
Marchisio: 6- As a winger offered his typical hard work and coverage, but I really don’t like him as a left-winger, I think his talent is wasted. You can probably copy-paste this line for every one of his games at left-mid.

Pepe: 6.5- Surprised me at how naturally he slotted in at seconda punta, of course, it was his original role years ago, but he rolled back the years instantly. I think that’s as good as a performance as Floro Flores would give, sorta ditto for Martinez. Moved to a winger position and cooled down a bit, but a good performance.
Amauri: 3.5- What can you say anymore about Amauri? Forget us, this man needs to get the fuck out of Turin for his own sake. Unless he wants to pull a Winston Bogarde, clearly the playing environment is not working for him, and a move might shake things up to get him to be a half decent striker, because right now, Erjon Bodgani has FIVE more goals than him in Serie A.

Il Mister applauding his former fans…Sampdoria fans.

Delneri: 5.5- While Delneri clearly his been working at the defensive problems we had (and it’s paid off) there are a number of decisions that are baffling to me. I’ll go into them more below.
Del Piero: 6.5- Yes, he missed a golden opportunity to win the game, but three possible reasons. First, that’s not an easy goal to score, he should have, but was trying to place it and leaned back too much. Second, he’s had the flu and was very sick yesterday, and third, the Marassi pitch was dreadful. Disappointing for him to miss, but he made a difference when he came on and proved at age 36 that he’s still a crucial member of this squad.
Martinez: 7- Speaking of difference-makers, whew. El Malaka came on and totally changed the game, opening Sampdoria’s defense up time and time again despite coming on 6 minutes before regulation time ends. Created 3 golden opportunities, two Alex shots, and headed back for Amauri to somehow not bang it in.

Things I Think I Think:

#1- Moments that Delneri made me facepalm-
a. Why on earth is Amauri still starting? Some said supposedly Delneri gave Amauri today as his “last chance” to prove himself, as much as I’d like to believe it, I doubt it. The man is awful, and he destroys our offensive play simply by existing. Unable to get into goal-scoring position, too slow to beat players like Volta to the ball, cannot shoot, cannot score, he’s awful. I understand maybe Delneri wants to keep his value/self-esteem high, but I think both are still ruined by him playing. It’s time for Delneri or Marotta to come out and say “Amauri’s time at Juventus is finished, we thank him for his efforts but it’s best for us to both move on.” Promote Libertazzi (1:20 in the video) and give him some time, he’s promising. Or Giannetti, he may have been relatively anonymous against Catania (I think it was?) but Amauri literally destroys our play by being up top, Giannetti wouldn’t necessarily help, but he wouldn’t harm it either.
b. Why didn’t El Malaka come on earlier? Jorge Martinez has had many critics dating back to this summer, you may recall I am not one of them. While he probably wouldn’t have been a primary transfer target for me, there’s no doubt he’s a creative and versatile player. It’s a shame he showed up to training overweight and out of shape. Regardless, he started to show some of his talent heading into November before breaking his foot against Milan. And in the last two weeks, he’s looked very lively when playing. He played 30 minutes last week, trained all week, why on earth couldn’t he have done a half? Whether it was up top with Del Piero as he did before, or as a winger, he changed the game. Couple more chances and surely we’d have buried the, right? As someone mentioned- maybe if he gets in good form, we’ll see a long-haired South American tricky dribbler and a blonde Eastern European tearing up the flanks again…
c. Did Delneri confuse the wings? There’s a couple things that Delneri has done tactically on the wings that makes plenty of sense. Pairing an ultra defense right-back (Grygera/Sorensen) with an ultra-offensive winger, of course Krasic, makes sense. There might not be overlapping play between them, but they stick to their task, and do it well. On the other flank, Marchisio started playing left-wing to accomodate Paolo De Ceglie’s less than stellar defensive abilities, although they did improve as the season goes on. Grosso shouldn’t need anyone to hold his hand, so Pepe should be able to play in front of him no problem, with typical Pepe hard work. I don’t understand why Marchisio is playing on the left-wing when he doesn’t really need to (I guess playing time out of position is better than no playing time) or why Delneri chose to go with Motta again. As I said, Motta might realize by now he probably won’t get picked up, and if he does, his performances will surely drop, but playing him behind Krasic limits Milos immensely. Milos has to track back more, play more defense, offer coverage…things that surely limit his attacking play, right? So play Sorensen/Grygera-Milos on the right, and on the left, if Marchisio is playing, we want a more attacking fullback. Like maybe Simone Pepe.

#2- I’d Love Andrea Poli on this Team. Should Sampdoria be interested in selling (they’re probably not) there’s no question we should look at Poli. Very young still, Delneri launched his career last year and he formed a great center midfield partnership with Palombo, he’s been on the outs of the first team most of this year, and put in a pretty good performance today to show what promise he does have. Poli has denied any interest in moving to Juve, and relations with Samp of course are not very good, unfortunately.

Milos and a future teammate?

#3- I’d also take Ziegler. (and Palombo, Lucchini, and I guess half of Samp) Sure, Milos was having an offday, but Ziegler did a pretty good job at left-back for Samp, a very efficient display. He’s worked under Delneri in the past, and while he wouldn’t be a big upgrade on De Ceglie, I think he’d be a fine player to rotate in with him, it’d be nice to have a reserve left-back that isn’t atrocious. Certainly a big upgrade over Traore or Grosso, that’s for sure. It seems Ziegler will finish the next 6 months of his contract at Sampdoria, but he’s eligible to negotiate a move in June starting now. Marotta should start talking to him- Milan is interested as well, though perhaps Beppe doesn’t want to “upset” Sampdoria in case he decides to go Crazy this summer…

#4- The Quality has Disappeared from Sampdoria- Boy, and some people complain about our side being too functional and not creative. Not only does Andrea Poli not get enough playing time, they dumped Cassano for virtually free, their creativity has dried up. Not good for two strikers like Pazzini and Macheda who thrive on service in the box. It’s sad to see Samp this year, they are a shell of a team they were last year, and it’s hard to see a positive future for them. Di Carlo won’t get them relegated, but he’s used to working with teams full of garbage teams, so it’s unlikely we’ll see a creative, forceful Sampdoria anytime in the near future. That talk about the Vialli-Mancini partnership being recreated with Pazzini-Cassano? No more. I wonder how long Giampaolo will want to stay at a team destined for mid-table finishes…

#5- Team Eats- Pesto, I happen to know everything there is to know about pesto. I love pesto. I love pesto on pancakes. I love it on pizza. And I take pesto and put a little bit in my hair when I’ve had a rough week.

Milos v. Sampdoria 4 months ago…

#6- Krasic needs a break. From calcio, and from Motta. Maybe Milos is just a bit tired? I know he’s He-man and all, but even superheroes need to take a break once in a while, right? Kid has been playing nonstop for about a year now, with CSKA and the World Cup occupying pretty much his entire summer, it’s easy to see how he could hit a bit of burnout now. Or maybe it’s just because he has to track back more to cover Motta, which makes him a little more tired, and begins a vicious cycle…

#7- Roma and Udinese coming up this Week- Reasons to care about these upcoming games- sure, it’s just Roma in the Coppa, but we’re both tied on 9 wins, and 10 gives us a big fancy star. I’d like the Coppa, but 2nd best is Roma not getting that silver star before us. Petty? Absolutely. And Udinese might want a bit of revenge. We spanked them 4-0 at their home earlier this fall when their season was starting off absurdly slow. Then again, that was revenge for losing 3-0 at the Stadio Friuli last March. Does revenge transfer stadiums? I don’t know, but Udinese thrashed Inter 3-1 today, and have been scoring absurdly freely in the last month, one of the in-form teams in Serie A. They will not be the same team we rolled over in September, although I feel Udinese played well but Inter also played poorly.

#8- This team today with Luca Toni in place of Amauri gets the 3 points. Just sayin. Also, a small (very small) part of me does feel for Amauri. You can see the goal-scoring drought is weighing on him, his confidence is shot, he’s probably depressed. Like I said, leaving Torino might be the best option for him career-wise as well as psychologically at this point.

#9- Mercato Madness- Zarate? Don’t like him. Overrated and attitude issues. Forlan and Fabiano are great players, but too old to move to make them our “franchise prima punta”, we’d have to replace both in 2 years or so, and that’s not worth the investment Sevilla or Atletico would want. Matri’s available on free in 6 months, and he’s an interesting idea, but my mind is still shouting the same thing it was about 18 months ago- “Pazzini, bitches.” If we move for him, Garrone might not invite Beppe to his birthday party next year, but it’s worth it…

Floro Flores after defeating Bari. Thank God we didn’t sign him before last weekend.

Recorded at the start of this week we’ve had more difficulties than a loan-bid for Antonio Floro Flores. Luckily the complete lack of real news this week makes nothing we said seem out of date, so please sit back, relax and enjoy the show as Aaron, Marco and Adam discuss the Bari game and the events since the previous show. Buffon’s return and what it means for Marco Storari is also debated at length.

Thanks for listening
