Two Down, Thirty-Six To Go (Pictures)

By: roberto | Comments 3 Comments

“I am happy with the two goals and the victory. We played a great match. It is thanks to the Juventus environment, to Ferrara, to my team mates, to the affection of the fans. It is thanks to all this that I managed to fit in well. The strength of Juve is this: the capability [...]

Ferrara searches for Fullbacks

By: alessio | Comments 67 Comments

There has been several refreshing changes under Ferrara’s regime, there were many times under Ranieri’s reign in which he would never do things that everyone called for, such as switching player positions, or players’ status within the team. Starters more or less stayed the same, reserves stayed reserves, etc, with notable exceptions to the strikers. [...]

Poulsen Is Not D’Agostino’s BFF

By: roberto | Comments 49 Comments

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 [...]

The Official Biography of Diego

By: roberto | Comments 67 Comments

First of all my heart goes out to those of you who’ve been waiting awhile for this piece. Truth be told, every time I started it I got carried away watching You Tube videos of him from adoring Werder Bremen fans with everything from Tina Turner to Autobahn inspired trance soundtracks. Their admiration for this [...]

So Long, Viking Warrior!

By: alessio | Comments 22 Comments

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 | Comments 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. Secco had been discussing the deal for [...]

Player Ratings: Juventus Season 2008-2009

By: alessio | Comments 59 Comments

As part of the first portion of a seasonal review (hurrah unemployment) I’ve decided to, like last year, do a rating for every player who took part this season. Ratings, are of course opinionated by nature, but that’s probably why we like them so much, as fans of Calcio, so we can debate and argue. [...]
