Two Down, Thirty-Six To Go (Pictures)
By: roberto |“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 |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

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 |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 |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. [...]
