I got my kits in the mail from Juvestore while I was away. I got the Yellow Goalie Kit (Buffon), the home kit (Chiellini) and the Away (Giovinco). They are awesome. I’m wondering if they will introduce a third. Hopefully they put the black Goalie kit on sale too.

Thank god the pre-season friendlies are over, eh?

Empoli or Grosseto would be nice..but he should pop over to Bari. They need another speedy striker (had Lanzafame, but now he’s wearing pink) Bari is chasing promotion, and the coach is Juve legend Antonio Conte. Nothing wrong there!

Thanks for that Giuseppe. Really interesting to read, and alot of things I didn’t know. Hope fully justice will be done. There are alot of ignorant fans around who lable us as match fixers without knowing the truth.

On a lighter-er note, I bought our new gold kit today And when I visit Sorrento next week will be sure to find a shop that does name printing so that I can have ADP printed on

Pasquato was on fire today for the Juventus A vs. Juventus B match. Six goals for the lad.

Apparently, he’s on his way out to Empoli or Grosseto for a one-year loan spell.

Alessio,
As far as the Internal Job story goes, it’s actually quite simple. For years Juventus Management were under pressure to relinquish financial control to the rest of the IFIL Group (FIAT). Calciopoli did just that by force. Many question why a company would allow such a thing if it means taking a huge financial loss and the answer is simple…sponsorships. Lucrative deals were struck between Juventus and never before seen companies at the Delle Alpi like Gazzetta Dello Sport (partially Inter owned and operated) and Telecom (partially Inter owned and operated) so the loss only lasted a few months. In truth the stock price plummeted and the Elkanns showed up in April of 2007 and bought up a further 35% of the shares with 104.5 million Euros essentially becoming 65% owners again. Now the stock has stabilized and already we are hearing that the team’s shares may be up for sale.

John,
First of all Juventus is in no position to win or lose because our puppet management won’t dare disturb the status quo in the current FIGC regime. The shareholders however will eventually win. I have little doubt. It will not happen in Italy. The courts in Italy cater to power and have little room for justice and ethics. There you win if you have money or political power and we the fans/shareholders have none. The European system however is respected for its professionalism and GLMDJ is appealing in two European Courts. Be patient though, it won’t be tomorrow. First the Association needs to be turned away in all Italian Courts (only one remains) and then the doors to Europe can officially be opened. It is important to note that UEFA have already stated that whatever is decided in European Civil Court, they will ensure gets respected so if the FIGC doesn’t want to co-operate they can kiss UEFA status good-bye. The money issue is simple. If the shareholders were handed 230 million it would get paid over 40 years or so by all responsible (primarily FIGC and Telecom).

KJ,
Don’t be so quick to label Moggi. For all the accusations and hearsay, thus far the courts have only served to clear his name (albeit to no avail).
