The Future according to Tuttosport (Aka, God I hope not)

Juventus under Prandelli: (35% chance of happening)

Juventus under Benitez: (20% chance of happening)

Thoughts on Tuttosport:
#1- This is the most half-assed “sensationalism” report I’ve seen. Who knows if Zac would go with a 3-4-3? Where are these arbitrary “percentages” of signing a coach coming from? (Their asses, clearly) Apparently Gasparini, Allegri, Lippi, etc have 0% chance of happening, collectively.
#2- This is the most depressing fantacalcio I’ve seen. Skrtel, Higuain, Kuyt, for real? Come on. We’re done with the mediocre shit. (Hopefully)
#3- What is the obsession with Vargas? He’d be Melo 2.0, aka unnecessary, we’d get fleeced horrendously on the sale, and he’d probably never reach his Fiorentina heights again.
#4- I’ve said this exact line for the last few years- “The priority, as it has remained for the last few years, is three words: DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE.”
#5- Still very opposed to Benitez or Capello.
#6- De Ceglie is apparently fully anointed as our future left-back. As much as I’d like to believe that, I don’t.
#7- Mexes is overrated, overpriced, and a Romanista at heart. No thanks. Apparently the only alternative to him at CB is Skrtel. Blah.

Can anyone get me a job at Tuttosport? Here’s my vision for the future.

We sign Ribery, Fabregas, Dzeko this summer.

Oh wait, they already posted that.

    I am SO mad.....What the hell happened today?!?!?!


    Come on Juve....we're better than this....Dammit I miss our squad from last year!
  • Gaetano
    What the fuck
  • Gaetano
    Not watching yet. Are we playing ok?
  • Gaetano
    1 -1 already. Damn! Forza ragazzi!
  • Befe
    Wow, a goal already, does anyone have a link?
    They are playing the benfica game on Fox
  • nico
    alessio i have to disagree with you on some points. higuain is an excellent player. he starts for real madrid over benzema and raul, and argentina over tevez, milito and aguero. hes also exactly the kind of player we need (so we wont get him).
    skrtel is also a good player, he was the best defender in the premiership last year after vidic, and mexes would be a good buy though id prefer someone younger.

    hopefully we'll play 4-5-1 with higuain up top and kolarov. (+a right back). spalletti or prandelli as manager please

    buffon
    MOTTA, RANOCCHIA, chiello, KOLAROV

    Matchpost up. Sorry for no previews, Irish flu has been plaguing me!
  • Sofia
    "I hope candreva and diego score today!"
    - You and me both!!
  • Sofia
    al - according to Sky Sports Marchisio is injured as well. Really, who ISN'T injured?!
  • Gaetano
    I hope candreva and diego score today!
  • Blanda_Amania
    For the love of clean sheets!! Alright, gotta dig deep. No 1v1's with the keeper, defense!
  • Fulham's home stadium is named "Craven's Cottage." Don't they know what "craven" means? I thought they spoke english in London.

    Might as well call the place "Yellow's Hollow", "Scared-shitless' Shack" or maybe "Chicken's Pavilion".

    ...I bet they would serve delicious food at Chicken's Pavilion.
  • Sofia
    Blanda, that's excellent! Thanks for that, I hope it works!!
  • al
    Formation is out!
    Chimenti, Melo, Canna, Grosso, Brazzo, Zebina, Camo, Trez, Sissoko, Candreva, Diego.

    I think it is 4-3-2-1 with Brazzo as a RB. Marchisio even not in the bench. Is he suspended?
  • Blanda_Amania
    Ok, so I figured it out. Game on in 45 minutes. Good thing I woke up early. Sofia, I ate enough bangers and mash to cover you. My voodoo is extended to you.
  • Sofia
    ZAC LIED! He is starting Chimenti! WTF!?
    Oh and Melo is starting, which I believe is bullshit because he will never learn his lesson. Treat him like a child, punish him in order to show him his actions were wrong. By giving him more playing time we are only encouraging him...sad.
  • Blanda_Amania
    That's awesome news, Sam DJ. Both that Zac is aware of the challenges, and that'll he be giving the kid a chance. I'm looking forward to his debut!
  • Sofia
    LOL! I had cereal for breakfast...does that count? haha I didn't have time to make anything else it was 6am and I had to go to school :( Maybe I'll go get some Tea&Buscuits now...
  • Blanda_Amania
    I thought biscuits were those fluffly, round thingies with no flavor! I like the idea of cookies instead of scones though, and wikipedia says they are the same thing, then you're doing it right, lol! I had bangers and mash again. They're growing on me.
  • Sam Dj
  • Sam Dj
    I heard Zac will hand Pinsoglio his debut tonight no?
  • Sofia
    BEST. NEWS. OF. THE. DAY! (So far) Chiellini nears return! http://www.goal.com/en/news/10...
  • Sofia
    Gaetano: Exactly. If he doesn't like there, please there's the door. Would he like some assistance packing his bags? If he does, I'm on the next flight out if that will get him out any faster!

    TeamGREASE: LOL!! I thought the match was at 1 until I checked the TV guide and it said 2 so I rushed home for no reason. I love that you looked it up on wikipedia! You don't say biscuits in the States?!

    Blanda - I know! Blanc is clearly blind and should not be President. Fuck. He is running a team and he can't even see that there's a problem. O Dio!

    Rinaldo - I'm not sure if he ever actually came out and stated he wouldn't come back.
  • Rinaldo
    Is there any reliable news source that quoted Criscito as saying he does not want to return to Juve? The last time I read about this issue, Criscito merely said "it was up to the clubs", and that he'd be happy at either club.

    Secco needs to grow some balls and just bring him back. Buy Bonucci too. I don't care that he wants to play for Inter (since he was part of their youth system). He'll turn into a Juve fan once he joins us.
  • Blanda_Amania
    How long from now for the game? I woke up because I was so afraid I'd miss. I could use another hour or so of sleep though.
  • Blanda_Amania
    Sofia, I shook my head at Blanc's statements like what the hell team has he been watching!? Someone on the staff really loves that Melo guy, eh? Well, he better wear a helmet for the next home game because I'm sure the fans don't right now. I hope it's sooner rather than later for Caceres. Our backline need him and Chiellini asap.
  • I've decided to have "Tea & biscuits" for today's match.

    I'm 90% sure that the game kicks off at 2pm EST.

    Poor Fulham, but I hope we destroy them.

    ...In the good ol' US of A biscuits are scones. But turns out that "Tea & Biscuits" is, according to wikipedia, tea with a cookie or two used for dunking. So now I need to skip the scone and get some cookies. And for those of you who laugh at my cultural dependency on wikipedia, please understand that no one is more ashamed of this than I.
  • Gaetano
    sophia, I also feel the same about melo. If he doesn t want to stay gtfo.
    This club has a great history and deserves respect.

    Also, We dont need players who suck off the tits of our old lady.
    One or two game good performances won t cut it (amauri should be listening).
  • Sofia
    Gaetano: You're right about Criscito, if he doesn't want to play for us it would be worse to force him. I read that we are offering Amauri to Palermo in exchange for Kjaer, but apparently Zampa is smart and said hell no to that. Caceres won't need surgery according to Juventus.com, so hopefully he will be back sooner than later.
    So it looks like Melo isn't going anywhere...
    http://www.goal.com/en/news/10...
    Also, Blanc is stupider than he looks - http://juventus.com/site/eng/N...
  • Gaetano
    Also-- i m sold on the idea of loaning out giovinco. He needs consistent play. The only bad possibility would be that, like criscito, he may not want to come back.
  • Gaetano
    Ok we we give them the rest of criscito's contract for palladino.
    Criscito doesn t want to play for us and forcing him would be terrible.

    I think palladino has/had potential. I guess that will mean no pazzini who i'd prefer.
    Unfortunately, Amauri won't be going anywhere. Too bad we couldn t get chamahk.
    The good news is,we'll probably reinforce the back.

    If we sell melo we could buy caceres and candreva. We would have 50mil to buy two more defenders and possibly a regista.

    Btw how is caceres these days?
  • Jorid
    Antonio: I don't mind.
    If somehow, someway Criscito ends up at Inter, I'm going to be pissed off.
  • Rinaldo
    looks like no more criscito…

    I am absolutely distraught.
  • dweb
    alessio, thats too funny! juventini, let us rest assured that our much hallowed offside blog is shepherded by one who is truly committed to the cause of the bianconeri!
  • Stasio
    Vargas is the truth he would be Camo's replacement...Melo is not comparable he is trash. 2 totally different signings
  • Sofia
    http://www.football-italia.net...

    looks like no more criscito...
  • ned lowe
    NO! to gallas.i'm sure he's a decent player, but he'd be yet another short-sighted solution (knezevic,mellberg,stendardo,cannavaro & grosso) to our defensive ills. we need 2 build our defence n we need 2 start now.i'm not goin 2 name names, but if we decide 2 activate our option on caceres then the acquisition of a new CB as well as the return of both criscito & ariaudo are imperative...otherwise add a RB to that list.

    keeping candreva is an ABSOLUTE must! he's shown great promise n settled in very quickly. he's shown the type of mettle giovinco needs to add to his technique in order to get into the team...a d'agostino-type central midfielder might also not be a mad idea...we still need to get that orchestra director in midfield

    upfront....toss amauri n bring in a forward who can PLAY football...enough of the big n strong target-men who are of no use outside the 18-yard box ...a forward with more than a modicum of technique n who can take on beat his man is a must

    in d coaching department i'd say no to benitez & yes to any of spaletti/capello/blanc
  • Blanda_Amania
    "...I asked him, “Why would you get such a big tattoo of such a shit squad?” and was promptly thrown out."

    I'm sorry that this was a fave place of yours', but LOL! Smooth, Alessio.
  • PaulPuzzo
    "No Gallas. He’d just be a repetition of the mediocre bosmans we’ve been working with the last few years. "

    Hey don't forget that we are getting Kuranyi next year. Oh my.. what happen to my beloved Juventus.
  • Sofia
    Uh oh! I hope Secco doesn't read Tuttosport...
