VotD: The Giovinco U-21 story

right now diego is a much better player than giovinco to me.

right now melo is a better player than marchisio to me.

i think we got better at both positions so im not going to complain.

i dont see much of a difference in canna and olof...canna was free though and melberg represented a 2 million profit.

whenever i saw melo play last year he was flat out dominant...i'm excited to see how he can help juve.

hes done better but im taking into account the last few seasons as well.

if his signings eventually push giovinco and marchisio out the club will you still sing his praises? marchisio is seriously going to be a world class midfielder in the next couple of seasons and giovinco should be starting every game...

maybe all this melo talk is a ruse..and we actually end up with D'Agostino...lol...

wishfull thinking i suppose...

why would secco pay near 28m for a brazilian coming off one great season when he wouldnt bay 20m for an italian whos a juventino and the player that you needed most???

Yeah I don't know either.

he might of brought in diego and melo (maybe) but you already have giovinco and marchisio. then he brings in a 35 year old defender who most of the fans hate. secco is an absolute idiot its actually beyond belief how he works for juventus

Most Juventini are praising him right now. I think he's done a good job thus far, if only we had kept Mellberg instead of Cannavaro...and as long as we get a right-back, and hopefully not sign Melo, I'll sing his praises too.

I am reading that Real Madrid are now in negotiations to acquire D'Agostino...

why Juve, why?...

The former Milan tactician doesn’t doubt the talent of the Brazilian midfielder but claims the Bianconeri would have been better off with a different type of player.

“Juve have plenty of tireless midfielders. Aggressive players who have stamina and can fight for the ball. However, they are lacking when it comes to building up the game. Their ball possession has always been a weak point because there isn’t much harmony in their tempo. D’Agostino would have provided them with that. Melo is a better overall player but he seems like a stronger copy of some of their current midfielders.”

Sacchi basically claims that the Brazilian is a better Momo Sissoko or Christian Poulsen while D’Agostino would have become Juve’s Andrea Pirlo, thus making a massive difference in midfield.

If only the Bianconeri management was paying attention!

it would be good to see ferrara mould chiellini into the next super italian defender like he promised to be in the 07-08 season

Ah yes, just over a month to go till the new season. Can't wait to see how the team looks under Ciro.

FOR EVERYONE'S VIEWING PLEASURE, SOME BEAUTIFUL "OLD" FOOTAGE:

Outta now where , Sky Italia roported it, seems like its gonna be happening.

Always a joy to watch Seba, especially since he is three heads shorter than any other player on the pitch(except of Marko Marin).

I've always thought that the only purpose of players presentation is showing them shirtless. Otherwise it's pretty boring.

I'm not up to date. Whre did this Melo thing come from?

I'm really looking forward to watching Ariaudo develop next season.

nice videos showing the first training session at Pinzolo and Diego's first touches with his new teammates. interesting to see Ariaudo score on Amauri's corner on part 2.

Well, it looks like we got Melo. Just like Alessio said this might slow the development of Marchisio, but I hope that is not the case, maybe the competition with Melo will make both Marchisio and Melo better players (wishful thinking?). Now, sell Trez to Lyon, get Grosso and some money, sell Grygera and buy a right back with all of that money. What do you think?

It looks like it's time to update Marchionni's name on the "categories" list on the right hand side ---------------->

And by update it I mean replace it with Melo's.

I cant imagine Giovinco sitting on the bench for another season. I see him leaving on co-own.

Watermelon mannnnnn, crazy soundtrack and another crazy video. Juve Bob I'm with you. Dare we say he needs to be a little more like Diego? Hm? Maybe? Ok well not really Giovinco, is who he is and an amazing talent at that. This year under Ferrara he'll rip it up.

Just for the hell of it, I'd like to see a pic of Gio standing next to Peter Crouch or Luca Toni...

I hope some of the naysayers see how hard Gio does in fact work defensively.

of course they can play together. both of them behind a main striker, a better version of the christmas tree with del piero paying the big games. sissoko infront of the back 4 with melo and marchisio bossing the midfield! its football not rocket science giovinco and diego can coexsist just imagine the one touch passing!!!

Kasia, they are playing videos of Diego's medical, plenty of shirtless Diego for you!

nice...thanks alessio..

Live presentation of Diego:

If Ferrara could get him and Diego to coexist in the same formation us fans r in for a real treat!!!
All Gio needs is to work out a bit more...become more like Miccoli. Then he'll strike fear into the best of defenses worldwide!
