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…

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.

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
