Bit of pace and width coming on now, should help.

Abate and Boriello on for Gattuaso and Huntelaar.

winger and a target man, should improve out play.

I ****ING LOVE THAT LITTLE DUCK!!!!!!!!!

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:17pm

Antonini on for Janku, expect him to push on more, his delivery is probably slight better too.

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:25pm

Pippo on the score the winner, Pato off, we really need to work their fullbacks now and get crosses into the box!

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:29pm

Juve settling in for the draw and penalties with Poulsen on?

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:38pm

Ronnie shoved off the ball as he shoots and the ref doesn't even blink, joke!

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:41pm

Extra Time.

Seaneh · 17-08-2009 9:46pm

I love Marco Storari!

I forgot it could go to extra time and pens and turned it off after 90 minutes. FAIL!

After the way their pre-season has been they really need to have a good game and could do with a win, they have lost every game against Inter and Juve and could do with a good win to boost confidence before they play Inter in a couple of weeks.

On another note Cambiasso has had surgery on his knee and will be out for about 6 weeks apparently so we really need a top quality midfielder, we need a playmaker anyway but this just adds to the problem. If we don't get somebody in I can see it potentially costing us the scudetto.

What would you think of Sneijder?

Anyone doing a Serie A fantasy football?

The only one i can find is here: http://fantacalcio.repubblica.it/
it's easy enough to get through even if you don't speak italian.

if anyone would be interested in getting a league going, let me know

Went straight to penos.

Storari saved the first penalty but I was still bricking it as Buffon is usually quite good in shootouts.

Was the first time in about 5 years I would have prefered to have Dida in goal, that man is a penalty saving God, pity his general play has gotten so **** lately.

I'd be very happy for him to join and think he is the type of player we need but last week he said he wasn't interested in joining Inter so it might be a better idea to try for somebody who actually wants to join us. We could well miss out on signing anyone because we are putting all our efforts into getting a player who doesn't want to join us and even if Real accept an offer he might say no. I think with Cambiasso out a midfielder is a must because imo our midfield is our weakest area even with him fit, Vieira is too old, Muntari is a good squad player but not good enough to be first choice, Motta had a very good season lats year but I am still not 100% convinced by him and Stankovic need to find the form he had a couple of years ago. I would like Hamsik but don't think it will happen this year, Van der Vaart is another player I like and we could probably get him cheap, other than that I can't think of many other players we could get(I know Gourcuff has been rumoured but I can't see them selling him so soon after buying him).

dizzywizlw · 19-08-2009 9:37pm

Sneijder would do quite well an inter, especially without Zlatan with propper four four two being used a lot more often.

Just a little dig though, Diego:D

Reports are coming out that a deal has been agreed for Sneijder

Inter and Real Madrid have finally come to an agreement regarding Wesley Sneijder, that will see the player join the Nerazzurri, according to Sky.

The Italian champions will reportedly pay €15 million for the midfielder, as los Blancos seem to be willing to lower their original asking price on the former Ajax star as the transfer window edges towards a close.

Sneijder had previously stated that he would prefer to remain with the Spanish giants, but was not opposed to joining the Serie A side, as he considered it a "nice option". Further evidence of the deal were reports that sporting director Jorge Valdano had flown to Dortmund to discuss the transfer with the 25-year-old. Also, Sneijder did not participate in the 5-1 friendly victory over Borussia Dortmund, sitting on the bench in civilian clothing.

If a deal was indeed finally struck - an announcement should be made in the near future - ending Inter's lengthy search for a creative force in the centre of the pitch.

A very good signing if true and a bargain at €15m in my opinion.

OK then, here a little dig back, Maicon, Santon, Chivu, Samuel, Cambiasso, Eto'o and Milito:D

that was brilliant. their not a patch on poulsen though

Do you think Sneijder can play at AMC behind Eto'o and Milito ?

Btw do you guys think if Juve get Rafinha or another suitable RB then its going to be the closest race ever?

Possibly but we won't be signing anyone else in this window.

Del Piero wants great start
Thursday 20 August, 2009
Alessandro Del Piero is incredibly excited ahead of the first game of the season and has revealed Juventus are ready to give their best.

The Bianconeri will face Chievo Verona at the Olimpico in Serie A’s Week 1. “We want to start the season at full speed,” claimed Del Piero.

“Chievo are a solid team and last year they caused us trouble. I hope we will be able to win and have a really good start. We are ready for it.”

Regarding the row between Marcello Lippi and Jose Mourinho, Pinturicchio gave his opinion.

“Lippi made his prediction and there is nothing wrong with that. I don’t know why Mourinho is so annoyed about it.

“After all last year Lippi said they were going to win it and we didn’t complain about it. I hope he is right with his prediction though.

"I respect Mourinho but at the same time I don't care about him and what he says.

“I am still hoping to get a call from him for La Nazionale and I continue to work like I have always done before.”

"I respect Mourinho but at the same time I don't care about him and what he says."

Love it!

At €15m that's unbelievable value! Although time will tell

On the field 29. I don't care what Lega Calcio says. The only reason it wasn't challenged was that LC have a law which states any challenge to their ruling means automatic expulsion. A clever Catch-22, if you will.

I hope he can and am confident he is better than anyone else we have to play there so I think he would be a good signing.

I think even without Juve signing anyone else this should be one of the best and most competitive season I have seen, not just for the title but for the European places too.

Relax mate, we were having a bit of banter so don't take it so seriously. Besides, no matter what you think, the official record books say Juve have 27 and thats what matters.

Yet I'll hazard that third star goes on next May

No season is ever going to be as close as that one where Inter threw it away on the last day of the season at Lazio and Juve won it but if Juve slipped up Roma could have come in. Insane.

BTW, anyone wanna get a Serie A Fantasy Football sorted?

Also, it's 29.

Fabio Cannavaro has been taking leaders of the various Juve ultras groups out for pizza in an effort to make peace with them avoid any protests at the Chievo match on Sunday.

I have no time for Ultras of any colour. I'd respect Fabio more if he took Paolo Maldini's tack with them.
