    With Zeman at the helm, no team has a chance of a Scudetto.

    You can't blame anyone else for Zemans failure, they're purely down to his own tactics.

    I'm sure that Zeman is the reason Roma didn't win a scudetto last season...

    been there done that Napoli was going through the worst shit during that time. Anyways Zeman's last great big club stint was at Lazio and he was more successful there than at Roma I believe.

    Doesn't just a casual glance at Wikipedia convince you of how utterly wrong you are?

    Getting Pescara to Serie A is a much bigger achievement than winning a Scudetto with Juventus.

    When you have Insigne, Immobile, and quintero its not that hard.

    They've only done it four times in 75 years. A basic understanding of really simple arithmetic tells us that it is, indeed, pretty hard.

    Considering that they didn't get into Serie B until 1974, it's not so bad. A lot of other teams haven't done as well.

    Not every team earns a promotion from Serie C2 to Serie B for "sports merit".

    So even that achievement of ours was more impressive than any dozen of your scudetti.

    Are you seriously trying to justify this right now.

    Pirlo joined because of the influence of international teammates. Common, if he was sold thats easily 10 M. Llorente and Pogba joined Juve not only because they already have a superstar squad that they bought, but they can offer the highest contracts. Llorente joined because Juve can offer contracts others cant and guarantees Champions League. So dont make it seem Juve stole him from serie a.

    Marchisio was a youth product. Fine. You mentioned Gio in the youth products but your forgetting Juve bought Giovinco for 11 million for half his card. So dont try to sneak his name in there on me buddy.

    Fine, Barzagli was a good pick up.

    Chiellini.. 7.3 Million for a 20 year old is a lot of money. Fine not 10 M, but thats friggin high for that age and not any club can dish that out on a 20 year old.

    and you mention 6 bench players to prove Juve buy under 10 Mill. Nice.



    You cannot tell me playing 12 games more in a season is no excuse. If you seriously think that, then you are so so ignorant on that fact its not even funny. Even ask Napoli fans about a couple seasons ago.

    You're the one that brought it up, and now you're turning it around on me because I answered?

    Doesn't matter if he was valued at 50 million, he was free. You specifically said "where they buy minimum 10 million a piece is a shitty example to go by." So I'm proving that it's simply not true.

    They were still free, and it's not like they're making some massive contracts, especially Pogba.

    Plenty of clubs can offer contracts like Juve can. The CL is just a bonus for him.

    Giovinco was also sold before Juve bought him back, and they bought out his other half from Parma so now they fully own him. So yeah, Juve made money off of him first.

    Any club can dish that out on any player, age doesn't matter. Whether they want to or not is another story, but they can if they want to. Besides, you're the one who said "minimum 10 million a pice" I'm just proving that there are a lot of guys on the team that cost less.

    I mentioned them because they get playing time. Peluso, Padoin, and Giaccherini were often starters and they all played many games. Yeah, they're more of a bench role, but they didn't sit and rot on the bench like other wastes like Rubinho (who was free).

    Sure, it takes more out of a team. I don't deny that. Yet Juve did as well and still managed to win the Scudetto. Even with a team that has a lot of players that didn't cost 10 million at a minimum.

    Excuse me while I use wiki ..

    Buffon 50+ Million

    Chiellini 7.3 M @ 20 years old
    Bonucci 15.5M + 50% criscito
    Barz < 1 M
    Lichsteiner 10 M

    Vidal 10.5
    Pirlo - *International Player influenced, other teams had no chance. Worth >10M
    Marchisio- *Youth

    Gio- 11 M

    Tevez- 10M
    Vucinic- 15 M

    Then theres,, Matri Quagliarella Melo Asamoah Martinez Vucinic are all still signed by Juve over 10 M that dont even make the starting 11.

    Do you want a Sum? or do you understand why Juve can get away with playing in tournaments without suffering as nearly as much than other Serie A teams. For you to say 'No excuses' is very ignorant. And just for you to compare for good measures, Lazio's 11 that just passed was bought for a little more than half of Buffon
