Nainggolan is a great player but hes rejected us already in the past. He'll most likely go to Inter with their new ownership.
i dont get the Nainggolan infatuation. we keep hearing about him for 2 years but his position is over filled. i hate how we keep avoiding to address real holes we have in this team....wingers and LB......bring dani alves for all i care but can we ffs get a good fullback for once?
Why look for additional CMs when we have Pirlo, Vidal, Pogba, Marchisio, and Asamoah who are all equally adept at that role? As others have said, we need a proper winger.
When has Padoin done anything damaging towards Juve when he plays for us? I understand the Peluso hate because of his early displays for us although he hasnt had a bad one in a while, but I dont recall Padoin having any blunders that would label him a bad player. Hes been solid for us when called upon.
He's been solid when he is out there. He's never had a Marco Motta type of display. You're being too harsh. Juve needs and has always had players like him. Hes not a fancy player, but thats not his fault. But he does what Conte asks of him, which is why Conte brought him in.
I said it when we played Bayern last season, and I'll say it again; Mandzukic is the perfect striker for Conte's system. He's like Llorente. Tevez, Llorente, and Mandzukic would make opponents shit themselves. Mandzukic is the dream.
Absolutely! He is unselfish, presses and works hard off the ball when covering space, wins headers (was incredible against Chiellini in the first leg), and can finish on top of this. Llorente seems a bit more comfortable with the ball at his feet I feel. The only issue is that he is more of a direct sub for Llorente as I couldn't see the both of them starting at the same time. Not saying this is a bad thing, but it would make rotation less flexible. I wonder when/if Conte will start Llorente and Vucinic together.
Would Pirlo leave Italy and Juve? There are several rumors of bids from Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester United for north of 5M Euro Some press links here: http://betcafeitaly.com/andrea-pirlo-courted-by-tottenham/
If he's still considered central to the club's plans, then he'll stay. If not, then he won't. Both Pirlo and Marotta have told the Italian press that money is not the issue. Our interest in Nainggolan over the summer was an obvious sign that, tactically, Conte wants to start weening the squad from its Pirlo-dependence. If we resume negotiations for the Indonesian in January, then it's a likely sign that Andrea will leave.
No one major will leave this summer. These are wishes from other teams. Were in the middle of a project. No time to move pieces
- A report commissioned by the Bianconeri for the banks talks about a plan to “strengthen the first team from 2013-14, increasing the squad’s competitiveness in Europe too”
There's also rumours that Juve is looking for a Gigi Buffon replacement ... having my young BMG keeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen on radar (together with Barcelona).
Antonio Conte has confirmed an 18-man squad for Sunday afternoon’s Serie A clash with Livorno at the Stadio Armando Picchi. The full travelling party is as follows: 1 Buffon 3 Chiellini 4 Caceres 6 Pogba 8 Marchisio 9 Vucinic 10 Tevez 11 De Ceglie 13 Peluso 14 Llorente 16 Motta 20 Padoin 21 Pirlo 22 Asamoah 23 Vidal 27 Quagliarella 30 Storari 34 Rubinho
Raiola key in Pogba/PSG deal? By Football Italia staff Press reports this afternoon have suggested that Paris Saint-Germain will hope to make the most of their connections to sign Paul Pogba. The French champions have a good working relationship with the youngster’s agent Mino Raiola, and according to Quotidiano Sportivo, will look to exploit that, and persuade the representative to bring his client to Paris. The Juventus man has been heavily linked with a move to Les Parisiens in recent months, but the paper believes that Antonio Conte’s side will try to tiePogba to a new deal before January, with an increased minimum fee release clause. President Andrea Agnelli conceded last month that it would be ‘difficult’ to keep Pogba if a huge bid came in.
Nani has been just going through the motions the last couple years. Why bring in somebody with his attitude and hope a change of scenery makes a difference.
