GdS claims that former Juve youth product Riccardo Maniero (30 years old) will be the first Juventus B signing.
Sky claims that Juve has closed a deal to sign the midfielder Idrissa Toure, age 20, from Werder Bremen. He will play with the B team.
The young guys on the US tour, like today's goal scorer Luca Clemenza, are they on Juve B? Or are they with the primavera?
Momblano is also reporting that Mattia del Favero will be the starting goalkeeper for Juve B. I'm so happy he's going to remain.
Juventus U23 (the Juve B teams official name) will play in the Serie C championship starting on August 25th. The team has already started preparing at Continassa.
After Ronaldo this is the greatest news in a very long time. We'll see a lot more Champions be forged in Italy again!
Why not? Your team will be able to develop youngsters without sending them out on a loan especially if Juve B gets in Serie B next year. It's a great perspective in my point of view
Some more info on how the U23 team is taking shape. Nice to see some of the players staying at Juve instead of going on on loan, like many did last year. http://www.goal.com/it/notizie/calc...der-23-di-zironelli/erhxecjqdxei1hniwioja90iz
Claudio Zappa and Giulio Parodi have returned from their loan spells, they'll be with the U23 team. Simone Emmanuello will return to Juventus after six seasons at Atalanta, he'll play with the U23 team. Idrissa Toure will be part of the U23 team.
Have they come up with those details yet? For instance, a player returning from injury, will it work like baseball where the player has a minor league stint to get back in shape?
I think it would be a fantastic idea for the league to start implementing some unconventional practices that may render it much more competitive and not to mention more exciting. If they don't work out they simply revert back.
