G - Middlesbrough (Premier) UPDATE: Juventus is very close to signing Middlesbrough goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer, Tribal Football reports. ANALYSIS: Schwarzer will definetely be assigned to a backup role with Gianluigi Buffon still being considered one of the top goalkeepers in the world. Current Juventus backup goalkeeper Emanuele Belardi has not been very impressive in his few opportunities to play, which has led Juventus to make this move. POSTED: Sat, 03 May 2008 19:00:15 -0500
