Guys, now that the season is over, which is the best 3 Juve goal of the season (Serie A)? My personal pick will be :-

No. 3 (Fabio Quagliarella vs Chievo)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdAGvD8jPBE

No. 2 (Arturo Vidal vs Torino)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MduedBNOlQw

No. 1 (Paul Pogba vs Udinese)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSesvda_iMo
+2
in no particular order;

Quagliarella vs Inter(A) (1-2 League)

Bonucci vs Shakhtar(H) (1-1 UCL)

Asamoah vs Napoli (4-2 Supercoppa Italiana)
Hard to pick. There were a lot of nice goals.

Pirlo vs Atalanta, Giak vs Genoa just off the top of my head.

The biggest was def Pogba.
The beauty prize goes to Quags vs Inter.
The best team goal is probably Quags vs Bologna.

and Twk, don't know if you forgot, but Quags had a better scissor vs Pescara. :)
yup Spigy i remember that....both were nice goal...asamoah had a scissor kick too....;)
but really alot of nice goal this season...hard to choose....infact pogba also have few nice goal....
Now I am waiting for your complete video Spigy...
Both Higuain and Jovetic are Arsenal bound. One will go and we get the left over supposedly.

BUT, if it's Higuain...I still don't believe Fiorentina will sell him to us.

What's the saying about falling between two chairs?
+1
Nicola Leali named best goalkeeper in seria b hopefully he plays in seria a next season.
+1
I hope we loan him to Sassoulo next season along with other youngsters.
We are working on a deal for Berrardi and they already have Boakye.I think we will have beneficial relationship with them unlike Pescara.
Bad news about Carrera. Don't know what to say. Hope he comes back stronger than ever.
http://www.goal.com/en/news/10/italy/2013/05/21/3995169/juventus-coach-carrera-imprisoned-for-involuntary?source=breakingnews&ICID=HP_BN_3

Seriously...Wow. I think he will be done at Juventus (unfortunately)
Inter merda are riding this like a wave.

I can't believe it tbh. Who the hell expects people walking around on a freeway?

He is basically getting jailed for "not being a good enough driver" ...what is that?
typical. When it comes to someone dat was associate with Juve he'll get the heaviest punishment ever

when other do it its just *meh*
I think this is a delicate matter I Don't know whether the punishment is severe or not but the Idiotic rivalry of stupid fans of all teams that jump on these situations like vultures is just sad.
btw don't take those comment on goal.com seriously.. 90% were trolls and sometimes even i lose control myself when posting over there hence all the vulgar words in contrast to me posting here in FT. Those idiots probably didn't even knew the term of 'manslaughter' at 1st place

Hopefully Marotta and Agnelli received some Holy advice...

Lets hope so
Juventus sporting director Beppe Marotta has suggested that it would be easier for his club to sign Carlos Tevez than Gonzalo Higuain this summer.

http://espnfc.com/news/story/_/id/1454617/juve-tevez-easier-get-higuain?cc=4716

and here we go again with all the link to sign players....dunno who we end up with...?
I wonder why we don't look for that #10 type player. Makes me miss seeing Alex play for Juve.
+1
^There isn't one. Del Piero is one of a kind. A little like Zidane in a way - you can never replace him.
+1
1st Higuain is close or already reach an "agreement" with Juve..

..now its "easier" to sign Tevez..

..next its easier to sign another [insert player name] than Tevez..

see the pattern here?

at the end we ended up with Diamanti

or worse they extend Bendtner loan deal
+1
@Noir - my fears exactly.
This is a good short read on our set piece situation and the solution

http://myjuventus.net/the-absolute-record-of-fernando-llorente/

Apparently we have 2 of the best crossers but as you guys pointed out our tactics for them need work but with Llorente's capabilities we can expect a hell lot of improvement in our aerial departments next season.
A thought I had about the last two matches, because the were abnormally terrible displays from the squad, is that Conte was sending a message to management.

I know some of you have made similar comments but after announcing that Conte wants to do a major overhaul of the squad (reportedly 7-8 players, some being high-profile), my thought is that they are very much so connected.

Specifically, looking at certain players in the starting line-up against Sampdoria (De Ceglie, Isla, Padoin, Giaccherini), I think Conte was throwing a red flag saying:

"If any of our primary starters get injured, if we really want to realistically contend on three front (Serie A, CL, Coppa), if you want to run the risk that we have to put out a squad like this against a CL side or a top4 Italian side or a late round Coppa match and expect to be competitive, you are not only being unrealistic but you are setting yourself up for failure." - case in point, was Napoli actually trying to win CL games or were they trying to converse players for league matches because all they wanted to do was secure CL qualification next term.

Conte does nothing on accident and everything is well calculated. What the Sampdoria match did for him was grant him more authority over transfer decisions (especially selling players) and, in my opinion, show Agnelli and Marotta that if you want me to be your "Sir Alex", treat me like ManU treated him - more authority.

Thoughts?

I agree completely. How Marotta will sell them?
Thats the question.
As I said, it could have been just that, but maybe he really did intend to let players have some match time.

The player request comes from the fact that he wants hungry players as some may be okay with winning the league. Of course that can also mean a better B-team, so the starters will have a better chance going for CL.

We'll have to wait and see. I think most players can be sold to mid table teams, but there are a lot of bumps there. Nobody wants to leave the champion team, just see our strikers.
@Jujex

the real question would be... "Would Marotta bought someone?" Xp

back to the topic. Well i think we the current core of the player and 2nd string player like forzajuve mentioned above..we're good enough to defend the league title...but challenging in UCL is another matter
@Jujex - that is my fear. Seeing as you are most in tune with out financial situation surrounding the squad, think about this:

- While out revenues have been steadily increasing since 2011, to really maintain the income levels required, we need to at least get to the quarter finals of champions league on a consistent basis to have any hope of creating the European powerhouse we should be.
- Champions League success will also drive interest from better players who want a chance at the ultimate prize
- If we consistently get that far into CL, we will continue to be reliant on bench players to contribute in big ways across at least two, hopefully three fronts.
- As the squad stands today, we can not afford injuries to certain players because of the dimension they bring in the bigger games (BBC, Pirlo, Vucinic, and god forbid Vidal). We have been fortunate the last two seasons with injuries but can we rely on that to last?

Now comes the financial issues and the hurdles Marotta needs to deal with:
- He has already stated that "Juve is not a selling club". This has proven to be an issue for us over the last 4 years (Felipe Melo, Iaquinta, etc.) because we keep hi salaried players on the books when we should strongly consider selling them and dealing with the negative arbitrage that yields.
- We have 21 players out on loan and another 13 players on co-ownership...we only have 27 players on our entire roster!!! Including those like Anelka and Bendtner.
- Understand that this co-insides with investment strategies over the long term, but at what point do you say, lets do everything we can to make significant investments THIS YEAR and not spread out mediocre investments over SEVERAL years.
- With key starters being acquired on free transfers (Pirlo, Pogba, and Llorente), where are the transfer funds going that we did not spend on them?
- If salaries is our issue, sell players in incorporate there salary quota and transfer sum into the salary budgets.
- If the transfer budget is the issue, SELL PLAYERS. I know we might not get much for them but SOMETHING helping the support the acquisition of a useful player is better than not having a non-utilized player we are paying to do NOTHING!


I know most of you already knew that stuff but putting it all out there really makes you wonder what plan management is executing.

I am a HUGE FAN of our club become financially responsible to ensure we don't become an Italian Leeds United, but when does PRESERVATION take a back seat to AMBITION?
+2
To be fair, by not being a selling club, he meant that we do not sell our stars to get money. Players like Iaquinta and Melo were for sale for years, but deals couldn't be made.

Whatever happens, we need to make some kind of significant signing this summer considering the extra money we have from CL, the 2nd year of stadium income and once again money from a title win.
Arsenal to sign Lichsteiner for 12mill?
+1
Doubt it. But with the English media creating all the "definative" transfer market news, I think Lichtsteiner, Pirlo, Vidal, Marchisio, Vucinic, and Pogba will all be playing for an English club by next season.

Until a contract is signed and the official announcement is made, it's all a bunch of hyper-speculation.
And today again Marchisio to UTD.
mere rumors or just a "pop-corn" news. Like us too...when we were linked with all the players on the planet XD
