Pre-season friendly – Cesena 0 0 Juventus
July 30, 2014
I managed to endure most of the match via a choppy set of streams, only finding the arabic option for the last 15 minutes, which was near perfect. Shame the same cannot be said of the football on show… Looking at our starting line-up of…Storari, Sorensen, Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichtsteiner, Padoin, Pirlo, Pereyra, Motta, Giovinco, Llorente…We […]
Ouasim Bouy moves on loan to Panathinaikos. Gabriel Appelt to Pescara
July 28, 2014
Bouy was doing very well indeed for Brescia until he damaged his ACL in a friendly in early 2013. It took him a long time to recover and last season we decided to keep him at the club to ensure he regained full fitness before sending him out on loan again too soon. He appeared […]
In defence and support of Beppe Marotta and Andrea Agnelli
July 27, 2014
We most probably could afford to compete with (at a large risk) some of the wages offered by the richer clubs at the definite expense of missing out on other purchases BUT our budget is aimed at breaking even in the future, of self financing (which seems a perfectly reasonable aim, as a business, as a club)…we […]
Juve lose first game under Allegri (Juventus 2-3 Luccento)
July 26, 2014
Much excitement preceded the first fixture of any kind since Allegri picked up the reins left by recently departed Antonio Conte. With the internationals involved in the world cup still absent, the squad was rather thin hence the involvement of primavera left back Barlocco and fringe players from the seniors. Unfortunately the match began badly […]

July 25, 2014
Juventus have picked up Adnan Curovic on loan for the season from Danish side Lyngby. The 16 year old has played 6 times for the Danish U16 side and appears, as can be seen in the video below, comfortable on the ball and a strong physical presence. Adnan is our second signing from Lyngby in […]

Juventus Transfer news and Primavera update
July 19, 2014
After a week dominated by the departure of Conte, it is welcome news to find the mercato bringing us new recruits to ponder along with our future formation and system under recently installed manager, Massimo Allegri. Firstly, as many expected, the spaniard Alvaro Morata has arrived from Real Madrid. The 21 year old cost EU20m and […]
Final thoughts on Conte Departure
July 18, 2014
It astonishes me to find a fan as committed and intelligent as yourself seriously suggesting that Beppe Marotta is to blame for the recent upheaval and so heavy is his culpability that he should be shown the door. The vast majority of the players who have brought us such brilliant domestic success over the last […]
Allegri is the new Juve Manager – Early thoughts
July 16, 2014
Far from excited about the arrival of Allegri but the situation could be worse. Also, other than the half season before he lost his job at Milan, he did well enough at AC, especially considering the power struggle with Galliani and dear Silvio, and the hotchpotch collection of parts which would clearly not fit well […]
Con Te Partito – Epitaph of Il Mister
July 16, 2014
And so it has happened. With trademark drama and a sense of timing which must be labelled dangerously unprofessional, Il Mister has left the premises. Whilst the decision has come as a surprise, it can be no shock given the theatrics witnessed at the close of last season. During that time, a special occasion when […]
