By tdf, January 29, 2014

JUVENTUS (4-3-3): Vannucchi; Tavanti, Pen, Varga, Barlocco; Emmanuello (84 ‘Roussos), Sakor (54’ Kabashi), Gerbaudo; Donis (46 ‘Buenacasa), Soumah, Mattiello. BENCH: Citti , Marin, Di Benedetto, bertinetti, Marzouk, Romagna, Slivka, Cevallos. Coaches: Andrea Zanchetta.
SCORERS: 18 ‘, 22’, 26 ‘Donis(J), 48’ Poles (S), 65 ‘De Santis (S), 68’ Soumah(J), 71 ‘(S), 92’ Miocchi (S).

BOOKED Juve: Donis, Gerbaudo, Barlocco, Tavanti.

21 goals conceded in 14 games makes far from pleasant reading. From a commanding 0-3 lead, courtesy of a wonderful hatrick from Donis, our defence capitulated in the second half. The icing on the shit-cake was the 92nd minute equalizer for 4-4.

Next up for the Primavera is the first leg of our coppa italia tie against Fiorentina.

Our latest investment finds our EUROS heading into the Palermo coffers for a 50% stake in 20 year old CB Edoardo Goldaniga. The Itay U20 starlet has been a regular in the first XI for Lega pro side Pisa and will remain at the club until the Summer.

Also signed up is French defender, Yoan Severin. At just 17 years of age, the 1.88metre tall left footed Yoan was born and bred in Lyon, where he played until moving to Evian and only yesterday, to Juve.

Lastly…we are rumoured to be pondering a move for Cameroonian wide forward Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting. Born in Germany to an native mother and father from Cameroon, the 24 year old frontman has been enjoying a solid season at Mainz and is out of contract in the Summer. And has 6 goals and 2 assists from his 17 outings (6 starts) for his club side in the bundesliga this term.

A natural dribbler (one thing our squad lacks), happiest on the left flank, capable of shooting from long range and eager to use his physicality to win duels.

Considering his age, he would surely be either an addition to the first team squad or loaned to another serie A team. The other idea is that he will prove a bargaining chip, for another team in Italy or elsewhere, who want Eric and have a player we desire.
