Juventus Youth Update
September 1, 2013
To cover each and every movement in and out of our youth sector – the loans, co-owns, sales, contract terminations and purchases – in any great detail would take longer than this Sunday afternoon affords me. And so rather than try to fit a mountain into a mole-hill I will focus on the main players […]
Should Mirko Vucinic be sold?
July 23, 2013
Mercurial he may be… and at times a wonderful footballer, but of all our forwards he is the one I would prefer to sell. Given his high amount of selections, clearly he works hard in training and Conte values his technique, in particular his talent for linking the play from midfield to…well mainly forward running […]
Macek and Arras. The latest rising stars to join Juve…

Roman Macek – Juve find their heir to Nedved’s crown… A 16 year old Czech wonderkid winger, with blond hair and the blessing of Nedved himself has been snapped up for Juve and will join the club this month.

Juventus sign Younes Bnou Marzouk
July 23, 2013
Continuing the solid scouting and procurement policies instigated by Marrotta and Paratici, Juve appear to have picked up another young star by signing 17 year old Moroccan forward, Younes Marzouk, from Metz of France. Younes recently played a leading role in his country’s path to a respectable 4th place after losing on penalties in the […]
Youth mercato UPDATE
July 23, 2013
Alberto Masi’s loan to Ternana has morphed into a co-ownership agreement with 2m EUROS heading our way. Its a show of their confidence in his present and future ability and I see this a positive move for the player and for us. The youngster had these words of warmth for the move- ‘” After six months […]
Youth Prospects update from the tropics…
July 6, 2013
With our ‘sunset’ trip to Angkor Wat seeming suddenly like a bad idea, given the deluge which has just erupted from the clouds above, and the deafening thunder sending shivers through the nervous systems of all those of a superstitious leaning, it seems a great time to pull out this haggard netbook and thread together […]
Derby della Mole – Torino 1 – 1 Juventus
April 30, 2013
Torino certainly aimed for a counter-attacking routine, hopeful of taking advantage of whatever chances came their way through the rebounds of our constant, ponderous attacking play and possession. I saw that same predictable pressure game, where we move the ball left, then right, then left, then right, trying slowly, slowly to find a through ball. […]
Youth Spotlight – Where Next for the finest of our youth?
April 20, 2013
With the end of season curtain finally appearing on the horizon and first team issues now solely focused upon retaining the scudetto with a handful of games to spare, its high time I returned to the subject of our youth prospects…rather than solely reporting on their various achievements I will run the rule over […]
Conte’s Juventus – Past, Present and Future…
April 11, 2013
Two years ago, Juventus were approaching the final stretch of a second campaign of failure on the trot. Sitting 7th in the league on 48 points. Already bundled out of the Europa competition through a wretched string of six draws placing us 3rd in a group which included Lech Poznan , Red Star Salzburg and […]
Bayern Munich v Juventus Champions League quarter-final PREVIEW
April 1, 2013
Every Juventini who witnessed the barbed 1-2 away victory over Inter in the derby d’italia last Saturday will be confronting Tuesday’s champions league quarter-final with confidence, excitement yet also a hint of trepidation. Whilst its fair to conclude that we never looked like losing, those with any objectivity must concede that the victory was in […]
