Liviero to Juve…Stabia
January 24, 2014
20 year old left-back, Matteo Liviero has moved to Juve Stabia on loan. The fullback who has represented Italy at every level from U17-U21 started the season at Serie B newcomers Carpi, after a solid previous campaign with Perugia in Lega Pro. With only 3 appearances in the league and 1 in the coppa, it […]
Kevin Trapp
January 19, 2014
Whilst we continue to be rebuffed in our attempts to prise promising defender Marc-Oliver Kempf from the Eintract nursery, one of his team-mates, Kevin Trapp, appears high on our hit-list and eager to sign up for next season. Spoken of by some as one of the best keepers in the bundesliga, Trapp is 23 years […]
Bouy back in business
January 18, 2014
Former Ajax Academy star Ouasim Bouy has moved on loan to bundesliga side Hamburger SV. After impressing greatly in Holland, we snapped up the Dutch U19 international attacking midfielder in late January of 2012. Involved with the primavera for the remainder of the season, he scored several goals and impressed with his creativity and maturity. […]
Mercato whispers in the wind…
January 15, 2014
We appear to be closing in on an investment in Italy U21 rightback, Davide Zappacosta, 21 years old, who is a first team regular for Avellino in Serie B. Able to play higher up the field as a right midfielder, the youngster is solid in the tackle and a threat moving forward. Since been called […]
Mein Kampf or Marc-Oliver Kempf???
January 11, 2014
The German U19 international centre-back. Marc-Oliver Kempf, whom we were close to signing last Summer, seems set to move to Turin on loan this month. After negotiations fell flat last August, an agent involved the talks, Mino Grillo explained the situation as follows… “Juve told him that he would be part of the first team squad […]
Simone Pepe back from the dead…
December 15, 2013
A certain Simone Pepe played his first 90 minutes in many moons, when turning out for our Primavera yesterday in their irritating 1-0 defeat to Sampdoria. With all the talk of our lack of wingers…it seems positive to see Simone deployed out wide (in a 3-5-2) and come through unscathed. Expect a detailed update on […]
Copenhagen 1-1 Juventus
September 19, 2013
There is much to be said in favour… …of sticking to a system which has claimed the lion-share of two domestic titles and laid the foundation for our re-emergence as any kind of force in Europe last season. Its too hard to even write the word LION without Llorente appearing in my thoughts and demanding a mention… […]
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 […]
