Juve Zeroing In On Llorente

After falling to land striker Fernando Llorente from Athletic Bilbao this summer, Juventus are expected to come back with a new offer of €6M-€7M when the January transfer window opens.

Juventus fans have been crying out for a top striker since the summer and when you look at the statistics it is amazing that Juventus are top of the league. Of the 31 goals they have scored this season, in all competitions, 17 have came from the midfield.

Juventus strikers have only scored 12 goals this season, 4 from Vucinic and Quagliarella, 3 from Giovinco (none were actually decisive) and 1 by Matri (he’s only scored 4 times in all of 2012). Read more... (301 words, estimated 1:12 mins reading time)

Inter Milan End Juve’s Unbeaten Streak

Diego Milito scored twice to end Juventus’s 49-match unbeaten Serie A run on Saturday and lift Inter Milan to within a point of the Serie A leaders.

This was an impressive win by Inter and their young manager Andrea Stramaccioni as Inter kept their composure and overcame more horrendous refereeing. Besides conceding an obvious goal inside the opening minutes that was clearly offside, the referee followed that up by not sending Juventus player Lichtsteiner off inside the opening 30 minutes. I wondered is this was not going to be Inter’s day. But the team showed great poise and character to stay in the game and not let their heads go down. Read more...

Saturday Review: Inter End Juve’s Unbeaten Streak

Diego Milito struck twice to end Juventus’s 49-match unbeaten Serie A run and lift Inter Milan to within a point of the leaders on a night when AC Milan scored five.

The Derby d’Italia could not have started better for Juve as there were ahead after only 18 seconds. But the goal was not without controversy as it Kwadwo Asamoah was beyond the last Inter defender when he received the ball from Claudio Marchisio’s touch, and it was his low cross which was met by Vidal at the far post to put the home team in front Read more...

Pogba’s Goal Keeps Juventus Top Of The Table

Paul Pogba scored deep into added time to give Juventus a 2-1 win against lowly Bologna and a four-point lead at the top of Serie A ahead of Inter Milan.

With Pogba and Andrea Pirlo in fine form, Juventus dominated the match against Bologna, but it took until the 54th minute for the deadlock to be broken, Fabio Quagliarella turning in Emanuele Giaccherini’s header across goal. With 19 minutes to go Saphir Taider beat Gianluigi Buffon at his far post to equalizer, but that just set the stage for Pogba’s dramatic winner as he turned in Sebastian Giovinco’s cross.

Marotta defends Juventus transfer policy

Juventus director general Beppe Marotta has defended the club’s transfer policy in a meeting with the club’s shareholders today.

“It’s true, errors have been made,” Marotta said.“Jorge Martinez [signed for €12m from Catania], above all, but you only make mistakes when you actually buy.

“Over the last two years we have had to oversee, not a revolution, but a significant rejuvenation. We’ve signed 22 players and you can get a few signings wrong.

“But don’t forget about the ones we got right, like Andrea Pirlo on a free, Paul Pogba and Arturo Vidal – a player we signed for €10m and one for whom we rejected an offer of €30m. Read more... (364 words, estimated 1:27 mins reading time)

Bendtner Too Good For Juventus Bench Says Agent

Nicklas Bendtner’s agent Tom Brooks has hinted that the Danish striker is considering his future after struggling for playing time at Juventus.

Bendtner joined Juventus over the summer on a loan move from Arsenal with a view to make the move permanent but he has made only two appearances for the side so far.

His agent Brooks believes that the bench role does not do justice to a player of Bendtner’s ability and commitment, while also indicating that the player is open to a switch of clubs if the situation does not change.

Brooks told TuttoMercatoWeb: Read more... (300 words, estimated 1:12 mins reading time)

Milan Extend Gap at the Top, Third Place Hunt Gets Hotter

Ac Milan extend their lead at the top over second place Juventus after the Rossoneri ease passed Lecce on Sunday with two goals from Antonio Nocerino and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while their rival picked up another draw on the road.

The results still puts those two teams ahead of the others especially after Lazio missed out on the chance to catch up with Juve after getting beaten by Bologna, leaving the third place spot under siege. Read more... (484 words, estimated 1:56 mins reading time)

Juventus Draws Again As Milan Moves Two Points Clear At The Top

Is the pressure of the title race starting to get to Juventus? It appears so as last night’s 1-1 draw with Bologna was Juve’s third success draw, the third 1-1 result. If Juve does not win the title this season they will look back at the 13 draws this season as they reason they are not champions.

This was a poor Juventus performance, especially in the first-half when Bologna went ahead through a Marco Di Vaio goal in the 17th minute. They were slightly better in the second half and when Mirko Vucinic scored in the 59th minute to tie things up I expected the Bianconeri to go on an win the match. Read more...

Roma and Juventus Share The Spoils In Rome

As one unbeaten run came to a close in England, another ws sustained in Italy as the magic hands of Italy and Juventus keeper Gianluigi Buffon earned the Bianconeri a 1-1 draw with Roma.

It’s been interesting to see how the Italian Serie A is playing out these past couples of weeks. Many did not expect the likes of Lazio, Napoli and Udinese to put up such a stiff fight for such a long time.

Juve’s latest result sees them take their unbeaten run in the league to 14 games. Folowing their result, Juve moved back to the top of the league level on 30 points with Udinese. Defending Champions Milan are in third place just 2 points of the lead. Read more... (418 words, estimated 1:40 mins reading time)

Serie A Clubs Can Now Sign 2nd non-EU Player

The poor performance by Italian clubs in Europe last season has caused the Italia football federation (IFF) to change the rules. Effectively immediately, each club in Serie A will be allowed to sign a second non-EU player.

A year ago, after Italy’s first-round exit at the World Cup, the federation reduced the number of non-EU players from two to one with the goal of giving more Italian players playing time.

But the move to help the national team backfired as no Italian club made it past the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the Round of 32 in the Europa League last season. Read more... (146 words, 1 image, estimated 35 secs reading time)
