Almiron has been sold to Fiorentina. I like him a hell of a lot more than Tiago and wish he had more of a chance while he was here.
Manninger was signed to be backup keeper. he's good in case..God forbid..buffon gets hurt.

they have a friendly at old trafford tomorrow vs Man Utd

[BlackMamba]

who in manninger? i saw the transfer but have no clue. didn't juve also signed another GK last week, i don't remember his name but i don't know if he was udinese's GK some years ago.

and i also liked almirón a lot, i really don't know why he stoped playing last season even before sissoko was transfered to juve.

Almiron on loan to Viola i think .
Manninger is a good goalie , played for Arsenal back in the Seamen era , last played in Siena . He's good .

[magik9113]

The other goalie they got is Chimenti. He was backup for us about three years ago. He is horrible, i don't understand how he could even be a backup in serie A, and I'm glad we realized that he could not be our second string. The funny thing is we loaned Belardi to Udinese and they loaned Chimenti to us....it doesn't really make sense at all lol.

and yea you are right Almiron is on loan

[BlackMamba]

chimenti! that's right!!!


and well, when you have buffon you shouldn't worry about backup. what juve should start looking is for young GKs for when buffon thinks about retiring in about 3-4 years.

Champions League qualifier tomorrow vs Artmedia. idk if there will be any streams available but i hope so

[BlackMamba]

well, since it's in turin i think there could be something out there.

[Alex_De_Large]

Manninger was a really good keeper for Siena, Juventus got a nice sub. for Buffon, i still remember some Siena-Inter games when Inter didn't score thanks to him.

Juventus need some creativity in the midfield, but they will probably use this young guy, Giovinico, in the mid, in Nedved place probably.

[magik9113]

juve beat artmedia 4-0 in the first leg of champions league qualification.
Camoranesi scored first, then Del Piero with a sick shot, Chiellini with a header off a free kick, and Legrottaglie also a header off a corner in the last minutes.

[BlackMamba]

not that it wasn't obvious enough, but they are more than qualified.

[snitch55]

Hope Atletico MAdrid can beat Shalke , so we can be a second seed . Now we are in the 3rd seed ,because of low rating .

you are right, I didn't even think of that. Forza Atletico!

[Alex_De_Large]

I'am surprised Schalke04 is in the second seed in CL, i thought they would be 3 or 4, years ago Werder Bremen was 3 and they are better team.

[magik9113]

well, they got into knockout stages last year

[tkb]

Very nice start of the CL season although the competition wasn't exactly top notch.

[tkb]

Chiellini sprained his knee against Milan. Hopefully it's not serious. Easily my favorite player (him and Del Piero).

[BlackMamba]

yep, i also hope it's nothing serious, this should be his year to settle as one of the great european defenders.

[tkb]

6-8 weeks for Chiellini. Damnit!

[magik9113]

yea this sucks....but better to happen now than later i guess.
