Man I wonder if they'll pay conte to break gi sinter clause. That'd be the uber saving for this window.

Enjoying this a ton.

We can build a good point total in the start of the season with our easy schedule while Juve having these enormous problems. It's not like we were convincing against Verona either but result is what counts and we have 5 points lead already.

Yep. They'll get good before you know it, building this gap is key while we can.

I wonder if the results will sour them to spend more on the market then they planned

Honest question..do you really think so?
I mean we lost two very important players, without whom we've won games last season. And we've gained Correa and Dzeko (who is still good for a few years) and gained a more humble and less centric manager who doesn't think he's God's gift to football. I'd say we are on the right track, while Juve live off of the past

Until that team is us.

This Juventus squad has a lot of problems. Patrici has absolutely destroyed that squad in the post Marotta years. The midfield has no brains or technical ability, the attack doesn't have a goal scorer, and the defense is slow. Allegri clearly is caught inbetween ideas. It's unfortunate there's an international break this week; now they have a few weeks to try and work things out.
Juventus has problems, is true. But to point the finger only on Paratici is too much! I tend to believe Agnelli and Nedved wanted more to buy Cristiano than Paratici. Marotta was against and Paratici probably only an opportunist. He smelled the occasion to take Marotta's place.
The crux of their problems lied with Ronaldo. He was too expensive for their financial possibilities. I can understand the logic behind it. Ronaldo as the last piece of the puzzle to conquer the CL. They didn't succeed (to our pleasure) but remained with the problems after such a transfer. They didn't have the money to upgrade the team. They switched Cancelo for Danilo and Pianic for Arthur. They even tried to sell Dybala to Spurs.
Now Ronaldo is gone and the problems got bigger. Their defense is old, middle kinda mess (Locatelli will help). The attack is also not settled, even if they have good players. I mean, what kind of problems could Kean solve? He will bring depth, but they really don't have a forward who could play between the CB's (maybe Morata occasionally). They have only SS.

This cushion of points is so important, let's hope it continues to grow. Their next 2 games I'm pretty sure are against Napoli and Milan. Good luck, Max :)

I’d be surprised if Juve finish lower than 2nd. The squad is too strong to finish lower (but crazier things have happened).

I suspect by January or February Allegri will have Juve playing some decent football. I hope we can build a sizeable gap before that part of the season.

Juve will be good within 5 games. My prediction. We should enjoy this ride while we can but this is still going to go down to the wire for the end of of season.

What a surprise to see Rube losing this morning. Shut down my phone on HT @ 0-1. Was 100% sure they'll turn this around. Reading now that they played doogshit, my question is? Who they are gonna sign to fix the mid? They are panicking and cornered. They have better financials after Ronaldo and can still buy midfielders and fuckers are still chasing Icardi. I can see Pjanic back 99% as Allegri likes players he knows and trusts. Experienced. Maybe Witsel too with him. Then Icardi loan if PSG let him on loan, reports are they won't , even when Wanda has agreed to fuck with almost anyone @Rube , even the janitors lol. She's so desperate for vengeance.

The clock is ticking. International break, then @Napoli , vs Milan. 2 very difficult fixtures. They could be worse than Arsenal that time.

Juve will bounce back. It’s just what they do unfortunately. But they still have issues that were often covered up by Ronaldo tbh. We’ll see what they do in the last week of the mercato. They need help in midfield more than anything but it seems all they’re rumoured for is forwards like Kean and Icardi.
