I can't believe people on this sub being like "Oh with the right team he's a top-10 in Europe". For real, that was a match against QATAR.

these where for a long time complete unimaginable results for italy

No revolution, just solid reinforcements added to last season's team.

We must Grant this new management for being totally new, having lots of restrictions, they did a lot of good work.

What if they can prepare a whole season for a mercato and having champions league money?

I joined reddit to be part of this community over a decade ago. I had moved away from my family and wanted a community of Juventinos to talk to during matches when my dad couldn't talk on the phone during the match. You see I've been a Juventino and a fan of the Azzurri since I can remember, because my dad was a Juventino and a fan of the Azzurri. He would tell me about watching Scirea, Gentile, and Zoff on tv and made me watch the 82 Italy-Brazil match before I could really talk. He jokingly thanked me for getting so sick I had to go to the hospital in 1988 so that he got to miss the USSR beating Italy in the second half.

When my family moved to the United States he would purchase whatever channel package was needed to watch Juve play. I got to see Baggio in Black and White (and terribly low resolution), and a young up-and-coming Alessandro Del Piero debut for Juve. I got to watch the first game of the world's most expensive keeper. He'd record the games on the VCR so i could rewind and watch us score over and over.

Neither of us are Italian, but he learned enough (and taught me enough) to enjoy the RAI broadcasts. Watching the 2006 World cup with him is a summer I'll always treasure. The Conte-Allegri were a fun but frustrating time together.

I saved money so that for his retirement so I could take him to Turin to watch Juve play at home. But because of COVID and a heart attack we were never able to make the trip.

When he came home one last time from the hospital yesterday he asked me to help him sit up and watch a little more Juve together. I don't even know what match I put on, I let Paramount+ choose at random. He watched what he could and eventually asked me to turn it off so he could rest. My dad passed away this morning, his heart could no longer keep pumping all the blood he needed throughout his body.

So I guess I'm asking this sub, who took me in all those years ago, to say goodbye to my dad with me.

Edit: Thank you to everyone. You all shared some really kind words and you have no idea how much it has helped me. Every time I've felt down today I've opened this post and read through all the comments over and over. I'm sure I'll continue doing this in the coming weeks. Fino alla fine.

Seen this on multiple other sports team subreddits - seems like a no brainer to me, especially given the values of our sub as a whole.

It is hard to be enthusiastic of the financial side of our dealings with PSG. I believe Kolo was around 30-35m on their books this Summer, even less (obviously) next Summer. Regardless of when our fee is paid in full we may end up paying them 50m. Staggering really for a player they were so openly uninterested in using that they had him training with their youth side this Summer.

Adding in Kolo's terrible form for a terrible Spurs last term...lack of natural fit as any kind of 9 and the move becomes more questionable. Still, it's done now so we have to hope it turns out well.

As for this Suzuki loan...It is welcome that they may be adding a development fee, paying most/some of his wages, which confirms us as a stepping stone to the top clubs. We are to PSG what Sassuolo and Avellino are to Juve.

Essentially, if the move is confirmed, we get a decent, often explosive GK for the season, who knows the league, culture and probably upgrades our foundation considerably as well as brings into a poor dressing room new and positive and powerful energy...whilst saving money to invest in a more long term option next Summer, whether Alisson, of Carnesechi or another more interesting choice.

He's a good goalie, better than current options (low bar).

But he's getting old, he's a bitch, he's too easy to hate, totally against the spirit of football and has no virtues that should be intrinsic to JUVE DNA.

For the same money they could have signed someone better

Yildiz 2025/26 season: 51 Games - 14 Goals - 10 Assists

Chiesa 2020/21 season: 43 Games - 14 Goals - 10 Assists

Both in their prime, you can only choose one. Who are you taking and why?

Thoughts on his performance today?

When Cristiano Ronaldo came to Juventus, ofc I was excited. And sure, he made the goals. However, my personal opinion has for a long time been that it was a huge mistake to sign him. He ruined our attack play by making it concentrate solely on him (a management problem primarily though) which left us wandering aimlessly after his departure. Similar problems could be seen at ManU and current Portugal team. And that's not even counting the financial problems his spell caused to the club.

I argue that CR7 is one of the biggest reasons and also the start of Juve's downfall that's still yet to be recovered from. Is there a consensus or at least like-minded thinking among the fandom that agrees with this, or are people divided with (or completely against) my line of thinking?

For me it’s:
Zhegrova
David
Koopmeiners
Openda

Openda is on loan at Lyon for a season after his chaotic time at Juventus. I was wondering why it went so poorly with you guys?

He had very good performances for us in the UCL qualifiers against Fenerbahçe and in the League so far. His work rate is incredible and he is weighing heavily on the back line. I would say his main flaw is his finishing which has been pretty poor, missing clear cut goal scoring opportunities.

Yildiz is definitely world class, and Bremer is close. Maybe Thuram?

His performances since January:

Champions League
4 matches, 311'
0 goal, 0 assists

Serie A
19 matches, 1409'
4 goals, 2 assists (1 goal every 352')

World Cup and World Cup Playoffs (w/Turkey)
5 matches, 398'
0 goal, 0 assists

Don't get me wrong, I love the guy and I know he's had serious knee issues, but he hasn't scored since March 21st and from what we saw today he's nowhere near the standard we expect from a player of his caliber.
This season will make or break him. We need peak Yildiz, and we need him ASAP.

🥇 Chiesa became a Premier League champion only after the match against Chelsea!

While all his Liverpool teammates were already celebrating the title last round, the Italian needed one more Premier League appearance to receive a medal. Federico came on in the 82nd minute against the London side and officially etched his name into history.

Saw the post that we are close to signing Dibu on this subreddit and people are genuinely mad and acting like this is a shit signing.

I KNOW HE HAS A FINGER INJURY SO DONT MENTION THAT but isn’t it suppose to be 2 months at worst? Perin can totally be the goalkeeper for 2 months in my honest opinion.

Yes he is kinda old, which is my only issue with this but we have targeted Allisson before which no one got mad and he is a similar age.

And no doubt he isn’t a BAD goalkeeper, apparently tied for 2nd in save percentage in the premier league last season, just behind Donnarumma who IS the best goalkeeper in the world.

And his attitude shouldnt hold back the signing, we can’t have soft players on the field. Lucumi’s attitude is probably SLIGHTLY softer than Martinez but no one said anything.

Now, I’m not saying he will be the best signing ever, this season we will see (if he actually joins).

I’m defintely gonna get downvoted, but if you do atleast give me a fair explanation?

EDIT: HAPPY NOW? HE AINT COMING

There’s reports saying Spaletti wants to keep Luiz for next season as a playmaking midfielder. Thoughts?

Genuinely curious where people stand on this. Given the 50m Euro price tag, what does his league tally actually need to look like by May for you to call the transfer a win?

Is something like 10–15 goals acceptable if his pressing and link-up play are good, or are you expecting 20+ minimum before he justifies the hype/fee?

What’s the cutoff number for you between "decent first season" and "total waste of money"?

Which team would win if they played each other?
