Finally the curtains have been closed on a typically lively Winter mercato for the youth sector of Juventus. As is all too often the case, there were a flurry of deals…
A full list of Juventus transfers for the January 2017 transfer window. Purchases Tomas Rincon DM/CM – EU8m Genoa (Fee could rise to 9m depending on performance) Mattia Caldara CB…
Player Ratings Buffon – Fresh from celebrating his 39th birthday, Santo Buffon enjoyed the sunshine, offered an outlet at the back to help draw out the opposition and when called…
Player Ratings Neto – Could do nothing about the superb strike from Bacca which came out of nowhere. He got down well to save from Fucka late on and finally…
Player Ratings Buffon – Largely untested, one of his quietest games for many moons. Made one routine save down low, other than which was a spectator. 6 Chiellini – Upped…
Player Ratings Buffon – Was outfoxed for the opener but should have done much better for the second. Which was basically a long pass which didn’t exactly fly in, though…
Player Ratings Neto – A spectator until the final half hour horror show. And could do very little about either goal conceded. 6 Rugani – Was tested constantly by a very…
It didn’t take long to ease past the concerns which come naturally after the Winter break. Had Higuain overdone the christmas pudding? Was Sturaro still wearing his Santa hat? Had…

With the storied Winter Champions title already sewn up with a game to spare, we welcomed an ever improving Roma side to Turin, who were placed just 4 points below…
Our heaviest defeat of the campaign, and one which whilst unexpected comes as no major surprise given the likely release of anxiety and tension born of the fine result in…
I despised Sevilla after our first encounter earlier this season. Not just Sampaoli’s face and psuedo menacing posturing in the tightest shirt of his wardrobe, but their typically Spanish theatrics.…
Player Ratings Neto – Untested, other than by one shot from range easily collected. N/A Bonucci – We had to play him, and he gave a solid showing as always,…
Player Ratings Buffon – Largely untested, as is often the case, yet could do nothing with the penalty conceded and made a solid save from close range when called upon.…
An entertaining match all round, with Lyon leaving Turin with a very hard fought and ultimately deserved point. A decent european night for the neutral, and the french, not so…
The match began with a confident, probing Napoli side eager to push us onto the back foot. Which wasn’t to be for whilst they were attacking in numbers, they were…
Little time for an in depth report as many elements are hounding me for attention, one of them holding a pigs ear between his fangs and dropping it by my…
As I noted to my english chum at work last week who was laughing at my bemoaning of Allegri chopping and changing and the complete lack of any semblance of…
