With the focus presently very much on potential new recruits, I feel it is worthwhile to consider those who might be offered a handshake, gratitude for their service in black and white and sent yonder. As we season upon season try to…

“When a club is faced by other competitors, especially big European clubs, it has no choice but to accept requests that run counter to any logic,” he told the newspaper. “We must regulate the role of these professionals, who are sincere but…
I cannot recall much of the second half, and its probably for the best. So kindly excuse my lack of analysis of the specific moments and movements on the field which led to the defeat which by some quarters is still being…
Italy kick off their U20 world cup campaign today with a tough fixture with Uruguay, who topped the South America qualification tournament earlier this year. The match will see recent signing Rodrigo Bentancur line up against a number of his fellow juventini.…
Player Ratings Neto – Was made to work for his money with several fairly comfortable saves in the second, yet to be fair was never truly threatened other than with the deflected Balde effort which hit the post early doors. 7 Bonucci…
We created eight very presentable chances whilst conceding just the two for the visitors. Thankfully we took two and they took just the one when we switched off for a breather as Monaco took a short corner at lightning pace. Other than…
As we approach the end of the season, it is high time for me to run the rule over our huge range of youth talents, attempt to pluck from the flock the starlets who are progressing well enough to be considered for…
Player Ratings Buffon – Could do little for either goal, other than which made a couple of comfortable saves. 5.5 Bonucci – Hardly noticed him, his mind (and body) was elsewhere. 5.5 Chiellini – Getting back to his best, made some splendid…
With the pulse finally slowing and the draw for our next opponents to soon commence, it seems prudent for me to capture and share my calmer thoughts of our recent progress in the elite continental competition of the planet. Ideally, before we…
Juventus v Barcelona Champions League – Tuesday, 11th April – 19:45 GMT – Juventus Stadium Juventus Finally the wait is almost over. A journey that we embarked upon when Conte and Agnelli arrived on the scene many moons ago, which has steadily…
Player Ratings Buffon – Was forced into a few saves from outside the box and came out sharply to smother several smart through balls. 6.5 Barzagli – Solid, if unspectacular, but far more comfortable in the middle than his recent outing on…
Player Ratings Buffon – At fault for the opener when the great man pushed away what could be caught, the ball falling to De Rossi who despatched for the equaliser on the second attempt. Had little chance with the 3rd but misjudged…
Player Ratings Buffon – Yet again a spectator for much of the game. Was not at fault for the two chances presented to the opponents and made himself big on both occasions. 6 Bonucci – Great to have him back. Strong, careful…
Player Ratings Buffon – No chance on the goal, was mainly a spectator for much of the game and made just the one comfortable save in the second half. 6 Bonucci – Fairly average performance by the big fella and yet he…
Player Ratings Buffon – Superb and faultless. Santo Buffon was in special form, making two top drawer saves, distributing the ball calmly and intelligently and organising his defence to perfection. The greatest keeper of all time remains a living legend. 10 Bonucci…
Player Ratings Neto – Other than the goal conceded, for which he had no chance, the Brazilian had not one proper save to make the entire game. Comfortable and impressive with his decision making and handling. 6.5 Chiellini – He loves these…
Player Ratings Neto – I believe the number two gatekeeper may have made one save, which didn’t trouble him in the slightest as was hit from range. Besides which he seemed fine. 6 Bonucci – Back from his stint in Solitary and…
Like many others, I was very much looking forward to this match. The first opportunity to test our new system outside of Serie A, against at least on paper, the strongest side we have faced in 2017. This was a step up…
Player Ratings Buffon – Made a couple of solid, yet comfortable saves in a match where the goal was rarely threatened. No chance on the late header. Defence was to blame for that bother. 6.5 Bonucci – Average performance from the big…
Player Ratings Buffon – Was unchallenged for much of the game and when called upon late on in the second Santo Buffon made a world class save to maintain the clean sheet. 7 Bonucci – Managed a few decent passes forward when…
