The Old Lady are going through a crisis in the striker department as a result of which the club felt the need to go for a loan move for a recognized striker.
Juventus transfer chief Beppe Marotta is confident of signing Fernando Llorente for 2013-14, but insisted that Edinson Cavani is an impossible dream.
Juve are believed to be on the verge of agreeing personal terms with the Spanish international who will be available on a Bosman from Athletic Bilbao in June.
Le passioni bisogna amarle. Bisogna saper individuare il confine tra lealt e comportamenti di puro killeraggio. Al presidente dell’Internazionale f.c. Massimo Moratti, questo confine sfugge. Oppure sfugge la passione? Le parole, il lessico, hanno un significato ben preciso. Si può correre il rischio di essere fraintesi, però il significato è netto.
2010-2011 Recap Following many changes both in management with the appointment of newly elected
president, Andrea Agnelli, followed by General manager Beppe Marotta and manager Luigi Del Neri,
the trio brought no fewer than twelve new faces to the squad that had already come off from a
disappointing season under former manager Ciro Ferrara, and his predecessor Alberto Zaccheroni.
At the end of a disappointing season this week has been a busy time for Juventus Director General
Beppe Marotta who, after sacking coach Gigi Delneri has also seemingly sealed the arrival of club
idol Antonio Conte to replace him. Yesterday the club announced, via their official website, the
free transfer of Italian World Cup winner Andrea Pirlo who left Champions Milan last week.

He says very little, outside of the bland metronomic answers we come to expect from men in his
position so when Juventus Direttore Generale Beppe Marotta gave an honest and forthright interview
with Corriere dello Sport, we should be all ears. The site purposely avoids transfer rumour and

"For me, winning isn't something that happens suddenly on the field when the whistle blows and the
crowds roar. Winning is something that builds physically and mentally every day that you train and
every night that you dream" Emmitt Smith They left the field to rapturous applause having paid
respect to their fans under the curva Scirea.
After the sad news that Fabio Quagliarella will be out for the rest of the season, Juventus got
a replacement in record time. It's Luca Toni who will be replacing Quagliarella (out for 4-6 months
with a torn cruciate knee ligament), the World Cup winner leaving Genoa to sign a one and a half
year contract with the bianconeri.
Juventus are a club with plenty of history and trophies, and while the chairman Andrea Agnelli
is trying to return to the golden days of winning, it will take some time.
The project of the bianconeri was beginning to take shape: Luigi Delneri as the coach along with
Beppe Marotta as the sporting director, some smart signings and qualification into the Europa
League.
