I would kill to have James Rodriguez at Juve. Link up with Dybala, Berardi, Pogba and Mandzukic... Him playing behind the strikers but in front of the rest of the mid would make me cry.

James is the most complete player in La liga, he tries to play the beautiful game but unfortunately he's stuck with a team full of egos.
Pogba-Vidal-Marchisio-Pirlo-Rodriguez.. Deeeez nuts.

I know. At the world cup the kind of space he created was insane. He does similar things for Real, but I think he's more handicapped by the fact that Perez wants Ronaldo/Bale with the ball all the time. Doesn't give James enough creative freedom. At Juve he'd be one of the focal points of our attack and would fit in with the average age of the players we're bringing in.
I would like to have a good midfielder like Pogba at Barcelona, we are actually missing nothing at our camp except for a bit of strength and that would literally be the cherry on top of the cake for us, maybe its going to happen though, no one knows.

I'm so conflicted about Pogba it's insane. Only because my favourite club is Juve and my second is Barcelona. He'd be playing for my favourite teams regardless. But a huge part of me wants him to stay at Juve. The club will be in great condition whether we sell him or not (keep his talent or spend the massive amount of money we'd get for him), but I think he has what it takes to become a symbol at Juventus.
Looks like manure are going to spend big this summer about 150m according to the mirror. Ramos is apparently already taking english lessons.
What's your opinon on the Juventus corruption scandal in 2006?

Already proven to be a farce. Juventus were framed by the FIGC and the rest of Italian football. If you'd like more I could get the article prove it. We're already suing the FIGC for millions upon millions for doing it.
Italy is pretty mafia heavy and I heard alot about Juventus being corrupt, I heard that Marchisio wanted to leave a couple of years ago and he got threatened that they would ruin his life if he does. Mind you I heard that not saying it's true and that I believe it. I would love to read the article if you can find it.

Never happening.

It's a very long read. I'll sum up the main point but you should read it anyways.
Basically, match-fixing as an actual offence is under "Rule 6". They convicted Juve under Rule 1 (wrongfully). But, they literally made up a new rule to make it look like Juventus actually match-fixed. They said that Juve violated Rule 1 twice, and that it was equal to Rule 6. Hence the scandal.
And I don't deny that it is mafia heavy in Italy. But it's corrupt everywhere. Spain definitely, you just won't see them acting against it because they need to keep Real and Barcelona at the top. Italy is the only league where they're trying to combat it. The Marchisio thing is a complete lie. He's been at Juventus since he was 6 years old.

Juve since I was 2. Barcelona since I was 7. So basically the same time since I'm a year older than you. And there's no need to joke around like that. You just come off to me as one of those new age bandwagon fans.
Okay interessting, I will read through that article thanks!
Ye, spain is definitely corrupt aswell, it's just more behind closed doors. I always thought that the combat against the mafia in Italy is a farce and everyone seems to be ok with it :lol
I know a few Juventus supporters in Italy and one friend actually told me that his sister is pretty close to Marchisio and that Marchisio himself said he wanted to leave but they don't let him. Oh well people talk alot I just thought that, with all that mafia involved in football, it could be true. That's why I asked you what you think about the scandal and the mafia since you're a Juve fan.
What a great read, I'm baffled, cheers mate. Never knew that Inter more or less set all the other teams up and that Juve took the bullet for all the teams involved even though they were the least guilty of them all.

Nobody! That's just how it seems. At least you're not as bad as Versta.
Pretty much. We took a bullet for the rest of the league. We were probably going to be the dominant team of the rest of the decade if I'm being truthful. Del Piero, Nedved, Zambrotta, Ibra, Buffon, Cannavaro, Thuram. We were stacked.

I know
But at least we're winning now. Now we have a true wonder kind as well. Domenico Berardi. Only 20 years old. Has more goals at 20 years old than Messi did in his first two seasons in a top 4 league. He's going to be staying at Sassuolo on loan for one more season most likely, but his talent is sublime. This to add on to Pogba, Dybala, Marchisio, Vidal, Bonucci etc. We're not only winning, but also building for the future. Hopefully we can enter the big 3 of Bayern, Barca and Real Madrid and make it a big 4.
