Ah... Its de javu
all over again. Juventus sits
comfortably on top of the league on New Year Holiday. Its a
good sign isn't it? I'm afraid maybe you and I
are wrong. Why?. This end year term are completely different
than last year. Juve still competing in
three competitions (Champions League, Coppa and of course Serie A). Let's compare it to the last year campaign
which Juve put (maybe) 70% of their concentration on Scudetto's title race.
I have to say its miraculous we've come this far based on
how Antonio Conte's attacking department still crippling to make a way to
converts a dozen chance into a potential rette.
Alessandro Matri and co just scoring 18 goals on this half term in Serie A. Mind you, its nearly 50% of Juventus's goal
and it seems everything is going to be allright. But no, it isn't, the average goal per minute that been made by
the Turin attacking sides
(yes, i'm already counting Bendtner too) are still too low and the sums up of the goals got rosed
up thanks to the hattrick of
Fabio Quagliarella against Udinese and made him as a topscorer club with 6 goals.
We already knew
that if Conte and the directors want to make sure Juve' step in the Champions
League, then Bianconeri must sign a world class striker whom can put fear around enemy's difensore, Cavani, Zlatan, and Falcao
are the rare examples for that type. Let's we agree that sometimes Mirko Vucinic can be such an
irritatingly lazy up front while Giovinco struggle to slip in behind enemy's
defensive line.
Which it can be worse when in the same time,
trio MVP (Marchisio,Vidal, Pirlo) can't dominate the field (remember Juve's game with Inter and Milan
In the rarity of identically prima punta like Cavani whose available in the
market and the huge amount of unused
striker. I doubt Paratici and Marotta can add
the quality in front on this window as Cavani reluctant to go from San Paolo
(at least for now).

| I doubt Fernando Llorente will join Juve this Winter |
While the
possibility of signing the 24 year old are nearly impossible, Juve now try to
refresh their interest of Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente. Although Juve reported already made an offer
for the Spaniard, the agreement between two clubs are far from complete. I had to say that Juve will not swoop Llorente whose contract at Atleti
will end in this summer by this window. They
will try to get him on this winter but only for looking an agreement to join
Juve in the next season.
If this
scenario will smoothly played according to plan , so the next question is who
can temporarily add the quality of the strikers for the next 19 games? I'm
afraid there isn't a lot of option for this winter. If this situation goes on and on and on
again like this. One by one the doors
are closing but when god closed the doors. . what the hell, you already know the rest. . . . .
Hey, Marco Boriello is now
available (again) !
(Note: It
would be atrociously funny if we signed Borriello on loan again, and he
won his second consecutive Scudetto with Juventus. )
