If Buffon does not save every shot that comes his way, he is supposedly finished. Like all goalkeepers, all players actually, there are missteps here and there, but he remains a bloody good goalkeeper.
Aside from Roma two games from the end, this was our last really hard test remaining. I think we'll see a bit more rotation in Serie A as long as we remain in the Europa League. Vucinic back gives another option, now hopefully we recover the missing defenders because Bonucci, Chiellini and Caceres have been going without a break for a number of games now.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
How much you reckon they will get for him at season's end - surely 15-20 mill?
How has El Kaddouri gone? he is due to come back from loan to us at season's end - swap cerci plus cash anyone?????

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Figures being bandied around for Cerci earlier this season were at 20-25 million with many EPL clubs rumored to be interested along with Ac Milan and Juve. He has another year on his contract, so he won't be cheap + he will be picked for the World Cup, he plays well, then that could go even higher. Some talk that given the relatively good relations between Juve and Toro following the sale of Ogbonna, that Cerci as part of a deal for full ownership of Immobile could be possible.
El Khadouri started slowly but has been regularly picked and playing quite well but has had a few injuries. Torino want him permanently but unclear what Napoli wants to do. I like him and Kurtic in the midfield.
Immobile has been unreal. Still unclear where he will be, some talk that Juve will extend the co-ownership for 1 more season. He has stated that he is really happy with the faith shown in him by Ventura and the club.
A real sense of camaraderie at Torino this season, playing really well and I have finally enjoyed watching again after many bad times. I know we will lose some, but we are in a stronger position than in a long long time and I think we will attract some decent players for next season. a lot of scouting going on in Uruguay and Sth. America. All I know is we need better back up strikers than Meggiorini and Barretto.
Europa league is still a possibility, so who knows how it will pan out.
Forza Toro!!

Llorente with a double, his first goals in over a month. The first was a beauty. Comfortable win and the lead is back to eight points.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Napoli very very close to locking a deal down with the City of Naples to gain a 99 year lease of the San Paolo with a commitment of 100 million Euro to redevelop the stadium and upgrade.
Very important this goes ahead and will give the club the legs to gain yards on Juve and other European teams in terms of income and eventually financial equality.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
What a win by Torino last night, and what a way to win. Losing 1-0 in extra time first Immobile with a pure class goal in the 92nd minute beating 2 defenders and then curling it over a great keeper in Perin. Then straight from kick off, Cerci shoots from outside the box and scores an absolute screamer in the 93rd minute.
Both will be going to Brazil!

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Went to someones house to watch another game, saw the score on my phone and we were talking about how Toro have blown their Europa chance then I turn the TV on to watch last 5 mins of Napoli game and mamma mia how about the quality of the two goals!!! What a finish to the game.
We did the business, hard to get excited about games now as only the Coppa Italia to play for, only need 2 wins to make CL qualification certain.
Glad to see Higuain back in form and what a goal from Mertens.

They dont show Higuain's 3rd.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
The Derby Della Wanda provided great entertainment, just a shame Icardi was decisive.
No handshake, early Icardi goal with provocative celebration, missed Maxi Lopez penalty, a red card, a scuffle and Handanovic with three crucial saves. That's just the first half! Samp did well to the hour mark, but with 10 men it proved too difficult and Inter scored three more times.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Sad news that legendary Sampdoria boss Vujadin Boskov died yesterday, aged 82. A great coach. RIP.
The capocannoniere race continues to heat up - Toni with a double that was reduced to just one goal, then Immobile strikes vs Udinese. He leads Toni 21 to 19, with Tevez a further goal back.
As you were for the relegation battle, with all four teams losing. Now on to Sassuolo.

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Loving watching the Granata this season, another fantastic performance last night.
now in the box seat for the Europa league albeit on goal difference.
Chievo away, Parma at home and Fiorentina away. Chievo is a must win, Parma is winnable and a nice result against our good friends from the Viola and we are set!

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Didn't even have to play.
Look forward to the Supercup now.
Nice try with the 32, the club even recognises this is#30.
Will the Club place the 3rd star on the shirt next year?

Re: Serie A 2013-14
Well the best team won the title, congratulations to Juve.
Torino still on track for Europa League despite playing poorly and needing an own goal for the win (were denied a legitimate goal and fairly clear penalty mind you).
Sets up a great game against Parma in Turin this week!

My feeling is Agnelli will spin it so they have 'compromised' with the Federation and the stars will appear.
JuveX3They'll say it's 32, if they haven't already. Not sure why they'd go from 31 last year to 30.El Pibe D'Oro wrote:Didn't even have to play.

Huge game that for the Europa League, and there's one for relegation, Catania v Bologna. Should be good to see those matches.Russki Claw wrote:Well the best team won the title, congratulations to Juve.
