I said 467 live matches.

Ahem, I should have though 1 and a bit live games a week would be par for the course around here, but perhaps I'm missing something. Not, of course, that I don't believe that you have a huge schlong and all.

Official: Caceres is Bianconero

[quote]Martin Caceres has joined Juventus on loan from Barcelona with an option to buy for £9m, but teammate Nicola Legrottaglie isn’t happy.

The defender is already in training with his new teammates and passed his medical, but Barça waited until last night to confirm the transfer had been completed.

Caceres will spend a year on loan in Turin and Juve can exercise their option to buy him outright for £9m, announced the Spanish club.

Nearly another £1m is payable depending on the performances of the 22-year-old Uruguayan in this opening season.

Caceres can play in central defence or at right-back, which is most likely where he will be used due to the presence of Giorgio Chiellini, Fabio Cannavaro and Legrottaglie.

The new venue is already under construction on the site of the old and unpopular Stadio Delle Alpi.

“Visiting the building site of the stadium I was amazed at the quality of the work, which is advancing well within the agreed schedule,â€

[Carlo Romano]

A new era in Italy...where once owning your own was seen as an unnecessary expense, now it's being increasingly viewed as the way to go!

I'm not sure just who plans to have their own stadium other than Juve and Roma at the moment but we all know these things are generally a case of just taking one to start and the rest follow on.

So what of Torino, i granata? I don't imagine they have the money right now. Presumably they will continue on in L'Olimpico?
