Jovetic is a great player, not sure we need him, though. If Conte wants to use a 4-3-3(or 4-2-3-1/4-3-1-2) then Jovetic would fit in perfectly. But we just got Giovinco back, I don't see a need for Jovetic. Unless we're really hoping to send Giovinco to napoli to get Cavani... Which I really hope isn't the case. We desperately need a target man, I think RVP or Dzeko are the best/only realistic options.

Pazzini is on the market, but I think management is looking a bigger name.

Yeah... I guess we could follow Prandelli's small forward line example.

Pazzini, Krasic to swap clubs?
By Football Italia staff

Giampaolo Pazzini and Milos Krasic are speculated as being potential bargaining chips in a proposed swap deal between Inter and Juventus.

Pazzini is reportedly one of the Nerazzurri’s squad members who they have identified as on a high wage and available for sale.

Tuttosport are suggesting today that Juve’s known search for a striker this summer transfer market has led them back to Pazzini, who they previously targeted during his Sampdoria days.

With Krasic having previously been linked with a move in the other direction, rumours are circulating that a swap deal for the players is on the cards.

It would be a great pick up imo. I've always rated highly.

Yeah, I like Pazzini and thought Juve should have gone for him rather than Matri when they were both moving that January.

Presumably Juve would only move for him if they manage to convince Matri to go to Fiorentina as part of a deal for Jovetic.

Would jovetic play as a striker, SS, or treq if this sale went through

[red]

Unclear.

I believe he plays SS with Vucinic CF for Montenegro, so Juve may do that when playing 3-5-2.

Don't know which way round the two of them would be if Juve played 4-3-3.

[DrSchad]

I've always been very high on Jojo. He's young and would create a potentially droolworthy partnership with gio for the future of the club provided that Jovetic stays injury free.

[red]

I'm not convinced of how campatible Jovetic and Giovinco are.

[DrSchad]

Within the 4-3-3 couldn't a trident be employed with Giovinco-Vucinic-Jovetic

[Bagg10]

Ehh... Vooch isn't exactly a guy I'd put at the head of a three man forward line, plus I thin the 3-5-2 formation is the way to go.

[red]

One way or another, I can't say I like the idea of Juve signing someone like Jovetic rather than a prima punta.

[red]

Juve being heavily linked with Armero.

[Bagg10]

It seems like a done deal. Solid squad player, not sure how much quality he adds.

[red]

He'd be Juve's best option for LWB when playing 3-5-2.

When did Udinese become Juventus's feeder club?

[red]

It's quite a turnaround from the last few years.

The D'Agostino negotiations were ridiculous and Udinese ended up losing out by playing hardball.

Even last summer there was no hint of favouring Juve when they and Napoli were both looking at Inler.

Does Juve have a team to compete in the CL?? Possibly, if they can be well coached and condition they could make a semi-final appearance. With all these transfers, I think Juve can repeat the scudetto easily. I may be getting ahead of myself here but if Milan are relying on Pato for goals, they are mistaken. They've made themselves considerably weaker. Juve should do what they can in the CL but really focus on the scudetto again. It is a great time since they have the depth and talent this time around. They had a weak bench last season, let's see what they can do when there's quality off the bench and the coach has a good squad rotation amongst 3 tournaments. It is just a shame that Juve haven't picked up that many Italian players. The Italian talent is going out while the foreign talent is coming in. Should be a great season. Let's see what trick they have up their sleeve. I think they only spent about 25-30 million so far on 3 players.
