My friend just ran into Juve filming a Jeep commercial in Philly and got a pic with Chiellini.

I hope your friend did a pose where it looked like he was biting Chiellini's arm.

Chievo might not have to lie about their finances anymore, now that they're hosting Ronald's first Serie A appearance.

So I can't find my post, but I remember last year when I bought this av, I noted that the previous 2 avs I bought led to that player getting transferred out at the end of the season (Pogba and Lemina). And now, well...

Let's just say I won't be getting a Ronald or Dybala av once fatty Gonz is shipped out.

You think he's gonna go to Milan? I keep reading that Milan are (wisely) holding out for Caldara. Then again

Lol

I think it's a toss up between Milan and Chelsea right now. The Bonucci situation makes Milan a lot more likely than if he wasn't pushing for a return to Juve.

If Gonz leaves I do hope it's to Milan rather than Chelsea, would be a fun bit of drama for the league :)

Apparently Milik managed to injure Zielinski in today's training by kicking a ball from under his foot, which caused his ankle to twist. He'll be out for two weeks. These two are like loving Laurel and Hardy. On the bright side, at least Milik finally managed to kick a ball.

Yeah, red bulls are my team and it's at redbull arena. Anyone in central NJ/northern NJ/NYC can get to redbull arena rather quickly. It's extremely accessible by rail and is one of the nicest soccer stadiums in the country. We're kind of spoiled in that way.

I’ll be on the train in about 3 hours to head up for the Red Bulls game. Newark is going to be nuts with all of the Portuguese out in force to watch Benfica

I think Cancelo is going to have a big impact on Juve. He's so much better than De Sciglio and the version of Lichtsteiner from the last 3 years. He's actually been really good as a forward in the two friendlies, I could totally see Allegri using him in that role, like he's done with Alex Sandro and Dani Alves.

I really do hope Alex Sandro stays, when Sandro and Cancelo are out there at the same time it should be a lot of fun.

My prediction for this coming season is that Gattuso will not only be eating panettone, it will be made of Leonardo's rear end.
Looking forward to it all for the first time in years :)

The Pjaca/Fiorentina deal is back on, but it's quickly becoming comedic. Fiorentina want the loan with right to purchase, Juventus want the obligation. Then Juventus opens for the right to purchase, but only if Fiorentina also buys Sturaro outright :lol:

"The FIGC tribunal has declared that the trial cannot go forward due to a procedural mistake. Prosecutors have appealed the decision"

UEFA: we are the worst governing body
TAS: hold my beer
FIGC: you are like little baby, watch this

Update on this:

The procedural mistake was that Campedelli (Chievo owner) protested that he wasn't audited prior to the indictment; thus, FIGC had to postpone the trial and had set up an audit for Campedelli today.

Campedelli sent a sick note and skipped.

So in short:

That is some Berlusconi levels of avoidance. You have to hand it to Campedelli for that excuse, it's brilliant.

I imagine it's too late to do anything now? The season has effectively started with Atalanta playing a European game and the first round of the Coppa Italia already done.

You could still give a points penalty I guess but a relegation has to be off.

I'm guessing any penalties (if any) would be applied to next season as this point (i.e. 2019/2020). It screws Crotone badly tho, who's announced an appeal; there's a chance we'll have a late Serie A start due to that.

I was wondering if they were spending or otherwise planning to use tv money from promotion already. Given the parachute payments I would think they're ok either way; I can't see them winning an appeal over this since nothing was ever actually confirmed.
