yeah also the rise in hooliganism Galliani was attacked by Roma fans at the presidents funreal people throwing bottles of water and booing and a ex Juve player whos managing Cagliari i think was assualted by some Lecce fans.

Juves signings havnt been too bad.

Alex Manninger (GK)
Olof Mellberg (DF)
Dario Kneževi? (DF) Loan
Christian Poulsen (MF)
Albin Ekdal (MF)
Amauri (FW)

plus i think Andrade has fully recovered now.

One problem though too many top class strikers.

Del Piero, Amauri, Trezuguet and Iaquinta

manninger, the guy who was an arsenal reject a decade ago!!
mellburg hes ok but no way juve standards
poulsen is ok i guess, but hes just avg imo.
ive heard about amauri he sounds good.

but its just the fact they bought saliham.. tiago..and i cant still believe how much they paid for momo sissoko.

Couldn't agree with you anymore on the Juve part. They played great football last season without a team of stars. They just know how to play together and they have some talented young players in Giovinco, Chiellini, etc. They'll be in the top 3 again.

As far as Inter is concerned, I think they made the right decisions. Mourinho needs his Essien at Inter so he bought Muntari. He might not be as good as Essien right now but he's a hell of a player. The team is already loaded in just about every position so there's no need for drastic changes. They've always needed to get a bit more tactical and now they'll get that with Mourinho.
