Not really the same is it...

Who are you responding to?The thing I hate about silly season is you can't really talk shit. These signings are like armor for Arsenal fans, like it's protection from banter. They forget what happens when actual football is played. When the season starts and you're on the wrong side of another 6-0, things will go back to normal.
You have to understand where Juventus come from as a club. Historically, we've never been a spending club. The Agnelli family, our owners, are one of the richest families in Italy (and elsewhere I suppose). But they also own Fiat, a hugely influential and politicized company that has seen its fair share of ups and downs (more downs than ups) over the past 100+ years of continued exsistence. The Agnellis, the recently(ish) departed Giovanni and Gianni especially, have always had this - for the lack of a better expression - aristocratic-progressive way about them. Yes, we're rich & powerful, but spending 50 billion lire on a football player, when hundreds of Fiat workers live in constant fear of getting sacked, just wouldn't do.Okay, that may be romanticizing it a bit, but you get the gist of it. And so they've always financed Juve, always with moderation. The 90s saw a slight change of course. The Agnellis decided that they wanted Juve to become a proper self-sustaining club (or as close to anyway), since they had enough problems with Fiat. Enter "La Triade" - Moggi, Giraudo & Bettega. For a while there we were doing great, business was booming, Serie A was at the top.Besides, it's cheaper to just bribe the refs, amirite?
Then the big recession of Italian football started. Then came Farsopoli, which was another huge blow both to our club and calcio in general. All the while the Abramovics and other ultrarich oilgarchs came out of the woodwork and started pouring money into football and there's no way a self-sustaining club of our mould could ever compete with that. As far as Juve's ownership goes, Gianni and Giovanni Agnelli, both true to God Juventini in love with their father's club, passed away, and the company went to the other brench of the family, the Elkanns. John Elkann doesn't give a shit about Juventus and would rather invest 400M in fucking cricket (true story) or F1 / Ferrari than spend a tenth of that on Juve. Lapo Elkann ... nevermind. Andrea Agnelli, our current president, is a Juventino through and through, but one without the wallet. Could Exor, the investment company controlled by the Agnelli family, blow 100M on Juve on a yearly basis? Easily. Will they? Absolutely not. And so here we are today. Going by on what we make in a decadent league, with next to no help from our owners.
It's easy (and fun!) to blame it all on poor Marry, but our problems reside much further above.
Considering the Adidas deal they just inked, Nike went the lazy route to spite them I think.
PS: DHL wasn't shit this time around and got my package to me safely but we'll see how next month goes when I get another Amazon Japan shipment...
By the way, there is a fine line between "banter" and shitposting.
But Viva wasn't shitposting at all tbf. I find all the bantz to be funny anyway, no need to be a Debbie downer over it.By the way, there is a fine line between "banter" and shitposting.

It's in their best interest to make the best kit possible because the only way they will receive the money back is by selling as many shirts as they can.
They just came up with a shit design.
Serious question, where can I, or can I, get a on demand subscription to Premier League via the Web?
I do not have a cable TV service, only high speed internet.
Thanks ahead of time!

Just calling a spade a spade.
Didn't intend to derail the thread or anything, but thought it needed to be pointed out. Cus', in all honesty, it's not really working if it's completely transparent.
Hi.Viva
Messi is a great player, but if he couldn't dribble or shoot he wouldn't be.
I don't keep responding to it?If it's not working why do you keep responding to it
Take away messi's speed and he is still great. Take away his shooting and he is still great. Totti hasn't had speed for 10 years and is still great.
You just have to look at Michael Owen. A player whose speed was his biggest attribute and when that was gone he was finished.
Theo has no skill or technique. His passing and crossing are average and he got a lot of assists because of RVP finishing skills.

I addressed it there and rarely quote him when he's playing the role of Archbishop of Banterbury.
And I wasn't even referring to Viva with that post anyway!
Laboured's trolling always comes off as Laboured trying to get a pat on the head and a "well done, son" from his dad(Viva)
Daddy Viva.
Laboured is definitely the sidekick.

Do chevy even sell cars in the UK? Cant ever remember seeing one when I lived there.
The previous quote, mamacita!Who else trolls with laboured?!
Right we better leave this.I wouldn't say it's trolling tho if it's the truth.

Lol as normal you're in for a surprise.Why is Theo getting all excited about Debuchy signing for us? Theo is never gonna start for us again.
I honestly like everyone in this thread.

His best season was 2012-2013. RVP wasn't at the club...
I don't see your point. He has speed. Who cares what kind of player he would be without it. He will probably be sold in a year anyway. I agree he is limited, but he is good at what he does and we need a player like that in our squad.
