Juventus director Pavel Nedved won’t completely rule out a hitman in January, but insists everyone can contribute goals to fill the gap left by Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Old Lady visit Venezia today at 17.00 GMT, you can follow all the build-up and action as it happens on the LIVEBLOG.
Considering the Bianconeri won their Champions League group thanks to Zenit holding Chelsea in stoppages, will that further boost enthusiasm in Serie A?
“It could do, but there’s no guarantee,” Nedved told DAZN.
“We want to give consistency to our performances and results, but know how many difficulties we will face this evening.”
Goals have been a problem for Juventus this season, as Paulo Dybala and Alvaro Morata have never really been the most prolific strikers.
Should the club have brought in someone else after Cristiano Ronaldo was sold to Manchester United?
“I agree, we are behind schedule in terms of goals, but there are also attacking players like Federico Chiesa and Federico Bernardeschi who can get 10-15 goals per year.
“It’s true, we lost a player who scores 30 goals per season, but if more of them have 10-15, then we’ll have a better chance of climbing the table.”
Nedved was asked if Juventus will sign a hitman in the January transfer window, especially after reports Mauro Icardi could arrive on loan from PSG.
“The January transfer window is not an easy one to operate in, I think we must focus on getting the best out of the current players and give them confidence. We must continue to push them to do more.
“I won’t say it’s impossible we’ll see someone come to the club in January, but we have many young players who just need that little bit more to really make a difference.”
21 Capocanniere Dusan Vlahovic: I only want Juve. I don’t want to leave Italy. I don’t even pick up the phone when Arsenal calls.
Pavel Nedved: sits on his hands doing nothing about it.
This is maddening.
Hey Google Translate : “The January transfer window is not an easy one to operate in, I think we must focus on getting the best out of the current players and give them confidence. We must continue to push them to do more”
Google : We Broke
Yup. That’s exactly why. Meanwhile Vlahovic will give them an attacker for the next decade. Need to spend money to make money.
Just now Dybala left the match with injury. Will probably be out for 3 weeks, boh. Return for 30 Minutes, then go out injured when he returns.
Fiorentina knows Vlahovic is not returning. They will sell him. Juve are hedging a risk that they can get him for free.
Nedved is useless. Too blind
Do not worry Juventini. Chiesa will not stay as no CL means no money to buy outright. Sacrifices will be made and we are ready, willing and waiting to take him. We do not even need to negotiate with you as it is on a loan deal lol. You are getting Mitrovic and Nedved will soothe the pain by saying he is not Dusan but is still Serbian lol. 🤣
Nedved needs to go now
Juve do not have the money to spend. They are broke thanks to Agnelli and Nedved. They are so far in debt and should be facing FFP penalties but everyone knows the princess of Serie A can get away with anything. And Icardi should have gone to Napoli when he had the chance. He could have been a goal scoring machine because they have players than can service a true striker. PSG offers nothing but money. No trophies. And maybe even no playing time. Ask Gigi.
Oh they’ll get him. But they want him for free.
It’s really on Fiorentina now. Either they sell him in January to an English team or they try to convince themselves that Vlahovic will have a change of heart.
Performances like this will only force Juve’s hand but they insist on spending no money but whine they don’t have a good team. As I wrote on the Venezia vs Juve message board, Juve could easily spent 70M on him, use him for 5 years, then flip him for 200M and about 160 Goals later.
Chiesa’s not leaving. Not to Inter, not to England. Sorry, not sorry.
The ideal scenario is either:
– Juve open their wallets and grab him like any normal club that considers themselves big would do.
The kid is not cap-tied. We could have him play about 6 or 7 matches in the league before the UCL resumes and he is eligible. Getting him and not getting him for the 2nd Round of the CL can be the difference of winning one Knockout Round.
– Or Fiorentina let the transfer window expire and he arrives for Free in July.
Bernardeschi couldn’t get 5 goals per season…he’s not good enough for that level and certainly not for international level
Giuseppe, my thoughts exactly! How Nedved can say Bernadeschi can score 5-10 goals a season when he hasn’t scored in the league for over a year is just idiotic. Nedved must be be drunk when he gives these interviews because he talks a lot of BS.
