After being relegated at the end of last season Juve have not gained many fans. They won the Serie A last year and reached the Champions League 1/4 Final, although they could not overcome the might of the Arsenal. Although they still remain with a strong squad with a couple of World Cup Winners still remaining, I belive they will be a popular choice amongst FM Fans for this season's game. Obviously promotion will be the aim, but may prove wuite tricky with the points deduction, and significantly low morale throughout the once dominant Juventus side.
Major Transfers Out
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Inter
Patrick Vieira - Inter
Lilian Thuram - Barcelona
Gianluca Zambrotta - Barcelona
Adrian Mutu - Fiorentina
Fabio Cannavaro - Real Madrid
Emerson - Real Madrid
Fabrizio Miccoli - Benfica (Loan)
Andrea Gasbarroni - Parma
Olivier Kapo - Levante
Manuel Blasi - Fiorentina (Loan)
Christian Abbiati - Milan
Major Transfers In
Valeri Bojinov - Fiorentina (Loan)
Cristiano Zanetti - Inter
Jean-Alain Boumsong - Newcastle
Marco Marchionni - Parma
As you can see, the transfers out are far greater and more significant than those in. So it will be a huge challenge to restore Juve to their formaer glory. Although the squad is strong for Serie B, it will be tough to rise to the occasion in Serie A and see the the likes of Inter and AC to the title.
