Piatek scoring yet again. And again. Scored in all games so far this season now I think. Never even heard of him before this season:lol:

36th minute of the game and Piątek already scores another two goals for Genoa.

Scored twice! Lewy, Milik and Piątek in Polish national team, while we mostly play only 1 "no 9".

It's the regularity that's simply scary from him thus far. So much for the 'the coach didn't like me' and 'adaptation period' that's always cited whenever a Pole fecks it up abroad.
All we need now are sources linking him to any major club in Europe
Oh wait Barca rumors started popping out after his third game :lol:

Piątek with two another goals, just when will you bow before your new Serie A overlord?
All 3 of my fantasy leagues have. I have him in all 3, thanks to somebody here mentioning him as the next lewandowski. Nobody knew him so i got him cheap in 2 leagues. The third began after week 2 and by then he was no longer unknown. Actually ended up costing more than CR7 :lol:. Worth it :drool:

Was probably me :smirk:

Finisher mostly yeah, but I think that judging from his goals for Genoa those are not merely tap ins, he's got a goal or two from the outside of the box or after some solo runs. He's very strong mentally though, got the right attitude. He works a lot on the pitch as well. I can see Cracovia's training ground from my kitchen's window, each training day I'd see him early in the morning running around before the training sessions even started. When I had my brief internship at Cracovia, he'd always want to win in the small 5v5 games, he'd go mental if his team hadn't, looked like a right cnut at times but it was an impressive attitude from him, you'd simply like to have such a player in your team.

Kinda strange destiny about Genoa, I remember when they discarded Lewandowski years ago before his explosion in Germany at Dortmund and now they found his possible heir from Poland…. life is strange.
Greatest revelation of the League so far.

Yes, he did an incredible job from what I’ve read.

It will be interesting to see what changes for Juve moving forward, especially in the transfer market.
The real market mastermind is Paratici, i think nothing will change and maybe Juve will benefit 8on the market) from Marotta moving on, sometimes he dragged negotiations far too long and lost the player (Draxler to Wolfsburg and others).

Gervinho on the scoresheet again. 3 massive points for us in the race to stay up, as we are 6 points above the relegation zone now.

How has Belloti been getting on this season?
He's found himself quite isolated the last couple of games, with Falque being injured and Zaza only just starting to get fit. Played well today though, much more than just a goal-scorer; holds up the ball so well and is always looking to play his team mates in.
I'd love him at United, but I'd fear for Torino without him.

He had so many options to pass it so noone challenged him.

This game has been pretty good. Insane last ditch tackle by Abate before the goal, Maldini would be proud.

This is where Milan have failed completely so far this season. They play relatively well, go a goal up and then completely stop playing and throw it away. Let's see if they can see a game out for once.

Sounds like the kind of striker we need right now - I know we were interested in him but Torino pretty much wanted a kings ransom for him.

Hopefully he can stay fit and have a good season.

Yes saved a goal for certain there. Sassuolo are a very decent team this year.

Belotti played very well one season, then he has been injured for a long time in the season after. Now he must prove that he can really be a good striker for more than a lucky year. For the moment I wouldn't say it is a so good striker to be a target for one of the most important team in Europe. And certainly not at the price Torino is asking for him.

Belotti is a good player but not good enough for a top team

Juventus up 2 0 at Udinese. Goals by Betancur and Ronaldo. Mandzukic has been immense.

Didn't see the game but was Ronaldo emotional in his celebration?

why should he be emotional? because of the escort's alleged rape/extortion? I do not think you become Ronaldo if you get outside noise affect your performances. Having said that the way this as well as other similar stories are reported by media and discussed by the high priest of political correctness such as that moron of Lineker is simply disgusting.
Once you enter the media circus you are presumed guilty no matter what, no need of proof , the allegation or suggestion is enough to destroy a reputation even when coming by a professional escort and people wonder why one would decide to pay off in these cases.

But thats always the case. Not Lineker's fault. But lets not kid ourselves something happened. It might not be like the entire version reported but still enough to give him enough trouble for the next months. Or years.

Now Juventus, Cancelo what a fullback he is turning into? 1 year ago didn't believe he would be more than a explosive player with permanent defensive brainfarts. Perhaps the signing of the season for Juve.

Last year was already the best right back in Serie A, its incredible that wasn't called for the WC… unfortunately Inter couldnt buy him for the FFP, we are going to miss him so badly.

Yes stupid Fernando Santos didn't called him because Cancelo had a brainfart vs Holland and saw a red card on a friendly. But now he has no other chance than play him.

This year Cancelo made a very big mistake in the first match of Serie A, causing a penalty, but Juventus could win the game. No other major mistakes in other matches in Serie A nor CL. I think he improved very much in defending. And when he attacks he is really a top player.

Juventus this year signed some very important players: Ronaldo (Eur 120m), Douglas Costa (40m), Cancelo (40m), Bonucci (35m), Can (16m). I think that, considering the medium price of a normal player today, many of these players were a bargain. Cancelo is very good and could take the place of Lichtsteiner, that was very old. The improvement for the team is huge.

No more from point of view of support he's probably got from everyone at Juventus and football being a release from all the issues off the pitch atm, that's all.

Emotional guy given he cried after the Valencia red card.
