Benvenuto Alla Juventus: Eljero Elia, Some Dutch Flair for the Old Lady

Juventus, firma di Eljero Elia

It’s been quite clear from the first day of Antonio Conte’s new regime that he would build Juventus on a wing-based system.

Marcelo Estigarribia: If You Don’t Know, You Better Ask Somebody!

Juventus announce the signing of Marcelo Estigarribia. The general response, much like when the club snatched Arturo Vidal earlier this month, is a resounding WHO?

Benvenuto alla Juventus: Stephan Lichtsteiner Signs for the Old Lady

After a few weeks of back and forth negotiation, Stephan Lichtsteiner become an “officially official” Juventus player, signing on the dotted line to the delight of most Juventini. It seemed like a done thing- Lichtsteiner and his agent confirmed their interest in Juventus, and Lotito claiming “good relations” with Marotta, Agnelli, and the player would …

Arturo Vidal: If You Don’t Know, You Better Ask Somebody!

  Juventus sign Arturo Vidal. The general response, among those not too proud to admit it, is a resounding WHO? The five of us here at JuventiKnows.com, a few Copa America and World Cup games aside, have seen very little of the Chilean midfielder that seems to have been captured at the request of Antonio …
