The Old Lady Speaks: A Juventus Podcast FFSN

The summer transfer market is starting to heat up for Juventus, and that means the first names that soon-to-be manager Thiago Motta and director Cristiano Giuntoli are eyeing up have dominated the rumor mill.
On Episode 235 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

The transfer rumor mill has been busy lately — and not all of those rumors are ones that make us happy as Juventus fans.

The biggest potential departure being talked about over the last week involves Federico Chiesa’s status at Juventus and if he’s truly in Thiago Motta’s plans as contract talks look to have cooled off in recent weeks.

A Juve player who looks more and more like he’s leaving is goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny. And that is because Juve are on the cusp of signing Monza’s Michele Di Gregorio, a player who very much suits Motta’s style of play more than the 34-year-old Szczesny.

Juventus’ negotiations for Teun Koopmeiners won’t be easy — but then again, we figured that would be the case because of how much Atalanta want for him.

Other thoughts on potential Juventus transfer moves, most notably their chase for Riccardo Calafiori and just what some of these rumored player exchanges would do for the team’s depth going into next season.

On Episode 234 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

It’s the annual season review! And unfortunately we have to consider the whole season, not necessarily just all the good times before February arrived.

Juventus closed out their season with long-awaited victory, but it’s what’s happening off the field in anticipation of a new manager being hired that has been a very large topic of discussion over the last few days.
On Episode 233 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from Juventus’ win over Monza — how nice it was to see Paolo Montero field a trident and for Juve to score goals because of it, and how it was to see Nicolo Fagioli back in the starting lineup again.

Some thoughts on Juventus’ win over Monza.

Thiago Motta is on the cusp of becoming Juventus’ new manager. We discuss.

Monza goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is on the cusp of being one of Juventus’ first summer signings. What does it potentially mean for Juve’s tight-knit group of keepers?

Twitter questions — including thoughts on Filip Kostic’s future at Juventus, thoughts on the Paolo Montero “era” as Juve manager, why didn’t we see Moise Kean and Weston McKennie the last couple of games, and if any players on the fence are no longer on the fence.

Juventus won their final meaningful game of the 2023-24 season and played their best games in weeks (if not longer) than that, but they now have something else to suddenly figure out as a result of Max Allegri red lining at the end of the Coppa Italia final.
On Episode 231 of The Old Lady Speaks Podcast, we discuss:

Takeaways from Juventus’ win over Atalanta — The Coppa Italia is not a Mickey Mouse trophy, how Andrea Cambiaso continued to show that he can be an important piece for Juve’s present and future, and how Dusan Vlahovic played like the €80 million striker in which his team needed him to be on Wednesday night.

Thoughts on Juventus’ performance in the Coppa Italia final.

Hopefully a lot of players getting their first-ever trophy at the senior level — or at least at Juventus — is something that can help when it comes to setting a tone for next season.

A brief look at the situation regarding Juventus potentially firing Max Allegri because of his squabble with Tuttosport’s chief editor after the Coppa Italia final.

The long-awaited top priority for Juventus’ 2023-24 season has been achieved, although it was completed in the kind of fashion that is all too fitting of how the Bianconeri have played during the second half of the year.
