The player: Milos Krasic

Juve, it would seem, have found themselves a bargain. Milos Krasic was kept in limbo most of this summer, declaring that he wanted to join Juve from Russian giants CSKA Moscow, and in the process shunning moves to Manchester City, Manchester United and other big clubs. The attraction of the old lady was too much for him, and the chance to replicate the dazzling performances of former Ballon d'or winner Pavel Nedved, and his hero, was all the more reason to settle for Juve. But, Juve didn't seem to convinced at first, instead trying to lure Edin Dzeko away from Wolfsberg given the quota of one non-Eu player for Serie A clubs per transfer market. However, it now seems like money well spent, and worth the wait for Krasic as he has blossomed in his first few appearances for the old lady, especially in the game against Udinese where his two pin point crosses lead to a Marchisio volley and an absolute wonder goal from Fabio Quagliarella. Its the sort of service, and pace going forward, that was missing from the Juve midfield last season. Indeed with his long blond hair you could have almost been forgiven for thinking that it was Nedved playing out their on Sunday afternoon. Comparisons for the however do in reality have to stop there, such was the shear power, quality and ability of the great Czech. That's no slight on Krasic however, who has shown already that he can be a huge player for Juve this season, and in the ones to come.
