Another week, and another victory saw the Bianconeri move into 4th place just six points behind leaders AC Milan, and it was the return of Milos Krasic that inspired Gigi Del Neri’s men in a 2-0 win away at Genoa. As talk of a Scudetto challenge begins to gather pace, is it too early to dream?

The Serbian wing-wizard returned after a thigh strain and made an impact throughout the game. Having given Domenico Criscito a torrid afternoon, the former CSKA man found himself on the scoresheet with a well-taken finish and proved yet again how important he will be to Juve this year.

With strugglers Fiorentina visiting the Stadio Olimpico next weekend, another win will be paramount in order to keep confidence and morale high, as la Vecchia Signora continue to battle through their injury crisis. Congratulations must also be given to Alberto Aquilani, who after returning to the international fold in mid-week is beginning to show signs of his form at Roma having failed to show his worth in his spell in England with Liverpool.

Just as Zlatan Ibrahimovic continues to light up the San Siro with yet another precious and clinical finish on Saturday night against the Viola, Krasic has become equally as important to Juve. What are your thoughts on the way Juve’s season is progressing? Are they proving that they could well be genuine title contenders?

Having shown their ability in recent weeks on the domestic scene, it is vital the Bianconeri continue their fine form in the Europa League next week. Currently lying outside of the qualification places, Juve must win both their remaining games to have a chance of progressing to the knock-out stages. With the treatment room slowly emptying, let us hope that we will have reason to celebrate a European success next May. Forza Juve!

I dont think we (Juve supporters) should get carried away just yet as the season is still not even half way and last time this year and the year before, we were in a similar situation, though these current string of results do look promising and encouraging :)

i think we are definite contenders for the title ..v r better than inter and roma i just hope v r able to sign dzeko or benzema or neymar v desperately require a striker

we have a chance to be contenders but we need a striker to do so..and we need to stay healthy. i also think melo has been key to our good results.

yes i agree with the above sentiments. as is the case with juve fans, i try not to let these things go to my head. we need a striker, and i am suspiscious of this neymar thing. i don't think that'll work. amauri, as much as i love you i think it's time for a change.

We are definitely contenders for the scudetto, providing that we keep up our current form and perhaps upgrade by signing a few good strikers over the January transfer window.
I agree with Azim when he said, we should not get carried away. But we should still be very much hopeful. Krasic has been superb so far and the defense is starting to look better in recent match ups.

we need giant killer forward with ultimate finishing quality, we are juventus a club with big history and i believe our lovely president will sign a new striker on january...impossible for us to sign messi but neymar is young and talented player with great profile so hope we can see him in black and white stripes :.

juve,we've been showing the world that we are the best,but for us to be the undisputable title contender,we need at least two swift and goal sensed attackers to complement krasic's assists and then we remain italy's no 1.
