donald p to sign for united:
Conte has often mirrored the tactics of the opposition. A good recipe for draws. Juventus also play more or less the same team week in week out (even while switching from a 3 man defence to a 4 man defence, the personnel does not change much as Chiellini can easily switch from centre back to left back) and fatigue has been suggested a reason for their recent drop in form. Also, up front Vucinic is having a disappointing season which is a reason for some of their more frustrating draws.

I noticed that. They seem to be trying to attract young talents which is unitalian like. Pogba isnt the only young talent that has been linked to juve. Conte has done a pretty decent job at juve. They have edged ac milan both in copa italia and in the league. Next season they will be stronger

The Guardian had an article recently that talked about teams that had been unbeaten but finished 2nd, it always came down to a high number of draws.

Cheers! As a manager, i wouldnt know wat to say to the players if that were to happen! I thin when arsenal were unbeaten we were only a couple of points behind. They drew a lot of games

At that point Arsenal were absolutely magnificent, until we beat them on their 50th game :P

But they have drawn 14 times in the league!!!! Thats why they are 2nd. What a strange position to be in. They could lose out in the title race even tho they have not been beaten! But, they seem to be aiming for the future , they are signing or trying to sign a whole load of up and coming youngsters, which is rare for them.
