| Juve plan super attack |

Juventus want to base their attack around three new players, namely Ezequiel Lavezzi [pictured], Goran Pandev and Fabio Quagliarella according to Tuttosport.
The Bianconeri have had problems scoring goals since the turn of the year and are mindful that their strikers aren't getting any younger.
Tuttosport believes Juventus have met with Lavezzi, contacted Pandev, and spoken to Quagliarella about the prospect of moving to Turin this summer.
In the aftermath of Claudio Ranieri's departure, the club is looking to make the team more offensive than it has been in years.
Such a strategy also indicates Juventus are targeting a trainer who is used to fielding three attackers in their system.
The two tacticians fitting that profile are Genoa's Gian Piero Gasperini and Bari's Antonio Conte, who both have history with Juventus.
Alessio Secco, the Bianconeri's director of sport, has reportedly already met with Lavezzi's agent this week and expects to see him again tomorrow.
As for Quagliarella, Juventus are said to be considering offering Udinese a lump sum up front and their 50 per cent stake in Michele Paolucci, who is currently at Catania.
The prospect of Pandev joining the Bianconeri depends on the progress of his contract discussions with Lazio.
Lazio fans booed the Macedonia international striker during last night's 1-0 victory over Reggina because of reports linking him with a move away from the club.
Tottenham could also figure in Pandev's final destination, depending on their level of interest in Vincenzo Iaquinta.
Spurs like both players, but Juventus could sell them Iaquinta not only to raise funds, but to get them to back off Pandev as well.
