Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has dismissed talk of a title
tilt and pointed to recent history that suggests the club's unbeaten
start to the season should not be cause for elation.
Juve lead
Udinese on goal difference after remaining unbeaten in 14 matches while
reigning champions AC Milan are two points behind in third.
But
Buffon says this isn't the first time in recent years that the club has
started well and yet they finished seventh in each of the last two
seasons.
"It's risky talking about the title, leading the league is just something temporary that's lasted 14 games," said Buffon.
"At this time of the season last year we were also close to the top but we didn't even qualify for Europe."
The
French press have speculated Juve are interested in signing Manchester
City rebel Carlos Tevez and have even tabled a 30-million euros bid for
the Argentine.
However, Buffon would be wary of welcoming a player who has caused problems before at his clubs, and not just at City.
"I
don't know if he would raise the bar if he joined Juventus, we're
covered up front and I don't know what problems he might have," said the
Italy captain.
"All I know is that with us you have to put your own ego to one side stay all together."
