Nedved/Giovinco - Diego or van der Vaart - Sissoko - Camoranesi

This midfield will kick ass!

£14m for Xabi is tooooo way much! Xabi is worth maximum £8m.

Roma said no to £11m + Iaquinta for Aquilani...

Lol, because Moggi has such good friends at Juventus now. Having his son as his agent gives him no advantage. The media are digging to deep there. His son is a big agent, so that explains the move.

We will have 4 strikers next season, and Amauri will be our last signing upfront.

I'm not quite sold on Quagliarella yet.

Give him another season and we'll see what happens.

Forza_Roma · 22-05-2008, 05:24 PM

I think he's turning into a consistent 10+ goal scorer. He started off slow this season, but has been pretty consistent throughout. but, he's still a little bit unproven in terms of Juventus.

Juventus are interested in bringing World Cup winner Fabio Grosso back to Italy.

The 30-year-old left back has just won the French Championship with Lyon in his first season at the club.

The Bianconeri are looking to replace Cristian Molinaro, who is expected to join Palermo as part of any deal for Rosanero striker Amauri.

Grosso made 30 appearances for Lyon this year, and is a regular in Roberto Donadoni's Italy side.

Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri wants to bolster the Bianconeri's ranks with experienced players ahead of the Turin giant's assault on the Champions League next term.

If Grosso is unavailable, however, Juventus will promote from within and give Paolo De Ceglie a chance to prove himself.

The 21-year-old, part owned by Siena, has been impressive this year for the Robur, making 29 appearances.

Nevertheless, there are still doubts as to whether the youngster is ready to play at the highest level, leading Ranieri to point on Grosso.

Grosso has had a rought time in France apparently, but he is still miles better than Molinaro.

What can you tell me about this kid Davide lanzafame?

He's being linked to Juve.

**azzurri** · 25-05-2008, 09:36 PM

Lanzafame is already a Juve player. He is from the youth set-up, and spent this past year on loan with Bari in serie b.

According to rumours, he will join Palermo on a co-ownership as part of the deal to bring Amauri to Juve.

Ahh I dunno about Grosso.

Two years ago I would have been delighted, but now...

“The player’s agent is set to arrive, or may have already arrived, today,” he revealed.

“We can’t deny that we are interested, but there’s always the problem of value for money. Jean-Claude Blanc is working on this and other hypotheses.”

Gigli talking about Xabi. This confirm's our interest.

Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has underlined the club's desire to sign Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

The 26-year-old Spanish international has been repeatedly linked with the Bianconeri as they look to bolster the squad ahead of next season.

“I cannot deny that he interests us, but there is always a problem,” stated the Old Lady chief.

Alonso's agent Inaki Ibanez is believed to have been in Turin this morning to iron out a deal.

The Italian Press has reported that the Anfield star is prepared to accept a four-year contract worth £2.7m a season.

“We want value for money and he costs too much. Our director general Jean-Claude Blanc is working on it,” explained Cobolli Gigli

Liverpool are said to want £19m for the Champions League winner, who has been central to the Reds since joining the club four years ago.

Juventus have had a number of problems in the middle this season after last year's signings Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron failed to make the grade.

£19m?! I dont think they understand who they are dealing with. We wont pay that much. £14-15m at the max. The fund's we raise from the sale of Tiago, Almiron, Marchionni and Palladino will be used to cover this transfer, according to the Italian press.

**LAF** · 29-05-2008, 05:54 PM

I'm not liking us signing all these players that Liverpool don't fancy anymore.

I like Alonso, I'm just not sure he has the right mentality for a club like ours (you could argue he didn't for Liverpool).

**D-Kin** · 30-05-2008, 01:17 AM

Spanish players in Italy...

No, it just doesn't seem to work. I don't know why but it doesn't.

You would think someone like Alonso would be perfectly suited to Italian football but I have my doubts.

We should approach with caution (although it appears to be a little late for that).

**D-Kin** · 30-05-2008, 01:20 AM

You know we'll probably sign him and he'll absolutely kill it for us after I made that post.

Oh well, there's always exceptions to the rule.
