Well..the only source which has suggested such a thing has been our very own hanuma!
It's possible though.
We're linked with Miguel again today, apparently Benfica just want Zalayeta and no cash involved. That sounds amazing...a (very useful) player that is surplus to requirements for a player who plays in a position we need help in. Perfect.

[azzurri]

well chielleni definetly wont be taking zambros spot so its only logical we play him on the right, cant bench a defender of his talent, however juve are famous for doing this as is the case currently with zalayeta (who i believe is a really good player who should play alot more), but that Miguel rumour is convenient, i dont wanna see zalayeta leave

[Muscolino18]

He'll never break into the first team. It's sad, but true. Marvellous player though, great technique and can finish when called upon.

Juventus are expecting Igor Tudor to belatedly join Bolton Wanderers on a season-long loan deal.

Bolton boss Sam Allardyce has been a long-term admirer of the Croatia international and has spent the bulk of the summer chasing Tudor.

In early July, Allardyce feared a move for the defender was doomed to failure as he could not meet Tudor's demands.

But the interest has been resurrected and a loan deal has now been arranged by The Trotters, who face competition from Villarreal for the 27-year-old.

Juventus have confirmed the offers from both clubs and, while Tudor appears to prefer a move to Spain, the Italian champions believe he will head to The Reebok Stadium.

"For Tudor I have an agreement with the English club Bolton Wanderers," said Juve general manager Luciano Moggi.

"But the player prefers the offer he has from Villarreal.

"Personally, I believe he will eventually join Bolton."

Tudor, who can also play in midfield, has been waiting to leave Juventus after learning he does not figure in Fabio Capello's plans for the new season.

He spent six months on loan at Siena last term and, with a contract running until 2007, was initially valued at €5 million (£3.4 million) by Juve.

But with Tudor's suitors reluctant to shell out that sum, Juve are now prepared to loan him out, with a move to Italian rivals Lazio mooted only last week.

It now appears to be a straight fight between Villarreal and Bolton, with Juve believing Tudor will finally move to The Premiership, having been linked with Middlesbrough and West Bromwich Albion in the past.

Hopefully, I'll go down to watch his debut..Forza Tudor, a fine servant to Juventus.

Tudor to join Trotters

Bolton have reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Croatian international Igor Tudor on loan. The versatile player can play in the heart of defence or midfield and is renowned for his combative style.

Bolton have reached an agreement with Juventus to sign Croatian international Igor Tudor on loan. The versatile player can play in the heart of defence or midfield and is renowned for his combative style.

Now all that remains is for the player to agree personal terms with the club, before undergoing a medical to complete the move.

"We have agreed it with Juventus and we have been talking to the player for a couple of days. It's just a question of getting him to Bolton and telling him what Bolton is all about and if we can do that then we will have got a good signing." said Phil Gartside

"He has three years on his contract and Juventus are not keen to let him out on a permanent deal but they are quite prepared to let him out on a loan basis. However we have a good record whether they are permanent or not that when we bring a player into the club it's very rare that they leave. Even with our loan players within a year they have always signed and carried on playing."

The signing, should it be completed, comes as another welcome adition to the squad. Tudor fits the bill in regard to the calibre of player we should be looking to bring in to strengthen the squad this year, whilst his experience in Europe should be useful for the UEFA Cup matches ahead.

I'll miss the big guy

[Forest_4eva]

I once signed him for forest on premiership manager.
seemed a decent player.

[Muscolino18]

He's a behemoth and can kick a ball to boot. I will watch his debut in person...in bianconero.

Juve secure Samba star Thu, Sep 01 2005 13:33
Juventus have revealed they managed to secure the services of Brazilian ace Gladstone Pereira Della Valentina on deadline day.
Just moments before the transfer window shut the Bianconeri managed to secure a loan move for the 20-year-old, who is currently under contract to Brazilian outfit Cruzeiro.
The Samba star had been linked with a move to the Stadio Delle Alpi last week and Juventus transfer guru Luciano Moggi confirmed that after finding out he had a valid EU passport, he had been taken by the Turin giants on a temporary basis.

He will be on loan at the club for a year although the Bianconeri do have the option to secure a permanent deal for him next summer.

who the **** is that and what position does he play

[Muscolino18]

It's that highly-rated centre-back I think?

[_GrimReaper]

Of why do we always buy backs why dont we once buy ronaldinho for a change ::nw:: ::nw::

[Muscolino18]

Not after he committed 'til 2010 today with Barca. Ibrahimovic was our 'classy' buy for this decade, there'll be another age-long wait now Grim..

[azzurri]

never heard of this guy...

[hanuma]

plus no club in the world would get ronnie from barca.
why would he want to leave the best club and the most glamorous club for juventus where the fans already love him to death and he has had the best time of his life settling in with his family?
