Juventus Calciomercato Thread

[hanuma]

I like what he CAN do....but I don't think Juve are really going to sell him...nor do I think Jose would want to buy him.

On this seasons form I wouldn't want him anywhere near SB.

[Muscolino18]

We're not ready to sell. If bids were tabled in the summer, I'm sure they'd be considered but it's hard to believe they'd be 'welcomed'.
Audacious Chelsea and Real bids welcome.

I still want him, I want him to realise that potential and become the world-beater he can be.

Ibrahimovic could be the best longball striker in the world
would be an excellent signing imo (attitude being the only prob)

[azzurri]

media gossip, they will give him 1 more yr to return to himself. if not, than he will be sold.

He's not a 'Crouch' by any stretch of the imagination, he got pissed off when he was compared to the late great John Charles when he first signed for us.

[The Rule]

Crouch is better with his feet than his head.

Zlatan would be perfect for Barcelona IMO, Spanish football would suit him and the Barca system would be ideal, dunno if they need him or not.

No way in hell are Chelsea going to get Him.

I wouldn't mind if he signed for RM, but only if Ronaldo leaves, which I hope not, and no way near £25 million. RM new president (Fernado Martin) doesn´t share expending huge amounts of money on players. At least, that's what he said recently.

Sampdoria ‘keeper Francesco Antonioli is being tipped to join Italian champions Juventus at the end of the season.

Reports in Italy on Wednesday suggest that the Bianconeri have targeted the veteran, with some whispers claiming that a deal has already been done.

The 36-year-old will apparently move to the Stadio Delle Alpi on a free transfer for the 2006-07 campaign.

Antonioli, who won a Scudetto at Roma under the guidance of present Juve boss Fabio Capello, will be netted to become Gigi Buffon’s new understudy.

Juventus need to bring in cover for the Italian international given that Christian Abbiati will return to Milan at the end of the season.

Abbiati joined Juve on loan from the Rossoneri last summer following the shoulder injury sustained by Buffon.

His arrival subsequently shut the door on former No 2 Antonio Chimenti who later joined Cagliari in the January transfer window.

Antonioli, a former Italy international who was part of the Euro 2000 expedition, has vast experience at the top level.

He’s played in goal for the likes of Milan and Bologna in his career before he joined Doria in the summer of 2003.

Antonioli’s No 1 shirt at Marassi will now probably be handed down to former Italian Under-21 ‘keeper Luca Castellazzi, who currently sits on the bench in Genoa.

Juventus’ Marcelo Zalayeta has reportedly snubbed a summer move to Bordeaux, in favour of staying in Italy with Sampdoria.

The 27-year-old first joined the Stadio Delle Alpi outfit in November 1997 but wants to leave given his lack of use this term.

The Uruguayan has rarely featured for the Old Lady with Fabio Capello preferring to alternate his attacking trio of David Trezeguet, Alessandro Del Piero and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Zalayeta was already on the verge of leaving last summer but was convinced to remain after expertly filling in for Trezeguet during his injury problems.

However, he now believes it is time for regular first team football and Juve, albeit reluctantly, are prepared to release him.

French side Bordeaux, a revelation in Ligue 1 this term, were said to be his likely next destination but he has now reportedly opted for a Samp switch instead.

Juventus netted the then youngster from Penarol, but have shipped him out to Empoli, Sevilla and Perugia on loan during his Bianconeri stay.

His exit will undoubtedly see Juventus bring in a new striker which is likely to be one of their former youth team players.

Raffaele Palladino and Rej Volpato, currently on loan at Livorno and Siena respectively, are in a good position to win a Turin recall.

Good news for both Zalayeta and Juventus!

[azzurri]

how are we supposed to score against spanish teams in the CL now?

[Muscolino18]

Capocannoniere for 0607.

Reports in Spain maintain that Juventus have made Real Betis a formal offer for midfielder Joaquin.

The 24-year-old has been linked with the Turin giants in the past given the high esteem which boss Fabio Capello has for the player.

Now sources suggest that Juventus have contacted the Liga outfit with an official bid for the Spanish international.

Betis’ £18m valuation of Joaquin wasn’t met with great satisfaction by transfer guru Luciano Moggi who has no intention of offering that kind of money.

However, it is thought that he has offered Betis cash plus the services of Mauro Camoranesi and Marcelo Zalayeta.

The Liga club are said to be considering the proposal and the move could even be completed before the World Cup Finals.

Joaquin’s present contract runs until 2010 and Juventus are allegedly prepared to offer him a four-year agreement.

Juventus are refreshing their wing options for the new campaign after already netting Marco Marchionni from Parma.

He’s been brought in as the club want to get rid of Camoranesi after a campaign of indiscipline from the Argentine-born Italian international.

Juventus have also been heavily associated with Roma wide man Amantino Mancini and Manchester United’s young wizard Cristiano Ronaldo.
