Hmmm... I didn't know that. Well, at least we don't have to face that kind of trouble.

Yes, you're right, I guess. But even so, spanish league players seems to be not very eager to move to Italy. BTW: why not try Fernando Torres instead of Eto'o, for instance? I guess he's a more suitable option in finantial terms.

I remember you were
You were one of the 3-4 guys here who wanted Moggi to be punished but not a club to be relegated !

I'm afraid i don't understand what you want to say.
Huntelaar isn't bought by Juve, and i don't think he will be !

Lol, i can see you're still crazy about Torres as you were last summer.
He's very close to Liverpool if i understood correctly.

Btw, are you still anti-Ronaldo as you were in the past ?

Exactly: let's punish men, not institutions and fans.

Yep, unfortunately...

Well... ...

I have to admit that I was wrong, as the man really performed very well with us... but only partially wrong, one must note, as he continues to be a very injury-prone player.

the signing of big players do not guarantee sucess! look at us last season, we lost shevchenko and had injury crisis, but still managed to win CL!
we need to sign players that will be useful to the squad. i think one or some of miccoli/giuly/riquelme/c lucarelli/trezeguet will be a smart signing.

Lets get Royson Drenthe and loan him out to holland so that atleast he's our player, then we have to return to barca and take eto'o or dinho.Im somehow cautious of us going for dinho cos it will make calderon persist on getting Kaka.Its OK suazo's deal is withdrawn but we need to act fast.Again wesley Sjneider is a player i love so much, he should also come to us.Then a defender is needed aswell.What about Barzaglli.

how about romanian Mitea from Ajax. he is an amazing player but the coach don't want him because holland are in group with romania for euro08 qual....and he costs only 1million

all we need is zambotta...a player for pirlo backup..and a very good striker since gilardino had a bad season, inzaghi is only a solution for decissive matches, and RO will probably be sold.....so RONALDO+ Eto'o or Ronaldinho or D.Villa/Saviola/Sheva

Cannavaro's Juve comeback[b]

http://www.channel4.com/sport/footba...ia/jun24b.html[u]

Fabio Cannavaro could be making a shock return to Juventus after a long telephone conversation with director Alessio Secco.

The captain walked out in the wake of the Calciopoli scandal and their demotion to Serie B, but now that the Bianconeri are back in the top flight, the door is open for a comeback.


Cannavaro crowned a superb 12 months with the Liga title for Real Madrid, having already been named European and World Player of the Year.


When he was asked about the possibility of returning to Juventus last week, he told newspapers “they have my number and that of my agent.”


It seems the message did not go unheeded, as ‘Tuttosport’ claim that general manager Jean Claude Blanc and director of sport Secco have been holding negotiations over the phone and will meet with agent Enrico Fedele next week.


The main stumbling block is over wages, as Juve will not match the £3m per season he will receive until 2009 under the terms of his Real Madrid contract.


The Bianconeri are having a complete overhaul following their promotion and have already signed Cristian Molinaro, Zdenek Grygera, Domenico Criscito and Daniele Gastaldello for the defence, with Federico Balzaretti, Robert Kovac and Igor Tudor departing.

Chelsea are on the verge of closing the deal with Pato @ 18mill

I read somewhere that we are also interested for Villa. And we are going to make an offer abut 15M euros+Oliveira. The news says that this offer is mostly to know how about will cost to sign villa, and if Valencia is keen to sale him.

Yes i just read it at tribalfootbal. But 18mil looks very much.

So we are going to lose Pato also, I am really depreased

On acmilan.com, Galliani has said that we will look in a foreign country for a striker, and Oliveira may be the one sacrificed.

He also rung a very depressing note about calcio's future, which has been touched on here. He reiterated that Spanish football has an advantage because of tax laws, and that's why we couldn't get Henry.

Also, as some of you know, TV deals will be collective next year, which means that small clubs will receive a big boost in their revenue, but the big clubs will lose a chunk of money. TV deals used to be individually negotiated in Italy, but the Prodi government has changed that. Galliani said that while that will guarantee a very competitive championship, in Europe the decline will be fatal.

Our striker targets is or was.
Eto= He says he don't want to go
Henry= He sign with Barcelona
Ronaldinho= He has nike as sponsor, and he also said he don't want to go
Suazo= He signed with Merda
Pato= He is going to sign with Chelsea
Torres= He is going to sign with Liverpool
Trezeguet= He is going to Valencia
Huntelaar=He is going to one of ManUtd/Juventus/Liverpool/Arsenal
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

From those strikers we have very hard options only to sign Eto or Ronaldinho, the rest strikers seems that they will go to other clubs.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you had noticed only Eto is speaking about his future saying he doesn't want to go............. What is going on with Ronaldinho, i don't hear him talking about his future here and about many days.

Given all the complicated facts and difficulties lately in regards to the summer transfers, seems like Sheva will be the easiest player to obtain
