I'm not sure about Dossena, he is pretty good and better than Molinaro but I think there are better players around.
My first choice is Grosso, and there has been rumors floating around about him.
Full Version: Juventus transfer rumours
My first choice is Grosso, and there has been rumors floating around about him.
I think he is a bit old. I would like Manuel Pasqual from Fiorentina or Marcell Jansen from Hamburg.
He is a little older then I would like but he is easily Italy's best LB. He can do a perfect job for the next 2-3 years until De Ceglie is ready to become a regular starter. He can attack and do wonderful crosses along with being a solid defender. We can get him for cheap. I think he is the perfect option for now.
Is it worth going for Juande Ramos?
IS this the wrong thread, sorry?
IS this the wrong thread, sorry?
Yeah there is a Juve coach thread. And yes Juande Ramos is completely out of the question.
Juve have been linked to Pasqual 
Juve consider Pasqual
Juventus are moving their attention away from Lyon full-back Fabio Grosso and toward Fiorentina's Manuel Pasqual, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Bianconeri are in the market for a left-back, as Cristian Molinaro is out until October at the earliest and Paolo De Ceglie is also struggling with injury.
De Ceglie is likely to be fit in time for the new season, but Juventus are said to be looking for someone with greater experience in Europe.
In that respect, Grosso is the outstanding candidate, having competed in the Champions League with Lyon since 2007.
Lest we forget, Grosso was also a crucial member of the Italy side that won the World Cup in Germany three years ago.
However, Grosso will be 32 in November and another target, the highly rated Lazio full-back Aleksandar Kolarov, costs too much.
Consequently, attention has turned to Pasqual, whose contract with Fiorentina expires in 2010, making him relatively cheap.
The 27-year-old isn't thought to be pursuing a renewal as he has played little this season and is now said to be looking for a new challenge.
Juventus have already contacted his agent and are negotiating a price that will not exceed £5m, according to La Gazzetta.
Pasqual joined Fiorentina from Arezzo in 2005 and has made 95 appearances for the Viola. He also has two caps for Italy.

-------------------------
I would take Pasqual in a second for that price. He was class at Fiorentina then they strangely bought Vargas who hasn't been that great at left back. Pasqual is pretty good at defending but in attack he is excellent at getting forward and getting the ball in, he could work well in our new formation.

D'Ago set for Juve
Juventus are expected to sign Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino by the end of this week, according to the Italian Press.
The 26-year-old former Roma youngster has been a revelation this season, scoring 11 Serie A goals in 36 appearances for the Zebrette.
Juventus are believed to have offered £15m for D'Agostino, who was called up to the Italy squad in November 2008.
Udinese President Giampaolo Pozzo confirmed Juventus' interest in the player during an interview yesterday evening.
“I hope that someone doesn't come and unsettle him, but Juventus are interested,” Pozzo revealed.
Juventus have already been active in the transfer market, signing Fabio Cannavaro from Real Madrid and Diego from Werder Bremen.
The Bianconeri finished second in Serie A this year and are looking to close the gap between themselves and Italian champions Inter.
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/jun02g.html
---------------
Some people think he is not quite good enough for Juventus, but he has always impressed me ever since he came through at Roma as a kid. Add in this season he has 11 goals from central midfield, mostly from set pieces, and is also top or near the top of the league passing ratio, tackling and crossing stats, he has had a great season.
If we do sign him then hopefully it won't be for £15m though, that is too much.
How many midfielders do we really need though? I think Poulsen, Tiago and Almiron will all have to be sold. I hope we still have money for fullbacks.

I didn't even realise he left Roma 
Juventus snapping up all the best young talent while the some of the other Italian clubs have been treading water.
Juve obviously building for the future and not just thing about 2009/10, but the next 5-10 years
admittedly not many clubs are doing this

This deal looks pretty close but not done by any means yet. D'Agostino and all of his family are big Juve fans and obviously he has said he would like the move.
I read something funny on another forum. When Davids was at Juventus, you probably remember that he had a year left and Roma were trying to sign him, well they offered Daniele De Rossi, Alberto Aquilani and Gaetano D'Agostino plus 10m Lira for Davids but Moggi wanted 15m Lira
I know it's not the same because those three were just young lads with potential and wouldn't have reached the level they had now in probability because they would be on the bench but imagine that deal now

Well yeah
According to Tuttosport we have offered €12m + ½ Lanzafame that we own + ½ Paolucci that we own. They want €10m + ½ of Giovinco

Marcell Jansen has been linked again, looks like he would cost about €9m. The same story suggests Fabio Grosso is quite close to joining Bayern Munich.
According to J1897.com he is ours for €8m + ½ Lanzafame + ½ Paolucci.
Two more good kids go in exchange for an established player, oh well. Hopefully D'Agostino is the business.

D'Ago welcomes Juve talk
Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino is flattered to be linked with Juventus, but insists he is yet to sign for the Turin giants.
The 27-year-old, who celebrated his birthday yesterday, has enjoyed a great season with the Zebrette.
D'Agostino scored 11 goals in 36 Serie A appearances, attracting the attention of Marcello Lippi who called him up to the Italy squad.
When told of Juventus' interest while on international duty at Coverciano, he replied: “So much the better, Juve are a great team.
“From reading the newspapers I feel very close to Juve, but I still have not signed anything. If I were to go to Juve it would be the choice of the club seeing as they have yet to decide on a trainer,” he concluded.

Hmmm, it sounds like we haven't even spoken to him Still, something may be done by Monday apparently.

Udinese are trying to rape us on this deal, asking for a deal up to €30m, asking for two of Marchisio, Giovinco or De Ceglie, they are full of shit.
“It is true that Juve are interested in D’Agostino, but concrete proposals have not yet been offered,” President Giampaolo Pozzo told TeleNordest.
“In any case, we are not interested in receiving cash. What we would like to bring in are player exchanges.
“If Juve want him, then they must put on the plate two from this list: Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie. It will be a very tough battle.”
The creative midfielder is a product of the Roma youth system and was once considered the new Francesco Totti, but at Udinese was revamped as a deep-lying playmaker.
Now the player who just turned 27 this week is on the transfer wish-list for the Bianconeri.
“He is one of the best midfielders in Europe and is younger than Andrea Pirlo, so his value is around £28m.”
------------------------
One great season and he thinks he is the new Zico lol, fucking tard. No chance on Marchisio or Giovinco, maybe with De Ceglie for half perhaps.

He might be 27 years old but in the photo he looks about 38.

D'Agostino: Juve, I'm ready
Gaetano D’Agostino confirms he is on the verge of signing for Juventus within the next couple of days.
“I said I wanted a big club and Juve are among the biggest,” smiled the Udinese midfielder.
The 27-year-old made his senior international debut in Italy’s 3-0 victory over Northern Ireland last night.
New Bianconeri Coach Ciro Ferrara was Marcello Lippi’s assistant manager until Friday, when he received the call from Turin and left the training camp.
“When Ferrara left the other day, he winked at me as he went out the door,” revealed D’Agostino.
Udinese are not so certain they want to release their star midfielder, having valued him at £28m.
President Giampaolo Pozzo has requested “two out of these players in exchange: Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie.”
Although Giovinco is unlikely to be released, the other two youth products are potentially on the market.

There is no way Marchisio will be released either, the board would be lynched.

D'Ago almost a Juventino
Gaetano D'Agostino is waiting for the outcome of a meeting between Udinese and Juventus today, which will ultimately decide his future.
The 27-year-old has enjoyed a brilliant season for Udinese, scoring 11 goals in 36 appearances.
Juventus are believed to have had an offer accepted for the Italy international, but some details need to be ironed out before the transfer goes through.
“The two clubs will meet today and I don't want to put myself in the middle of them. I await their decision calmly,” D'Agostino told Sky Italia.
“Udine will always be the city that has given me the most in my little career. They bought me when I still had a lot to prove. They waited for me in my first year.
“I have achieved good results for two years now and I owe a lot to Coach Pasquale Marino, who has given me a lot.
“The objectives, the pressure and the players will all change with Juve. There are little difficulties that I will face calmly like I did my debut with La Nazionale. I feel mature,” he explained.
D'Agostino also had words of respect for Ciro Ferrara, Italy's assistant trainer, who recently took charge of Juventus on a full time basis.
“Ferrara has not said anything to me. He has a superb relationship with the players of the national team. On a charismatic level he has great drive.
“If Juve have chosen to give Ferrara the top job it means to say that he is a great trainer,” D'Agostino concluded.

The meeting is currently ongoing, I'll update as news comes out.
Udinese are still trying to get Giovinco or Marchisio as part of the deal which is out of the question. What looks more likely is that Juventus will give Udinese De Ceglie and Paolucci's other half plus a bit more money. What will happen then is that Juventus will bring back Criscito from Genoa as a replacement for De Ceglie and possible starter. It would be sad to see any good youth product go but Criscito is also one and he is a better player overall so Juve would be strengthening all-round.

The meeting has ended without any agreement for now, simply because Juve won't shift on those two players. Udinese are being unreasonable, why would two Juventini who are the future of the club want to go to Udinese? Anyway talks will continue later...
An offer has also gone in for another unnamed member of the Italian national team...

The bid for the other player was deliberately leaked so as to get Udinese worried about Juve turning towards another player. According to the informer another unnamed player was seen at Juve HQ. The fact he wasn't named means the spotter didn't recognise him so probably foreign.
wow, Jay has a spotter
grazie, keep us updated
grazie, keep us updated
Do you think its worth it to possibly loose De Ceglie to get a player we dont desperately need.
Before De Ceglie got injured VS Napoli he showed more promise then both Giovinco and Marchisio. He has what it takes to become our future World Class LB.

I don't really know, sometimes you have to take a hit to benefit the team but it is hard to get so many young players regular games. I like D'Agostino but I'm not sure we desperately need him. However it remains clear from what Secco said today that we will certainly be buying a central midfielder, whether that is D'Ago or someone else.
I do still think Criscito is better than De Ceglie currently, although a different sort of player, he was one of the best in Serie A this season.

It's just complete nonsense really, the guy is an idiot.

Pozzo: D'Ago will play for Juve
Udinese owner Giampaolo Pozzo has revealed he has yet to reach an agreement with Juventus for Gaetano D'Agostino but insists the player will move to Turin.
Udinese representatives met their Juventus counterparts yesterday to iron out a deal for the talented goalscoring midfielder, who is currently on international duty.
However, the two parties apparently came to an impasse when discussing the player's value, delaying the transfer indefinitely.
“We are satisfied with the player, but there is no agreement on the money,” Pozzo said. “D'Agostino will play for Juve, though.”
According to Tuttosport, Juventus' offer is £7m short of Udinese's asking price.
The Bianconeri are said to be thinking about making a new offer, which would include Michele Paolucci and 50 per cent of Paolo De Ceglie plus £5m in cash.

Pozzo knows he has no leverage and the player is going to Juventus, we don't want to rob Udinese blind but we aren't being mugged ourselves.

Both yesterday and today I have seen that Sky news have reported we are close to signing him. Very good player, I like him a lot, a left full back or more like a wing back who would fit our current system perfectly. OK I do get a bit worried about these sort of players in the fullback role but we have to improve the fullback positions. He has two EU passports as well.

Not so great competing with Barcelona then
D'Agostino said he would bet the deal was done next week.
Paolo De Ceglie's agent said he refused to leave Juventus. Udinese can't force our lads to play for them, we have other options who would be willing to play for a team like Udinese such as Paolucci, Lanzafame, Volpato etc. I think the deal will include money plus the former two.

Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli admits negotiations for Udinese midfielder Gaetano D'Agostino are still only 'halfway down the line'.
The sticking point appears to be Sebastian Giovinco, the talented Juventus trequartista, who Udinese want to form part of the deal.
Udinese would like to part-own the 'Atomic Ant', but Juventus are reluctant to let go of a player who could yet succeed Ale Del Piero.
“Sebastian interests Ferrara a lot. Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco are working with great determination on this field,” Cobolli Gigli explained.
He then went on to say Juventus would not be abandoning their interest in D'Agostino despite the hiccup in negotiations.
“There are alternatives, but for the moment we are looking to concentrate ourselves on this deal.” Cobolli Gigli revealed.
“D'Agostino is a great central midfielder, we will keep our feet on the ground.”

Hopefully this doesn't drag on too long, we have other objectives.
Fiorentina are offering Pasqual a new deal, so a move to Juve looks unlikely. Two left backs off the list. I would prefer the return of Criscito to be honest.
The mystery player who was seen visiting Juve HQ was not Luis Filipe, it was Serdar Tasci from Stuttgart who is a central defender/right back. Apparently this deal could be very close, according to Mark The Informer Blanc flew to Germany today to complete the deal so we could hear something concrete or over the weekend.
Serdar Tasci
Position: Centre back / right back
Nationality: German
Second nationality: Turkish
Age: 22
Height: 1.86m (6'1")
He is a good defender, this is the sort of signing we require.

D'Agostino to Juve 'uphill struggle'
Gaetano D'Agostino's transfer to Juventus is now “an uphill struggle,” announced Udinese directors.
The Italian international was all set to make the move to Turin, but problems arose when they failed to reach an agreement over which players to exchange.
“The negotiations for D'Agostino's switch to Juventus has entered an impasse that it is difficult to get out of,” Udinese director general Sergio Gasparin told Radio Radio.
“When we pin-pointed the players we were interested in, Juve put up obstacles. Therefore it is an uphill struggle now to complete this sale.
“We did not want to release D'Agostino anyway, but unfortunately when a big club like Juventus makes an offer, it is our duty to approach it the right way.”
Udinese had stated they wanted two out of these three players as part of the deal - Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie.
D'Agostino recently made his full international debut, impressing in Italy's 3-0 friendly win over Northern Ireland.

-------------------------
It's not an uphill struggle if they stop being unreasonable. The player is a Juve fan and wants to join, Udinese are willing to sell him, Marchisio, Giovinco and De Ceglie are seen as unsellable by the club and none want to join Udinese, and there are other players Juventus have offered who are good enough to be starters for Udinese, yet they still keep asking for either a ridiculous fee or one of those three young lads in part exchange.

“When we pin-pointed the players we were interested in, Juve put up obstacles. Therefore it is an uphill struggle now to complete this sale.
“We did not want to release D'Agostino anyway, but unfortunately when a big club like Juventus makes an offer, it is our duty to approach it the right way.”
Udinese had stated they wanted two out of these three players as part of the deal - Sebastian Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie.
D'Agostino recently made his full international debut, impressing in Italy's 3-0 friendly win over Northern Ireland.

-------------------------
It's not an uphill struggle if they stop being unreasonable. The player is a Juve fan and wants to join, Udinese are willing to sell him, Marchisio, Giovinco and De Ceglie are seen as unsellable by the club and none want to join Udinese, and there are other players Juventus have offered who are good enough to be starters for Udinese, yet they still keep asking for either a ridiculous fee or one of those three young lads in part exchange.
Rossi: Juve, make me an offer!
Giuseppe Rossi has sent out an appeal for Juventus to make an offer to Villarreal so that he can replace David Trezeguet.
“I too heard about this possibility,” confessed the Azzurri star in this morning's Tuttosport.
“I have a long contract with Villarreal and am happy there, but I must confess my dream is to return to Italy.
“It's up to my club to sell me and the two sides to come to an agreement. Right now I need to stay focused on the Confederations Cup and take my chances.”

Trez plus €12 for Rossi, I would go for that! Not sure Villarreal or Trez would though.

Secco latest:
My opinion:
1) Criscito
2) Grosso
...........
95) Dossena, he is just not right at the moment.
I like Marchionni but obviously we are going to use a right attacking midfielder on that side because he can play on the right of a front three.
QUOTE
“Dossena and Grosso? I can only say that these are not names far from the reality of our wish-list,”
“Right now we are waiting for Genoa’s decision on [Domenico] Criscito, as they have until June 25 to take up their option.
“We did look at [Stuttgart defender Serdar] Tasci two months ago, but since securing Cannavaro he is no longer a player that interests us. Besides, he won’t be a free agent.”
“Juventus don’t want to send anyone away, but [Marco] Marchionni could be at a disadvantage with the new diamond midfield system. Therefore if we find a better solution then he will leave.”

He used to play for Chelsea you might remember, skillful player and can pass the ball but has struggled at Juve. Juve are changing formation and style next year so he could do really well this year but if someone puts a good offer in then it may be accepted.
Acquafresca set for young Juve
Robert Acquafresca could be the latest addition to Juventus’ bright young team after he was rejected by Inter.
“It makes me very proud, I never would’ve imagined a club of that calibre being interested in me,” he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.
“I wish to make clear I never demanded a regular first team spot, just the chance to challenge for a place with everyone.”
The Cagliari striker scored an impressive 14 Serie A goals this season, but that was not enough for Jose Mourinho to recall him to San Siro.
He has been handed over to Genoa as part of the deal bringing Thiago Motta and Diego Milito to Inter, but does not have a space in the Rossoblu squad.
“This is one of those classic situations in which one door closes and another opens up,” added Acquafresca.
David Trezeguet is on his way out of Turin as part of the rejuvenation strategy under new Coach Ciro Ferrara.
Under-21 international Acquafresca would represent a valid and young alternative to Amauri and Vincenzo Iaquinta.

I would take him as an option, good young striker.

D’Agostino set for Juve
Italy midfielder Gaetano D’Agostino will be joining Juventus from Udinese this summer, the player’s agent assures.
Interviewed by Radio Radio, Franco Zavaglia sounded optimistic regarding talks between the two clubs.
“The negotiations are taking quite a long time but I believe the deal will go through,” noted Zavaglia.
“My client deserves it. Udinese prefer to give him the opportunity to join Juventus also because it will be a prestigious deal.
“There have been several Italian sides after him including Genoa, Napoli and Inter as well as a Spanish outfit, Atletico Madrid,” he concluded.
Meanwhile, the Old Lady is looking to offload Tiago Mendes to make space for their potential new signing.
The Portuguese would be happy to return to his former club Lyon and has already explained he doesn’t suit Serie A football.
In order to sign Tiago Lyon will have to sell Jeremy Toulalan, who has been linked to Fiorentina.

I am really bored of this one already.

Next..
Why is Udinese making this so difficult. Dont we have a very good relationship with them?
Yeah we do but they are trying to work an angle. We should step away for a bit now and they will sell because they don't want an unhappy player on their hands.
