I hear ya on this. Like I said, we have the funds. The hardest part is to convince a champion to come to Juve.

All I know is that Destro is not a Champion -- he's a promising striker, but not what we essentially need up front. Look, even Marrotta has stated that we are just missing the top-class quality finisher up front. A champion up front. Can Juventus pay 30-40m for a top-class player right...

Conte really wants him as he worked with him at Bari. At Bari he paired with Bonucci and they were actually one of the best CD pairing in the league. He was very promising until his injury and benching at Inter. He'd be Barzagli's back-up, which is not a bad idea. But Inter will never let...

It's looking more and more likely we'll go another summer without a top-quality CF signing. Buying Destro isn't sufficient, I'm not sure he's any better than Matri at the moment -- I'm all for nurturing potential champions -- but Conte and Marrotta need to keep in mind that from here on in we...

So true. :shifty:

I still say Cavani should be our number one target. And paying 37m euros would not be a bad deal at all -- although I think ADL would want no less than 40m. Cavani has what it takes to be a true Champion. He's had back-to-back great years. His fitness levels are fantastic. I've watched him...

Marrotta: "We are not looking for stars or top players, we want those who can fit into the team who can make a difference today and tomorrow."

So we're getting no champion this summer, eh? oh well. what else is new.

Thanks for the info Mark, and the link AM0110. :tup: Well, it could be the start of initial discussions between the player and Juve. Certainly a good thing that he came and visited - as well as his agent being in Torino i think two weeks ago. :>

Supposedly this all stems from a Gazzetta dello Sport post, right? Has anyone seen it from gazzetta? I couldn't find it on their website, them saying anything about RVP visiting Juve. Anyone else have any luck?

Definitely City, PSG, and the like can offer stupid amounts of money to and for Cavani. But he's relatively realistic for us because City and the like haven't been too linked with Cavani just yet - it's still early though. With Cavani, we can still offer him a great salary, plus bonuses. He...

That's the big question - will Napoli be willing to sell two of their big three stars in one summer. You'd think no. I think no. But I also consider that Cavani was pretty vocal about not being committed to Napoli without UCL football. But we'll have to see.

23 goals in Serie A. He was excellent in Napoli's champions league campaign. Did you not see him WC2010? He was excellent back then as well. Copa América 2011? Excellent. That's pretty proven for a 25 yr old. And he's getting better and better.

I don't find it a 'waste' in getting a potential Champion for 35m who is young. We bought Buffon for a ton of money, especially back in the day, is that a waste? What kind of logic are you using? At least with Cavani we can double his salary and it'd be the cheapest of the available champions...

If we can get Cavani at a reasonable offer -- he'll still be expensive, no doubt -- it would hardly be a 'waste'. He's the type of player that can launch us onto the next level or two.

We'll see it soon -- he's already stated he'd sell Cavani for a "crazy" offer.

Normally if multiple sources are reporting something - it lends more credibility to the report. News outlets don't just report something on their networks because some newspaper in Spain said something without doing an investigation and confirmation of credibility lending to the report. I...

Good point, and thats why I think we should get Cavani. We could easily double his salary. It's just what does ADL want for his transfer fee.

Agreed. And I think Dzeko's talents are bestly suited for the EPL -- I'm not sure how'd he'd do in Serie A. To me Cavani is the no-brainer. Young. Goal machine. Knows Serie A. Has UCL experience and goals. Not injury-prone (I followed him also his time at Palermo). He's costly, but worth...
