So just skip considering Sandro and move straight to whether Juve should take Kolarov...

Was pretty disappointed Knezevic wasn't available to play for Rijeka against Aberdeen the other week. We put five past them anyway, but who knows what we might have done againt him.

When was the bid allegedly made? They re-signed Felipe Luis today and that move has been on the cards for a while.

Not being willing to negotiate is not the same as saying you won't accept an appropriate offer, though.

Through the years, the amount of ground Vidal covered it very difficult for teams to get at Lichtsteiner. He's the one I'd highlight as possibly coming under more pressure.

The first offer was in the 20-22m range, according to most sources.

Think it's a bit early to go making comments like that. The centre-halves will have Marchisio in front of them instead of Pirlo, which should make their life a bit easier. It is generally going to be interesting to see how Juve collectively defend next season, given the midfield is going to...

Quite remarkable how far in people's estimations Cuadrado has fallen in the last year or so.

Two points regarding that comment: 1. It doesn't say Juve aren't a big club; and 2. Vidal is commenting on what people are saying in Chile - not giving his own opinion

Where has Vidal said that Juve aren't a big club or that Bayern are a bigger club? All I saw was him saying was that Bayern is currently a stronger team than Juve, which is hard to disagree with. It all seems fairly bland stuff upon joining a new club. You have to be looking for something...

Last I heard, Ribery was injured to the point that people were starting to wonder if he'd play again.

He's just a big battering ram, but he did some damage last season because Mihajlovic used him well.

It's certainly a low-risk deal. Wouldn't rate Quintero as highly as you seem to, though.

:tuttosport:

Chievo reckon they can do what Verona did with Iturbe? Get a good season from him and then flip him for a few million profit.

Yeah, I prefer him when he is played wider or deeper. Hard for him to find the space to use his pace when he's trequartista.

Is that not Pereyra?

The other category of 'market opportunities' would come up very late in the mercato and would be on the basis of certain clubs failing to qualify for the CL and that causing players to become available.

Don't see the the release cluase is terribly relevant here. That was ut in when Draxler's stock was very high. He's not worth anything like that now.
