Viola repel Juve's Da Costa bid Monday 5 January, 2009 Fiorentina have fended off Juventus' latest advances for Portuguese talent Manuel Da Costa. The 22-year-old signed for the Viola from PSV in January 2008 despite interest from Inter, Milan and Juventus. Although Da Costa has made just...

If he was fit it would have been easier to buy him, imo. We could have offered good money and Udinese sell when big money are put on the table. Zapata keeps getting injured and looks like he's very injury prone, though. Because of that no team in the world wants to pay big money for him. No-one...

Zapata is injured for 6-7 months already. Actually, i think he made a comeback in the Coppa Italia, or was close to it, but got the same injury again. They expected him to be ready for the second part of the season but he's still injured, still far from ready to start with trainings and still...

Then again, there is always the option to loan him out somewhere next year. Buy him now, use him as an emergency measure, loan him out to Siena next year and get 6pts in return from them :D

Actually, i'm against this signing. I'd accept Da Costa without a word if he comes here on loan till the end of the season (like Stendardo last year). That way we'll only add a 4th choice CB, who'll get to play only in case 2 of the other CBs are unavailable. Just a security measure. But if we...
