I think they know they are in trouble now...they have to go all out this off-season 'cos their contracts are up next season (except Secco, i think he renewed?)
does that answer your question Al :P
the current BoD may be retarded, but they are professional IMO...I don't think they would report something if there was not any truth to it...we have already seen their honesty when they are about to sign someone
look at it this way...they wouldn't have reported it on Juventus.com if it was not going to happen...I don't think we have anything to be worried about
