management and boards of teams lie all the time to the press
nothing to take very seriously
you dont really expect the board to come out and say to the press we want to sign these players......
do you?
criscito is still young and relatively inexperienced to be handed a permanent starting role
havent seen grygera or chiellini play as CB to be able to comment but from what i ve heard chiellini is better as a LB
dont know if he stated that but if they ask for 11mil im sure we can convince them to sell him for 8.5-9 or just include a player(i.e giannichetta) and pay just 5-6mil
that would be a good deal
