Everybody wants Gilardino

Six clubs in Gilardino hunt Friday 13 May, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parma have revealed that six clubs across Europe are in the race to sign star striker Alberto Gilardino in the summer.

The Italian international is expected to be sold at the end of the season and there is no lack of interest – despite his £35m asking price.

"He is of interest to at least three Italian clubs and three foreign sides," Parma boss Pietro Carmignani told Radio Italia Network.

Juventus, Inter and Milan are believed to be the Serie A trio who are keen, with many believing the latter are in pole position.

But Carmignani insists that nothing has yet been decided over which shirt Gilardino will be wearing next season.

"Gilardino is a very good player and a real professional who always gives his best," he added.

"Whoever offers the most money will be at an advantage. Could Gilardino stay? Only if a new owner comes in to buy the club."

Foreign interest for Gilardino is probably from Chelsea and Real Madrid, with Arsenal also being associated with the former Piacenza player in the past.

The 23-year-old has stated that he would prefer to stay in Italy with the 2006 World Cup Final on the horizon.

35 mil is a lot and I dont think (and would disagree) if Juve go for Gilardino at that price tag, Milan can afford it but I dont think even they would go for that price tag

Dont tell me Gila's going to Inter

 

[peckface]

The only thing Gila is better than Cassano on imo is finishing, and we already have Ibrahimovic working he's ass of on that subject.

So if Gila's price gonna hit 50€m (with Chelsea needing a new striker and Real Madrid showing interest it could easily hit that amount) I'd much rather buy Cassano for 30-35€m.

i understand some people here love zlatan and they dont want someone else to steal his glory achieving more goals than him,
but for the good of the team u have to admit that the Zlatan-Gila twin is far better than the Zlatan-cassano on goal achieving,
on the other hand the zlatan-cassano will create more chances but make less goals,most of them scored by zlatan,
good for him not that good for the team,
what are we gonna do if zlatan gets hurt or smth?
play cassano and zalayeta and prey someone will score?
we need a finisher, if not gila then someone else,
we can find many talents with 40mil,
we dont need cassano now,
next year he might be cheaper or even free

For some reason i had always percieved Zlatan to be a finisher rather than creator.

I agree with ur assesment on Zlatan and how he'd do with Cassano, but actually Cassano IS the Better FINISHER out of the two.
I dont deny Gila would be of great asset but the price is just tooo HIGH. You talk as if 40mil is little money, but thats a damn lot, we could buy 2-3 class players with that cash to add creativity to our midfield and depth to our defence.

I think we wont be getting Gila, Chelsea can pay 50mil, so can Madrid, but I doubt any Italian team can pay that amount.

Inter wont likely buy him coz they already have an awesome duo in MArtins and Adriano.
Milan aren't that desperate coz they still have scheva.

Btw if u guys didn't notice

I heard that Real Madrid might want to buy Parma as their Satelite club, and if that happends then Gila will go to Real (eventhough it says there that he will stay).

 

[Cronios]

I know that40mil is a lot of money,
thats what i wanted to point out
i dont think nor Gila(53?) either Cassano(35-40?) worth that much
and i hope we wont be prooved so fools to pay them,
but if we do, i choose Gila over cassano because i believe this is what we need the most.

And yes u are right Cassano seems to be better finisher than zlatan, but between these two i believe Cap will put Zlatan as the finisher since his height and power can do more in front of the Goal.

Thats why we need a Gila like Finisher.

 

[- vOnAm -]

Me too, Definately Gila over Cassano, without hesitating. And since the whole cassano talk started I have long said that Gila would be more useful to us, the Perfect signing for a striker.

And yes, Capello since the start of the season has been training Zlatan on his finishing, and I am optimistic he will become a good finisher in the near future .

So, with heavy heart I say good bye to both Cassano and Gilardino. We're just simply too tightly budgeted at the momment.

“It is true that I was a bit of a Bianconeri supporter as a child and used to go to the home games with my father. I am from Biella, a little town near to Turin, and saw the greats like Roberto Baggio, Michel Platini and Gianluca Vialli. But never fear, I won’t let childhood memories hold me back this Sunday!”

Wouldn't he be the perdfect "next King/Idol/Captain of JUVENTUS" ?

I know I have been saying its almost impossible to get him looking at our budget, but there is hope of a miracle in my heart. :down:

 

[Cronios]

We all live with that unrealistic hope

 

[Diobaggio]

"La Juve in corsia di sorpasso per Gilardino. A rivelare la probabile cessione del bomber ai bianconeri, l'amministratore delegato del Parma Luca Baraldi: "Speriamo di iniziare presto una trattativa seria per il cartellino di Alberto - ha premesso ai microfoni di Sky -, ma se devo essere sincero il rapporto con la societa' bianconera e' speciale, addirittura privilegiato se si guardano gli ultimi anni. E questo potrebbe favorire l'apertura di moltissime trattative". Gilardino compreso, si intende. "

I got that from yahoo.it
For anyone who doesn't speak Italian,it's basically reporting that Juve seem to be in pole position for GIlardino.
Baraldi,a Parma administrator,says that the relationship between Juve and Parma is excellent and that a number of deals could be on the cards between the 2 clubs

 

[ZhiXin]

o ok, I really wish that we can get Gila for a price of around 32 million euros.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

Am pretty sure Gila wont stay at Parma.

Cassano-Gilardino is another debate but if his price tag is really as reported; we shouldnt get him. Too much.

 

[Menace]

He's not worth the trouble

He is a proffesional player, we cann't count on this to block a possible move to Milan or Inter :down:

i agree , we dont need him , if dp , zlatan and mutu are in good form

 

[Monkfish]

Some players go beyond the fact that we need them or not.

Moggi may decide that Gila is too good to turn down, if he is available then now is his chance to get him. If he goes to Inter or Milan then there is minimal chance we will ever get the chance to sign him again.

I'm not saying Gila is that good, but Moggi might think we have to get him - despite the fact we already have other attacking options. He will then sell one (or two) of those.

 

[Maher]

we cant afford to give 35 ml for him

 

[Sadomin]

It would be better to keep Trezeguet than to buy Gilardino for 35 mil. They say Trez will go for 15.. is Gila really that much better?
