Aquilani will stay for sure and I don't think we will keep both Matri and Quagliarella, one of them for sure and it will be the one that will cost less. Pepe can leave for all I care.
I'm not really sure about that. If Quag's price can be whittled down a bit, we'll sign him for sure. Matri is here to stay since Marotta lost out on his jewel Pazzini.

I'm thinking every option on loan players will be exercised apart from Motta. His performances are so bad even Marotta would admit he made a mistake.

Matri: “Juventus were my target”



These are the first words of the striker who joined Juventus yesterday: “I thank the club for their efforts. I’m ready and enthusiastic, I hope to influence the whole group.”

He scored a double against Bari on Sunday afternoon, wearing Cagliari shirt. And today he has just been officially introduced to media upon his signing with Juventus. As commonly said “only two days can change your life”: this happened to Alessandro Matri who joined the Biaconeri for affording his contribution. Awaiting for showing his talent on the pitch, possibly tomorrow against Palermo (“I’m ready, our manager will make his decision”), the forward proved to be an important signing from his first words: “Now I’m in high spirits, I hope that my great enthusiasm can influence the whole group. I’m very happy to be here in Torino: joining an important team was my target. Therefore, I thank the club for the efforts done, but Cagliari and president Cellino as well, because they gave me this chance.”

After excellent seasons in Cagliari, where his performances and goals were highly appreciated, Matri is now ready for making it big: “These three years and half spent in Sardinia have been fundamental for my professional growth. Now I have to show on the field that I’m ready. I’m here to pit my strength, hoping to play soon for giving my best. I’m interested in acclimating in this new team but, fortunately, there are many Italian players.”

The young player joined a squad who wants to impart a depth change following a not really positive January. In particular, he will be a part of a forward side which is looking for new goals, especially after the injuries of Quagliarella, Toni and Iaquinta. “The team has been quite good for most the championship. Unfortunately, the injuries conditioned their progress.

And now we have to resume our course.” Today Matri is going to have his first training with his new team mates before traveling to Palermo where the midweek clash will take place tomorrow. And on Saturday, for the fourth return match of the Championship, Juventus will play Cagliari and for Matri will be time of recollections. About his next game as former player, Matri says: “I’m curious as well, I hope to be welcome by Cagliari supporters. I understand their disappointment, but the people I know thanked me for the time spent in Cagliari and told me to be glad for me.”

    well, not really...mobile, good in the air, decent finisher too.
    And best of all for lil zlatan, Amauri has gone.

    He will do well for the first few months he is here, just like Amauri did. After that, we will exercise the option to buy him, just like we did with Amauri, and he will end up sucking for the next 2 seasons!
    Without even playing a single minute for Juventus, Matri is already the new Amauri.

    OMG and we are paying 15.5+2.5+Ariaudo= +20 freaking mil to get Matri who???
    OMG how can Marotta be so idiot?? I never thought that possible...
    OMG! Pazzini is actually a good striker after all.

    Why hope for anything when certain experts know that he will not score a single goal?
    Because the experts have a crystal ball, and are 100% correct.

    I think it will all go down to whether we reach a CL spot, if we do make it one of Quag or Matri will leave and we will get a prolific forward. Even if Marotta is making mistakes, he is not as stupid as some are making him to be.
