Always been a fan of his. Will be one of the best Marotta signings. A "top" player IMO. Now this is an actual champion signing.

- He's Brazilian
- No Serie A experience
- Must be something wrong with him if Chelsea are willing to part
- We should be going for someone younger
- He'd use the other non-EU spot that could've gone to Neymar

TWW has a point, well he has 5 of them - what do we do?

Your sarcasm detector seems to be broken.

Apparently so, my bad Third world did not pick up the sarcasm at all.

That formation has Pirlo-Marchisio CM

I dont remember 100% but I think I read something in Italian and my Italian reading is not 100% but I think it said Something along the line where the management isnt convinced with krasic. He definitely didnt play great in the Trofeo Tim but just funny to see Krasic considered a back up in that image of the Juve formation with Vidal starting. I think that would be a terrible idea putting Vidal out there so hopefully thats not at all going to be the case. I doubt it thougg.

 

[ThirdStar]

+ GREAT defender
+ Proven in a TOUGH league
+ cannon shots, literally

- Injury prone. I think he missed most of the games last season?
- Not the type to lead our backline.

Definitely good signing.

Looks like he wants to come to Juve.

'Juventus would be a great opportunity' - Chelsea's Alex
The Brazilian stopper has little room at the Premier League giants and is seriously considering a move to Juventus, as long as they sign him on a permanent basis​

Chelsea's out-of-favour defender Alex has indicated he would jump at the chance to sign for Juventus.

The Brazil international has been strongly linked with a move away from Chelsea after being further pushed down the club's pecking order following the arrival of David Luiz in the winter transfer window.

Alex's situation is unlikely to register any improvements under coach Andre Villas-Boas, and the 29-year-old is assessing his options before the close of the transfer window.

Juventus have been credited with an interest in Alex, and though the defender admitted he would welcome an experience in Italy, he admitted the Turin-based club will have to open their wallet to land him.

"I am aware of Juventus' interest, but I think they want to sign me on loan and this would not be a real alternative for me or Chelsea," Alex told Sky Sport 24.

"My agent has been contacted by Juventus, I am 29 years old and it would be a great opportunity. I would love to play in Italy and I hope I can realise this dream before I retire.

"When I talked to my agent, I told him that Juve would be a real opportunity for me. Now, though, it all depends on Juve, who must come to an agreement with Chelsea. It is unlikely the club will accept a loan move."

Alex: 'I'd gladly accept Juve move'
Football Italia

Chelsea defender Alex has told Italian television he “would gladly accept” a move to Juventus, but only on a long-term contract.The Brazilian has been heavily linked with a loan offer from the Bianconeri and things appear to be progressing well.

“I learned of the Juve option when I returned to Chelsea, but as far as I know, it would be on loan,” €7m-rated Alex told Sky Sport Italia.“That does not suit me or the club. All I know through my agent is that there has been contact with the Juve directors. I am not interested in moving on loan and neither are Chelsea. Seeing as I am 29, this is the right moment to sign one last big contract and stay in Europe for at least four years. I still have a two-year contract with Chelsea and so far there hasn’t been talk of a renewal. This is why if a four-year deal were to be offered by Juventus, I would gladly accept. I’d love to play in Italy and hope to make this dream come true."

“I really love Italian football,” continued Alex. “Once I had a medical at Milan, but unfortunately we didn’t reach an agreement. Juventus have always been a special side. We played against Juve a couple of years ago, I spoke to Amauri and Diego who said very positive things about the club and how well players are respected. Therefore, when I heard my name associated with Juve, I spoke to my agent and told him this would be a great opportunity for me. Having a new experience in Italian football and a big club like Juve would be very important.”

Alex effectively dictated the terms of any potential deal to Juventus via the media.
“Now it depends on Juve. If they came in with the right offer, I don’t think it would be difficult to reach an agreement with Chelsea. However, if they maintain the idea of a loan, then it’ll be very tough.”

@ advice from these two players

 

[CAPITANO]

last season without Ale on the Pitch we had no free kick takers, now we'll have an overload

 

[petersmit]

loved him from the days he played for PSV... he is awesome...

 

[Albertmare]

Let me count ,
Del Piero , Pirlo , Ziegler , Vidal , Quagliarella , Vucinic and probably Alex :num:

 

[ZoSo]

Isn't it just Del Piero, Pirlo, Ziegler, Vucinic, Alex and Pepe to a certain extent? Quag and Vidal don't take FKs do they?

 

[X Æ A-12]

Vargas can.

 

[CAPITANO]

Don't forget Bonucci

They can execute FK for certain reason i think

 

[deggen10]

Conte will need to lay down some clear guidelines for fk's. Don't want a conference and upset players every time.
