Towards the end of the 2000-01 season, Guardiola decided that he would leave Barcelona and after a press conference announcing his choice, Orobitg began to receive calls.

"The first call came from Inter, then Milan called followed by Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal," he continued.

"I met Inter in Milan and went to a sports complex where I spoke to their directors and they basically offered me a blank cheque.

"[President Massimo] Moratti did not want me to leave Milan without have signed a commitment for Pep to join Inter."

Juve then called and made it clear that they wanted to sign Guardiola. That was the move that the midfielder wanted most, and so he instructed Orobitg to push it through.

"Josep Maria, I would sign for Juve for less money and anything else. It is one of the dreams of my life," the agent recalled Pep telling him.

"Moggi then slapped his hand against the table and everyone else had to leave the room meaning that just Moggi, his son Delane and I remained."

Juve delayed the decision to sign Guardiola as they wanted to sell Zinedine Zidane to Real Madrid first and by the time that deal had gone through the Turin-based outfit had changed their minds.

In the event, Guardiola moved to Brescia Calcio in 2001, but his stay in Italy proved to be an unhappy one.

anybody counting how many of those over the top through balls Pirlo has done so far, there's the two against Parma for Lichtsteiner and Marchisio's goals and there was one in a pre-season friendly too if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah in the us tour I think, though I can't remember too well. I also remember seeing him make an awesome lobbed pass to Krasič from almost the centre to the side of the box.

I recognized Micoud, but couldn't make out who that other guy was. I know Giannichedda, but damn.. how'd you see that Al?
