Antonio Candreva (15 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
Nella stagione 2008-2009 viene ceduto in prestito al Livorno, in Serie B, dove diventa titolare e contribuisce alla promozione in A. Il prestito viene quindi confermato anche per la stagione successiva.
If you don't understand Italian, it says that he was simply loaned to Livorno last year, and the loan deal has been confirmed for this season too.
He's completely owned by Udinese and was just on loan in Livorno.
Livorno has absolutely nothing to do with him anymore. It's all between us and Udinese.
Right now he's a player who's 100% owned by Udinese, on loan to Juve (Jesus Christ, I never thought Udinese will loan players to Juve!). Juve has the right to buy 50% of Candreva's contract at the end of the season.

Maybe its not a bad business move with the strained relations aside. I mean when you say £6.5m for half of the player I guess it doesnt sound bad especially when they will be negotiating this other half in the future with Juve. if he does well then for us to buy out the other half could only be much more. Not bad for a player who they got for pennies. Otherwise its half a million gain. Prolly much more from what they were gaining with the livorno loan deal.
Candreva already has Italy caps under his belt and the move to Turin could boost his chances of being at the 2010 World Cup.
“For now I just want to concentrate on Juve and that's all. Am I emotional at this moment? Pretty much, yes.”
I like that. Forget all about WC10, just concentrate on Juve.

Just for those words he should be automatically inducted into the WC2010 squad. (for Italy)

I welcome this deal. It suits us, with very little risk involved. And I wonder if those completely ANTI LOAN goons will be maintaining their stance if he does amazing for us, whilst on LOAN.
Essentially, he is young, italian and very promising. I expect more of him than I do of paolluci, but still, Antonio is raw and unpolished, and needs time...so I give him time. Also...if he can play the ball, from a central midfield trio, behind Diego, and is comfortable on the ball, it will massively improve our ability in the final third...mainly, in ball retention, and decent service to diego and the strikers. THIS has been lacking all season. Marchiso flatters to deceive as an offensive talent. Sometimes sublime, sometimes lethargic. Melo and Momo are not who we want as offensive creators.
An encouraging signing.
