Capello eyes summer targets (14 Viewers)
- Thread starter Tacchinardi79
- Start date
So from what it seems that we already signed Giannicheda and Kovac.. This probably mean that one of Emerson, tacchinardi, Blasi, Appiah will have to leave.
Emerson is highly rated and highly wanted by many teams.
Tacchinardi has had a bad season with Juve, not starting regularly and not receiving the enough trust from Capello, and also he is admired by quite a number of teams.
Appiah, started the season really badly but finished the season on the high up. Also admired by clubs especially in Spain and England
Blasi, IMHO he played a very good first season with Juve. Was very solid, but by the end of the last 1/4 of the season I felt he was not very concentrating and looked a bit exhausted. He is a young player with very good promiss, many Italian teams will like to have him atleast as a loan.
This leave us with nothing.. With Juve you raeally cannot tell whats going on during summer until the end of August.

Gilardino set on Milan move
Gilardino's agent recently informed skysports.com that Milan were at the head of the queue for his prized signature despite a rumoured €43 million bid from The Blues, and his father has now echoed his perspective on events.
Whilst proving reluctant to make any official declaration on his son's position, Gianfranco Gilardino insisted that Carlo Ancelotti's side must only find an agreement with Parma if they are to land their man.
"Alberto already decided, he likes Milan although he has never said it officially," Gilardino's father told Corriere dello Sport .
"Only the agreement of Parma is missing, they rightly ask a sum compared to Adriano's valuation.
"Will his next side be Milan? No comment.
"The announcement will be made soon, but it will be made by Alberto."
Parma are currently involved in preparations for their relegation play-off against Bologna, and Gilardino snr is hopeful that his son's future will be resolved before the all-important second leg.
With a host of clubs all across the continent chasing his signature Gilardino has become one of Europe's hottest properties, and his father revealed that he has urged his offspring to remain in Italy.
"I think and hope [it will be resolved] before June 18th when Alberto comes onto the pitch for Parma for the second leg play-off to avoid relegation against Bologna," Gilardino snr continued.
"I can't say a lot, but Milan came in first, then Chelsea, Real Madrid distanced themselves, Juve never made an official offer .
"Inter? It came up three days ago and no-one spoke with me or his agents, I've read it in the papers.
"The only thing I told my son is to stay in Italy, should they allow him to leave it will be a big mistake.
"I'd like him to go to England but after five or six years to learn a language, now it is better he stays in Italy."

Emerson Wants To stay
Emerson has stressed he is happy to stay with Italian champions
Juventus despite constant speculation about his future.
The Brazilian is often linked with a move to Real Madrid, along with Arsenal's Patrick Vieira, as he is highly regarded within the corridors of power at El Santiago Bernabeu.
Yet the midfielder is focused on achieving more success with the Bianconeri and taking part in next year's World Cup finals.
"If I was really being followed by Real Madrid, I think the club and I would
know it," he told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"There is nothing true as it isn't true that I don't feel well in Turin.
"I live in a good way here so I'm staying at Juve to win the Champions League."
After rejecting a move to Real when at Roma, Emerson is more concerned with wearing Brazil's colours in Germany.
"I want to play in the World Cup because I haven't accepted the injury I had last time," he said in reference to missing out on the 2002 finals with a
shoulder problem.
"But I can't forget I'm a Juve player too and I must keep concentration on their targets too.
"We have the possibility to win the Champions League - that is our first
target."

hello everybody
this is my first post here
and i think it's obvious which team i support
(username)
imo you will soon get cassano,who is a great player,
but i really think that giannicheda and kovac can't help
juve.
I really hope milan gets Gila because alongside with sheva
and kaka,they will be the best trio in the world.
(if things don't change a lot in the other teams).

Anyway Welcome!
Birmingham co-owner David Sullivan has confirmed that the club are close to making two high calibre signings.
The Blues supremo revealed that he will tie up a deal for a striker and a midfielder in the next couple of weeks and that their identities could be surprising.
Sullivan has backed Steve Bruce unstintingly in the past and it would appear he is again willing to make a high-profile raid on the transfer market.
Chelsea duo Scott Parker and Mikael Forssell remain targets whilst speculation has also linked City with Lens striker John Utaka, Porto's Benny McCarthy - also a target for Blackburn - and Juventus midfielder Stephen Appiah.
"We are working hard behind the scenes to bring new players in," Sullivan told the Evening Mail.
"Our manager, Steve Bruce, has been overseas attending games, speaking to clubs and players.
"Something could come to a head in the next 10 days or so.
"We expect to sign an international striker and an international midfielder.
"People will be surprised who they are. That's all I'm saying."
Meanwhile, Bruce has urged defender Matthew Upson to pen the five-year deal currently on the table.
The former Arsenal stopper is stalling on inking a new contract as his representatives have informed the club that he may need to leave to realise his international ambitions.
However, Bruce remains confident that the 26-year-old will eventually commit his long-term future to St Andrews.
"I'm certainly not worried about anything. Matty's gone away to think about a five-year deal which is a very big step for anyone to take,'' said Bruce.
"He's been a fantastic player for us and we want him to fulfil his England ambitions with Birmingham City - which we feel that he can.
"I've said many times that in my opinion he is the best natural left-sided centre-half that we have in this country, but it is a position where there are so many talented players battling for places.
''We are blessed in that position."
