Honestly, I would personally pack his bags if we got 12-15 mil for him...
yes , there really is no reason not too , especially the way he reacted to man cuty's offer . but i still consider him better than legro , boum , biri , molinaro , ZEBINA etc...

why not sell players with no use at all rather than a player with some promise ?
id like to see legro boum biri zebina go Altogether for 12 mill . give a chance to younger players like criscito for being a sub , sign 2 defenders , one quality cb or a relatively gd left back and play chiellini in the center .

Our defense woud look much better that way imo

So someone here, at least partially shares my opinion. Legro, Boum & Zebina are players who can only perform up to certain levels, & even if used as "back up" only I wouldn't like to have to depend on any one of them. Birindelli, I have some affection for. His failing now is more down to the ageing process...

Ok, just two things to say..

1) I've never considered him a player for Juve.. He has only a strong body, but his feet..
2) His words in the press conference.. He is a Juve Player, he must think that he's a lucky man and player.. He signed his new agree with Juve in the LAST SEASON.

Yeah pretty weird. A few weeks ago he was labeled a true juventino and a great prospect and even future captain. Tbh I can understand Girogio a bit,I mean which player doesn't want to have a starting place.Besides I think he earns a pay rise after all the good performances last year,not a huge one but at least from for example 900000 € to 1200000 or sth like that.I don't think Juve would go bankrupt after that;). I would be glad to keep him IF he's willing to stay with heart at Juve.

well ... the fact that he did sign again for juve in the very season they were relegated is actually a very positive note for this player .

This player has just lost a future with juventus due to his selfishness and ego . however , i did have a lot of hope in this player but his recent comments were just a reflection of his true-self . its a pitty to have to let him go this way

yes but the fact that he stated he wanted to play for man city and NOT juve shows that he isn't the player we all thought he was .
it wasn't the raise that was the problem for me , it was just his attitude that i didn't like

Call me a cynic if you like. I'm never against a man trying to better himself, financially or otherwise but I think Giorgio was looking for the easy way out here in considering Man.City...& yes, if he's willing to stay with the right attitude I'm not objecting.

I still have the hope that his statngs are invented by the press.

But the question is: Why would he want to go out despite the money?He has all he needs at Juve,even a starting place.Man City is nothing compared to Juve.

Exactly :agree: I don't see a point in having a dozen of average player instead of having 4 good CB's. Even I would keep Zebina and Boum (as a backup) for at least one reason and that is we don't have better players than them. But I don't see a point in keeping Legro too and Birindelli, I really appreciate him for hi loyality and everything he has done for us, but to be real he can't offer us anything more. And one thing I would want is that Juve rid of all players they don't want and then we could see what players we really need.

I also rember that Chiellini also stated that he doesn't want to go back to Juve when he was at Fiorentina also cuz he wanted first team place. But he returned and played really good, which means that his words doesn't mean that much. However I'm also a bit disappointed with his attitude cuz I rate him really high and I'm sure he could develop in excellent CB.

Also it sounds really tempting to sell Chieliini and buy Heinze and Meira cuz that would mean we gonna have a really strong defence. But still I'm sure that we could buy Meira without selling Chiellini.

I think the whole Chiellini saga was made to make him leave and pave the way for Lippi to coach Juve as soon as possible. Blasi will leave too to make that go easily.

Anyway, Chiellini's agent Davide Lippi was yesterday in Manchester to convince them to increase the offer for his player.

I don't think juve's management is going to sack ranierie because he lost a couple of "friendlies ". I think they will wait untill at least the christmass break before they pass judgement on him , and that's only fair IMO .
