Cristián Zapata (1 Viewer)

[Firestarter]

The competition of Inter for the Portuguese Fernando Meira is much frightening, and the Juventus has already thought to the next possible alternative for its rear unit. Draft of the friulano defender of Udinese, Cristián Zapata, already observed in the past months from the withe black, that he hardly has 21 years old and a good experience in Series To.

Option for next season apparently.

Big guy, fast for a tall dude, good header...

 

[Adzke]

I've never seen him play. But isn't he a good player and a nice talent aswell? I hope he will become a Juventino. Aren't we on good terms with Udinese after the Iaquinta transfer?

One main aspect of this transfer along with the things Adzke, and mark mentioned is the fact that he has proper Serie A experience.

Wether it's for this season or the next, it would seem foolish not to go for him, if Udinese are willing to sell. It seems he's a promising player.

Especially when bearing in mind that Inter will sign any player we don't.

If we have the option for next year, than sure, if not, we should definitely purchase him this summer. If he has a similar season as 06/07, Milan, Inter, and a host of La Liga sides will be after him. In a way, he is a more sound long term investment than Criscito, since he is already proven in serie a.

one more defender is being looked at which suggests grygera is going to be first choice at right back and chiellini should remain as a left back..with both being options for for centre back if need be. add criscito and boumsong for bench and it gives the club plenty of options in defence, for this season anyway which isnt as demanding as next if we reach european comps.

therefore, realistically, getting another young defender wont make much sense as the crucial signing the club is looking for is a partner for Andrade. We have enough back up options already. I dont see Zapata being that partner for Andrade.

i dont know why ... but this is a feeling that i started to feel ..

i feel that Juve are not going for a new defender anymore .. i feel that these news are just tp calm the fans ..

i dont know why .. but if we played some friendly matches and we won them .. i feel that the managers will say that the team is strong and dosent need any addition..

i hope my feeling is wrong ..

 

[Firestarter]

Nah, the managment themselves said that we would sign atleast another center back.

 

[memo_juve]

ya i know ... its just a feeling

 

[Adrian]

well your feeling could be true, as zebina has stayed maybe he is first choice as right back with grygera at centre back with andrade...

andrade, grygera, zebina, chiellini, birindelli, molinaro, criscito and boumsong....that gives us enough cover for all positions across the defence...it may not be world class but its still complete in terms of positions.

i would hate to think the club wouldnt go for another good centre back though.

 

[Dostoevsky]

We might give Giannichedda +$$ for Zapata.

thats what makes me worry

 

[Arvin]

cant we loan only alex for this season and we will have good time to think about next defender...or mybe we should buy alex....

 

[David01]

all bases are covered, we clearly couldn't get our first choice.
lets wait for next season then we will hopefully play CL!

 

[memo_juve]

i assume the managers are hoping that the team picks a spot for the CL, so they start investing then instead of now on a new defender ..
i'm not saying they didnt invest this year ... they did a greaaaaaat job ..
but i feel, they will stop at this point ..

Zapata would be a good addition, not as proven as alot of the other defenders we been linked with, but he has shown great potential and has proved he can cut it in Serie A. I dont know if he is the one to sort out our CB problem, Zapata is young, and so is Criscito so i say why not just give him a chance.

Zapata is valued at around 12 million euros, but Juve are hoping to lower his price by throwing Giannichedda into the deal. On paper it seems interesting, but apparently Milan and Inter are also in the chase.

 

[Salvatore]

Giannichedda plus cash for him is very good.

 

[rounder]

I really want to give criscito a chance , he may have a lot of potential but depending on him for defense this season is just too risky . Zapata is more of a safer option than criscito since he has all ready played in serie A . The fact that he is young is a plus . Zapata isnt our best option , but our options have become very few lately , right now anything a little above average will do .
