David Trezeguet (53 Viewers)

[V]

25m is a good price for a 31 year old TBH.Yes he'sa quality finisher,but he's not getting younger.Sooner or later we will need a replacement for him,and evne though he still have 2-3 top years left in him,no team will pay 25m for a 33 year old.Even at 31..25m is overpriced,but that is to our advantage.

So...just because of age we should sell him? Doesn't matter that he's doing his job and can do it in the future as well? Why didn't we do that with Nedved, DP or others before, when they reached the age:30 mark? It was a different case with Zidane, who wanted to leave, but to sell Trezeguet like this, at this point in time, after 8 years would be shameful.

Its not age alone.Its the simple fact that he isnt getting any younger,and we wont get a 25m offer for him after 2-3 years.Ofocurse he's doing his job,and he's got a few more years left in him.Ive already said tha.But If he's to be sold,then this is the best time.We'd be getting 25m,which will be sufficent to find a quality replacement for him.Nedved joined us at 29,and Del Piero is a club icon,so their cases are different.Trezeguet is a Juventus legend as far as im concerned,but if you're building a team for the future,then you need to take these things into account.Every player,yes,every player has a price.I love David and it'll be hard seeing him go,but 25m is more than we could ask for.

Zanetti, Camoranesi, Buffon? All (about) the same age as Trez and all of them are worth a certain amount now and won't be worth jack shit in 2 years time. Why not sell them as well? When building a team for the future you need to keep the core of the team in tact, that's the most important thing, and Trezeguet is part of that core.

That swap will never happen. Rest assured!

 

[sallyinzaghi]

the best solution is out there .. win the champions league, get millions out of that, and then trez can retire at juventus it's a win win situation!

 

[Alen]

We can wipe our asses with the 25M if we can't find another 20+ goals striker.

Really, what's the use of the 25m if we're going to spend them on another striker who won't guarantee us what Trez guarantees ?
Trez's replacement should play for Juve at the same time with him so we can be sure that if we lose Trez we have the guy to replace him.
Just like it happened with Inzaghi and Trezeguet.

I kind of agree with Salman and with you Vlatko. both are valid reasons. But I think it is the money that we're after.

And it is better to replace older players one by one at a time, rather than burning the entire squad and get new ones. Same issue with Milan.

If we start with Trez, that's because we have 5 strikers already. And he would be worth the money.

Next season might be Iaq, Nedved or Zanetti..

The change will happen, slowly bu surely.. And for that, you need the cash..

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juventus have drawn up a three man striker shortlist for next season, including Klaas Jan Huntelaar, Fabio Quagliarella and Bafetimbi Gomis.

OMG. So only age count? No way Trezegol is staying here! All this is Tuttosport bullshit . I think Iaquinta is going to leave, and yes, in that option, Huntelaar can join Juve. WITH TREZEGUET.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

We need four strikers, no less, so it's probably gonna be Palladino (though I don't know how much we can exactly get off him) .. Iaquinta is an adequate, if not more, replacement, considering we are fighting for the scudetto and cl this season.

 

[Cronios]

I dont think that this interest is really a serious one...
25 mil is a good sum indeed and Amauri+Iaq+DP assure our offensive effectiveness in such a level, we can now afford to risk Treze's replacement,
more than any other moment.
We are bound to lose Treze one day,it is smth inevitably, today we can lose him for 25, while we already have an experienced forward line.
If his successor wont cope, the effects would be minimum!
Objectively, Salman is right!

But we shouldnt accept anything less than 25 mil and we should replace him with another CF, like Huntelaar, not Cassano!!

If someone offers us 25m for Del Piero none of you will say that we should sell, even though that will be a top deal from a pure business aspect.
I'm aware that this is the best time to sell Trez if we have plans to sell him one day, just like it's the best time to sell Buffon. But for once we should act like Milan and keep our best players.

Milan can get millions for Pirlo or Gattuso. It's the best time for them to sell these two. But you'll never see them sell their stars (unless the star players demand a transfer).

 

[V]

Bah screw you all. When he's scoring 15 goals in as much games, everyone loves him and wouldn't think of selling him for all the money in the world. But as soon as he hits a 5 games/no goal slump, or when the season finishes and the initial excitement wears off, 50% of those that cheered on him are itching to sell him "if the money is right". Bunch of hypocrites. It's like that for years now, I just wonder did Man U fans felt the same way about Ruud, or Milan fans about Pippo, or is it specific for Trezeguet and Juventus.


Well said Alen.

Juve: Trezeguet Is 'Untouchable’

Trezeguet has been strongly linked with a summer move to the Blaugrana over the past week or so, and the Spanish giants' coach Josep Guardiola has reportedly made the Frenchman his number one transfer aim.

A few days ago Juventus sporting director Jean Claude Blanc declared that there was no chance that Trezeguet would be sold, however only yesterday there was fresh speculation in Italy that the Old Lady would be willing to accept a bid of €25 million.

This appeared to be supported by Trezeguet's agent Antonio Caliendo, who stated: "The offer will have to be very high to convince Juve to give up a centre forward of this level."

Bianconeri director Gianpaolo Montali has now attempted to end all the paper talk, and has labelled Trezeguet as "untouchable".

The 30-year-old had a stunning 2007/08 campaign, finishing second in the race for the Capocannoniere after scoring 20 goals in Serie A. Incredibly this wasn't enough for him to earn a place in the France Euro 2008 squad.

If he said he is not selling him, why is there speculation? It's ridiculous. :melayyanandmessi:

9/10 here agree with you, who're you talking to?

While 25M is a fair price, IMO, we shouldn't take it. David is essential to this team, he's perfectly integrated, everyone knows exactly what kind of balls you have to provide him and that guarantees us 15+ league goals from this man alone. Heck, it's more like 20 goals. I just can't think of a single striker who'd be able to net so much goals for us. Certainly not one we could buy for 25M.

He's 31, so what? does that affect his play? he never relied on running speed or extraordinary dribbles, so I don't see what he'd lose with a few years more. His goal instinct (probably the best in the world) will not vanish and as long as he's motivated he'll be the first on the ball in the box for many years to come.

Some say he doesn't contribute to the play besides scoring goals. That is just not true. I guess you have to see him live to understand that (as: in the stadium), this guy runs a lot more than you'd think. He always manages to be in the right position, and most of the time he'll attract more than one defender to follow him, thus leaving more space to the ball artists.

Also, I'm a huge fan of out and out strikers. A good, solid presence in the attack is essential for my liking, as he'll always give an option to give a pass in the direction of the goal. This struck me especially when seeing Barca-ManU in the CL. Messi was working like crazy between tens of Manc defenders, but he never got to find a striker to pass the ball through. So he'd give the ball to an attacking full-back, but this guy couldn't give a cross in because there was no one to head it in. Eto'o was on the left, on the right, got back a little... Same happened on the other side. Rooney was everywhere on the field but in the box.

When you play dominant football (and that's what we do in roughly 30 matches a season) you just need to have a finisher in the box, ready to receive the ball and volley, head or just tap the ball in. And Trezeguet belongs to the bests in the world for that role.

 

[HelterSkelter]

Ok im convinced.The part about the team being accustomed to Trezeguet's style didnt occur to me.

So screw everyone.

Forza Trezeguet:scarf:
