if it is any consolation, i was watching the italy game on al jezeera sport the other night, and ray wilkins (ex assistant manager to ancelotti) at chelsea said that he believes Juve had made a bid for alex at around 10 mill, how reliable that is remains to be seen, since he no longer has ties with the club.
Ray Wilkins? Take that to the bank. I would say he's one of the most well respected people with regards to the Chelsea squad. If Alex knows, it's entirely possible he told Ray or somebody who is in regular contact with Ray.
so was everyone. He did go in front of all major tv's a month ago and said that he will be staying with Gala because Fatih Terim is back and Terim is like his 2nd father. Everybody was pretty sure that he was staying. He had 2 years contract remaining, so if we didn't sell him, we would have not sell him for more next year for sure.
Most of the fans don't like him right now because he didn't keep his word, including Fatih Terim who had the biggest contribution in his career.
Haha. Instead of sticking your nose to our business, I think you should more focus on your team since last time you were in CL, people thought world was flat and George Washington was president of United States

Haven't followed the news recently, so tell me, Arda Turan, the Turkish combination of Messi and Ronaldo, the starlet who is by far better than Ozil, the great great Turan who was surely going to stay at Gala, left them for Atletico Madrid, for 12m?

They're both Turkish, so obviously you don't know them better than us. And you're twisting words because nobody said Arda is far better than Mesut.
He went for 12+1 millions because he has 2 years remaining in his contract. If we didn't sell him this year, we would not be able to sell him for higher price next year. You can't sell anybody from Turkey more than 15 millions even if he's Ronaldo or Messi. Because Turkish league doesn't have the market for it. If Pastore played in Turkey, do you think he would have gone to PSG for over 40 mil? Of course not. Would you buy Melo from us for 24? Of course not.
It's not how much you can sell a player, its how great performance you get from him. We will see how he plays at Atletico. He's going to double his value in 2 years.
Just like Hernandez. Ferguson got him for 7 millions and he plays in every game. Do you think his value is same this year? Can Juventus buy him from Man Utd for 7 millions? If he was Italian or Spanish, Man Utd would never got him for 7 millions. They got him for so cheap because he's mexican.
