Fenerbahce's Alex suspected of match-fixing in Turkish scandal - report
Police in Turkey have handed authorities a document of evidence in which it is alleged the midfielder was involved in the fixing of games
Fenerbahce's Brazilian midfielder Alex is alleged to have played a part in the recent match-fixing scandal that has engulfed Turkish football.

Hurriyet reports that the 32-year-old captain is under investigation after police in Istanbul handed an 800-page dossier to prosecutors relating to the scandal.

The document is said to state that Alex spoke to a number of officials at Trabzonspor and Bursapor in which he is said to have fixed the game between those two clubs.

Prosecutors are now expected to question the midfielder who has played for Fenerbahce since 2004.

The Super Lig side recently avoided relegation after the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) ruled that there was not enough evidence to prosecute those caught up in the scandal which included senior figures at Trabzonspor and Besiktas.

However, the Turkish criminal justice system is still carrying out investigations and a future, possibly revised, decision is likely to arrive through the courts.

The Turkish Super Cup tie between Fenerbahce and Besiktas had previously been cancelled, while the Super Lig has been delayed by a month as a result of the investigation.

:sergio: How is that crap? They are just reporting news. Goal hardly comes up with any of their news. So it's just the crap from other sources :D. They always have very Juve-biased articles as well :tuttosport:.

I was kind of leaning more towards Alex, but to be fair and honest I haven't seen much of both them. I've seen Alex more because he plays for Chelsea and I regularly tune into the EPL, but I never bothered to watch much of the Turkish league, I've only seen Lugano play for Uruguay.

At this point I don't care who we get, just get Bonucci out of there.

My point about Afellay was that I mentioned him as a Juve target before there were any rumours in the media, and Nick can attest to that :stuckup:

:D

anyways, it's probably nothing you already don't know - it seems Juve is between Perotti and Afellay now, with Elia and Vargas relegated to the back of the queue; Afellay could go to Juve or Sevillia, thus freeing Perotti for Juve.

Personally, I don't see the point of missing out on Afellay and then pay almost 1.5x and even 2x the price for Perotti but I guess it would be up to Conte and whether you can get Alex on a Marotta deal or not.

LW would expect to be between Vargas, A. Pereira, and Bastos ... thought you would/should have tried harder for Mata but he seems to be gone now.
For some reason, I still think you might have a go at Afellay, especially if Barca were to sign Fabregas - they could use the money for the Fab deal and could possibly move Iniesta up-front, which would render Afellay sirplus to requirements.

;)

PM I received from acmilan, around a month back.
