My bet is he's posturing to keep Palladino. My bet is he's hoping that if he talks tough, Juventus will come to the table and release Palladino in exchange for Genoa not taking their chances on trying to secure Criscito. Even then, I thought Genoa only had the option to secure 50%. Wouldn't Juventus then be able to call them into bid for the other half?
I highly doubt anything is 99% probable for Genoa. If they knew they had Criscito, why would they be rumored to be after Dossena?

He is half a Juve player who was sent away on loan with an option to buy the other half at the end of the loan. I was never optimistic about him returning because the ball was always in their court. At least Ciro made it clear he wanted him back but Criscito likes playing in Genoa and was alienated here last season. His treatment after the Roma game was unforgivable really.
We can continue to hope for the 1% chance the Genoa president spoke of but I hope we do not just grab ahold of any old LB just because we lose Criscito (if we infact do lose him)
I would sooner start DC (if he is ready to be a starter or not) than go with some shmuck LB and force another good youngster out. We should take a lesson from Mourinho.

This is exactly the way I feel as well. Palla is the bargaining chip, and I think we should work a deal to sell him outright to Genoa.
He's a Juventus player, on loan at Genoa. We own him 100% right now, Genoa have an option to buy half of his contract. If they do this, it more than likely means we can't come to any sort of agreement, and then I believe there would be a blind auction for the other half of his contract.
Plus, our relationship with Genoa would likely be in the shitter, which isn't great for us, but is definitely worse for them.
This is from WIKI, so it can't be confirmed 100%, but I'm pretty sure it's correct.
"Criscito started his professional career at Genoa, for which made his debut in Serie B in June 2003 at the age of 16. In the summer of 2004 Genoa sold 50% of the rights to Juventus for €150.000. He played for the youth team of Juventus in the following two seasons, winning the Italian youth championship in 2006 and scoring the opening goal in the final match against Fiorentina. In 2006-2007 he went to play for Genoa, this time in the first team, proving himself as one of the best Serie B defenders and earning a place in Italy's Under-21 national team.
In January 2007, Juventus bought the remaining 50% of Criscito for a combined price of €7.5 million. This was paid by the co-ownership of Masiello and Konko to Genoa, and €5.25 million. He also signed a new contract with Juventus which will last until June 30, 2011."
