Does anyone know when will be the first press conference of Capello and the new players?

Moggi agreed to buy Ferrari, Mexes and Morientes... nah, but one can still dream... I'm pretty sure that this Vieri-saga is just a smokescreen...

I think the Cheva rumors are the smokescreen Why do we need such a player? He cant replace Trez who is 99.9% leaving it seems. We need a goal scorer and Vieri is such a player. He would be perfect to teach a young player like the ones we are after.

DP
Vieri
Miccoli
Gilaardino/Cavenaghi/Zlatan

and probably a 5th forward of some sort also if Kapo is not considered that player in emergency or tactical times. That is what I think will happen.

Shit, Bobo is gonna cost us a bomb.. and I hate his attitude.. whyyy oh whyyy

 

[polaris]

if a bomb means getting rid of Di Vaio, I am willing to give that up.

Vieri is not worth a lot now being 32 years old.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

i dont know about that. there is a little thing called "wages"

 

[Desmond]

this is what i warned everyone about.

vieri's move has hit a major snag to the tune of a missing 2.2m a seaon and a transfer fee,while emerson may be headed to real.

not every day is a sunday-hope some of you have realized that by now.

Why would anyone want to take a 50% pay cut at any job??

With Veron, and Carvahlo possibly coming on board for Inter, who's to say that Vieri would be in a better situation here.

 

[Desmond]

exactly.i told you guys moggi has never loosened the purse strings and is not about to do so now,however big the player.

he just proved my point by offering vieri half of what he earns at inter.

 

[KB824]

And a 2.2 million dollar pay cut to go from a 4th place team to a 3rd place team isn't worth it.

I sure as hell wouldn't do it. I didn't want him back here, anyways.

 

[Desmond]

neither do i.

much rather we got a young forward like gilardino or cavenaghi,although the latter is very unlikely to say the least.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

Vieri secures us goals, that's most important, but if it means losing Maresca, a high wage etc, Vieri isn't worth that IMO.

 

[KB824]

So does Trezeguet, and I don't see Barcelona and Arsenal beating down Morratti's door to make an offer for Vieri.

 

[sallyinzaghi]

Sorry serge, I didn't really get what you mean, would you mind elaborating a bit more?

 

[KB824]

OK, Sally. No problem.

What I'm saying is that Trezeguet secures goals for us as well, he's 4 years younger than Vieri, if he is re-signed would still be cheaper than what Vieri would command, and Arsenal and Barcelona are both trying very hard to get Trez, while I don't see anyone (except for Juve, or course) even attempting to make a run at Vieri.

 

[Desmond]

in other words,we're making fools out of ourselves.

What I think he meant was that Trez secures goals too

 

[sallyinzaghi]

ah alright, thanks. I've always wanted Trez to stay in Juve, which is unlikely, but what's worse is that if he's replaced by Vieri who would have more cons than pros

 

[Desmond]

i think trez staying would be better than a move for vieri.obviously vieri would add a couple of dimensions to our attack but they are insignificant compared to the problems he'd bring.

imagine him and dp in the lineup,the most injury-prone strikeforce in serie a and possibly the world.

and one of the most expensive.

besides,i don't think vieri would be able to maintain that high standard for 4 years at 31.

 

[KB824]

And with the money that they would shell out for Vieri, who exactly would be our backups once they both get injured??



Miccoli and Benjamin??

 

[Desmond]

uh huh

actually micco and benjy sound like a really exciting combination to me,although i've never seen them play together.
