Fabio Quagliarella (27 Viewers)

You might as well give him the number 10 if that's the case. The youth product argument does not and should not cut it at this level. DC is a youth product. Don't see us keeping him. And before you make a reference to Marchisio, he is on a whole other level compared to Gio, in the context of Juventus.

He earns 2.1 right now right?

Norwich City have made some astute signings this summer and could be on the verge of another eye-catching deal. According to reports in Italy, Norwich are closing in on the signing of Juventus striker Fabio Quagliarella, with the Italian champions needing to sell a forward after bringing in Carlos Tevez and Fernando Llorente.

Anything in this world now seems possible after the move by Giaccherini to Sunderland.

Norwich has an underrated manager who did a fine job at Newcastle United but suffered at the hands of a crazy owner, Mike Ashley, who appears to see Zamparini as a perfect role model.

There is absolutely no doubting the seriousness of the bid of €8m which has reportedly been made yesterday.

I can just imagine the intense pleasure felt by Marotta when he heard about this approach by the Canaries, quickly dispelled by his next thought that Quagliarella would almost certainly reject advances from a club that might best be described as the Premier Leagues equivalent to Chievo, principally because he loves Juve and wants to stay and enjoy more success with us, even if it meant playing a key role as a benchwarmer.

That said, there are positives that might not occur to many, including the bonus of having the world famous chefess Delia Smith as a Director. Delia, whose culinary talents extend to mouthwatering recipes for numerous Italian variations of classic pasta dishes as well as providing matchday meals of Michelin **** standards. Fabio would just gobble them up happily.

Norwich is unquestionably a very attractive city, just like Verona really minus an outdoor opera venue like the Arena di Verona. However something tells me that he isn't an aficionado of that kind of music anyway. More of a George Benson fan I suspect.

At his time of life, a left-field idea like this move to the EPL might just float his boat.

That post took an unexpected turn

Would you guys accept 8m for quag or would u want 10+

 

[Luftwaffles]

I think that €8m is about right given all the circumstances viz :-

1) His age and estimated depreciation value
2) The need for us to invest in a LWB (eg Kolarov) without breaking into cash reserves
3) We would save €2.1m on his wages in readiness for Kolarov's wage or alternative

I think Kolarov would earn about the same

Id take the 8m and keep Matri and just buy a lwb and maybe a winger or bonaventura and end the mercato

 

[Bianconero_Aus]

Hope this news is true, €8M is a pretty damn good offer for him, and I think the chance to play in the EPL and earn a pretty good wage there might be attractive to him.

Not any less or more attractive as Everton or West Ham would be for Matri.

Another 8 milion, please sell.

Where is the obligatory EPL fan to discuss this potential move

Why would we sell both Matri and Quag if we dont intend on bringing in a new striker?

Norwich have no fans.

The funny thing is, if either of those teams come in with a very good offer, if be more than happy if the club sold him.

13m seems to be Everton's offer. I would take it. The best thing about such deals is the fact that we are letting these players go to teams that will not be a rival to us in the league or CL. So we are in Norway strengthening or sharing our players with them.

Selling him to Norwich is a disgrace. A fucking disgrace! He deserves better.

Where was I saying we'll sell both? Was just alluding to the fact that West Ham or Everton may come in with a better value offer for Matri, in which case we will sell him. Whoever gets the higher bid will probably be sold imo. I dont think Conte cares for one or the other. But i think Matri has his heart set on Milan if he moves. Quag might move for good money. Honestly, I don't see us sell both to finance JoJo. If we are after JoJo we'll probably sell one of Quag/Mwtri and Vucinic. Coz I don't see JoJo, Vucinic and Gio making a go of it on the bench. Selling one of the two now, will simply be to raise money for Diamanti/Bonaventura/Nani.

Selling him to Norwich is a disgrace. A $#@!ing disgrace! He deserves better.

Quag has that unpredictability in his game that Ma-tree lacks. Someone like Quag could mean the difference between winning or losing a tie in the CL.

I'd like to see him at Real Sociedad or back at Napoli. But it depends on whose paying what kind of money and how they're paying it. Outright or loan etc.

Maybe even the title.
