You contradicted yourself, but the second point is correct, hence Conte's moaning in the press conference. We got the better deal from selling Matri, but I agree with Conte's opinion of having a more classical CF as the 5th striker.

The real contrast here for selling Quagliarella is Giovinco, if he was not at the club both would remain. I've thought all along that we would never sell Giovinco but for a huge offer, which was never likely to come, simply because we would give him another year. It remains to be seen whether Giovinco will actually be useful, but his age and transfer fee means he stays at the current expense of others.

I realised that it does sound like a bit of a contradiction at the time of writing it :D, but I think a lot of that lack of control Conte had in the mercato was somewhat restored post the angry interview.

According to the latest reports, Arsenal had a €9m deal for Fabio Quagliarella until Juventus Coach Antonio Conte pulled the plug.

Italian transfer expert Tancredi Palmeri made the revelations this afternoon, though the actual events are said to have happened on Friday.

It’s claimed Arsenal had a basic agreement in place with Juventus to buy striker Quagliarella for €9m – approximately £7.6m.

However, at that precise moment Conte was giving a Press conference in which he bitterly complained at the sales of Alessandro Matri to Milan and Emanuele Giaccherini to Sunderland.

Reiterating he needed all his forwards and had been “forced” to accept these decisions, Conte pointed out the team had been “weakened.”

News filtered through to the Juve directors, who after a quick phone conversation with Conte had to tell Arsenal the Quagliarella deal was off.

Quagliarella has also been linked with West Ham and clubs in Qatar, but with Matri’s departure it seems as if he will remain in Turin.
What a fucking leech Quag is, I tell you.

No fukin way we will sign Gila. I like the guy but come on iss too late for us to get him.

Iw ould be a million times better to just keep quags who knows us and is a reliable forward.

I actually don't care what happens the rest of this mercato, Nainggolian, Gilardino or whatever, as long as this striker stays where he belongs. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if he leaves, we will regret it.

I makes no sense to let go of a player who knows our tactics and playing style, especially this late in the transfer season. See no reason why Gila is better than him. Hope he stays.
Does he? He never really fit. If he did, he'd have been a sure starter, because he's a much better goalscorer than both Vucinic and Giovinco. Conte wants the players to understand his ideas well and to play the way he's telling them to play. Quag never really did it.

Imo Conte will be strongly pro Gilardino and Gila will be getting a lot of playing time, just like Borriello did.

"He has flown in to take a medical"

I dont believe this report regardless.I dont think we'll loan him out.Either outright sale or he stays here.

True, the more I think about it, the more I can smell bullshit. I mean, if he truly went to England, there would have been pictures of him at the airport, either in Turin or in England and so on....

THERE IS STILL HOPE!
