Juve: Melo not official... yet Wednesday 8 July, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Juventus President Giovanni Cobolli Gigli claims Felipe Melo’s signing “is not official yet,” but it is just a matter of red tape.
The two clubs reportedly reached an agreement late last night worth around £21m, including winger Marco Marchionni as part of the exchange.
“He is not our player yet,” explained the Bianconeri patron. “There have been and there are some negotiations, but the official completion of the operation is still missing.
“When it is all official, you will be told.”
It’s believed Juventus are waiting for the close of the financial markets this evening, as the club is floated on the stock market and does not wish to spike its share price.
Arsenal were thought to be the favourites for the Brazilian midfielder, but Juve staged a sensational swoop.
“The matter has not yet been concluded, but I hope it will be soon,” added Cobolli Gigli.
“Marchionni to Fiorentina? The details will emerge later on.”
Viola fans are furious to see one of their star players sold to their biggest rivals, as graffiti has appeared around the city declaring: 'Melo to Juve = No season tickets

I think it means that since the stock market is still open that there is still a chance the stocks could get better for the day. Spending 21m could skew investors and influence the value of their stock prices for the day. Once it's closed, the purchase won't effect the price of Juventus stock. That is my guess, where is Andy when you need him?
Sissoko IMO will be bottom cuz Melo has better offensive powers. Melo will most certain link up with our Left-back from center and cover for him if LB decides to go all the way. Camo on other hand will have a different role,more towards the side rather that central role. You can't exclude his crossing in any kind of formation. If we loose ball there,Sissoko will be there as he can cover for 2 guys as we seen last season. That would be my style if I was Ciro..... and I'm not
Cobolli Giggle said its a matter of red tape like he did Diego, nice nice, this is really done. Not the confirmation I wanted yet, but damn, quite nice we are actually signing him.
And I like our strong midfield with strong DMs, 3 of them, but I would prefer Camo playing ahead of Marchisio, just to have extra offensive quality. Its too robust otherwise, its vital as fuuuuuuuuuuuck we get quality offensive fullbacks now. Sign Andre Santos already please, not Grosso (though would be decent signing short term). But with RB, I'm dumbfounded, perhaps complete the brazilian mercato with Rafinha?
