I guess we recouped our investment, a sound transfer but we could've made the better choice of selling Blasi or Tacchinardi.

True, but the other two cannot bring you that sum of money.

we need now to sell micolli , it seems no one wants him

 

[baggio]

Miccoli will probably be heading to Palermo. Although Tacchi could be on his way to Inter in a straight swap for C.Zanetti. That's pretty stupid if you ask me. Both are as bad as each other, and Id just rather hold on to Tacchi for sentiment if not anything else.

i hope we got a buy back clause on Appiah or a first option. Because i really do think he can become a great player and will flourish at Fenerbache.

Blasi Juve exit unlikely Tuesday 19 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manuele Blasi’s agent has dismissed whispers that the Juventus player could be heading for Fiorentina.

The central midfielder has been linked, especially after working with boss Cesare Prandelli in the past at Parma.

But the Italian international’s representative insists that the youngster will still be wearing the Bianconeri shirt next term.

"There is nothing new to report on Blasi," Davide Lippi told the fiorentinanews.com website.

"I think he will stay at Juventus. The Turin club have never demonstrated a desire to sell him."

Fiorentina are in search of a new midfielder after also being linked with Reggina’s Santos Mozart and Cristiano Zanetti of Inter.

But Lecce captain Cristian Ledesma is another who is of interest to the big spending Tuscan club.

"I can confirm that Fiorentina are interested in my client," agent Vincenzo D'Ippolito told the same website.

"There are others who are keen on him too such as Inter and Juventus.

"Obviously Lecce will have the last say in the matter as the player is an indispensable figure for them.

"But I’m sure they would listen if somebody knocked on their door. The Giallorossi would want money, not a cash plus player deal."

see you later new davids

I guess it's best for him considering he needs playing time to prepare for 2006 WC. I think we should have a buy back clause, this guy will be a good CM IMO.

 

[Lippi.am]

Now it's official

Good luck, Stephen!

 

[Mr. Gol]

For god's sake, he is already 24 years old. Davids was the best midfielder in the world at that age. Appiah has never meeted the expectations, didn't want to sit on the bench and we got a lot of money for him. I don't see any reason to be disappointed with this deal.

 

[venom]

I hope he'll now get to play in a proper role instead of as a defensive midfielder. The pressure to perform shouldn't also be that huge now. Good luck Stephen.

 

[baggio]

For a minute i thought he was posing with Dolce & Gabbana. Maybe because of the bald dude on the left.

Appiah departs Turin Wednesday 20 July, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Juventus midfielder Stephen Appiah has agreed to join Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

The arrival of Patrick Vieira from Arsenal last week left Appiah knowing that his time in Turin was up.

The writing had been on the wall for most of the summer though, as several English sides eyed up the 24-year-old.

He was the subject of a loan enquiry from Middlesbrough and Juventus even tried to offer him to Arsenal as bait in the Vieira deal.

However, Fenerbahce came to the Bianconeri with an offer of around £5.5m, which met their valuation of the player.

The fee will be paid in eight instalments spread over four years, which is thought to be the length of Appiah’s deal in Turkey.

 

[Stu]

A good deal for all parties involved. Fenerbahce have got a quality player in Appiah who needs and deserves to be playing first team football, whereas Juve had no choice but to offload a central midfield player given the overstock in that position and the transfer fee will do nicely for us.

Arrivaderci, Appiah!

There's another good one gone.. I'd rather have seen blasi go..
