Why you are laughing Nicko. Saw you saying on VS that you are not convinced by Malouda and you'd prefer Elia and now quickly you changed your opinion
which is exactly what Juve need ... I've always liked Malouda, ever since his first Lyon days and he integrated himself in the EPL and Chelsea really well - he's been their best player in attack along with Drogba these past 2-3 seasons.
Only issues for Juve could be his age but if the fee is low enough, he would give you plenty of quality for another couple of years - enough time to figure out a quality replacement. Provided he won't cost much, I'd take him over Bastos, Vargas, Elia, Perotti etc.

If theres two things that put me off Malouda is his pace, he doesnt have the same sort of pace he did have at Lyon, but then to be fair he wont need much pace to cut it in serie A. The other would be his crosses. Dont remember many of his assists coming via crosses. However I stick by my claim that he will be a quality signing and we shouldnt hesitate.
he sure ain't getting any faster but he is a quality player, a smart player on the pitch too ... straight-line speed ain't gonna get you anywhere on its own (see Krasic).
Malouda is, I'd say, quite easily the best option for the LW among all players linked with Juve this summer - not counting rumours like Nani, Ribery, Afellay - and would give the team a real leap of quality on the left, imo.
