Vinman, you're like Glum on the old Adventures of Gulliver cartoons (that's Glum third from the left): our institutional doomsayer.

But I appreciate that... we always need the reality check. ;)

Juventus snub Trez sub
Tuesday 12 October, 2004

Juventus have dismissed speculation that they will buy in January as a result of David Trezeguet’s injury.

The striker will have shoulder surgery next week and could be out of action for as long as four months.

Reports suggested that the club may look to buy a new forward in the New Year but they insist that won’t occur.

"Trezeguet will be back in mid January and people who believe we are looking for someone else are mistaken," said director general Luciano Moggi.

"An operation was needed in this case but David will return to give his contribution when others may feel a little tired.

"For now, we will just look to keep moving forward in the best possible way with the champions we have at our disposal.

"Fortunately we have players like Alessandro Del Piero, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcelo Zalayeta available."

Nevertheless, rumours persist that the Turin giants will make a swoop in the January transfer window.

Brescia youngster Andrea Caraccioli has been linked even if the Lombard club insist he won’t be cheap.

"Juventus will never buy him because they will not meet my asking price," said chief Gino Corioni.

"Caracciolo is worth £7m but they would offer me £2m and a player that they bought for £5m – something I am not interested in."

Udinese’s Dino Fava has also been associated but he’s not keen. "It is nice to hear your name linked because it means you are considered as a good player," he said.

"But I am staying at Udinese as I am happy here and eager to do well."

    Trez eyes speedy recovery
    Tuesday 12 October, 2004

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

    David Trezeguet is confident that he could be back in action sooner than many are expecting.

    Juventus believe that the player, who will have shoulder surgery next week, will be available again my late January.

    But the Frenchman is optimistic that he can be at the disposal of the Coach within the space of three months.

    "I could be back sooner than many are predicting," Trezeguet told the Tuttosport newspaper on Tuesday.

    "Auxerre’s Finnish player Tainio, for example, had the same operation as I am set to have and he was playing again after 10 weeks."

    The decision to go under the knife was taken yesterday as Trezeguet has been plagued with the problem for almost a year.

    "After picking up the injury again at Udinese it was impossible to carry on without surgery," he added.

    "The decision to have the operation was my choice, I spoke to boss Fabio Capello and he trusts me.

    "It is disappointing to stop at this moment in time as I was in good form. But the consultation with professor Walch removed any doubts.

    "I’m remaining positive about things because I’m sure that I will be back, without any more physical problems, better than ever."

    Trezeguet’s absence leaves the Turin giants short of strikers and there is talk that Marcelo Salas could be recalled in January.

    The Chilean, 29, is currently on loan with River Plate but his agent hasn’t ruled out a return in the New Year.

    "It is not a decision that we can make," said his representative. "However, if we got the call…"

    Wait, lemme get this straight. There's a void in attack because Trezeguet is out for 3-4 months and Del Piero is injury prone. We're going to try to fill that void with someone like Salas who is arguably even more injury prone than both Trez and DP? Nah, I don't think so..
