I've just finished reading the article which includes the interview with Buffon. So, here is the situation right now; Buffon is 29, he is eager to taste the highest footballing level again, he announced also that he'd discuss his future with the club and he is confident that we still have four or five years to compete with the likes of Inter and Milan. Bearing in mind that he is the world's no.1 shot-stopper.

Consequently, if I failed to see that he'll leave once the transfer market opens, I'll be a blind man. Everything is pretty clear. All what he is searching for are no longer available in Juventus. Hence, for God's sake, what can enthuse him to remain in Juventus?! On the contrary, he can go to any top European side. A fact that we must digest now before tomorrow.

What makes the whole situation much worse is that any star player we lose we won't easily find a replacement, especially if this star is Buffon. The worst thing, which fears me more than Buffon's departure himself, is that this will probably affect the team's morale and may also affect our summer transfers. If I were a player whom Juve are negotiating and I find that the team's stars are leaving, I'd think hundreds of times before accept to join Juve, even if I was informed about the team's future plan and ambition.

People, things are moving from bad to more worse to the worst. I'm not exploding because only for hearing that Buffon will for sure ditch us, he hinted at it before, but the whole circumstances which the club live aren't that good. Compared to the last damn summer, I see no big difference and I can't sleep, what is more. Another wave of the Calciopoli is appearing on the horizon, new inexperienced management, more than one offer to the coach to leave the club, the fans are boiling,.....I'm speechless now.

didn't seem like :D




No if this is true .... crap :s. i didn't expect this at all

Exactly, he thinks that if he leaves, lots of money will be injected in the club and it will be good to strengthen the team. When he said that the team needs four or five ears to be competitive, he meant that the team needs lots of reinforcement and his transfer can finance this.

He's heading to Milan, I say.
He is just trying to justify his departure to the fans. And even if we suppose that his sale will pump hell of a cash to the club, his maximum transfer fee won't exceed £22m. What this cash has to do with the £50m (The whole budget for the summer is £72m, the transfer budget may be less/more than £50m ) the club put for the transfer market? Taking into account that we still, according to the rumours, aren't linked realistically to a single superstar.


I lost the ability at the end of the post, unfortunately. :D


It's probably either Abbiati or J. Cesar so let's keeo Gigi.
Abbiati or Cesar!!! That's a sad news.

i agree with firoe on this one. i honestly think buffon is staying with juventus. we will just have to wait till the fortnight.

even if he leaves he will remain a juventino and will never fall in the same list as zambrotta, canna, emerson, viera, thurum, and ibrahimovic. he has done a great job and should def be thanked by the management and most importantly the fans.

I know that he isn't forced to sell anything, but he doesn't want to lose Juve fans after ditching the club. Or might be this was what I picked up from his yesterday's announcement. :confused:
Well if he goes to a rival club like Milan or Inter he will definitely lose Juve fans.

Buffon has a strong and great relationship with the fans he cares what the fans think his decision would be based on that. He said he was looking for challange and staying with juve in serie b was just chapter one and theres no greater challange than helping juve return to were the they belong. But if he left which i doubt i wouldnt have anything against him.
