why would he do tht?if he did it now it would make sense but once we r back in A?not sure tht is possible
He actually stayed because he wanted a new challenge, so once we're back in A the challenge would have been achieved.

I always say this: Juve is the best team for goalkeepers, cause we always (pretty much) have a solid defence, and Juve fans actually cheer for keepers unlike other team's.

Have u guys ever met a Casillas fan? Anyone? or let's say a Dida or Cech fan?

nop.

PS Bayern Munich is also a great club to be a goalie of.

All the Madrid players should chip in to get Casillas a raise. He's been bailing them out on a regular basis so far this season. :D

to be fair Petr Cech is also a fantastic goalkeeper...think back to the match vs. ghana in the WC....he was sensational...without him they would have lost 6-0 lol

Buffon Exclusive Interview By Eurosport
Wednesday, Oct 4, 2006


In an exclusive interview, Eurosport finds out just what convinced Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon to stay at Juventus, and how he is adapting to life in Serie B.

Asked for the reasons why he chose to remain with the club after they were demoted a division because of the match-fixing scandal that rocked Italian football in the summer, Buffon revealed that he just couldn't bear to leave.

"It was my way of reacting to a special situation," he said. "If I had gone, it would have hurt me, so I stayed.

"[I also wanted] to try something new."

Buffon, who was voted best goalkeeper in winning the World Cup with Italy in the summer, spoke of his experiences in Serie B so far.

"It is not degrading for me. I just enjoy playing, never mind whether it's in Serie B or Serie A. The platform has changed, but the ball is the same [and] you play against 11 men. Therefore the changes for me are small."

The keeper insisted that the pressure of playing at that level is comparable to not only the top division, but to the biggest stage of them all.

"I feel more pressure," he told us. "I was more nervous against Rimini than in the [World Cup final] match against France. That shows just how much I understand football."

Juve began the season with a 17 point deficit on the other teams in the division - with the exception of Arezzo, who were given a nine-point disadvantage for their minor role in the underhand dealings - but have already climbed off the foot of the table and onto -4 points, only 13 behind the promotion places.

The man nicknamed 'Gigi' in Italy is confident that they can overhaul the gap and give top flight football back to Juve supporters next season.

"Next year we will play in Serie A. I hope that we will get into Serie A and we can celebrate my fifth championship with Juventus," he said. "For me [winning Serie B] would be like winning the [Serie A] championship."

He will definitely stay with us until the end of season, and after that I am not so sure.

Milan will probably end contract with Dida.

' As for Dida's contract which ends in June: 'As I have said, the club are ready to extend if Dida wants to, otherwise on June 30, 2007 we'll find another goalkeeper. I don't know if Dida will renew his contract but in twenty years at Milan I have learnt that everyone is important but only one indispensable: our president Silvio Berlusconi. It will be Milan and him that continues to win.'

And they might just sell Dida or Abbiati to us in a compensation.

Il Milan su Buffon, vertice con la Juve (Gazzetta dello Sport)

Cobolli Gigli fa visita a Galliani ma l'Inter offre già 30 milioni.

Gianni Cobolli Gigli è arrivato nella sede del Milan di buon'ora. Ed è andato dritto verso la stanza di Adriano Galliani. Una visita-lampo, mezz'ora in tutto tra le 9 e le 9.30, ma sufficiente per mettere sul tavolo una serie di argomenti d'importanza assoluta. La cordiale chiacchierata è servita ad avviare un dialogo proficuo tra due club uniti da evidenti affinità elettive. Ma il temporale-Abbiati quest'estate aveva raffreddato non poco i rapporti ed anche in Lega la freddezza era parsa chiara. Saltati gli affari estivi per Zambrotta e Buffon, il club rossonero è tornato alla carica per il portiere della nazionale. Una mossa cauta quella di Adriano Galliani, consapevole dell'offensiva lanciata dai cugini nerazzurri per il numero uno bianconero.

I bene informati assicurano che gli uomini di Moratti abbiano già dato la disponibilità a versare nelle casse bianconere ben 30 milioni di euro e al giocatore un ingaggio da sei milioni di euro. Cifre che, se confermate al momento opportuno, metterebbero l'Inter in una posizione di privilegio assoluto. Magari già in funzione dell'ormai prossimo mercato di gennaio. Ma è altrettanto chiaro che la Juve sinora non ha dato segni di cedimento. In corso Galileo Ferraris si stanno già preparando a pianificare la campagna di rafforzamento in vista del ritorno in serie A e Buffon viene considerato un punto fermo di questo progetto. Un'offerta da trenta milioni, però, porrebbe non pochi problemi di coscienza. E il Milan non appare intenzionato a dar vita ad una pericolosa asta. Ma ieri Galliani ha annusato l'aria e potrà regolarsi di conseguenza.


Milan is so persistant on taking away Buffon from us, I hope they crash and burn!

Gigi, dont listen to Galliani and Berlusconi.

Stay at least till the end of season!

In attesa di segnali da Dida, il Milan blocca Amelia e riprova l'assalto a Buffon. Galliani ha incontrato Cobolli Gigli, ma in agguato c'è sempre l'Inter.

Su Dida Galliani non ha cambiato linea. Se il portiere vuole firmare benissimo, altrimenti il Milan cercherà un'alternativa senza sacrificare più di tanto sull'altare della trattativa; una sorta di segnale al portiere brasiliano che, secondo alcuni, starebbe temporeggiando per avere le migliori condizioni possibili in sede di rinnovo. "In vent'anni di Milan - ha detto Galliani - ho capito che tutti sono importanti ma una sola persona è indispensabile, il presidente Berlusconi".

Ecco perchè via Turati, se da un lato prova a convincere Dida a prolungare il contratto in scadenza il prossimo giugno, dall'altra si cautela. Intanto ha "bloccato" il portiere del Livorno Marco Amelia, che con la prospettiva Milan all'orizzonte ha a sua volta bloccato le trattative per il rinnovo con gli amaranto. Poi è tornato alla carica con la Juve per Gigi Buffon.

In realtà l'incontro di mercoledì fra Galliani e Cobolli Gigli (poco più di un'ora nella sede rossonera di via Turati) è servito per riallacciare i rapporti fra due delle società più importanti nel panorama italiano sul piano delle sinergie commerciali. Rapporti guastati da Calciopoli e dalle conseguenti scelte di mercato (la Juve ha negato a Zambrotta il Milan, il Milan ha dirottato Abbiati al Torino) e che i due plenipotenziari hanno voluto rivitalizzare.

Ma sul tavolo, inevitabilmente, è finita anche la questione Buffon, su cui i rossoneri tengono desta l'attenzione. In pole position per il portiere resta l'Inter, che secondo indiscrezioni offrirebbe 30 milioni per il cartellino e 6 a stagione d'ingaggio. La Juve non sembra intenzionata a cedere, il portiere rappresenta uno dei capisaldi per la squadra che nei progetti di Corso Galileo Ferraris tornerà a disputare il campionato di serie A l'anno prossimo, ma è prevedibile che a liste aperte, magari già a gennaio, l'assalto alla diligenza riprenderà.

E a quel punto, se Dida non avrà rinnovato e Amelia non sarà riuscito a svincolarsi dal Livorno, Galliani dovrà per forza di cose aprire un'asta con l'Inter. Sempre che la Juve ceda.
