Buffon: Juve needed me
Wednesday 7 March, 2007

Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has confirmed staying in Serie B was a spontaneous decision. “I knew they needed me here.”

The Bianconero was one of the few players who committed to the club despite the demotion and has reiterated that he had no regrets.

“Remaining here was a spontaneous decision, no one asked me to stay but I did so. I understood that the club needed me in such a difficult moment,” said Buffon on Wednesday speaking to a group of students at the Turin University.

“I lent a helping hand to people who always loved me, although it is logical that my ambition was not to play in Serie B.”

The former Parma man has been linked with a summer move to Milan or Inter, but insists that nothing has been decided yet.

“I don’t know what will happen, but I would like to stay here. I have an excellent relationship with the club and we are currently discussing what the future options are.”

The world champion then commented on Juve’s performances in the championship, stating that he hopes there will not be any drops in the team’s concentration.

“This is certainly a positive moment for us, we hope we can continue like this and win the Serie B title. We have a fairly good lead over the third-placed club, but we mustn’t rest on our laurels.

“I am sure we can do even better in the next matches, taking advantage of the fixture list.”

Buffon was also questioned about the recent violence problems, which he believes are not only related to sport.

“This issue doesn’t only affect the world of football, but it depends on the way society is educated nowadays.

“In any case, I don’t think it’s fair to talk about violence inside stadiums because of 50 hotheads who represent only a very small part of the Italian supporters,” concluded Buffon.

Hope he does stay.

The Bianconeri's goalkeeper confirmed that he has no problems in remaining in Turin next season despite many transfer rumours linking away from the Old Lady.

If Buffon wants to leave, Juventus would probably get a decent replacement
Maybe Casillas - Buffon swap(+10-15m euro going juve's way)

that's only if he does wanna leave

u wana send buffon to R.Madrid?!!!
didnt u see what happened to Canna, emo n capello?!!!

 

[tonykart]

There is no viable replacement for Buffon. He is one of a kind and, without a doubt, the most important player to Juventus. I pray that he stays.

if he wants to leave, that's the best option available(if juve are looking for a great replacement/cash)

Maybe Diarra+Casillas for Buffon?

 

[Bisco]

naaaaaah i have to disagree there nabil, i dont think buffon is replaceable, although i admire cassillas's ability but he is not buffon class!!!

 

[Jem83]

Casillas, pffffffft

Gigi :toast:

 

[Ahmedios]

I think that Nabil was just talking about bargain, not hinting at Buffon himself whether he is great or not, as the answer for that question is pretty clear.

Certainly, Buffon is one of the best goalkeepers ever. And for him to stay with us in Serie B depending on his own decision, that made him a Bianconeri legend even if he decides to leave Delle Alpi in the summer.

I wouldn't swap Buffon for 3/4 of Madrids squad. The guy is simply irreplacable. See how Parma have struggled since he left there? I know they've had their problems financially too, but taking the WORLDS GREATEST EVER KEEPER from your starting XI will make any team struggle. The security of having Gigi behind our defence is immeasurable. I think we might have bought Boumsong just to keep Buffon busy in Serie B

Seriously though, no keeper in the world could take his place, he is that important. A key figure in our meteoric rise up the Serie B table, & undoubtably a huge plus for any player we hope to sign for next year. Keeping him is vital, not only does it make us stronger, it signals our intent to be a major force in A once again.

Buffon is without a doubt the best keeper in the world. I was just looking to the future if Buffon does in fact decide to leave.

Parma didn´t struggle because Buffon left, there were much bigger reasons than Buffon´s departure.

i don't like Buffon, Trez always told the public what they want from the club,and they forgot what Juvetus had given to them, it seems that they are trying to affect the club's works, i think they should keep silence, if they wanna to stay, ok, just tell the club, or if they want to exit, also tell the club. I just don't like them speak too much about if they would stay , how juve can convince them to stay. It's enough, they are only players of the club, and they should respect the club~

 

[chester]

i don't like Buffon

After all the guy done for us?
Who says all these newspaper rumours are true, who says he really said all that stuff?

First you mention Buffon, then you start talking about Trez umpkin: I hope you get better.
