Serie A concern for Buffon

Gigi Buffon has fuelled doubts about his Juventus future after insisting that being uncompetitive in Serie A will be worse than Serie B football.

The goalkeeper opted to remain with the giants after demotion last summer, but he has hinted that he may be on the move at the end of this campaign.

“The worst moments have yet to come now that we won’t be as competitive as the best sides in the top flight,” Buffon told a TV show on La7.

“We had a clear objective in Serie B and that was to achieve promotion as soon as possible,” added the World Cup winner, whose side needs just three points in four matches to go up.

“In Serie A, however, everything will be harder. It would be terrible for us to be unable to compete with Inter, Milan, Roma and Lazio.”

Buffon’s comments will be viewed by many as a clear signal to the club that they need to spend big in the summer, especially after he took a little swipe at officials for their actions last summer.

“I understand that some players had to go, especially the older ones, but letting Adrian Mutu and Gianluca Zambrotta leave was a big mistake,” he announced.

“They could have been very useful now for our return to Serie A.”

Meanwhile, some reports are claiming that Buffon and his girlfriend Alena Seredova are buying a villa on Lake Como which may suggest he is about to join one of the Milan clubs.

Buffon should shut his trap and concentrate on goalkeeping. He had similar talk before the world cup; italy were to weak to win the WC, as their midfielders weren't good enough .

yeah, letting Mutu go was a mistake, but changing him with bojinov was even a much bigger mistake

DA

 

[DelpieroForLife]

I fully agree with what Buffon said.

 

[Maresca]

I hate this period.. juve is every day linked to a new crap player..

I really hope that the managment sort out this story and that they have clear objectives. But to work succesfully they have to:
- Confirm the coach
- The players that we need should be selected together with the confirmed coach.
- The objective should be presented to the "big players" like gigi, camo etc. to show them the plans for the future.. and hopefully convince them to stay

 

[tonykart]

Doesn't sound like Buffon is staying. That will be awful if he leaves. What a horrible situation.

 

[tassard]

I know that Buffon is likely to leave but I have not realized that 100%

Me too.

I'm not predicting him to do. Simply, because the season has coming to an end. Also, what he is saying these days has a meaning. Either, he's warning the club that he'll leave and they should look for a replacement soon, or he wants the management to reveal their plan for the summer plus urging them to do.

If you ask me, I'll go with the first option; the man is leaving.

 

[DelpieroForLife]

Me too.

And thats why his transfer would hurts me more now, it could have been much easier to eat it if he did left last summer.

Curi are u a member at j1897?

Tesoro yes i'm. why ? are you also following the thread of calciomercato ?

Somer rumours about 30 Mil in cash and Gila for Buffon...

 

[Marc]

Gilardino......

 

[tonykart]

If Buffon leaves we are in serious trouble.

 

[Lion]

Not if we get +40 million on him aren't. I'd sell Gigi for that amount and fix the areas of the team that need fixing.

 

[tassard]

Kaka for Buffon or straight 45 M....

 

[Oggy]

Don't misunderstand me but f*ck him !!! I really appreciate him for what he did for us, but I'm also sick of his comments, he is playing with emotions of million Juventini's. C'mon say it already are you leaving or staying, don't f*ck with us anymore.

And another thing, I know it will be a great loss to lose him but there is a lot of GK's maybe they aren't good as him but I'm still confidant they can do the solid job.

 

[Lion]

Or give us one of:

Gattuso
Nesta

+ 30 million and they have a deal.
