Gilardino was actually close to joining Juve in 2005, until Luciano Moggi pulled out of the deal late in the day as he was unsure over the quality of the player.
I'm not so sure that that was the real reason , he was great at Parma , i think it was more the money that Parma was asking for him and Moggi did not want to meet their demands ( i think that milan bought him for 25 mil euros or so , maybe even more)
I remembe reading somewhere that Moggi backed down because Gilardino was Milan's priority,and plus our priority at that time was Cassano.Both clubs decided not to mess with each other's trasnfers as mutual respect or something.

its true, we have a certain respect for Milan transfers, we always back of when they need a player badly and they always back off when WE need a player badly..

Thats true we have a healthy rivalry with Milan unlike inter, I think gila will offer us a diffrent style of attack and I think with him and iaquinta as back up for trez and dp we can interchange our forwards as we wish, IMO with gila's addition we would have one of serie A best and most impressive attacks

He is trequartista, like Giovinco, he would be great signing...But i don't know, cos he plays for rivals Toro (the history of them two) it would be difficult purchase...
I disagree.. Buying another starting striker would be a gross misappropriation of resources in terms of both on field and off field areas.. espicially in our situation where we are.. well budgeted
i'm sorry to dissapoint you but we aren't in that position at the moment.. my biggest concern is that the investment gap between us and clubs such as Man U, Barca and to a degree Inter will continue to increase & not decrease

If you were talking something about a competition to get VDV or Diego , i don't care , we can get some Alien as Ranieri requested , but if we could get Gila , that would be a good additional for our club next season , and i do believe Gila is more easier to get because he's considered as a flop on Milan , but he has a great talent so why not ?

Next season, I truly hope so, we will play in CL, we will need more quality players, so that, we can rotate our team in the different competitions! Paolucci could came back

In our circumstances, Gila is a waste of resources but i do agree with you in saying that he could be easier to get and i get the feeling his form from his Parma's days are'nt over and that Juve could be a great enviroment for him to succeed..

Yet , we cant deny , DP and Trez getting Old and will leave us sooner or later , we should get their Replacment ASAP , considering a lot of our "big stars" , rarely could shine in their 1st season after we bought them , for eq : Trez , Nedved , or Kovacevic .

He is ours in half. Not that hard to get the other half back from Udinese if its necessary, because he is still an unaccomplished anonymous young player.
