In fact, I've expressed my viewpoint regarding Gilberto;s joining us earlier on that thread, he is a well experienced ball winner plus a midfield leader. Besides, the presence of Zanetti, Paro, Marchisio and hopefully Nocerino, I suggest negotiating an attacking midfielder and a winger; Rosina and Ribery respectively would be perfect.
Arsenal vice-captain Gilberto has revealed his admiration for Juventus, but admits any decision over his future will be entirely in the hands of his current club.
Gilberto hails "great" Juve
The Brazilian midfielder has been linked with a possible move to Turin as the fallen giants look to strengthen their squad if they secure promotion this season.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger only recently denied speculation that Gilberto could be sold at the end of the season.
"Juventus are a great club that want to return to winning ways," Gilberto told Corriere dello Sport.
"Furthermore, it is Emerson's former club and there are many Brazilians starring in the Italian championship.
"I have a contract until 2009, and Arsenal will decide [what happens]."
Gilberto could choose to invoke a Fifa regulation that could see him leave for as little as £1.7million, but the player's agent played down such talk.
"He likes it at Arsenal and there is a contract in place for another two years," said Paulo Villana.
"This is the current situation, but as you know anything can change in life and football is part of life."

Didier Deschamps has targeted him as a central part of his rebuilding plans.
Even though Gilberto has now turned 30, it remains to be seen whether Wenger would be prepared to lose another key midfielder to Juve after selling former captain Patrick Vieira to the Italian giants in the summer of 2005.

although zanetti is the only proven DM we have for Serie A, but imo we owe paro a chance for to prove himself in Serie A.
Marchisio can wait, but paro is already 24 and he did very well this season.So i think he will get his chance next season and if we bring Mavuba then there goes his chance along with Nocerino's imo(thats if he was bought)
