And what an impressive list of trophies Arsenal has. Please! If you wanted to make a point, you should have gone with Manchester United or Real Madrid. Arsenal is a minor league outfit on the world stage, at present, but they are growing.
During Euro 2000, all the French team players were in high demand and the coach bars all transfer talk until competition is over - EXCEPT Moggi is the only one allowed to make contact, as arrangements are made for Moggi to sign Trezeguet. Why was an exception made for only Moggi? Because he has clout.
Davids? He was unhappy and wanted to move. He cannot be forced to stay with Juve. Di Vaio? At the time it was hailed as a brilliant move. Brighi? How on earth did Moggi screw up Brighi?????????????? Parma was desperate for him, Moggi refused to sell, but agreed a two-year loan. After one year Parma culdn't wait to get rid of him and loaned him Brescia. You blame Moggi?
How many hundreds of clubs play in Europe?
How many have won as many major trophies in the last 10 years as Juventus?
None.
Moggi's results speak volumes.
What on earth are you talking about? What exactly have we won in Europe compared to all the times we have been favoured by referees to win the scudetto?
Arsenal are not eligible to play in SerieA if thats what you are bleating about as they have won the double twice, won the fa cup 3 times , i think, are on course for a famous and historic treble and where are we, seemingly out of the scudetto race, out of Europe by the second round after telling everyone this is the trophy we wanted to win, and only have the rather worthless coppa italia to go for
Wanna talk about deals then talk about buying Anelka for 500,000 and selling him 2 years on for 22m or buying overmars for 7m and selling him for 25m
Buffon costs more than the entire Arsenal backline and some of their midfiled put together
Pires, Henry Vieiria and Ljunberg cost less than Nedved
You talk about Trez, we paid 17m for him while we sold Henry for about 9m, now had the better deal?
How on earth did Moggi as the "great transfer guru" allow Davids to come to a position where he could go for free
With all the so called great deals you keep bleating about, when was the last time our football has been coherent?
Is it so difficult to look for a player who can control the tempo of a game or players than can actually pass the ball
The problem with Juve fans well the ones who come on here is you go way over the top in your praises, Zambrotta had played left full back for 3 secs and already he was hailed the best in the world
Maresca is on the field for 2 minutes, already Italy ought to build their team around his dubious talents
It is not Moggi that has the clout it is Juve the club that has the clout to buy good players , its just Moggi who always seems to spot the duds and claim they are good thru propaganda
Occasionally he picks a winner but not too often, but as for picking good officials to referee our matches in Italy then he is a master
