do we even need him?

our CMF is pretty complete as it is right now.

He's not just a CMF. He's fairly versatile, which may come in handy while prodding along through the usually injury-stricken months of January and February.

If Sissoko leave, Marchisio can move back to the CM spot and we can rotate, 3 players for 2 spots.
Then we can either get a true winger for the left wing or use Lanzafame or Martinez more often and spend the money from Sissoko on a striker or a defender.

I liked Martinez when he was nearing full fitness, especially against meelan

How did Rakitic play?

 

[Gian]

Interviewed by the British site sport.co.uk, Max Urscheler, agent of the Croatian midfielder Ivan Rakitic (22), as evidenced by TuttoJuve.com, said: "Wait until Christmas deals are completed, and short, in Then we will decide, in early January, tell us the outcome of our decision. "Among the many spectators in Europe is a clear advantage when Juventus, with Fiorentina, Lazio and Palermo in the wake, at around € 7 million and a half of the likely cost of the operation.

thats an okay price..and it wudnt be an "important investment"

 

[the jesus]

That's most definitely not an ok price.

Who in their right mind would pay €7M for a player you can get for free 5 months later.

Half the price seems more realistic.

Rakitić plays best as a central midfielder and he is a great player who would give Juve another dimension but in that case somebody needs to leave (Momo?). Don't forget that he is still a very young player and perhaps better and cheeper buy(7,000,000) for the future than Aquilani (16,000,000).

 

[mukumsplau]

obviously theyll wan to cash in on him....unrealistic to look for freebies all the time...a football club is a business..remember that

I'm with what Alen said earlier in this thread. If the management think we need him I'd rather have him in January than in July.

I think Rakitic, can play anywhere on the midfield and i guess he should be coming as an upgrade for Lanza. Momo's replacement should be a hard tackling midfielder and not Rakitic.

They should have thought of that last summer and sold him then, if they wanted to cash in on the player. They either took a chance or couldn't sell the player.

Juve can start talks with the players agent in january, and make a deal then and there to take the player for free in the summer. And Schalke can't do jack shit about it.

 

[Gian]

For free or 5M he would be nice, if Momo's leaving. If he's not leaving, we better spend it on a fullback or a striker.

No matter how you put it, Rakitic needs to accept a bench role. Is he willing to accept that? He's starting at Schalke now.

Don't even say Rakitic is of Aquilani caliber.

If we get rid of Sissoko, we need a DM not a CM. We don't need this guy, unless he can play as a DM or he has some extraordinary LW talents that no one knows about.

 

[Nicholas]

Congracts on the 1K Joe.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Cheers Joe, keep it up.

We don't need DM. That's why we are selling Momo. We need CM who can substitute Aquilani.
