strong rumours that he is joining Juventus :shifty:
Yeah he's supposed to be a Juve player by Wednesday I read. It's connected to Milan focusing on Cerci and Atletico moving for Mandzukic.

I'm glad he's coming here. It's not like I got my hopes up before so now there's no disappointment :p I like the kid I think he'll be good here.

In that video Iturbe looks good, but I can't help but think he looks like a Krasic with more dribbling technique. How many times did Milos run and run only to miss the chance he created for himself? On the plus side though it looks like Iturbe likes an assist as much as a goal. Team work :tup:

And agree about Luca Toni :heart:
Krasic? Really?

Perhaps if Krasic could actually shoot, could actually pass and could really do anything other than run in a straight line and occasionally get lucky with a cross or a weak shot.

This kid is twice the dribbler. He has twice the shot from distance. He's got excellent free kick technique for a 21 yr old. His passing is superb. His finishing could be worked on, but he still scored 8 goals last season as a 20 yr old. And his decision making could be improved at times, but it is still 10x better than the brainlessness that Krasic was the personification of.

Mandorlini also said Iturbe is the biggest talent he has ever coached and that Conte will have fun with him.

That doesnt say much though, dude has only coached small clubs (and players) mainly in Serie B (or Romania), and generally failed with them until Verona.

But yeah me thinks Iturbe is very much a Conte type of player too.

Mandorlini: Iturbe a Formula 1 car

Verona Coach Andrea Mandorlini has eulogised Juan Manuel Iturbe, comparing the prospective Juventus signing to a Formula 1 car.
The 21-year-old is increasingly speculated as set to sign off on a transfer from the Gialloblu to the Bianconeri this week.
Whilst it means he won’t be able to work with him for next year, his current Coach has backed Iturbe to more than make the grade in Turin.
“Is he the strongest I have coached? Yes, for pure technique and also for his physical capacity,” Mandorlini has told Tuttosport today.
“Perhaps it is not easy to notice, if you do not work with him every day, but Iturbe is a Formula 1 car.
“He does not let up, he recovers quickly from physical exertion, he can shoot and has endurance. He can control the ball, but he is also a supreme athlete.
“Certainly he can get to the level of the greatest - he has everything he needs to grow again and to become one of the top five or six players out there.
“Iturbe is ready to export elsewhere what he has been seen in Verona.”
The suggestion is that Iturbe’s signing opens the door to Antonio Conte changing Juventus’ formation to a 4-3-3.
“I believe he is ideal for a trident attach, whilst he would have no issue moving in tandem with another player.
“He would of course have to make some changes to his movement, but he has the insight and intelligence to make the right decisions.
“Would he work well with Carlos Tevez or be mismatched? I do not know, in the sense that it is for Antonio Conte to address that issue, rather than myself.
“If I have to give an opinion as an outside observer, I would not see them as at all bad together.
“But…how about an attack with the two South Americans and Fernando Llorente too. That would be a trident to fear…”

Ferrari should sign him instead of Raikkonen then
