He is an upgrade to Zebina,make no mistake about that.But for a transfer fee in excess of 8m pounds we can do better.I'm sure we could take both Barzagli and Maicon for that amount.

Portuguese full-back Miguel has announced that Juventus are keen to sign him.
The Benfica stopper, who played an integral part in their march to the Portuguese title under Giovanni Trapattoni, is thought to be seen by the Old Lady as a natural successor to Lilian Thuram.
“I know that Juventus has tried for me,” he stated. "I know that they've had scouts come here to follow me. But, for now, there is nothing concrete. However, I do wish to play in Italy.”
The news will come as a blow to Champions’ League holders Liverpool, who were also keen on the international. Another factor in the Bianconeri’s favour is that, in a curious coincidence, Miguel’s agent is former Juve player Manuel Dimas.

That was Maniche's fantastic deep kick to the corner of the goal against the Netherlands.
Miguel? I follow enough of the Portuguese Superliga during the season, and I think he is a solid player capable of production on both ends of the pitch. If he can culturally fit in the squad, he might be a great acquisition (as I mentioned before, perhaps with Emerson at the back he may fit in better with their shared, albeit different dialect, Portuguese).
But CB? I agree with the question marks, though I wouldn't quite go so far as alarm bells. It would be a position shift for him, and we've seen how that benefitted Thuram this season going in the other direction. Furthermore, Miguel has a good ability to press forward past upfield midfielders, and his passing, crossing, and even shooting capabilities aren't too shabby. They'd be wasted with him at CB.

According to Portuguese newspaper reports, Benfica have refused a 7 million offer by Juventus for the services of Miguel.
The Portuguese champions consider the offer as inadequate and insufficient, and they are therefore expecting a higher bid. Milan are also rumoured to be after the young defender.
