Oddo in new Juve link
Wednesday 28 April, 2004

Juventus have renewed their interest in the services of Lazio’s international full-back Massimo Oddo.

The 27-year-old has been on Luciano Moggi’s hit list for over a year and a deal could finally be done.

The Azzurri player, who is set to feature at Euro 2004, is tied to the capital club until 2007 but an agreement may be reached.

Juventus are said to be ready to offer £3m plus the services of two of their most promising youngsters.

Both Davide Chiumiento and Raffaele Palladino, who were instrumental in their Viareggio victory, could be sent there on loan.

Oddo’s proposed arrival would increase speculation that Lilian Thuram is on his way out of the club.

The Frenchman has had a nightmare campaign and his future at the Stadio Delle Alpi is in doubt.

However, there is the possibility that Thuram could be switched from a right-back to a central defender.

Juventus have had their problems in the centre of defence after Nicola Legrottaglie’s failure to settle in Turin.

Interessting, i think Juve would need a player like Oddo, he can add some wingplay.

Then Thuram could be a permanent central back and "teach" up any new players like Ferrari or Mexes.

I prefer Trabelsi and Hinkel to Oddo.

 

[delpiero10]

Im sure they are aware of them too, but it depends on who will suit the teams playing style best. And Oddo has already proved his quality on a higher level than Trabelsi and Hinkel. There is a reason for why he is on the NT.

 

[simpson-juvefan]

i don't know him, but we need defenders, but i would more like younger defenders he is also 27 why not buying a great one or promising like mexes or ferrari!

hmm..about Palladino and Chiumento i am not sure..

And there are also reasons as to why Trabelsi is rated as one of the best right backs in the world by most.

 

[Gogeta]

I really don't rate Oddo much

 

[Bjerknes]

Me either. I'd even take Paulo Ferriera over Oddo.

 

[Stu]

Agreed, but as I understand it Ferreira isn't the cheapest of players on the market.

 

[delpiero10]

But what do people have against Oddo, hes is great offensive, a excellent wing player too. I know Trabelsi is good, but he is only a bit younger "edition" of Thuram. Very similiar.

 

[Amr]

Oddo is an excellent player to buy,but as Stuart said,i prefer Trabelsi.

 

[Dan]

oddo is ok, i find him very plain.

 

[Erkka]

I prefer Trabelsi too, we don't have that much money to use anyway...

 

[Bjerknes]

Yeah Trabelsi over Oddo, but Oddo would be a good sub when we need more of an attacking RB.

 

[Mark]

Trabelsi is an attacking RB anyway.

 

[Lawnchair Bes]

oddo wouLd be more LikeLy to come

Yeah, but he's better than Oddo when it comes to defending.

 

[«ƒÕ®zå JüV€»]

it would be amazing to have oddo and tarbelsi on the team but who am i kidding! but if i had to choose id deff pick tarbelsi but at the moment both of them would do good with juve given the situtaion we are in

 

[Bjerknes]

That certainly is true, but it is more likely that Oddo, along with two other good young center backs, will be brought in by Moggi. Hopefully those other two CBs have the letters M, e, x, F, and i in their names!

Not again.....
