juventus want to bring mohamadou diarra (11 Viewers)

Yes of course. But that doesn't change the fact that we have more urgent needs in other departments, it makes no sense to spend our summer budget just to give Emerson and Vieira a little competition for their spots in the team when we have players who need replacing.

Its all about prioritizing since we're not exactly going to start splashing cash on any and every player who could be of some use to us.

But when has moggi ever bought players for the positions that we really need. I mean, we've been talking about the need for fullbacks for two years, and we've gotten Zebina and Chielini. I doubt the money is really going to be put where it's needed...

How does Diarra looks with Black and White?
This photo is from the period that he played in O.F.I. FC (team of my island Crete) and he was 16 years old at that time.
I think that he is very good player for Juve and Know that in a big percentage, thanks to him Lyon has a good performance in CL this year.

Juve prepare Diarra raid

Juventus are hot on the heels of Lyon’s French midfield enforcer Mahamadou Diarra, according to reports in Italy.

The 24-year-old has been an integral part of the French side’s domination of domestic football, helping guide the champions to four of their five recent titles.

He’s also orchestrated their rise to prominence on the European scene, where they reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season.

His tough tackling and energetic displays have earned the man known in his homeland as Djila numerous admirers, including Milan, as well as Premiership clubs Arsenal and Manchester United.

However, it now appears that Juve would like to lure the fleet-footed Mali international to the peninsula.

Diarra is seen as ideal cover for Emerson and Patrick Vieira in a position where Giuliano Giannichedda has failed to make an impact.

The rising star of French football will not come cheap, however, as he is contracted to Lyon until 2009 and would command a transfer fee of somewhere in the region of £10m.

Juventus are likely to face stiff competition for the combative central midfielder from Milan, who are said to be planning a double swoop that includes the French outfit’s Brazilian defender Cris.

The stupid heads of Milan say that they want him too.
