Of course... My point was the at some people on this forum... Jus look at the transfer forum with all the posts saying we will sell 7 average players and buy 8 big names or great talents... or people saying pretty much the whole starting 11 will be replaced ... its frankly laughable and happens every year... even though everyone whose followed juve for more than 5 minutes knows exactly how our transfers work... Its similar to the threads around the january window... everyone knows there will be no changes in jan except total emergencies yet the threads insist we will buy a load of players.
Oh I know, it is quite laughable really. There was such a big talk of a "Rejuvenation" last summer, and we only make a couple changes.
This summer will undoubtedly be the same story because our starting 11 only needs one or two replacements. The defense only needs another right-back or a player who can take control of the right side of defense. The biggest problem is only the midfield in which we need to find a partner for Emerson.
In reality I think Moggi will only sign Robert Kovac on a free, Mozart or Pizarro to strengthen the midfield along with Giannichedda, and possibly Cassano if the rumors hold true. We're only talking about four or five players here. I highly doubt we will get more than five players this summer, if that many.
Trez... Do you really think he will bring big money??
I doubt it... with the ever dropping value of players and the season hes had.. i cant see many people offering alot of money.
Plus who will want him?
The only teams whom he may consider that may be interested are dial and barca...
Both of whom will try and take him cheap after this season and both of them dont have the funds for wild spending anyway.
I cant see us getting anywhere near the money we need to fill in the gaps from trez's sale
I don't know how much Trezeguet would get us. However I do know that when fit Trezeguet is one of the world's top goalscorers, and somebody will probably make a move for him.
Rijkaard is still looking for a target man and will most likely get one in the summer. Iaquinta was rumored however Franky wants a more proven player.
At Dial I have heard Arsene Wenger say himself that he will never play with a true center forward like Trezeguet, so I doubt he would make the move to London.
So yeah it looks like we're short on options here. There was a lot of speculation last year that Trezeguet was leaving, and perhaps it will be the same this summer; rumors with nothing to show for them. But if Moggi does want to sell Trez he will do it this year.
