Juve offeres him a contract for another year:
http://www.lastampa.it/sport/cmsSezioni/quijuve/200802articoli/13274girata.asp

I think we need him for one more year. we have to find a replacement. I hope that he stays at the club after he retires.
We may need him but he cannot perform the way we need him to. I don't think its wise to offer him anything at this point in the season.

It also drives away potential signings in the offseason because players know that they will have to compete with a legend for a starting role.


this is good i could see him have one last stab at the CL
Ideally it would be nice for him to have one more chance but we cannot risk another year of failure in serie A next year. We need to gear up and get back to our old ways.


The CL is great and all but I think if he does stay next year then our team needs to focus on getting that 3rd star back on our shirt. Redemption is the first step to excellence and knowing neddo, he would want to show the world that we took back the scudetto that was taken from us without any b.s. surrounding it.

FC Tokyo will speak with Juventus officials and is likely to table a bid in July worth around $10 million. The FC Tokyo board reportedly approved the required finances to be made available to secure Nedved’s signature.

"It all depends how things develop from now," FC Tokyo chairman Yutaka Murabayashi was quoted as saying.

"But we will do everything we can (to sign Nedved)."

Nedved, 35, earned 91 caps for his country before retiring from international duty after the 2006 World Cup. He was named European player of the year in 2003.

If Nedved heads to the Japanese capital, he would be the latest in a long line of high-profile imports to play in the J-League.

In the past Brazilian stars Zico and Dunga, Gary Lineker of England and Bulgaria’s Hristo Stoichkov all played in Japan towards the end of their careers.

Tokyo are still waiting for their first J-League title.

FC Tokyo say Nedved bid 'an option'


TOKYO, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Japanese club FC Tokyo have not ruled out an audacious move for former European Footballer of the Year Pavel Nedved of the Czech Republic.

"It's not out of the question," FC Tokyo official Fumitoshi Wakabayashi told Reuters on Friday. "The club is always trying to improve and (Nedved) could be one option." The J-League club are lining up an offer for the Juventus midfielder in July in a deal worth around $10 million, Japan's Nikkan Sports daily reported.

"There is nothing concrete to say at this stage," Wakabayashi said. "But in truth I can't say if there's been contact made and at what level."

The 35-year-old Nedved won 91 caps for his country before retiring from international duty shortly after the 2006 World Cup. He was voted European player of the year in 2003.

"It all depends how things develop from now," FC Tokyo chairman Yutaka Murabayashi was quoted as saying. "But we will do everything we can (to sign Nedved)."

The Nikkan Sports said there had already been contact between the Japanese club and Nedved's agent.

Should he make the move, Nedved would follow a number of big-name players to join J-league clubs in the twilight of their careers, including former England striker Gary Lineker, Bulgaria's Hristo Stoichkov and Brazil great Zico.

FC Tokyo joined Japan's professional J-League in 1999 but have never challenged for the first division title, fourth place in 2003 their best finish to date. They were 12th in 2007.

He was off in the first half, I wanted Palladino to play instead of him because he did well with Italy on the left. Then the assist made me eat my words.
