Pavel Nedved (22 Viewers)

Pavel Nedved has said he’ll make his announcement next week and it’s reported the Juventus hero will hang up his boots.

“If there is no meeting with Juve, then Pavel will certainly retire,” revealed agent Mino Raiola in a warning to the club.

“He is capable of just about anything, but I will do everything I can to encourage him to keep playing.”

The midfielder had already considered retirement last summer after the 2006 World Cup, but opted to stay on to help Juve return to the top flight after their demotion in the Calciopoli scandal.

Now that promotion has been achieved and many new names are being signed for the club – including latest arrivals Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron – Nedved could opt to call it a day.

A meeting has been set up with the Bianconeri directors for next week, but issues over the length of his contract and promises of a future job as a director for the club may provide stumbling blocks.

Today’s newspapers in Italy report that Juventus are preparing for a 2007-08 without Nedved by seeking out Hamburg midfield dynamo Rafael Van der Vaart.

The Czech international and 2003 European Player of the Year has confirmed he will make a decision before June 30.

Nedved turns 35 in August and has been at Juventus since 2001, having previously played for Lazio, Sparta Prague and Dukla Prague.

and some here wonder why I think this management team is a bunch of idiots...

Neddy, IMO, is almost as much of a symbol for Juventus as DP

he has a few years left in the tank (even as a sub), and the only player out there that I think can play his position the way he does is Sneijder from Ajax

we will need 2 players to replace Nedved...I would suggest VDV/Diego + Quaresma

i would love those playrs even if neddy decided to carry on.

TBH I don't think the management can do much about it. Nedved has been thinking of retiring for a full two years now.

Sneijder is not even half the player Nedved is, Vin. Believe me, I see the guy play a lot and he's become a better player the last year, but my oh my, he'd be a mistake.

if you think he will PERFORM like Ned has done for the past 5 years...that is not only impossible but very unfair on Sneijder...i always thought of him as a CMF...but there is no doubt that he is a class act and Juve should try to get him

[Jem83]

i really hope pavel stays but if he doesnt good bye to a true bianconero legend. our golden haired wonder bay of the midfield

I have to agree with that viewpoint. The management has nothing to do with Nedved's decision, it is up to him.

I'm sure Neddy will play one more season

I hope so, mate.

 

[Espectro]

How classic, media comes saying crap about our management and suddenly is Holly Word for some of you...

Why dont we wait for next week and see what happends before starting to judge our management in this matter

 

[Attilio the Hun]

Just hope he stays. Can't believe people are discussing replacements on his thread. He deserves to taste the fruit of his labours in Serie B and if he can cut it in that more physical league surely he can play again at the highest level for one more year at least. If it's a question of contract Juve should give him one year with an option for a second and a future role at the club as soon as he does hang up his boots.

just one more season.

 

[Maher]

i hope he plays one more season

 

[Durden]

Please Neddy.. 2 more seasons.. Then you'll also get your CL trophy..

 

[zizoufan]

I'm out of words to describe this man. If he decide to continue his adventure with juventus then he'll be a true juventus legend. Yet, he is already.

I cant see him going for 2 seasons, though I'd love to see him playing in CL for one more time
