heitinga just came out on the news saying that he didnt like that hes on the bench so much.
I have to say when it comes to his case he didnt convince anyone.Actually he is a disappointment to many ppl.I dont remember which match i saw where he did many unnecessary fouls, and was very sloppy.

i dont know anything about Kompany, but he is very very highly rated

Heitinga is incredibly overrated and would be a major risk. I would much rather move for Parea or Rodriguez of Atletico and Villareal respectively...those two players have talent and are pure stoppers.

Fabios little brother? Is he still at Parma?
He's still at Parma but nowhere near his brother in terms of performance.

Ledley King looked good against Poland last game. This guy is a solid defender and has played well in defensive midfield role a few times.
I think he would be a great buy for us.

Ledley King is a great defender, I´d love him to replace Thuram. I think he will end up in a bigger EPL team though. Andy´s choices are great ones, as far as I know we were already interested in Gonzalo Rodriguez once. We might bid for him next year. Perea is a an awesome defender who can also play in midfield, but he is being chased by Real adn Barça apparently and has said that he would like to stay in Spain.

Ledley King?

I absolutely disagree, and I don't think I need to justify that.
I suspect he'd do the job. He's not the greatest defender ever, but he's quick, powerful and effective. He wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't be worried if he was signed.

    Ledley Kings is from what team in the EPL?

    God, EPL is always on my television but I never watch it. I'd rather stick it out with PPLive.

    I love Kompany, but I'm not sure how he would adapt to the rigid defending of Serie A. This guy likes to dribble sometimes and to go forward, not really appreciated in SerieA for a CB...

    I'd love Barzagli.

    And what about Gladstone?

    Ledley King is another overrated defender and I don't know what everybody sees in him. Every Tottenham match I witness he makes simple mistakes and seems to suffer from lack of concentration. King is a good defender, one of the better of the lot in the EPL, however I would not want him taking a starting role at Juventus.

    I prefer players such as Jorge Andrade, Gonzalo Rodriguez, Perea, and Chivu...they seem like more solid and greater talents to me.

    barzagli would be my first choice.and id hate to bring his name up,but i wouldnt mind mexes either.he is much better than his form with roma suggests,and whats more,he's french.both barzagli and mexes wont be too expensive either.
    barzagli and mexes would be my first two choices

    Ledley king is a class defender and underated imho, considering the quality of the Spurs defence, i think King does well, and is quite accomplished on the ball.

    My personal choice would be Barzagli and/or Rodriguez. Two outstanding yound defenders.

    people are talking about ledley king.but i cant see an english player coming to juventus.he will probably stay at spurs for the rest of his life,or move to some big EPL team.
    To be honest, a player like gerrard plays in a similar way to nedved(all action running shootin etc), could easily fit in......But its temting them away from the EPl that is the task.

    Ledley King? If he is a loyal spurs man, i can see him leaving the country before he signs for one the big three.

    Plus makes for a good makeshift target man.. ;)

    Jol tried it out last season I think.. he made good movements in the 10 minutes he was played in the striker position..
