Real Madrid bid 70 mil Euro for Zlatan (26 Viewers)

So what, is Del Piero the standard for all football decisions we make? It's just stupid to sell a young player who has loads of potential and could quite possibly become the best forward in the world over the next few years. Why would we take a chance buying some other prodigy when we have one at the club right now? Sure, Gilardino is a great young player but his talent is fairly limited when compaired with Zlatan. The latter is the sort of player you can build a team around, and selling your greatest asset at such a young age is simply imbecilic. Moggi is smarter than that (I hope).
Phased out by team tactics? Are you serious?

Right, Ronaldinho for 70 mil euro. I hope you are joking.
That wont even pay for the minimum transfer clause in his contract, and even if it did Barca will never let go of dinho. Maybe when he is 29-30 years old.
I say keep Ibrahimovic, sell Trezeguet( deserves all respect but i think its time for him to leave) and invest in young midfielding talents.
Make your pick theres allot of em. Personally i would love to see Arjen Robben come to Juve but i doubt Chelsea will let him go cheap.

wait wait is his last name Ibrahimovic or Abramovic
Anyhoo the equation of potential does not cut it in my opinion, as juve demonstrated that it takes a team to win trophies and not names on paper.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic's agent claims Real Madrid had a bid for the Swedish star rejected last week.
Juve paid Ajax just over £10 million for Ibrahimovic last summer and he has performed reasonably well - bagging 16 goals in Serie A and helping them to the league title.
Some in Italy suggested more could have been expected of Ibrahimovic and many would not have been expecting a bid from Real and certainly not one at the estimated €70 million it is claimed the Spaniards offered last week.
"It is certain that Real Madrid have spoken with me and they are interested in him," Mino Raiola told the Goteborgs-Posten
"Juventus does not want to sell Zlatan. He is the future of the club. The Scudetto this season is just the start of a new era with Zlatan as the dominating player.
"Zlatan was happy and cheered over the title, this was a dream coming true already the first year.
"Zlatan has a contract and he respects that, but we will have to see what happens in the future."
The bid from Real has come out of the blue, as they already have a deal for Brazilian Robinho in place - although with Michael Owen's future continually in question there could yet be room for another striker.
However, the chances of Juve letting Ibrahimovic leave are limited as David Trezeguet looks set to leave Turin this summer and this was highlighted by the Old Lady's reported rebuttal of Real's huge offer.

I know what you're saying, Andy, but I can think of 70 million reasons why we should sell Zlatan at that price.
Look, we all laughed our asses off when ManU shelled out some 55 million Euros for Wayne Rooney over last summer. How can we not think of taking advantage of Real Madrid's economic stupidity in this case?

Because he could be that one player we need to take us from being only a Scudetto winning club to a Champions League winner. Sure, the team element is crucial to success, especially for Juventus who lack a very talented squad like Milan. However if want to make that jump into European success we need great players who can show up for the big matches and change the face of the game with just one touch. Games are controlled by team consistency, however games are won by individual brilliance. And in a team like Juventus who are solid at the back but sometimes inept going forward, we need a player like Zlatan who can take on defenders and create goals all by himself. In the coming years not many are going to surpass Zlatan in this respect. But my overall point is if we continue to sell our best players, we will continue to be mediocre in Europe.
