btw, who want's to meet a Zlatan-Ronaldo combo in the next CL?
that's does not make any sense !

we did eliminate the dream team as they like to call (Real) twice in 2 years with their combos not combo only.

so what can zlatan do if infront juve if he moved?

its not about combo. its about how can this player be conformable with the team and i guess the best example Owen !

Why would we take a chance buying some other prodigy when we have one at the club right now?
Thank you, Andy - for basically summing up this whole situation.
Zlatan must stay, not only for the benefit of watching him realise his potential in Bianconero..but also for the fact that I'd hate his guts if he played for anyone else. He's that kind of hate/love player. I'm currently in the love bracket.

Yeah, exactly. I know a lot of people do not like Zlatan for one reason or another, however you must admit he is one of the most talented young players on the planet. I don't think too many here would have been saying yes to his sale if Del Piero was in the same position. Just think about it people.

Zambrotta is less expendable than Zlatan if you ask me. As much as i love Ibra, ive got to say, it'll be foolish not to consider our options if 70 million is indeed, the price on the table.

I disagree, 70million is too low for Zlatan (considering his potentials), Madrid/Chelsea are willing to pay 100million euros for Adriano and currently Zlatan plays more consistantly and once his finishing improves he will definately be better than Adriano.

And going back to how Juve does Business, they sell players like Zidane for alot of money, but they sell him while he is at his peak and probably about to go past it, so they make the most out of him. Emerson in this case sounds like that type of situation, but Zlatan does not, he has not reached his peak so he will not fall under the same category as Zidane.

I think its clear that we will build the team around Zlatan, and currently, eventhough I love Zambo, in terms of replacement and value, I think Zlatan is less expendable coz we could have Chiellini.

I really dont think our team needs an overhaul, in fact we just need to buy a quality creative midfielder and we're set for next season.

One of the reasons I don't want us to sell him is because it is about time someone stood up to Real Madrid - they think they can buy whoever they want just because they are who they are.

They have the arrogance to assume that every player wants to play for them, and Perez usually names the players he is after in the press - he is so sure he will get them. Can you imagine Moggi doing that?

Madrid just see who is playing great at he moment and then tries to buy him, it's almost like assembling a fantasy football team.

That's the one thing about Juve's transfer policy that has worried me over the years. Juve is prepared to sell it's best players - something that Barca, Real, Milan, even Inter, don't do. So when Milan signs Kaka at age 22, you know he will want to stay there for life, so even if Madrid come calling, his loyalty to Milan will mean he isn't interested. He seemed to instantly come out and say he wants to end his career at Milan, players don't tend to want to do this at Juve (the big players anyway, they just seem to say they don't know what will happen in the future - thus meaning they might move on if Madrid are interested!).

Juve doesn't seem to breed this loyalty in their players. Their 'business first' attitude (i.e, if it's good financial sense to sell then they tend to do it) has given them a reputation as a 'selling' club and the players know this. Of course there are exceptions, but everytime Madrid are linked to one of our players, I fear that we won't be able to hang on to them.

It shouldn't be like this. Juve are just as big (in terms of history and reputation) as Real.
As they say, "Milan's a family, Juve's a company".

It will be very sad if RM really did offer us 100M for both Zlatan and Emerson as I desperately want both to stay in Juventus, but that 100M can just do wonders to our team and increase the depth of it so we are left with no choice but to sell.

Inter infact, have lost their chance and they will regret it in the coming seasons. Just remember Adriano, may at this point of time be better than Zlatan, but as we've seen that doesnt guarantee jack. Im a firm believer, that players dont win you titles, teamwork does. Come to think about it, selling Ibra for that kind of money, actually ensures we get the better part of the deal, because we can build a defense that would be good enough to stop him anyway, if we met in the CL. So, im sorry, we must look at the rationale involved in such a decision.

The reason i say Zambrotta is less expendable than Zlatan, i dont see as many definite options on Zambro as we do for Ibra. You must also take in to account, that Zambro is the most versatile player in the squad, besides the fact that he covers one of the most delicate areas of the team. Sell Ibra, and you got a wealth of talent upfront who may not be as good, as Ibra but who will be good enough to get the job done if provided with the creative support without which Ibra's effect is nullified anyway.

Sell Ibra
Sell Emerson
Sell Del Piero

If we play our cards right, with the money earned, i think we'd be able to put together a team that could challenge on all fronts, for the next 5 years, at the very least.

Yeah good call. Perhaps we should just start all over again. Then once we buy Bojinov and make him into a great player, we'll sell him right after the first year and have all the money in the world. Then we shall start all over again.

Seriously, we don't need to him Zlatan when we can sell Trezeguet, Emerson, Zambrotta, Buffon, etc. We don't need to buy ourselves a whole new squad FFS.

You need to reach the final to win it. ;)



Irrespective, anyway. The point remains, that every player has a price. And with the Zlatan & Emo deal, i think we've been presented with an opportunity that we would be foolish not to consider.

Yeah, look at our record in the Final. We ain't too good buddy. Individual brilliance is what sets teams apart and players who can step up for the big matches.

That's the point im trying to prove. Out of 4 finals in 7 seasons, we've won just one, that too on penalties. Even though we had the likes of Vialli, Ravanelli, Del Piero (in his prime), Inzaghi, Zidane (the greatest player of the era), Deschamps, Vieri at some stage or the other.

Incase you havent noticed, individual brilliance doesnt count for much.


PS: Take in to account, the teams who beat us Borrusia Dortmund, Real Madrid and Milan. The former two iirc, went into the games as underdogs and righfully so. And they still took it home.
