I don't really care if Stankovic is a former Inter player, as long as he does his job well he deserves the praises.

........
True.

Shitsoko and Faquinta were the only two players Juventini didn't want Juve to buy last season. Actually, most of the fans were angry at the board.
On the other hand, the Juventini were delighted when they heard that we bought Criscito, Almiron and Tiago.

Probably they'll make a press conference for both Alonso and Stankovic so they'll take the attention away from Stankovic.
The fans are wrong here. First of all they don't represent all the Juventini in the world and second they have no rights to interfere like this in the mercato.
If the board and the coach decided that it's a good thing to buy Stankovic then the fans should accept, obey and support the decission. It's not like we're selling Del Piero to Inter for 1m or we're buying a 5th Chinese league goalkeeper for 20m. In case the board is obviously hurting the team then i could understand the fans, but it's not the case here.

Personally, i'm not so sure anymore if i want Stankovic in Juve. The idiots will whistle everytime he touches the ball, they'll kill his confidence and make the whole team nervous.
On the other hand, it's a bad thing if the board won't show any guts and do what they planned to do. If they give up on Stankovic they'll let the world see that they're weak and they're letting the fans (again a reminder: Badass Devil is also a fan) run the team.
The same story with Donadoni and the Italian newspapers all over again.
I don't think our fans are idiots like you're claiming. The situation few years ago is different than couple of years ago after the Scandal. The fans have all the right to protest and help in blocking his transfer.

Apart from our fans thing, he's not that interesting player to really keep an eye on. I don't understand our board's mentality and Ranieri. What will Stankovic add to the team? I've seen him all season long playing most of the matches if not all under Mancini and he's nothing.

As for some posters whom are questioning what players we'll find if we don't sign Stankovic. Wake the hell up. Football world is full of players, just because Stankovic plays for a big team and just because he was a decent player years back doesn't mean he's the only one we can look at. If Cobolli and Ranieri really wants to find a player in any kind of position they'll find. And I'd rather have a talented youngster in the middle since the likes of Giovinco will be playing pretty soon.

After calciogate, a players words mean little to me. Appeasing the fans is a part of any professional athletes career.

Although he isn't at the top of my list, for the right price he can prove to be a good purchase. Juve's recent history with out of form interista is something to consider.

Well, i obviously disagree about the first paragraph in your post, as for the rest i can't say that you're wrong. There is a fair chance that Stankovic will never find his old form and he'll continue playing as bad as he did last year.
On the question "What will Stankovic add to the team?" the answer is obvious. He'll add depth and he'll allow Camoranesi some rest, without having to play Nocerino or Salihamidzic whenever Camo isn't available. We could have certainly looked for another MR, but the board decided not to take risks and go for someone who has proven himself in serie A.
I believe your judgement on Stankovic is clowded by his disastrous (half) season. He's been fantastic for both Lazio and Inter until 2007/08. In 2006/07 he was the Inter player with most Man of the match awards. He started the last season great, with a goal and great performance, then he got a bad injury and missed the first half of the season. When he returned from injury in last 20 rounds of the season he's been awful.

One more thing no-one took into consideration is how do our players react on this potential transfer ?
What if he gets a green light from Del Piero and Buffon ?
If i remember correctly, Del Piero said that he gave his jersey to Stankovic after the Inter-Juve match because Stankovic was begging him to give him his jersey for 3 years. The tone Del Piero used, the way he was joking about this situation (he said è tre anni che mi rompeva le scatole ... ) i can't properly translate the term but it's something a good guy like Del Piero would say only about someone he's in great terms with, not about someone he doesn't like.
If the board wants him, if the coach wants him and if we find out that the players like him, would it then be ok to sign him ? (this question is for those who don't want him in Juve only because of what he said about Juve)

Im not a fan of this deal I hate it, but our other alternatives seem to be really high. And contrary to what people say, I actually do think we need a wide man, at least one more.

that's because you lack the bigger picture
You're one to talk.

This guy thinks Iaquinta is better than Podolski and believes Ronaldinho was never world class.

He thinks he's special because he met Pavel Nedved. :melayyanandmessi: Why don't we just call you Zirkhov, fake pavelnedved.

Not sure about the Ultras, but many people here are irrational douchebags with their crap. But we already knew.

But the point is, he will not improve the team. HE IS PANTS! He is no better than Nedved or Giovinco, he is not young, he is not friggin creative. Stop saying that! And hid long range "aim for the Ultras" shots are annoying as hell.

Solely on what we he can add to the team, NO! That is not even taking into account the fact that he is a filthy interista. I'm not saying I would never take a player for inter, becasue Maicon, Samuel, Toldo are okay. Stankovic is on the same level of filth as Materazzi, Cordoba, Vieira and Cameltoe. In the end intermerda wil be laughing theri asses off at us at how we were f***ed over. We reportedly would pay similar to what they're offering for Lampard.

More fit? That's okay because, if we were to get Stank, I would really hope it's not for a starting position, because if that were the case, just give the Gio the damn spot and let Nedved bench. Honestly, throwig Gio in at the deep end is less of a risk than purchasing Stank.

Better than Marchionni? That's an unfair statement because he's rarely been fit for us, but he has done well when he played, and for Parma he was always great.

The "pants" part came from Steven Coehn from FFF, I just found it sounded funny.

I think they are voicing their opinion and its due to the lack of trust in the board. Trust is hard to gain and harder to maintain as we all know, even though they are on the right track they will need to prove themselves more and more as the comparisons will always be there against the old board.

IMO its a a good thing because they need to feel pressure from the fans and have faith in their own decisions. Influencing factors should be irrelevant in that context and in that kind of situation, if they think Stankovic is good enough then he should be signed. They have to make the tough decisions as they are the professionals.

Thats one of the reasons why i am so interested in this transfer, it will provide us with an idea on how this board will act in these situations.

If we buy Stankovic, we will have to get rid of Marchionni!
Neddy, Giovinco, Camo, Stankovic and Salih are enough to cover our wings!!
Giovinco will def have his chances, CR will try many more schemes and he might try him in different formations than our typical 4-4-2
Giovinco is versatile and very capable, dont worry about him.
I think its time to get rid of Marhionni, i ve always had faith on him, i still remember his spectacular Parma days, but we cannot depend on him, he is not just injury prone, he is the definition of it!!
Upgrading a waste of space and salary, dead wood in our team, with a useful more versatile and potentially higher class player is a good deal.
Marchionni's salary would pay Stankovic's half salary,
Marchionni's transfer fee, will pay Stankovic's half transfer fee,
we are practically upgrading from a constantly injured player to a useful available one.
Stankovic will be much more useful than Marchionni and Salih on the wings and if necessary he can fill a place in the center too, where those guys couldnt...
Remember that we agreed to give away Palla and we will need a LM at the beginning of the season, well Stankovic will cover that need too...

i voted yes cause he is cheaper that VDV or Diego and he can play in many position in the midfield.he can add the missing creativity of last season and he is equally good to VDV and Diego imo.
I never ask you guys for anything, but please ban this guy just this one time.

Can we play that fun game of giving many mod powers just for this case? :)
yeah sure:shifty:
