Oil cash funds Cassano move? Sunday 27 March, 2005
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Juve have hinted that they could use the money from a new sponsorship deal to fund their summer bid for Antonio Cassano.
The club coffers were given a massive boost this week when it was announced that Libyan company Tamoil has signed on to pay £76m over the next five years to sponsor their shirts in all competitions. There is also an option to extend for a further five seasons at a cost of £90m.
Last summer saw a more cautious transfer approach from the Turin giants due to financial worries, so this sudden influx of fresh money will prompt them to bring in the top stars.
“We won’t go mad,” insisted director general Luciano Moggi. “Juventus will only bring in useful players to improve the squad.”
One such player is Antonio Cassano, who has been linked to the club ever since Fabio Capello took charge in May 2004.
Cassano has also pushed these rumours along by repeatedly confessing his admiration for the Coach and that he “misses him every day a little bit more.”
The uncertainty at Roma, who are on their fourth tactician of the campaign, and the fact he has yet to start serious renegotiations for a contract that expires in 2006 makes this summer a crucial stage in the young starlet’s career.
Real Madrid are also interested in the Italian international, but there can be no doubting his favoured destination should be finally break it off with the side that signed him for £20m in 2001.
"He is a player who has grown up a lot in recent times," said Juve goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon this week. "He’s a lot more disciplined than he was at Euro 2004. He would be perfect for Juventus and could win the Golden Ball with our help.”

If we'd bring in Cassano for cash, there's a huge chance we will see some departures. As we'd have 4 players with a similar playing style: Del Piero, Cassano, Ibrahimovic, Mutu.
Though Ibrahimovic could learn, none of the 4 are born goal-scorers/finishers. In essence they are all support-strikers.
So at a max two of them will play in support of a striker (ala Trezeguet).
We could take the risk and play Ibrahimovic as the striker/point-man and have two out of Cassano/DP/Mutu support him and have them rotating. As fascinating as that'd look, I think we'd lack some real efficiency though.
Thus, I'm quite sure we'll see 1 or 2 big name strikers leave this summer.

IMO. DO NOT BUY CASSANO. Don't you see guys our attackers are all great:
Del Piero: played ~20 scored 11 he is a supporting atacker
Ibrahimovic: scored 10 goals, he is also a supporting attacker but has been playing as a finisher for a while.
Trezeguet: His unfortunate injuries are the reason of him not scoring this season. He is one of the best attackers to scores from the air. Plus he is a very good header "something we need".
Zalayata: Good season.
Mutu: can be used as a left wing and also known as a good supporting attacker. The great thing about him that he was tested in the Serie A and aws successful.
We are the 3 strongest offence in the Serie A thats taking into account that our finisher isn't playing. So I think we are doing well upfront.
What i think our money should go to a creative midfielder, someone to play nedveds role.
Then we should think about our deffence especially CB. When either fabio or lilian doesn't play its a disaster.
Guys don't forget last season, our offence was doing great its our deffence that was leaking like hell. We re-inforeced our offence with two players (Zlatan and Adrian) and our Deffence with just Fabio. We still need more CB. Ciro is retiring and Montero is not doing really well.
Thats what I think.
If you really want to bring Cassano trade him with Mutu.
