Its not hard to choose at all if you've watched Diaby. I'd swap Marchionni for him any day of the week and three times on a Friday, and i dont even rate Marchionni.

please please please leave schweinsteiger where he is. He does have his decent games at bayern, but he's nowhere near top-class, and he'll never get to that. He's NOT international material. If you really want to point out his good performances you have to go back to the world cup, and honestly, the whole german squad performed rather well there - let's say that 'it just worked' for them.
Schweinsteiger always fails to impress when he should have. He scored some goals, but he didn't ever step up when bayern needed that extra power. Without someone like ballack (in the NT) or ribery (at bayern) at his side, he's mediocre at best.

The only thing that makes me think about that whole deal is that he's free, next year, but honestly, if we have to give him a 'flamini-like' wage to get him over to turin, then forget it. No to schweini; i think he won't shine in a foreign league, he should stay where he is; for his own good! just my 2c

I guess you were hibernating in the summer of 2008...you must have missed the EUROPEAN CHAMPIONSHIPS
no but i dont believe him having a bad tournament necessarily means he will be bad at juve, i just have a good feeling about him performing at juve like sissoko has despite all the doubters around him including myself, and lets face it schweiny is a huge upgrade on any backup for camo. his wage demand, well that may be a stumbling block but id still have him over joaquin who would most likely want more in wages, i think schweiny is just keen on a change in scenery more than anything

Any infos about these 3 LB's?

Emanuelson(Ajax)
Kleber(Santos)
Papa(Velez)

Kleber once played in the bundesliga for Hannover but I can't remember how he was.He is part of the Brazilian NT nowadays.What about this midget Papa?What are his qualities?
I didn't watch Ajax for a long time,how is Emanuelson doing and does he play as a LM or LB?
-Papa played in the friendly game between scotland and argentina, he looked pretty decent, he reminds me of bayern's lahm (short, good ball control and decent crosses) definately an upgrade over what we have.

-Emanuelson is pretty good going forward but defensively very shaky IMO.

-Haven't seen Kleber.

Between the two i would pick papa.....

To those who mentioned Lichsteiner:tup:. One of the few fullbacks these days who can attack and defend well. He is probably one of Lazio's best and most consistent performers this season. I remember when he signed for Lazio, Fred was giving him props and mentioned that he was in the team of the year for Ligue 1 last season.

How old is Lichsteiner and how much will he cost? The board needs to ring in the changes this winter, and to those who oppose scheinsteiger...at least he is free and would be a much better backup than marco is for camo. Who knows we could probably sell schweiny a season or two later for a nice price if he doesnt work out. But as was mentioned a few posts back, he could probably have a change of scenery and that might suit him well.
