If we are going to get Cassano, it's going to be this season. We won't be able to compete with the richer clubs next year when his contract is expiring/expired.
Personally, I would take a risk on him this season. The Juve squad is not terribly young, and it would be very bad if we lost Cassano to Real Madrid, Chelsea, Inter or Milan. Because once he goes to one of them, he will be out of our reach forever, and he will probably spend the next 10 years shoving our indecisiveness back down our throats by scoring against us and winning competitions for another team.

Its a very logical argument. Juve dont need Cassano this season, but would do so for the future, even with Mutu in the ranks. And this is quite frankly, the only shot Juve have at getting him, because on a free, there are way too many contenders who will beat us for his signature. So if he is made available, I can see Moggi seal the deal, to be honest. Part of that deal could also mean leaving him at Roma for another year on loan perhaps. It will be interesting to see, because Del Piero's days at Juventus, I'm sad to say could well be numbered.
I thought about this:
----------Zlatan Trezeguet----------
---------------Cassano-------------------
Zambrotta----------------------- Camoranesi
--------------Vieira----Emerson----------------
---------New CB Cannavaro Thuram----------------
--------------------Buffon---------------
About Nedved we could sell him or play rotation with him Zambrotta Camoranesi Nedved and Cassano....
or.... we could play like this but instead of Cassano we will put Nedved and we forget about Cassano....

Juventus transfer guru Luciano Moggi has rejected claims that the club are interested in Antonio Cassano.
Roma were today informed that their appeal against a FIFA transfer ban was successful, allowing them to register new players again.
This was thought to have reignited Juventus’ interest in the striker as they were keen to offer the Giallorossi a player plus cash deal.
However, Moggi remained coy when he was told of Roma’s situation.
“Good for them, the TAS’ judgement will allow them to operate in the market – as it should be,” he stated.
“The suspension of the ban is a good decision, but it does not mean that Cassano is now in our plans.
“It’s useless to insist on this, you’re wasting your time."
In other transfer news, Dejan Stankovic has insisted that Luis Figo’s arrival at Inter does not mean he will leave the San Siro.
Stankovic finds himself in direct competition with Figo for a spot on the right side of midfield.
“Good competition for every place on the pitch is more than welcome,” the Serbia and Montenegro star insisted.
“During all the summer friendlies I have played in my favourite position on the right flank, but we will see what happens with Figo in the team.”
