Wow. I missed all the freaking action. Just a really busy day and finally when I access the net I see this. Anyway guys, here's my initial reaction: more shocked than I am disappointed for not having Cassano and Mancini on the flight to Turin. I think however, I'd attribute more positives to this deal than negatives. We've got to keep 3 players in Chiellini, Balzaretti and the hugely talented Adrian Mutu. Dont be mistaken though, Cassano still has a future with Juventus, and I think he realises that. According to my estimations however, these deals were in the making, but I think Moggi wasnt willing to give Roma what they wanted: Adrian Mutu and Giorgio Chiellini. That couldve been a major spoke in negotiations and one of the chief contributing factors to this outcome. So at the end of the day, I think Mutu now has time to prove himself and his capabilities for Juventus. The only loser from this deal to me though is Del Piero. I think Cassano's arrival wouldve hastened a move elsewhere, but I dont think he really wants to go anywhere else for the fear that he may not enjoy the hero like status he enjoys in Turin. I could be wrong. As for Cassano, I think he could arrive in January or a more likely scenario would be a free next June. Who knows? Moggi possibly has already secured the rights to that passage. Dont be disappointed though guys, Mancini would've been a great addition, but I think Balzaretti, Chiellini and Gladstone could prove to be useful all the same. I dont think the market has been perfect but I'd have to say the way this deal worked out, it's probably happened for the best.
PS: Marts, I owe you 50? Wtf? When did we even bet, successful entreprenuer?

Well the way I see it, we could all be winners by the time the Champions League final rolls around next year. But then again, we could all be losers. Honestly though, I think this signing saga had more to it. I think Capello was all for Mancini and Cassano, but Moggi must've insisted he wouldnt be giving away Mutu for the deal. And Capello must've told him fine, give it a shot, if it works out, well and good, if not we'll hold on to Mutu. I cant say Im not glad Moggi had his way.
I think we should have cassano for future but when should we buy him and how? Moggi Knows.
Maybe a pre-contract have been made already. who knows?
I'm happy we kept Chiellini and Mutu. But I expeted zalayeta to leave today.
Now Juventus have a great and competetive squad. Cassano case close till january at least. and let's focous on our objectives.
I do think this team must win something great this term.
