The Return Of Appiah (1 Viewer)

Appiah for Turin return?

Ghana captain Stephen Appiah is being linked with a surprise return to Juventus in the winter transfer window.

The 26-year-old midfielder left Turin for Turkish giants Fenerbahce in 2005 for a fee of around £5m after two seasons in the Bianconeri jersey.

Juve are currently on the hunt for midfield options as Tiago Mendes and Sergio Almiron continue to struggle to settle at the Stadio Olimpico.

Appiah is under contract at the Sukuru Saracoglu Stadium until June 2009, but it has been suggested that he could use FIFA Article 17 to quit Istanbul.

This rule states that players can unilaterally cancel a contract after a “protracted period” if a compensation package, based on their salary, is paid to their club.

It is believed that discussions are at an early stage, but Appiah is said to be keen to return to the peninsula as soon as January.

Naah no need for Appiah IMO. Zanetti>Appiah.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

the title sounds like the name of a sci-fi sequel.

 

[CORVETTE]

Marchisio .

 

[HelterSkelter]

Appiah.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

i can get it for you unless you're against bootlegging.

Naah no need for Appiah IMO. Zanetti>Appiah.

Zanetti is one of the best players ATM in his position. You can't compare him to no one IMO but only to Essien, Ambrosini and etc.

But that doesn't mean we shouldn't get Appiah if we had the chance, he's a great player and plays in more than one position. I'd say bring him back.

 

[Quetzalcoatl]

and he wants to come back, which is a good thing.

 

[Salvatore]

Marchisio .

my first though as well. and its not like the kid hasn't impressed in the empoli squad...

 

[Arvin]

I say bring him back...

 

[Espectro]

Let Marchisio on Empoli the whole year, he will win experience... about Appiah... got mixed opinions about it

 

[Trezegol17]

He would be good for the depth in our squad!

 

[Hambon]

Ma man. . He needs to get his black ass to turin asap. He is truely a warrior and will bring the added depth,hustle,tenacity and experience our mid field is lacking. .

 

[ItaBomber]

Buy Appiah and Barzagli(/Zaccardo), than we have a Juve for the SCUDETTO!!!
The young players like Marchisio, Giovinco and so on need experience and are for the future!

In two years is Giovinco the new Del Piero!!:eyebrows:

.....

 

[p0rcupine_tree]

this is a prove that almiron and tiago turned out to be a pure GARBAGE for our squad...actually zanetti is so good at the moment and deserves an international call by "ding-dang-doni" and noccerino turned out to be an absolute warrior...yet we lack some kind of creativity on the midfield especially at the center of our midfield...we also feel to get a back up for neddy because of his age and fatigue...i say please come back appiah!!!

The guy failed miserably with Juve the 1st time. I'm all for 2nd chances but we're already packed in the mid. I would only buy one if he was world-class.

Maybe he was played in a different position but I still remember him as a guy who was scared of the ball and losing it most of the time. Nice long distance shot and decent passing but that's all. We need a lot more than that, we need a mid that will make the difference if we can find/afford him. If not then I'm happy with what we got in the team now and on loan.

Under Lippi I can't remmber how he failed. He was one of the few players in that 03-04 year performing good when others weren't.

Under Capello he wasn't given lot of chances.

 

[Mark]

Lippi or Capello, he didn't make the difference. I'd give Tiago/Almiron a second chance and see what they got. Secco invested 21m € on those guys so he will do everything to make it work.

 

[Cronios]

Appiah, has changed, he is now more effective and mature, than ever and also seems more confident and maybe even, a bit stronger too.
Fact is, either Almiron or Tiago are hitting the road, a player like Appiah would be very useful, but we have other priorities now.
Even if we we decide to bring in a new quality DM, we can always find free agents or loan players like Ballack, no need to spend more cash for DM right now...
Besides, there is a tradition, that Juve never buys back players, we sold...
