Can you imagine the freedom Emerson gets, he will be playing next to a high caliber player that will do a lot of what he is currently doing.....
Davids will be back on top form if he returns and I am sure of it....
Pitbull! Welcome back

--Del P./Mutu--Zlatan/Trezegol
-----------Neved
----Davids-Emerson-Camo
Zambo-Canna-Thuram-Zebina
-----------Buffon
This looks like a good thing
if this happens I presume:
we will get rid of Appiah, Tacchinardi.
And we will then get Chiellini back, which means so long Birindelli or Pessotto. Ferrara will resign and something will happen to Montero. This means we need new defenders. I want Chivu+Andrade and then Miguel or someone on the right
Mutu may become switched for Cassano, which I would want what a dream Cassano - Zlatan on top

what a dream Cassano - Zlatan on top That's an interesting formation, DDP. Davids' return could see the return of the 4-3-1-2 system, a system that brought us two Scudetti and a CL final under Lippi. Edgar is capable of playing slightly to the left as we have seen in the past and Zambrotta would be able to overlap and have more of the left flank to himself which is imo a plus. Moving Nedved back to the centre would also aid our cause as far as I'm concerned. Perhaps it has to do with age, but you can't deny the fact that Pavel has been far less effective this season at left wing than he was in previous ones behind the strikers. He isn't as creative as I would like, but he's a good passer of the ball and has an excellent shot from range, both with his left and right. Playing him on the left somewhat nullifies his ability to hit screamers from distance IMO and we lack a goalscoring threat from midfield.
Davids would be a good signing if utilised correctly, but he's going to require a large salary and with the money we would save from neglecting his signature we could bring in a much needed creative midfielder in the form of Riquelme or Rosicky, or a good two-way centre mid a la Maniche, Maresca, Pizarro.

Davids set for shock return? Thursday 20 January, 2005

Juventus could be preparing an audacious move to bring Edgar Davids back to the Delle Alpi.
Director general Luciano Moggi has made it clear that the Bianconeri are searching for a quality midfielder to play alongside Emerson.
The Dutch international is believed to be No 1 on his list despite looking out of sorts since his move to Inter this summer.
Boss Fabio Capello is a known admirer of the combative ace, trying to sign him for old club Roma on more than one occasion.
Davids left Juventus last summer on a free transfer after spending the last six months of his Turin contract on loan at Barcelona.
Should Inter reject Juventus’ approach, the Bianconeri could make enquiries about another Inter player who Capello knows from his Roma days, Cristiano Zanetti.
However, the main stumbling block over either proposed move seems to be the poor relations between the two Serie A giants.
Meanwhile, Juve’s attempts to sign Javier Mascherano from River Plate also seem to have run into trouble.
According to some sources, the talented 20-year-old has already reached an agreement with Corinthians, but is likely to stay in Buenos Aires until the summer in any case.

Upwards of 20 Million Euros.
Upwards of 20 Million Euros.
I would welcome Davids back with open arms.
The sooner Appiah goes the better (apparently Atletico Madrid are interested), I have said this all along and his recent performances have confirmed this for me, he simply isn't good enough - I don't think he'll ever improve enough to be good enough for Juve.
I don't mind Blasi, he is the best of the three but he is definitely the weak link in our midfield when he plays - and I don't think he should be playing for a team who have aspirations of winning the CL. He is the best of a bad bunch.
Tacchi has been poor ever since Davids left (or since Davids was put on the bench) and without a quality player alongside him to 'guide' him then he struggles. If Juve wants to be the best then he isn't up to the job.
I think Davids can fill this role much better than the 3 we currently have, and can be used until Juve finds a quality long-term player for the position (maybe Mascherano).

Davids I would welcome him with open arms! He is one of my favourite players a player with great determination who never gives up and has a great defence but also know how to push the midfield forward I say get him!
I don`t know how is he now but the last time I saw him was when he played in Juve and in Barcelona and he was great I wonder how is he now comparing to then...
