Trezeguet and Camoranesi will not be replaced with quality but mediocrity. Let's say Pazzini and Palladino. This is what i call backward.

Without serious money injection and a proper director who knows how to spend we won't gain anything by their departure.
Maybe not both of them, but one of them will be replaced by quality, imo. Just like in Nedved's case, when his departure meant buying Diego, in Camo's and Trez's case the directors will be forced to splash money on top quality.

But keeping both of them here and then both of them missing huge part of the season, means that we won't even have any replacements for them.

Alen, you do have some good points, but replacing a player like Trez or Camo could prove to be impossible. Especially when you consider that we'll more than likely have a very limited transfer budget.

Let's single out Trez for a moment. Selling him won't get you any real money because of his age / current contract, but we would indeed save some money on wages.

On the other hand, you could also opt to sell Amauri. You'd save money on his (also significant wages) & he would still fetch a decent transfer sum. Not as much as we paid for him, but still.

Overall, I'd think that the finances for both possibilities are pretty much the same.
So you either keep an injury prone but proven world class striker or a decent striker who's rarely injured.

Personally, I'd opt to keep Trezeguet, for the simple reason that a player like Amauri is easier to replace. Add to that the fact that Amauri's value has been decreasing & will continue to decrease even further (regardless of form, he's getting older). Which means that, once we do part ways with him, we can kiss a nice transfer sum goodbye.

    Any proof of that? As far as I'm concerned it's just speculation...
    He was quoted saying Juve approached him and told him what he thinks about Ciro...Grosso and Canna were outside of the country and said if they want the NT then they should go back to Italy. Look who's stuck with them now. There's no official word about Lippi to Juve but rumours that look to be real day by day. Could the "project" change? Who knows?

    I think I'm with this in selling Amauri before he becomes worth nothing, because he doesn't have the qualities of a top class striker.

    Find the rumours hilarious at this time of year. Already we're getting rid of Diego :D

    If you believe this than Lippi was doing that since the NT would benefit from Grosso, Canna, and Buffon playing together and he was national coach. Juve suffering from it was not his concern.

    But if he joins us as president Juve would be his main concern and not another team, so saying we shouldn't consider him because he was looking out for the team he was coaching over Juve is silly.

    I just think it is a lot of ifs an buts. Natural move for them to ask him about Ciro. But they had to know he could not talk about something that he did not know. If they hired him on Lippis judgement they are to blame imo. As far as i'm aware Lippi only knows ciro as a player...?

    Cannavaro and Grosso were so obvious and cheap temporary solutions. We have spent 2M€ on them combined, and would we be better of without them? I really doubt it.

    I can see that he has won by Cannavaro and Grosso playing in Juve, but that is not the same as he orchestrated the moves. I think it is too circumstantial. I like to view Lippi as a great in Juve eyes. And I definetly think he do better on our board than the current ones.

    looooooooong way to go before the mercato ;) Everything will be different when the leagues ends and the WC starts. After the WC, we will see who will join us. Until then it's all useless bullshit.

    Lippi is finishe as a coach. Remember his 03/04 with us, it was terrible. If the "scandal" and pessottos suicide attempt didn't happen, no way in hell italy wud've won the WC 2006. Look at italy now, not even a miracle will help italy pass the grp stage. NT sucks as much as we do.

    Lippi as coach - No thanks.
    Lippi as president/ other high post - YES!

    I would like ribery, he is the playmaker we so badly need. We could offer Bayern Amauri and 10 million euros that should do it:p
    That must be a joke. You are valuing amauri at least 25m....do u realize that? Ribery is worth much more than what u just proposed...but if they are dumb enough then done deal it:p
