Moggi: 'I'd sign Cassano'
Luciano Moggi has revealed that if he were still in charge at Juventus, he would have no problem signing Antonio Cassano.

The 28-year-old Italy international has been frozen out at Sampdoria after falling out with Riccardo Garrone in October.

Sampdoria have asked that his contract be rescinded and a decision is pending on Friday, although Cassano's lawyers have requested that it be postponed.

Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli, Moggi was pressed on whether he would give Cassano a chance to rebuild his career again at Juventus.

“I would sign him,” Moggi said. “Antonio is a player who I like a lot. Maradona's Napoli had ball breakers of the highest order and they won everything.”

He is the anti-me.


A pessimist. :dielaugh:
yes but someone has to be, or we are dissapointed every januari and summer with the transfers.


i to, would relish to see dzeko comming, to see pastore be del piero's heir, to have vargas or bale on left wing, to get johnson and tremoulinas for the fullbacks.

Since they like taking loans and paying in installments maybe we will buy three more quality players just like quag and Aquilani and pay them later as usually.
this is what i'd see happening most likely : two , three loan players, and then 20-30 mil on 1 player wich is probably a striker.

i'm shure marotta will do a great job

Who would you choose?

---------------------Dzeko------------------
-----Neymar/Pastore------------Krasic--

Also how good is Van Der Wiel? Who would you choose out of him and Cassani? Can Van defend?

Didn't Moggi just two days ago said that if he had Cassano as a player he would have watched from the stands paying for his ticket?

u mistake


moggi said if he acted against him, as he did at the sampdoria president, he would make him watch the rest of the season from the stands, paying his ticked

however, he would buy the player right now

Right, my bad.

Moggi said that if he was in charge, Cassano would never set foot on the pitch (again) due to his unacceptable behaviour.
Moggi would also sign & spend money on that same player who would never set foot on the pitch.

Makes perfect sense.

Since when were there not installment plans for transfers? They have been around for a while.

You're acting like those deals are a free lunch when it doesn't matter when you pay them... you still owe the same amount.

:wth:
No I'm not. I know that but if you read my post responding to Gian the point I was making was that for a reasonable chunk of next years budget we are able to keep the team intact, retaining what we want. Instead of dropping 16m on Aquilani one time we can pay less which is more manageable in the short term but probably a bit more expensive over those 3 years. Any deal(car loan, mortgage for your house, etc.) you make in today's world to pay installments over a period of time works that way - you'll pay more over a longer period although the payments will be smaller and last longer. Pretty much all transfers work that way unless it's a small fee or you have tons of capital behind you. Yes.

I was not disputing that at all. But 12m~ every year, for three years to retain Aquilani, Pepe and Quag is not a bad deal at all. Better spending 32m~ as opposed to 62m~ on some soggy potato Brazilians over 3-4 years.

The only thing I wasn't sure about was the Quag deal. Whether it would be paid over the next 2 years or the next 3 years since they've already been paid 1/3 of it to secure the loan in the first place.

95% is too much flattering, I wild guess would land around 23 to 27%
Are you serious? Based on what are those numbers?

So far his transfer guesses were/are correct, at least IMO. When it comes to players potential he also made good points and yet again most were correct. In the end, he was right when he said he'd sell Milito and maybe even Maicon. When he talked about our current players he guessed almost everthing.

So what are 80% of his misses? I'm not one of his 'ultra' fans but I gotta admit he knows his stuff and IMO he's the best guy for that at this moment. He wipes the floor with Baldini, Secco, Marotta and Corvino.

Before the right statement comes true he says tens of contradicting statements before. Here you have a 50% fail with the Cassano thing.
