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Sampdoria have asked that his contract be rescinded and a decision is pending on Friday, although Cassano's lawyers have requested that it be postponed.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

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.
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

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.

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.
