Van der Vaart Won’t Join Juve – Ranieri Juventus Coach Claudio Ranieri does not believe that Hamburg star Rafael van der Vaart will join the club in the summer.

The Bianconeri are days, if not hours, away from completing the deal to sign Liverpool defensive midfielder Momo Sissoko.

This summer the club are expected to purchase an attacking midfielder, and Dutch playmaker Rafael Van der Vaart has been heavily associated.

With young starlet Sebastian Giovinco set to return from his loan spell at Empoli in time for next season, Ranieri believes that Van der Vaart will not be bought.

“Van der Vaart is not how we intend midfielders to be in Italy,” the Tinkerman explained somewhat confusingly.

“I do not believe that Van der Vaart will be joining, therefore there will be no problem of him and Giovinco colliding.”

Van der Vaart revealed earlier today that he has so far had no contact with Bianconeri officials.

"I have had no contact with Juventus" the HSV captain told 'Welt-Online'. "[My future] is all still very open.”

Van der Vaart has been in fine form this season for his club and is currently joint-second top-scorer in the Bundesliga with nine goals.

So we enter a race with Valencia for Banega, VDV and Sissoko and it seems we will only sign the later... fucking briliant.

I'm waiting for the next retard who will tell me that Juventus don't feel like a Fiorentina alike.

No, not really. Not in Italy anyway. I've had this discussion with members on here before who pick Football Manager-type teams.

If Juve play:

-------------------------Zanetti------------------------

Camoranesi--------van der Vaart---------Giovinco

-------------Trezeguet--------Del Piero-------------

for example then it might look good on paper and keep fans happy who just want a big signing, but it leaves us very susceptable in the centre of midfield. Van der Vaart is not a midfielder as such, his goals ration is better and he is more in that mold between midfield and attack like Kaka and Totti. You wouldn't see them playing there, you would have two midfielders behind them. This is what Ranieri is saying.

How about a top class central midfielder instead - Mascherano.
