Giovinco is better than Nasri in the same way that Paro is better than Fabregas.


Though the Giovinco-Nasri is a closer call.
yes this time it is a closer call..i mean at least Giovinco is talented and does have a future at Juve...but still, Nasri is an established international, while Giovinco is a "promising" player, who is yet to gain a regular starting spot at Empoli.

The “Old Lady” Charms Van Der Vaart

With the likes of Chelsea, Internazionale, Valencia, Arsenal, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona all allegedly interested in signing him, it now seems that Rafael Van Der Vaart is a Juventus Turin target as well – and he’s enjoying the attention.



zoom - galleria The HSV captain says that he’s aware of La Vecchia Signora’s interest and sees a move to Italy feasible. “I already know that there’s something going on here,” he told the Voetbal International magazine.

“If they come up with a concrete offer then I will listen to it in any case. I will only leave Hamburg for a club of a higher stature. Juventus certainly meet this criteria and their interest doesn’t really surprise me.” Special clause

Van Der Vaart’s move to Valencia last August fell through in the very last minute with HSV’s call, but things have changed since then. The spectacular playmaker, worth at least 20 million euros, is under contract up until June 30, 2010, but according to a special clause would be able to leave the club a year earlier for just one million!

The former Ajax star said on October 18 that he’ll play for Hamburg until the end of the current season and a few weeks later, on November 24, he didn’t rule out a possible contract extension. His current employers have reportedly offered him a deal until June 30, 2012, with a significant pay-rise. The 24-year-old’s current salary is estimated at two million.

But it seems like he’s already set his mind on leaving. “I think that HSV are prepared to open talks should another club lay the money on the table.” he said.

However, Van Der Vaart is poised in proving himself as a man of his word, excluding a January move. “I have never left a club in the middle of a season and therefore I won’t do it now either.”

I think our scouts decided on him instead of Deigo, with him in replacing Nedved, and he could play in right side too, and with possibility to have Lamps, i think we are tooooo strong....

If we got Van Der Vart, Lampard and held on to Tiago I'd be more than happy.

Anelka is still an awesome striker that can be world class though....that is if he could stay at one club for more than 5 minutes

i agree, i think Anelka could have been a better player than henry if he wasn't such a nut-job! he really wasted his career at madrid

Nasri still has a long way to go, my friend. I prefer Giovinco. Giovinco is not any worse than him.



We need 2 options for that position. What if VDV gets injured?
Ruben Olivera will save the day with his quick anticipation and fast passing. In fact, who needs Giovinco or Van Der Vaart.

i beg to differ..Nasri is already an established member of the french NT, has CL experience, is obviously more proven than Giovinco and he's only one year older than him.
I was speaking in the term of talent. CL experience? :D He played 2 matches, 3 at most. Also he isn´t that established member of France NT. He still doesn´t have 10 caps.

Well thats because he only recently became a starter...He is definitely more of a finished article than giovinco..who is yet to prove anything btw..scoring a free kick against Roma and creating a goal or two..doesnt make you better than someone who plays for the French NT.

Van Der Vaart: I Am Ready For Juve
Hamburg midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart has admitted that he is ready to join Juventus.



zoom - galleria The 24-year-old playmaker joined the Bundesliga club in 2005 but is now desperate to test himself in a stronger league.



He seemed all set for a move to Valencia in the summer, however Hamburg scrapped the deal at the very last minute.



Van der Vaart is tied to the Germans until 2010, however due to a special clause in his contract he will be able to leave the club a year earlier for just £1m.



Hamburg are thus almost certain to sell their prized asset at the end of the season and a number of Serie A clubs, including Inter and Juventus have been linked.



Yesterday the Bianconeri were associated with a swap deal including Argentine flop Sergio Almiron, who has been a huge disappointment in Turin since signing from Empoli.



Either way it seems that Van der Vaart is ready to sign for Claudio Ranieri’s men if they come in with a serious offer.



“I will only leave Hamburg for a big club, such as Juventus,” said the Dutchman.



“If the Italian team were to make a serious offer, I would pay attention to it and I think that Hamburg are ready to do a deal.”


Vaart and Lampard...hope we can get both

From Day 1 I have believe that he will not join Juventus but I hope that Secco and Company can prove me wrong and actually pull one off. :xfinger:
