Jovetic clause will suck big time for us, if true... We shouldn't have tried for Berbatov if we were really into JoJo. I guess Marotta was trying to put pressure on Fiorentina to release JoJo if we back out of Berbatov's deal??? Bad move for our brave GM- Berba fucked everyone and us twice that day.

On a sidenote - does anyone believe reports that CR7 might go back to Manchester? That will certainly shake things up everywhere. Perhaps Mourinho is thinking of playing Ozil and Modric or he would buy someone big, just can't imagine whom.

Anti-Juve clause for Jovetic?


There are reports Fiorentina are introducing an 'anti-Juventus’ clause into Stevan Jovetic’s new contract to bar him from moving to Turin.

The two clubs were already in talks for the Montenegro international this summer, but the Viola rejected a bid thought to be worth €25m.

The rapport between the sides has always been tense, but the situation exploded in the last days of the transfer session over Dimitar Berbatov.

Fiorentina publicly accused Juve of acting unprofessionally by intercepting a done deal with the Manchester United striker, but the Bianconeri insist they only approached him after being told Berbatov had turned down the move.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Fiorentina are not going to let that 'snub’ pass and will try to include a clause in Jovetic’s contract ensuring he won’t end up in Turin.

This would bar Jo-Jo from joining Juventus even if they were to pay the €40m buy-out clause.

Would you Jovetic accept that? It's not beneficial to his career being excluded from any particular club.

Can't be true. Can it?

Number one reason why I believe the players from early 2000's, late 90's (what I've seen) are much better than today's players is because of defense. The art of defending is almost a lost art nowadays, teams need to defend in large numbers (park the bus as they call it). Freaking Nesta at 37 DESTROYED the BEST player in the World and arguably one of the best of all times. Now imagine the likes of Messi\CR7, etc being up against defenders like Nesta, Canna, Thuram, etc.
Even Chiellini, Thiago Silva, Vidic, etc look bland and average compared to the great defenders from the past. Speed and athleticism are important factors but that's not what made Pirlo, Nesta or Del Piero some of the best players of all times.

IMO there's a direct correlation between the level of defending and the talents around, great defenders force strikers\players to be even greater. Until we see more of the likes of the older defenders I think the likes of CR7, Messi should never be uttered in the same breath as DP, Totti, Raul, etc.

Funny. I think Messi is better than all three of those players.

Del piero is my favourite player ever, i grew up crying for him. And Messi is better and lol at the comparaison with Totti, it's laughable.

Del piero pre injury was the best in the world, but that only last for a short time, he was still a great player after that but he was never the same.

Messi is the best player in the world for 4 years now and he's only 24. He's a WC win away from being in the conversation for the best ever.
