Juventus will decide Alonso's fate in ten days


Juventus are still trying to desperately sign a midfielder for next season. They have looked at many, but the player that has been associated with them the longest is Liverpool's spanish star Xabi Alonso.

Other targets have included Inter Milan's Stankovic, who is thought to be Ranieri's favourite, Miguel Veloso, and the latest candidate, Christian Poulsen from Sevilla.

The Juventus chairman Giovanni Cobolli Gigli has indicated that they will have to make a decision soon, and if newspaper reports are anything to go by, then Alonso has proved to be too expensive for their tastes.

The Sevilla man, Poulsen, will definitely be a more economical purchase, but Gigli says that that will not be the deciding factor:

"I don’t know whether Poulsen will arrive but Jean-Claude Blanc and Alessio Secco will certainly decide for the best and choose the man who is best suited to Ranieri," said Giovanni Cobolli Gigli.

"Our fans certainly would like to see a warrior. It’s not that we are looking for cheap signings, but value is important.

"In 10 days we will decide everything."

After two months of uncertainty, it seems that Alonso has resigned himself to staying at Anfield, but he will know for sure very soon.

His future may also rest on the transfer of Gareth Barry from Villa. Benitez will be in no rush to sell Alonso unless he is sure that Barry will definitely be at Anfield next season.

Nothing.

Just as there is nothing wrong with Villa trying to get as much money for him as they can.

15:04, 09 July

The supporters of Juventus have made a petition online for the purchase of Xabi Alonso. Over 2000 signatures from all over the world. The petition, present on the forum of supporters bianconeri www.vecchiasignora.com, wants to reclaim the purchase of Juventus midfielder. The signatures and appeals within the petition, which will be presented to society, not only come from Italy but also from U.S., Hungary, Poland, Mexico, Israel, China and Indonesia. The fans are hoping for as Stankovic that the company considers the position of typhus-white.

 

[BIG DADDY!!!]

Nothing.

Of course Villa are entitled to get as much as they can, but if your club captain puts in a transfer request i think the club should respect his wish and not try to inflate his price and also fine him for speaking out!

But then I supose football is a business and there are not much gentlemen left in the sport!

 

[JCK]

Isn't that the same article and same quotation that popped up yesterday but today that 10 days-line has been added?

 

[BIG DADDY!!!]

You maybe right Jeeks.

Most of these articles are the same recycled garbage!

 

[JCK]

It's just lines from here and there, they join them together and make a story out of them and most of all they come up with a title from Mars that makes some people react as if there is no tomorrow.

 

[zann]

wtf is going on man?

 

[JCK]

Nothing is going on man, where is man?

 

[zann]

lol haha

actually i'm kinda sick of following the news abt this transfer anymore.
fucken villians.

 

[farinazzo]

It's confirmed on the official aston villa homepage (don't have the link atm, but i saw it). They said that in the next days (tomorrow?), Sidwell will have his medicals and sign the contract. But it's pretty much official with sidwell.

Question is; do they need to sell barry for this deal? Don't know too much about villa's financial situation, but everything points to a barry to liverpool transfer in the next days.



Agreed; let's not sell tiago. He's way under his market value right now, and i doubt we could possibly sell him for a reasonable price (reports say wolfsburg from germany are after him - that's a mid-table team and i doubt they can pull out 10 millions). We'd have the following midfield;

Nedved (Gio) -- Alonso (Tiago) -- Camo (Marchisio)
Sissoko (Zanetti)​

that's CL-material if you ask me...

it is not CL material if you ask me. For starters Nedved no longer has the legs, although he played well last season, remember that Juve weren't in the CL so played fewer games than Milan/Inter/Roma etc and the Uefa Cup teams. This will take its toll this season so we need more quality on the left as Giovinco is unproven at this level and would probably be better in the hole. Marchisio is also quite defensive compared to camoranesi so once again no creativity, just a pragmatic midfield. If you watched Ranieri's Chelsea they played with flair with quick wingers and creators in midfield, not ball winner. However i do feel that Tiago will have a good season and hopefully repeat his Lyon and to a certain extent Chelsea form.

 

[Sad Statue]

Xabi Alonso and who else?

tiago i meant...

if he goes as well as they say, he will be as a new transfer...


for alonso now...

mr seco is the doomest or the most clever man of the world...

he may have made the most clever trivk i have ever seen gith the "purchase" of poulsen...

or we may have lost one of the easyest tranfsers ever...

we' ll see...

Juve - Xabi: forse oggi l'intesa (Gazzetta dello Sport)

Battuta d'arresto nella trattativa fra la Juventus e Poulsen, mentre si riprende a parlare con il Liverpool per Xabi Alonso. Quella di ieri è stata una giornata piuttosto piena per gli uomini mercato della Juventus, Alessio Secco a Torino e Jean-Claude Blanc a Nyon. Il direttore sportivo, che nei ritagli di tempo ha anche prolungato fino al 2013 il contratto di Sissoko, ha incontrato il procuratore del centrocampista danese per offrirgli un contratto quadriennale da 2,5 milioni contro una richiesta di 3: la controparte si è presa 48 ore di tempo per dare una risposta.

Contemporaneamente l'amministratore delegato, in Svizzera per impegni istituzionali, ha incontrato i dirigenti dei Reds: non hanno ancora trovato l'intesa sul prezzo del cartellino di Xabi Alonso, ma potrebbero raggiungerla in breve tempo, secondo fonti di Londra oggi stesso. Questione di ore, insomma. In caso contrario, domani la Juventus stringerebbe per Poulsen, che sosterrebbe subito le visite mediche per poi raggiungere la squadra nel ritiro di Pinzolo prima di domenica. La bozza del contratto sarebbe già stata stipulata sul taxi che riportava a Malpensa il procuratore del danese.


the fate of alonso maybe today.

blanc was at nyon, secco was at turin to renew sissoko contract. seems like we will end up poulson. -.-
