Carrara.
Yep. He and Gigi Buffon can carpool together on holidays. ;)

And 3 mil € per year? :eek:
Yeah, well, that's really a heavy price to pay for him on a salary basis, regardless of the "free" transfer possibilities. Maybe we should go for Javier instead -- can play right back as well as defensive midfield, which has some appeal given our softness at RB and the questions around Gianni. But 3 Mil for Cristiano??

I think Gianni will come good eventually. He hasnt had enough time in the middle but I wouldnt doubt his ability just yet.

3mil for a sub?
he is better than Gianni but... he isnt good enough to be a starter for Juve IMO(comparing to what we have and sould aim for the future), to expensive, or even wasted, to be benched...

C Zanetti is more for a sub for Emersonas stated in the article. Since Emerson can't play all the games, a decent replacement is needed. I'm not saying that Gianni is bad, but Crisitano offered more stability. But letting him earning a salary of 3 million is in fact too much. I would swop 1 of the RBs we have with Zanetti.
Which one Zhi?
What shell we do with Tacchinardi when his loan finishes?

With Tacchinardi we will have to see how well he does at Villareal, still to early to know if he deserves to be back...I'd love to see him back though:D
Which RB? ZEBINA:p don't think they'd be interested though

    I saw the game against Manchester and I thought he played above average. he was amazing on passing and one of the comentators even mentioned something about seeing the old tacchinardi again and how it shows that he is a juve player

    3 million Euros for a bench player is too much obviously.While he's a bargain on a free transfer I really question the logic of getting Giannichedda in the first place. It's either one of the two IMO, not both.No doubt Capello asked for him.

    We need depth yes but 3 million Euros could get us backup in other areas where the squad is thinner.

    Zebina/Balza
    Tacchi will probably be the 4th player since Blasi would probably be switched or RB. If Zanetti is here, we would have to offload Gianni somewhere.

    Well if it's Inter u don't know what kind of deals they will agree. They even agree on selling Canna to us when we provide them cash + Carini. Same for Pirlo as well.

    Juventus are planning to sign Internazionale midfielder Cristiano Zanetti on a free transfer next summer.

    The Italian champions have been long-term admirers of Zanetti, with Juve coach Fabio Capello having worked with the player at Roma.

    Capello expressed an interest in the 28-year-old in the summer, with Juve prepared to offer players in exchange for Zanetti.

    The club's general manager Luciano Moggi did not pursue the matter vigorously, though, despite a meeting with Inter supremo Massimo Moratti.

    Juve felt the acquisition of Patrick Vieira from Arsenal lessened the necessity for another defensive-minded midfielder in the squad.

    But, with Zanetti out of contract at the end of the season, Juve have been tipped to swoop for the Italy international on a Bosman.

    Zanetti has yet to open talks with Inter regarding a new deal and there are suggestions that he has a strained relationship with coach Roberto Mancini.

    Reports in Italy claim Juve will offer Zanetti a bumper four-year contract to move to Stadio Delle Alpi next summer.

    I'd say C. Zanetti is better than both Blasi and Giannichedda in central midfield. It would be great to have the duo Vieira - Emerson and have C. Zanetti cover for them. Sell Giannichedda and replace him with Zanetti!

    how many defensive midfielders does capello fvcking want?
    i think we shud sell off nedved,ibra,del piero,trez.mutu,camoranesi and zalayeta and buy zanetti,dacourt,gravesen,gattuso,makelele,maniche and de rossi.

    that way capello will be able to fullfill his lifelong fanatasy of having 11 defensive players on the pitch.

    -----------------buffon--------------
    zebina----thuram----canna----zambrotta
    gattuso--viera---emerson----maniche
    ------gravesen----zanetti

    this wud probably his favourite lineup.he probably wont even mind playing a bunch of defensive midfielers as forwards.
    the guys LUSTS on defensive midfielders like madrid lust on attackers and chelsea lust on wingers.

    i mean..for CRYING OUT LOUDDD!!!!
    another motherfvking,non-creative midfielder!!
    this is fvcking INSANE!
