Don't worry if Juve want him, they'll get him.

This would definitely be a great buy for Juve, but it's hugely unlikely : (

"Italian Serie A giants Juventus and AC Milan are both reportedly interested in signing Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor, according to the Tolgo international's agent.

Emmanual Adebayor, who on Saturday struck his 27th goal in 45 matches for the Gunners this season in all competitions, in reportedly in demand in Italy.

The African star, who has been short-listed for the PFA Player of the Year award, has impressed this season following the departure from Arsenal of goalscoring legend Thierry Henry.

And his agent claims that Milan, against whom Adebayor scored when the Rossoneri met, and lost to, the Gunners in over two legs in the Champions League, are interested in taking him to the San Siro. The agent also says Juventus are weighing up an approach for Adebayor in the summer.

Although Milan have been strongly linked with Chelsea striker Didier Drogba, Adebayor has outscored the Ivorian, who has managed eight league goals for the Blues in a season disrupted by injury concerns and the African Cup of Nations.

Adebayor is also, at 24, six years younger than Drogba, and his representative, Vincenzo Morabito, feels the Togo star is a more bankable asset than the Chelsea forward.

“Milan have looked at him and so have Juventus,” Morabito told the Italian media.

“He is a young player to sign and with respect to other attackers like Drogba, he has age on his side from the perspective of a longer career.

“He is a striker who has had a great season and is the right investment for the future.”

Despite Morabito pitch to the Serie A giants, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has stressed to his stars that leaving the Gunners would be counter-productive to their careers, even tough Arsenal have fallen short this season in both Premier League and Champions League in recent weeks.

Alexander Hleb has been strongly linked with the likes of Barcelona and Inter, while Mathieu Flamini has still not signed a new contract, and his current deal expires in June with Juventus monitoring evelopments and Arsenal insisting they will not be held to ransom by the Frenchman's wage demands.

However, Adebayor has repeatedly pledged his allegiance to Wenger and Arsenal, and has spoken of rising to the challenge for the Gunners next season."

Man Utd are the biggest team in Europe along with Barce and Real. Why would he leave Man Utd to play for a team who isn't even top of their league, plays in front of a fraction of the fans and is cash strapped?

There are plenty of reasons a player may want to leave a club.

Maybe we could just make death threats against him and then he'll stay, kind of like Gerrard Evra hasn't even gave a single hint that he wants to leave, he's in the middle of sorting out his new contract and he'll be at United for a while yet.



Alan Smith wasn't needed anymore and needed to be sold to make room for new arrivals. Rossi was sold because he was surplus to requirements and Fergie was looking at Tevez + a centre forward which eventually didn't come to fruition.

The key words there being "sold", they didn't leave.



Juve aren't in the top bracket anymore, you're obviously having delusions of grandure. Leaving United for Juventus is a major step down.

Juve is the most prestigious club in Italy and arguably in Europe. Right now they've finished gelling and you can tell how competitive they are. I'm sure they're gonna reach at least the semi-finals of the CL. We've finished gelling the team, now we just need a couple of high-status players (like D. Villa) and we'll be right back in it (winning the league and competing in CL). Believe me, no one says no to Juve, no one (no not even the referees!)

i have always liked Juve. i cant see them making the semi final of the CL next season though. they need to get a few world class players in before they have a chance in my eyes...would a player rather go to one of the milan clubs or Juve??

Well Juventus finished above AC this season but AC without doubt have a far superior squad.

How is that? Juve finished the season on high and have already earned a CL spot. In the 2 matches between Juve & Milan, they drew and the other was one by Juve. Milan depend solely on Pato & Kaka, if they're both in bad form they lose (they lost to a team like Atlanta, beaten 4-0 by Juve).

A quick look at AC Milan's best players

Dida/Kalac - 2 of very average keepers with lots of mistakes
Nesta - Great player
Maldini - Going to leave Milan after this season 100%
Cafu - Too old, doesn't play, and when he does, he doesn't perform too well.
Favalli - He is a ghost in the team :O
Oddo - Hasn't performed very well for AC Milan, pretty average too
Serginho - Old & Average
Pirlo - Turns on and off depending on his mood
Seedorf - Great consistent player
Emerson - The last time he was worth being called a champ was when he played for Juve, now he's sloww.
Gattuso - Another play worth mentioning - heart of a lion, feet of a fish (he's not as good as last season)
Kaka - Inconsisten form most of the season but back on track with a hat trick, royal player.
Gilardino - When was the last time he actually scored :O
Paloschi - One of Milan's better attacker, still a youngster
Pato - Best player for Milan, he's ratio is just about 1 goal every 2nd match, a copy of the old Ronaldo but better and perhaps injury free.

So who is superior to Juve?

Trezeguet
Del Piero
Buffon
Sissoko
Iaquinta
Nedved
Camoranesi

I think they're pretty superior to pretty much all the teams in the whole world (except for C. Ronaldo)

All of those Juventus players are either not that good or even older. The only two worth a damn are Trezeguet and Buffon. Juventus are just not what they were.

Seems like a Mafia threat to me

If you say no......you end up 'sleeping with the fishes'

Trezeguet - 30
Del Piero - 33
Iaquinta - 28
Sissoko - 23
Camoranesi - 31
Buffon - 30
Nedved - 35

The only one who is very old is Nedved, but he still plays better than 90% of the mifielders

Del Piero is even better than Trezeguet scoring 1 goal less than him and assisting many more times.

Camoranesi is one of the few good player Italy have

Finally Sissoko is the best mifielder in Serie A, just look on how he turned Juve's season upside down in 2008.

They are all worth a damn, believe me!

We wanted him, we got him



Blanc Confident Of Signing Flamini

Juventus managing director Jean-Claude Blanc says he is confident of pippin AC Milan to the signing of Matthieu Flamini, and reveals that the Arsenal midfielder was a supporter of the Bianconeri as a child.

It is looking increasingly likely that French star Flamini will be leaving the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season.

The 23-year-old, who is now regarded as one of Europe’s best defensive midfielders, has still to sign an extension to his Arsenal contract that runs out in June.

Gunners manager Arsene Wenger, who has given Flamini a deadline to sign up or leave, is now almost resigned to losing him.

Juventus and Milan are the two main teams tussling for his signature, but it is the former who are believed to be in pole position.

“We have the advantage,” said Blanc.

“As a child Flamini was a supporter of Juve. We have a sporting project in place, and we will be in the Champions League. Milan will not.”

Flamini, who has Italian ancestry, has stated on numerous occasions in the past that it is his intention to play in Serie A at some point of his career.

Yeah I said it cause he thinks Ferguson doesn't let players currently in the first team leave or sell them. They might not have been needed but still first team players and they were still sold.

Juve are going to keep their young stars

Giovinco, Marchisio, De Ceglie

Secco also confirmed that the on-loan Sebastiano Giovinco, Claudio Marchisio and Paolo De Ceglie would be returning to Juve next season.

There had been speculation that the transfer chief was trying to offload the trio to Palermo in exchange for Amauri.

”Giovinco, Marchisio and De Ceglie will return yes. Davide Lanzafame, who is on-loan at Bari is playing very well, but we will send him for experience at a team in Serie A,” he concluded.

What d'you think will be made of Chiellini this summer? He was strongly linked to England (Liverpool and Man City) last year.

I think it's pretty obvious that he is going to stay with Juventus. He starts almost every game and is doing well for his career, so unless he asks for a higher salary he is going to stay. Anyway's Juve look like they've set their eyes on Lahm (Bayern)

"Juventus have emerged as the latest big name club reportedly vying for the signature unsettled Bayern Munich defender Philipp Lahm

The news that Bayern withdrew their offer of a contract extension has created quite a feeding frenzy around the highly-rated 24-year-old full-back, who famously scored the opening goal of the World Cup in Germany against Costa Rica.

Barcelona, Manchester United and AC Milan have all been credited with an interest for the attack-minded defender, who is almost always deployed as left-back despite the fact that he is right-footed.

Bayern supremo Franz Beckenbauer has recently delcared that the exit of Philipp Lahm from the club is by no means definite, despite many signs pointing to the contrary. Lahm’s current Bayern contract runs until 30th June 2009, but has already stated in an interview with ‘Stern’ magazine that he wants to move abroad this summer."

If this moves happens then it's probably the best or 2nd best signing for Juve since Calciopoli!

I hope he moves to Juve. Teams from Spain and particularly Italy need to improve to liven the Champions League up - it's pretty dull having the semi-finals dominated by English teams.

If Juventus were to sign Lahm and then Flamini they'd be massive signings.

Looks like Lahm is going to either United or Barca and Flamini is set for a Milan move (4m per year salary)

Juve offer Iaquinta + Cash for Aquilani

"According to Tuttosport, Juventus are preparing an offer to Roma that will see Alberto Aquilani and Vincenzo Iaquinta swap clubs.

Iaquinta signed for Juve from Udinese last summer but he has had a frustrating season, playing second fiddle to the prolific David Trezeguet and Alessandro Del Piero.

The World Cup winner has started just nine Serie A games all term, and he is looking increasingly likely to leave at the end of the campaign.

In recent days he has been heavily linked with a move to Napoli, but it seems he would prefer to hook up with old Udinese boss Luciano Spalletti at Roma.

Spalletti is a huge admirer of the 28-year-old, and it is believed he may consider an offer from Juve which would see Aquilani move to Turin in return for cash plus Iaquinta.

Aquilani’s future in the Eternal City is in doubt as he has still yet to sign a proposed new contract, and there is still the cloud of a likely foreign takeover hanging over the club.

With the extra cash that Spalletti makes from the exchange, he would then use to buy a new left back.

This season Max Tonetto has been the only natural, senior option in the squad. Toulouse fullback Jeremy Mathieu has long been linked with a transfer to Rome. "
