It’s Official!
By: roberto | May 30th, 2008
In what will be his first interview later this afternoon as a Bianconero, Amauri will officially announce his move to Juventus. Gald to have you big fella! More details to follow as they come in.
UPDATE
According to C4.com, the conditions of Lanzafame’s new deal have yet to be determined. Palermo sporting director Rino Foschi said, “the transfers for Amauri and Nocerino are complete, but we are still sorting out the details for David Lanzafame.” However, he went on to stress that all parties are happy with the deal and that things [Lanzafame] will be sorted out by July.
Amauri on Juventus:
“When I arrived in Italy eight years ago I had a dream – to play for a big team,” Amauri told journalists at his first press conference this afternoon. “Today I have realised that dream. I am happy and I want to win with Juve. It’s true that Milan were also interested, but Juventus were my first choice,” he said.
On the other end, Nocerino had this to say about his now former club:
“This is goodbye for me, I am going to Palermo and I am happy and proud with the choice because it is a big stage, an excellent squad and a great city. I will also be close to home, which makes me happy. I can’t wait to get started with my new shirt. I’m not stupid and I know that footballers come and go. It was an honour to wear the Juve shirt and I am leaving on good terms and without any bitterness. I enjoyed being in Turin, but now we have gone separate way.”
Palermo have a diamond in the rough on their hands, and let’s hope he does well in Sicily. Finally, I must admit despite all of the rumours, Nocerino, Amauri, and the Rosaneri, were pure class throughout this thing.
IERI… OGGI… DOMANI… SEMPRE JUVE!!!

sofia, you are a loser. Hopefully, for your sake, one day some guy will get drunk enough to take your virginity. maybe when amauri is leading serie a in goals for juve next year you’ll shut the fuck up.
obviously they need help in the back, but this move presented itself, so fucking take it. ship off nocerino? sounds like a no-brainer to me.

Amauri is a good player and he will valuable to us next season. As for Alonso, it seems that he wants to join Juventus instead of Madrid, he will be great in our midfield. Everyone say´s it but i will say it again we are desperate needing center and sidebacks.

mellberg signed on a bosman to join this summer, sofia, so yes. i dont know much about his quality, i do not believe he was signed to be in the starting XI though.
the #1 position for me to fix is left-back. legrottaglie, chiellini, andrade, and mellberg already play CB with grygera/zebina able to. at left-back we have molinaro. grosso would be the perfect pickup, with de ceglie a great substitute.

alonso would be a good pickup. i dont watch EPL, but from what my manUre buddy has told me and what ive read hes a good CM who can defend and is a good passer. if this is true, this is precisely who we want in midfield, thats what tiago was supposed to be.

alessio - ok well at least him being on the bench would be depth in the backline which we desperately need. Yes i agree, LB needs the most work, Molinaro needs to play in Serie C/D or not at all even.
i heard he isn’t bad either, so we’ll see what happens, but i mean poeple told me tiago was good, and then he stepped on the pitch….

also, lanzafame, is he going to palermo on a loan deal or are we SELLING him?? selling him would be stupid, a loan deal would be the smart choice on Juve’s part, but with Secco making those decisions…

best of luck nocerino. was not a big fan of this transfer.. wished the money was spent fixing the defence or midfield where it was really needed but welcome amauri cant do much about that now.
what i really fear now though is if palladino leaves. shit.

oh btw i met palladino in melbourne
probably the nicest of the lot - but the nicest of them all was il professore, he was brilliant.Posted from

Sofia, what do you think about Juve’s newly found desire for Mr. Cassano?
Posted from
United States -
We don’t need him but goddamn would I love to see him, albeit a bit saner, playing for Juventus.

Sally - that is sooo awesome! i wish i lived in melbourne so i could have seen the game live
KJ - I think that is the stupidest thing i have heard since i heard we signed amauri. hahahaha that would a waste of $$$$

We better start signing blanc has faith in molinaro next year “Cristian Molinaro and Paolo De Ceglie will be competing for the left-back place as they are two players who we have plenty of faith in” they shut the door on riise

They can say LB is fine all they want, but if they are moving for it we are ok.
And CalcioMercato says Juventus have made an official inquiry at Lyon about Grosso’s availability- http://www.calciomercato.com/index.php?c=7&a=83181

alessio - i told you our management were incapable….i really hope that Grosso rumour is true because if nto we are screwed
Posted from

Are they incapable if they announce they aren’t pursuing anyone while making the moves? Not at all. If we do go for Grosso, that’s very smart of us. How many times have we already gotten burned on announced targets this transfer season?

Zambrotta is a FKN WHORE.
Posted from
United States -
YES HE IS. I hope he gets bitchslapped by zebina.
but anyway - i think molinaro should leave. hes just not good enough for juventus.
Posted from
Australia -
dont be mad at zambrotta, he did alot of good things at juve. and i doubt that many players would welcome him back with open arms after “abondoning ship”. atleast he joined the better side of milano.
As for grosso i think that there is a very good chance he will join, but the management must work fast and get him before the euro’s otherwise his price could go up and out of juve’s reach.
Posted from
United States -
also remeber that zambrotta felt betrayed by the juve management because JUVE wanted to sell him, players like him, emerson, and cannavaro all wanted to stay but the management preffered to cash in on them.

Apparently Bayern Munich are eying Cristiano Zanetti as a midfield signing.
Good to see the man get respect, but no thanks. He said he wants to end his career with us (good mna) and I hope he does.

Grande Lippi!

Lippi: I Will Never Coach Milan
Marcello Lippi has closed the door shut on a possible move to Milan, and says that the only two teams he could ever coach in Italy are Juventus and the Azzurri.Anyone get the feeling he’s just waiting for Juve’s spot to open up?
Posted from
United States -
alessio - i truly hope Lippi comes back to Juve, if not as coach, at least as Sporting Director.
As for Grosso, we really need to act fast because his price tag will go up during euros but he said he wants to come back to italyPosted from

It would be nice if we could get Aquilani from Roma, but that looks very unlikely. So why doesnt our management go after Montolivo, I think he is the type of player that Juve needs. great tackling, powerful shots, and great passing and technical abilities. our midfield would be complete with him and hes a much better option than Xabi Alonso.

I read that Lazio are interested in Almiron and that we would use him to sign Stendardo. Why not give back Stendardo and use Almiron to get De Silvestri, this guy has a really bright future, both at club and Azzuri level.
