    I'm surprised no one has mentioned Gigi Buffon yet.

    Bayern

    There's no way Juve would sell Buffon for 20m. The only reason Juve would even consider selling him would be if someone offered them enough to replace him and sign 1 or 2 good defenders.

    Juve with him and Giorgio Chiellini at the back would be very good defensively if they can get good right full.

    XXXX - Chiellini - Vidic - Grosso


    would be an impressive back four, provided XXXX is a quality RB.
    Grosso is absolutely dreadful, woeful, awful. I'd almost rather Molinaro!

    I'd say Juve would let Diego go if they got a good enough offer for him.He can't play in the Juve side and they cant seem to mould anything around him.They'll have to be prepared for a huge cash write off though I reckon

    I reckon they could sell him for a very similar amount to what they bought him for.

    No one can play in this Juve side. It's not his fault that the team around him is one of the worst Juve teams of all time. If we make sensible signings in the summer I think we'll see a much improved Diego next season.

    Sergio Aguero - Chelsea
    Franck Ribery - Barca
    David Villa - City
    David Silva - Liverpool
    Mario Balotelli - Arsenal
    Berbatov - Milan
    Benzema - United

    I don't think either Cesc or Lloris will move from their clubs this year.

    Villa, Mata, Silva, Banega; at least 2 of those will be off. Perhaps Mata to Inter

    You reckon they could get 24 mil for him!? I'd say they'd accept around 14-16 for him

    So you are saying that Torres who scored the winning goal for them in European championship final and made the World team of the year last year is number two behind Villa?

    Yes, Villa tends to be more dominant when the two play together!

    Yes.

    Juliano Beletti scored the goal to win the Champions League Final for Barca against Arsenal.

    That doesn't mean he was even close to first choice that year.


    Villa is Spain's #1 striker. Torres is a phneomenal player, but when playing 4-3-3 Villa is generally preferred by Del Bosque.

    I think the original point was
    Liverpool - transfer funds - champions league != Silva

    I see we have a pointless and unprovable argument on the brew. Awesome.

    Well re Liverpool we wont know till the sale goes through and that may take awhile. There was talk of Masch going to Barca and again chances are City may make a big bid for Torres.

    Be interesting to see how important Champions League football is to Liverpool's players!

    Both Torres and Gerrard on record as saying they want three to four quality players bought in the summer. If that doesnt happen they may walk.

    Daniel Agger will hopefully convince Kjaer that Liverpool is the right club for him.;)
    He's also a Liverpool fan :pac:

    Its not beyond us to be competitive again. We did before after Houllier left. But the board really needs to be ambitious in summer in terms of their signings.

    Both Masch and Torres have been linked with moves to Juve if Benitez goes there (which looks likely).

    What seems to be at issue is how much money Liverpool board are prepared to give Rafa in the summer
    Rafa Im sure would want to give title a proper go at the pool given right injection of funds. And really I dont see Gerrard and Torres going with him. Would be a lot for the Liverpool fans to take.

    Torres to Juve??? I'd be surprised if he went there to be honest!

    They're in a similar situation to Liverpool at the moment but are rumoured to have €80m to spend this summer. You never know.

    Posted this the other day which will give you an idea of where the various parties are in terms of value of club. Hicks wants to make a quick killing by the looks of it while Pool seem to be taking a more realistic look at things.

    Torres has responded a number of times to the speculation about him moving this summer and each time he has said that he has no interest in moving anywhere, plus he has been interviewed as saying he would only be interested in certain clubs in Spain if he were to leave Liverpool in the future
