Gigi Buffon

[teis]

You'd rather have Amelia(who is very good) than the best keeper in the world?

The best keeper in the world? That's all relative.

Do you want Ronaldinho because everybody thinks he's the best player in the world? Did Rivaldo do much for us when he came while he was the best player in the world at that time.

I'd prefer Amelia. And that's final


And btw, we don't need another GK, we've got Dida. We need a backup, or at least get rid of Kalac so Storari becomes our nr.2 GK

Do you want Ronaldinho because everybody thinks he's the best player in the world? Did Rivaldo do much for us when he came while he was the best player in the world at that time.

Well, i wasnt exaclty chuffed when we got Rivaldo(nor was i ever a big fan of the guy) and i certainly won't lose any sleep if we don't get Dinho, so there's your answer Even though Dinho is extremely gifted, considering the squad we have at the moment, i'd much rather have De Rossi/Essien/Diarra, since IMO they would benefit our team more.

However, the goalie issue is another thing. You don't need to consider how you would incorporate a goalie into your team's tactics and whether he could gel with the rest of the team, like you need to do with outfield players. Therefore, anyone better than Dida would be an improvement. I don't really mind Dida but ASSUMING we wanted a goalie, then for me Buffon is the best in the business. Nevertheless, if he'd cost 70 million or something and we could have got Amelia or Akinfeev for 15-20 and use the rest to improve the team then of course i'd prefer the second option. But as a direct player to player comparison, Buffon>Amelia, IMO.

Buffon sparks Milan derby

Both Milan clubs are in a race to sign Juventus and Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, according to reports in Italy.

The Bianconeri have valued Buffon at £28m, a price Nerazzurri chief Massimo Moratti is allegedly ready to pay by possibly including Julio Cesar in the deal.

Milan are keen on signing the World Cup winner too, despite recently extending the contract of Nelson Dida.

The Via Turati club are also said to be monitoring the form of River Plate No 1 Juan Pablo Carrizo as an alternative to Dida or Buffon.

Milan chief talks tactics

The media mogul also dismissed fresh newspaper rumours that Milan are lining up a summer bid for Juventus ‘keeper Gigi Buffon.

“We have just renewed the contract of our Brazilian goalkeeper Nelson Dida and we believe in him,” he underlined.

“Therefore we do not need Buffon, who obviously I respect and whom I consider a great player.”

Well, I don't think that B+G will come out and say we want Buffon until season is over. Just imagine what this would do with the self-confidence etc. of Dida.
I guess we have to wait until the season is over, to get some "real" statements.

 

[Beemer]

"Andrà al Milan - le parole di Moggi a Radio Kiss Kiss - e non all'Inter. Dida andrà all'estero mentre a Torino in cambio di Buffon arriverà Abbiati".

Fuck you, Moggi. Go back to the sewer where you came from.

^Since when Moggi is speaking for Milan transfer tactics ? What a loser.

Juve set Buffon price

Juventus sporting director Alessio Secco has insisted that Gigi Buffon will not leave Turin for less than £50m.

“Granted that Juventus do not intend to put Buffon on the market, the £28m I have read about would only be enough for a co-ownership,” said Secco to Sky on Wednesday.

“Buffon is a target for many teams, not only Roberto Mancini’s side, but £28m would never be enough.

“You want me to promise that he will not leave? I don’t make promises, it’s not in my nature,” concluded Secco.

Former director general Luciano Moggi declared on Tuesday that he was sure Buffon would move to Milan as Rossoneri goalkeeper Nelson Dida was set to move to a foreign club.

However, the Brazilian custodian did recently agree a new £2.8m per year at the San Siro, despite some high-profile errors this term

Buffon to join Milan?
Thursday 26 April, 2007
Reports in Italy suggest that Juventus goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon will join Milan in the summer, with Christian Abbiati heading the other way.

The world champion has kept his promise of helping the club return to Serie A after last summer’s Calciopoli demotion, but is now ready to move on to pastures new.

According to Il Corriere dello Sport, Buffon has finalised a pact with the Old Lady and has agreed to turn down any offer from Inter, in order to avoid problems with the supporters.

Buffon’s likely destination therefore becomes Milan, who are reportedly ready to offer Juventus £25m plus Christian Abbiati, who is currently on loan with Torino.

Sporting director Alessio Secco reiterated on Wednesday that Buffon is not for sale, but refused to make any promises, fuelling speculation that a summer move is indeed on the cards.

In the meantime, the Bianconeri are looking for possible alternatives and have eyed Celtic goalkeeper Artur Boruc.

The Polish No 1, who was also linked with a move to Milan, is contracted to the Bhoys until 2009. He impressed this term with some stunning displays in the Champions League.

moggi said this thing will happen..

buffon to milan abbiati to juventus..
and dida back to brazil or go somewhere else

 

[acerвιc wιт]

Moggi also said he has nothing to do with the Calciopoli Scandal and that he and Juventus was innocent.

 

[Beemer]

I love how Buffon is afraid of pissing off the fans by going to Inter. What a hoot.

 

[radioactivenerd]

^^^is that sarcasm? I think its pretty cool that he takes his fans opinion into account.

 

[Beemer]

But at the same time, would they really want him to go to one of Juve's biggest rivals (Milan)?

 

[menon_inc]

Maybe not but they had Inter more because they benefited most out of the scandal+stole some of their star players+probably sick of the fellowship of honesty.

 

[crazymilangirl]

ok..the smartest people of the forum are commenting here

are you telling me that theres a chance we might get buffon? i had completely given up on him because dida signed an extension...if we get buffon, what happens to dida? theres no way either one of them would like to be no. 2

Buffon isn't leaving Italy, Buffon isn't coming to Milan nor Inter. Gigi is staying at Juve. End of Story. But feel free to speculate all you guys want (same thing for the Ronaldinho rumour).

Base on what assumption, do you think Buffon will stay in Juve?

based on what?....do you know what is in Ronaldinho's and Gigi's mind?....thought not...untill the start of next season its not the end of the story cos anything can happen.

End of story.

Logic and his willingness to stay with them after they got relegated.

Same old story, different name. Now it's Inter's turn on the contract carousel. I like the third paragraph; pretty soon Gigi's new nickname will be "The Happy Homewrecker."

I consigli di Tacconi: «Buffon, solo alla Juve vincerai la Champions»

Che farà, Gigi? «Per me, resta a Torino. Dice di voler vincere la Champions e il posto più sicuro è proprio alla Juve. Ragioniamo: il Milan la vincerà quest'anno e poi per 3 o 4 anni non se ne parla. L'Inter non la vincerà mai perché è sfigata. Tra due stagioni la Juve può farcela».

Sicuro che il Milan batterà il Liverpool? «Sicurissimo. E rovinerà la festa all'Inter».

http://www.goal.com/it/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=301176

Tacconi (ex-Juve GK) says that Buffon will be convinced to stay in Juve because after Milan wins the CL this season... we will be unable to do so for another 3 or 4 years... and that Inter will never win it... and Juve will be able to win it within 2 seasons...

when asked if he was sure Milan will beat Liverpool... he said he was very sure... and that victory will ruin Inter's celebrations...

Buffon sets transfer deadline Saturday 12 May, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gianluigi Buffon says he will clarify his future “in the next week or two,” but also warned Juventus cannot expect to be competitive for a few years.

Today’s 3-1 victory over Bologna means that the Bianconeri could be celebrating their promotion if Genoa fail to beat Triestina and Napoli lose at Brescia on Tuesday. But will the goalkeeper stay with the club into Serie A?


“Before clarifying anything I have to meet with the directors. So I think that in a week or two we will know something a little more concrete, more certain,” he told Sky Italia television.


“If we should decide to part ways and Juve put me on the market, then at that point we would evaluate the offers that come in.”


The World Cup winner was one of several stars who accepted a year in Serie B to help revive the side post-Calciopoli, but their loyalty only stretches so far.


“We are not living in a dream world where in the space of one season you can create a competitive squad. This is more than just normal, it is obvious. We have to understand just how long it will take to be competitive.”


With Inter running away with the Scudetto and the others looking to strengthen on the transfer market, Buffon’s view is bleak.


“Looking at what is around and how much the great champions cost, it looks tough to me. We’ll need four, maybe even five, years to compete with the big squads that are there now. It is true that the club’s resources could be improved if we open up different scenarios, we shall see.”


The ‘different scenarios’ would be the sale of some of Juve’s current stars, including David Trezeguet, Mauro Camoranesi and Buffon.

If someone can not see that he leaves us in the end of the season then he is blind...

A "few years" until they're back in Europe? It's not like Juventus is now a skeleton crew, right? And if Buffon does leave, who will pick up his huge salary?

Good. So that's what Buffon was publicly jerking Juve's chains about all this time. Gee whiz.

Next thing you know, Galliani will announce that we're still interested in him.

I can imagine how happy u r BMW

Btw spurs are lucky this time coz they don't play against Detroit in the finals

 

[acerвιc wιт]

That's the reason why I admire Buffon. The bloke has principles. Though in saying that, I'm positive, if Dida didn't re-sign with us we would've definately purchased Buffon.
