So Borriello and Pizzaro are signing for Juve tomorrow.

More solid squad players for them. Yet they are still missing that one BIG SIGNING to go along with this 4 star team.

Pizarro? IMO, he will be a quality back up for Pirlo.

Pizzaro and Pirlo in the same team?

They successfully have the 2 best creative deep-lying midfielders in the league.

Well done, Juve. Now SM84 won't know who to say is better Mwahahaha :D

They are raising their odds for the Scudetto with those signings. If Borriello hits for, and he showed at Milan he can in such 4-3-3, they become more dangerous. Pizarro I guess makes them less Pirlo depandant. Milan still should win it though. Could become a close finish between the two.

Borriello, i doubt he will be anything more than a back up, no way he plays over Matri or even Quagliarella. Pizarro is going to be a key player so if Pirlo gets injured, they aren't effed.

I think Gila can form a good partnership on the field with Palacio. Plus his first season at a new club is always at least acceptable. Not a bad transfer for Genoa.

Gila isnt that awful... he is better than what they have for sure. and I agree that him and Palacio should be good, he is better with a SS

You won't mind if Allegri goes to Inter?

The guy who just won our first title since 2004? The guy who has beaten Inter in his 3 games with a score of 6-1 overall?

Don't give him attention and don't try to explain to him... It's hopeless.

Whoa, did not expect them to sign Pizarro. He was to Roma what Pirlo was to us.

Now, I'm suddenly getting more excited at the thought of a Scudetto than a CL. It'll be a sexy race till the end. Like back in the days.

Felipe Melo closes Juve door
By Football Italia staff

Felipe Melo has made it clear that he would like his loan move from Juventus to Galatasaray to become permanent.

The Brazilian joined the Turkish giants during the summer after a temporary agreement was reached with the Old Lady.

“It’s practically impossible to see me wear the Bianconeri shirt again,” the 28-year-old is quoted as saying. “I don’t want to go back.

“I always did my best for the team, but the Juve fans criticised me and that was a difficult period to live through.

“I absolutely want to stay at Galatasaray,” he continued. “I love this club, the fans appreciate me and I am finally happy.

“Istanbul is a modern city and a beautiful place.”

The midfielder joined Juventus in the summer of 2009 after the club agreed to pay Fiorentina €25m for his services.

He moved to Galatasaray in July in a €1.5m loan deal. The Turkish club could keep him by paying a further €13m at the end of the season.

Felipe Melo’s contract in Turin expires in June 2014

Inter to dump Zarate?

Inter are reportedly ready to hand Mauro Zarate back to parent club Lazio – six months before his loan deal is set to expire.

The Argentine joined the Nerazzurri in the summer after falling out of favour with Biancocelesti boss Edy Reja.

However, the 24-year-old has struggled to impress at San Siro under firstly Gian Piero Gasperini and now Claudio Ranieri.

In 18 appearances across Serie A and the Champions League, the South American has netted just one goal this term.

Inter don’t seem prepared to buy him outright at the end of the season, hence the possibility of a swift return to Rome.

However, it remains to be seen whether Lazio would keep him or opt to again loan him – or sell – to another club. Fiorentina have been paired.

Inter are currently fifth in Serie A, four points behind fourth-placed Lazio.
