Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 24, 2013 Jeez, can''t people read anymore? It''s 10 million EURO (that''s about £8.6m) that Juventus are looking for apparently . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted July 24, 2013 I think 10 million euros is the figure being banded about not £10m. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted July 24, 2013 IMO he is worth whatever we are willing to pay - if that is €10m or £10m then so be it.....though I clearly hope/expect the former! As we have seen, agreeing the fee might be the easier bit, though CH has done the groundwork so it might come off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Smith 2,317 Posted July 24, 2013 I can''t believe we''d be back in for him if at the talks last week it was not apparent that he would seriously consider coming. Because of that I have a feeling this one might happen. We just would not be bothering if he was not up for the move. He may also be up for other moves as well though!

Joanna Grey 0 Posted July 24, 2013 You don''t make sense Jim. We obviously think there is a good chance of him coming if we have reopened negotiations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alan_Grey 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Why does anyone give a damn what we pay? It''s not your money, you don''t know how much we have, and you can''t do anything about it. The track record of the current administration goes against any apocalyptic scenario that we might turn into a club who pays big money for over the hill "stars", so chill out and enjoy it.

Branston Pickle 3,657 Posted July 25, 2013 ....Michael Bailey (I know, on twitter, but he is a journo) was saying there might be an offer from Roma or a potential swap deal with Lazio on the cards - but you would imagine we''d not be keeping this one live if we didn''t think it might be a goer.

And it follows that I don''t believe we have now offered more than €10m. We are not going to pay more for a talented 30-year-old who had never played outside his native country than we have for a talented 24-year-old who has shown he can settle abroad.

ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Seeing as Italian journalists are saying we made an improved bid (over 10m euros) the other dayI very much think this deal is still on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no way Norwich have bid over 10m euros for a player who clearly isn''t wanted at Juve and cost 10m euros a couple of years ago. Like Italian television someone is trying to ''sex up'' the bid. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Parma Ham's gone mouldy 2,220 Posted July 25, 2013 It has been made clear to Quagliarella that he is now fifth choice and should leave. Juve are relatively ruthless like this and it is a well trodden path understood by all parties. The manager Conte has confirmed it to Quagliarella. This makes a difference. Norwich''s new offer coincides with this development (unlikely to be accidental, tip off probable, Norwich "in the game" with Juve Directors - good sign) and Quagliarella is now personally warmer to the idea of Norwich (idol ststus feels better than rejection). The money is good, his agent is happy and no other major italian clubs will pay what Norwich are offering. Please bear in mind that he must leave Juve who are highly prestigious and win trophies. To those concerned with fee, We must use what we have, money, persuasion, idol status, guaranteed starting place (whatever is said in public) and we need to "buy out" the competition to compensate for any lack of perceived status.

ReadingCanary 0 Posted July 25, 2013 Quagliarella is traveling with Juventus to USA on their Pre Season thingy Dunno what that means.Can''t see Deal being done any time soon though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smooth 114 Posted July 25, 2013 Think this is the player that we need to really set us alight, rvw is to be that star striker, fer midfield dynamo and fabio can be that link. we need players in our team that teams will highlight as fearful players rvw is, no other striker is yet, wingers need to step up throughout the season. Fabio can lift us to have another player of very high quality... Again I worry about rvw becoming injured, because we struggled so much last year... We need other star players who can share the load, make each other better and the lesser players better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rolf Harris 31 Posted July 26, 2013 Does the club want to spend 8million quid on a players or get another on loan and just pay the wages. Can see Udinese just wanting to get him in the shop window. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
