afc Melo potentially on verge of joining JUVENTUS

[Guest Medic]

Fiorentina would rather Melo come to us over Juve any day, so long as the buyout clause isnt matched.

[The King]

If Melo can bulk up a bit he could turn out amazing.

[Shatterstar]

Hmmm Goal.com saying he's signed for Juve.

Yeah a few site reporting this. sounds like bollox tho. This is beginning to remind me of the whole Nasri/Arshavin transfer.I really doubt this will happen.

[Guest Tulse Hill]

I refuse to believe Fiorentina will do a deal with Juve because they haven't in years!Juve have been after;FreyFioreNakataAdrianoJiminezBatistutaRui CostaEffenbergLuca ToniToldoChiesaAnd failed to get all of them, the only notable piece of business done between the two clubs was in 1999 after Fiorentina went bankrupt they brought 32 year old Angelo Di Livio you must remember him the small winger?

[BATTY BOY BUM BANDIT]

Di Livio was sick, used to wear Asics boots if I remember correctly.

Mutu?

[Michel Kane]

See, if this Melo > Juventus story is true, the thing that irks me is that the Fiorentina chief said merely 2 days ago, that he & Arsene would talk sometime this week about the deal...Now, 2 days later, he sells the player off to Juventus without having the agreed sit-down?

Juventus' bid to sign Fiorentina midfielder Felipe Melo could be in jeopardy after the Viola failed to agree terms with Marco Marchionni.Brazil international Melo's switch to Juve appeared imminent after reports claimed they had beaten Arsenal to his signature.It is suggested Juve struck an agreement of cash plus right winger Marchionni in order to meet Melo's buy-out clause of £21.6million.However, Marchionni's agent, Bruno Carpeggiani, has revealed that Fiorentina would not meet the player's wage demands."Unfortunately, nothing will be done," Carpeggiani told Gazzetta.it."We only asked for €200,000 (£173,000) more than the amount Marco earns at Juventus, but Fiorentina wouldn't agree. It's a pity."

Wenger probably thinks Denilson & Song are better.

[MEIRELES.]

Reyes cost 10.5m initially, rising to 17m, however when he left we had paid Sevilla, just over 12.5m.Arshavin cost 12m initially, rising to 15m based on appearances.Tulse your knowledge is disappointing, but hey your say anything to try prove a point.

aksllalallsaklklasdlsew'[g];ewgonce again, pmsl @ getting into beef with tulse/You aint getting Melo. Song and Diaby ftw.

[MrJibbles]

As per normal we miss out on someone and expect "we was this close"Gone!

[Guest Medic]

We will hear that when he does very well, should he not live up to expectations wont hear a peep. So frustrating we're missing out on your initial targets, having to move onto 2nd rate players.

[MEIRELES.]

Swear Wenger does this on purposeTargets top players and then claims that he wanted to sign them once they become class wanting sympathy.. To go along with that, he does not want to risk buying world class players cos if they flop he will be blamed for it... Whereas if he signs youngers he guarantees himself more time at his job to "improve them" and the board fall for his dirty tricks.. thats why hes lasted so long without winning f*ck all.He's living off that unbeaten run as well. Holding arsenal back differently imoSack him. f*ck*ng voyeur.

[TF S4DK]

Lol at people thinking Wenger missed out on him.Arsenal missed out on him.Its obvious Wenger identified him as his target, the board entered negotiations took too long or felt they could force the deal at their price, so Fiorentina protected themselves with the release clause, went public, & made it a open market. I struggle to see where exactly thats Wenger's fault...

[Guest Tulse Hill]

Lol at people thinking Wenger missed out on him.Arsenal missed out on him.

Did he tell you this in the club over some don perrion

[anelka]

Did any1 seriously think Wenger was gna sign this dude for 25m euros or 21m + EboueWenger wud neva get ripped off like that, as I previously stated Wenger wudnt go shopping in Italy, spend ova 20m and come back with Melo.. lol no way

[n/a]

smhwhy do people still think the amount of money spent on a ploayer is entirely down to wengerlook at inhler last yearor arshavin in januarywenger identifies players then the board umm and ahhh and try nd get him at less than market rate

[anelka]

Wenger is a shrewd man, he wud have had 2be on hard drugs 4 him to go to Italy and spend 20m+ on a 26 yr old who was priced at 12m two weeks priorLOL 25m for Melo smh n again smh @ thinkn Wenger wud even consider that silly price

[n/a]

wether hes overpriced i aint arguing cos i aint even sen him playbut wenger identified him and wanted him20m is the bottom rate for a top midfielder in this market and thats what we wantlook what gazidis said last week about the boards policy of not buying in inflated marketsand developing young players instead
