Juve and Lazio on Blaszczykowski

Juventus are shopping at Euro 2012 and entering a bidding war with Lazio over Polish international Jakub Blaszczykowski.

The Borussia Dortmund midfielder impressed during the hosts’ brief European Championship campaign and was viewed from the stands by Coach Antonio Conte.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Juve are keeping a close eye on Blaszczykowski and are lining up a proposal.

However, they face stern competition from Lazio, who reportedly got into negotiations earlier in the summer.

He can play wide right in a 4-3-3 trident and if Blaszczykowski were to arrive, it’s believed Simone Pepe could leave Turin.

Juve and Lazio aren’t the only ones interested in Blaszczykowski, as he is also tracked by Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham.

I'm pretty sure this is just a rumor due to the fact that we're overloaded with wing-backs at the moment.

Krasic and Elia are leaving and Esti will not be kept.
Blaszczykowski plays on the right as i recall.

in a 3-5-2 we are covered with Isla and Licht(and even Caceres)...but in a 4-3-3 only Pepe remains to play that side. oh...and Giacc.
even though i like him and he is a perfect player for Conte standards, i also think he would be a surplus.

kuba aint no wing back. he plays in pepe's position in the 4-3-3 and quite frankly he is better than pepe. we have no one else than pepe for that RWF. u can play isla there but no i wouldnt do that. we cant get a quality rwf so a decent one in kuba would be ok in my book.

I saw this report also, saying Conte likes him...

I know that, but the best position he can play in a 3-5-2 is as a wing-back, and even that doesn't fit him completely. Either way, I don't see him coming at all.

of course he aint comin....i only believe it until they wear the high tech faggy vests...and he isnt a wingback..he's aggressive and has good hustle and he's a RW/RWF..he alternates with gotze most of the times..
