According to reports by the Director of Football Grand Prix, Giancarlo Padovan, during the "Kick Special - direct line" of Sportitalia, Dutch dell'Amburgo the outside, "Eljero Elia is already in Turin. May go back as Kjaer, but I do not think" . The player then in the next few hours could become a Juventus player.

If true that is pretty insane.

If Rhodolfo and Elia come that has to end Juventus' market for buying.
Now we can see who moves in the other direction, hopefully no surprises (Bonucci, Ziegler, Pasquato).

link please, and anyone has a better source to this?

Didn't he just say like a couple weeks ago that Hamburg was on the same level as Juve so there would be no point in switching?

Yes there was a report of him saying that. Then he came out on Twitter saying that the German press are lying about what was said.

i dont understand at all we already have more than 30 players in the squad.how many more we need?

if this happens i can understand what we already agreed of selling pepe and maybe loan out pasquato

giacherini will be cover for krasic
and estigarribia will be cover for elia

and we will play 4-2-4(4-4-2 with attacking wings)

great , hope its true

I will go nuts if Elia joins juve! Buy his name on my jersey

We have a plethora of wingers now..Krasic,Pepe,Pasqauto,Giaccherini,Estigarribia and now we can perhaps add Elia to the list..

Guess someone would be sold..I am hoping its Pepe..He's been on Zenit's radar for quite a while now and if an enticing offer comes in Juventus should give it a serious thought honestly..

Not sure if any will leave. Conte said he loves plenty of wingers. Remember Martinez and Lanzafame have already left.

Well yes i am aware of that aspect..Wasnt the Giaccherini transfer a cash deal only ?I am not sure about it..

I am not sure if Conte has given a thought of having Pasquato as a backup for the second striker role because he is capable of excelling in that role too..So he should be a must in the squad in my opinion..

If Elia arrives Krasic and Elia would be the confirmed starters in the eleven..And Estigarribia,Giaccherini and Pasquato as backups and they are more than sufficient i must say..

So that leaves Pepe out of the equation unless Conte is pondering the idea of keeping him as a backup midfielder or even a Backup fullback perhaps..Certainly not a wing option for me..

As it is the purchases for the left wing make perfect sense to me, were Elia bought then I have no idea of what they are trying to achieve.

U could b right about pasquato. It's difficult about pepe cause we havnt seen him much this ore season

pasquale22 wrote:U could b right about pasquato. It's difficult about pepe cause we havnt seen him much this ore season

Yeah good observation..I havent seen him at all atleast during the 'high-profile' pre-season games even in his usual sub-role so perhaps a sale is imminent or atleast i'm hoping

But with two days to go its difficult to tell though..

Yes he would make a good squad player i know..But especially with Elia supposedly arriving i just dont see him being a viable sub option especially considering we have better talent on the bench now but like i said in my previous post he can perhaps be used to cover other positions too..

I am not desperate for Pepe being sold or anything..I read a report saying Zenit are ready to offer 10m..Hell i would accept it anyday.. Thus making profit too..

But if the offer is not coming i'm ok with him being in the squad and could prove useful considering we have a dubious injury record..

Knowing that Juve has no european competition this season, if Juve bring in Elia and another CB, Conte should have a good squad to choose when he switch between 4-2-4, 4-4-2 and 4-3-3. The only thing is to gel them together.
