Gone in 24 hours

Alex looks set to complete his move to Juventus ahead of transfer deadline day which is tomorrow evening.
The Brazil centre-back is desperate to leave west London as he is no longer in Andre Villas-Boas's long-term plans and sees a move to Italy as a surefire way to restart his international career.

Alex has played 111 games for the Blues following his signing in 2007 after a loan spell in Holland with PSV.
He scored 10 goals for the Blues - many long-range bullet free-kicks.

But the signing on international team mate David Luiz effectively has ended his SW6 career.

Yeah Baby, That's what I'm talking About !!!

Horrible move, I'd rather keep Bonucci. Rodolfho, Astori, Juan, Lucio or Lugano were the better options ffs

@ Sciacca, Alex is a solid defender,

he would be a solid purchase if u ask me....

Experience wise... No... Skill... Typical... I thought this CB was suppost to be Top.

for me Alex is WC cb

Pepe- €9M
Amauri- €5M

That's €14M, disregarding minor numbers from the sales of Grygera etc

€14M can enable us to take a better defender than Alex IMO.

Amauri is getting sold to which club ?

And Pepe to Zenit official ?

He's good, nothing great though...

All good points.
I agree with Sciacca that there were better options but I disagree about Alex's ability, he is a good player. There were just more attractive CBs around.

Astori is younger and Italian which is only a plus because he will have no problems communicating with the backline.
Rhodolfo is younger and looks like the real deal.
Lugano is on fine form he just led Uruguay to the CA.

No i'm talking about in principle

Zenit offered €9M, Marseille €5M for Amauri.

You add a few Mil for Yakinta....We could take a (more) serious player. A last day market suprise maybe?

I completely agree. SKY still clamis were linked with Astori and Gastandello as well .

I think Alex is a good central defender & would be a real good buy for Juve.
Look at the stats:
Last season:
CHELSEA CONCEDED: 33 GOALS
JUVENTUS CONCEDED: 47 GOALS
knowing that English League is a much faster paced game of football, he will do well in Serie A.
*NOT SAYING ALEX WAS THE ONLY REASON THEY CONCEDED THAT AMOUNT GOALS, BUT HE HELPED*

It's offical, Alex is not coming

For the last transfer day, can any new defender come here to pass the medical?
