Liverpool boss plans double Juventus swoop

08:17 6/12/2006

Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is watching developments at Juventus carefully.

The Serie A champions are currently at the centre of an alleged match-fixing scandal in Italy, which could well result in their relegation to Serie B if they are found guilty.

If this is the case the majority of their stars are widely expected to leave the club, and Benitez has set his sights on two of their big-name players.

French international David Trezeguet could be an addition to the Anfield squad as the Reds look for another striker to bolster their ranks following the departure of Fernando Morientes.

And reports in Italy suggest the Spaniard has also set his sights on midfielder Mauro German Camoranesi, who has also been linked with a move to Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Taken from Fans.com, I just wonder if the 'Fan 'in .com stands for Fantasy

No direct quote from anyone but ah..... what the heck its silly season.

I wouldnt mind Trezeguet at all, hes a top quality player. He has decent pace and is good in the air so would be ideal and is still only 29 so wouldnt be too old(seems to have been around for ages)I would expect he would cost about £10-12million but if Juventus do get relegated perhaps £7-8million? At least the rumours seem to be getting better

is there a realistic cace ov juve goin down, ?

by **HacksawJimDuggin** » Sat Jun 17, 2006 12:49 pm

It is very realistic that they will be relegated. The allegations against them are very serious and appear to have some truth in them. If so then I think the Italian FA, Uefa, Fifa etc will make an example of them and relegate them.

I would take Trezeguet and Camaronezi like a shot. Both proven internationals and both with Champions League experience. The kind of players we should be goin for.

Spoke to an Italian today and he thinks the Italian FA have the history and mentality, so that once they find a scrap of proof on this match fixing they will give Juventus the harshest penalty (relegation).

Disagree [email=s@int....]s@int....[/email] the lad's over-rated IMO.

Plus he's choked on the big stage every time I've seen him play. And to me he doesn't play with hard and is frequently perceived to give less than 100% on the pitch. Play's for self more than the team.

If it's a frenchie we're after, I feel that Saha is much2 better.
If it must be from Juventus, I think we should get Zambrotta as we need to fill the LB position with better quality.

:grinning:

Frenchie

I don't care what country a player comes from aslong as he can play the way Lfc want and need him to play.

F@ck me Bellamy and evey other tom dick and frank we been linked to doesn't fill me with great hope but i hope i am proved wrong and we get in a top class striker.

Why not, were as good as any team in Europe!!

I think there is a REAL possibility of Juve goin' down from the miniscule bits of info i've heard on this story. I think somebody on here (can't remember who and where) posted the transcripts of phone calls between Juve officials and some Refereeing official or something. If believed and going on what the Italian FA have done in the past I could see them throwing the book at Juve for making a laughing stock of the italian game and ruining the credibility of their game being one of the best known teams in the world. However if they are anything like Real Madrid in spain who have got their FA wrapped round their little finger then they'll probably get a little fine probably suspended as well. :no

As for the trezeguet rumours I think he'd be a good buy but he won't be easy to get a hold of 'cos if they do go down every man and his dog will be circling like vultures to cherry pick the best assets from their squad.

I've not heard this view on him meself and on Eurosport the other week they were saying something about the french press and fans thinking that the french team would be better with him up front with somebody other than Henry as HEnry has a very poor record for the french team compared to his Arseholenal record. Maybe i've got the wrong end of the stick but we'll just have to go on waiting to see what Rafa pulls out of his cap at the end of the world cup cos i think that's when we'll start to see some real movement on the transfer front.

Signing David Trezeguet is not a good idea. I'm sure if we are willing to pay at the price, we can have plenty more options than him. I even rate Anelka a better player than Trezeguet as he is even worse than Henry in Big games. He just disappeared. I prefer to keep Cisse if we sign Trezeguet....

Do you know in another thread I was suggesting we needed to get some quality strikers when I suggested people like Inzaghi (not necessarily him) I was shot down. At the moment everyone seems to be talking about Juventus but AC Milan, Fiorentina and I think Lazio are also implicated. If that is the case I think someone like Kaka would be a good addition to the squad. He is not a striker but he would be an excellent replacement for Kewell. Fiorentina have Luca Toni (Although I thought he was average in the world cup) Gilardino and Inzaghi I think may change thier minds about staying with the club since the latter is at the end of his career and the former is supposed to be the hottest italian sensation I doubt he would like playing in serie C. I think Dida would also be a good keeper but I like Pepe Reina and whilst Dida is excellent at stopping penalties he has some Grobbelar moments though they are few and far between. I read somewhere Man Utd where after Andrea Pirlo but I think between Gerrard and Xabi we have the Midfield covered anyway so I don't think we would necessarily need to bring in Gattuso if he was available. Still I have a feeling Rafa might take a look at some Lazio players possibly bring them to LFC. They are not as high profile as Juve and he could even get some decent bargains.

Raiden Warr:

Kaka, CANNOT replace Kewell because they play in very different positions.

Though if you were talking about possible players from Milan, Gilardino would definately be up there in my list.
