Sources in Italy claim Patrice Evra has already signed for Juventus and will say his goodbye to Manchester United by way of an open letter to supporters explaining his reasons for leaving Old Trafford.
The move has been expected to be completed for some time now and the full-back should make his move to Juventus for around €2m with a two-year contract worth approx €3.5m per season.
Sky Italia are reporting that Evra met with Juventus lawyers on Saturday in Los Angeles and signed the deal.
Guess we’ll have to make the best out of it then, welcome to the club Evra, please don’t suck 😛
I’m starting to see realise that we won’t be bringing in any top player (as usual).
So forza Evra! Forza Iturbe! Forza Morata! Please give us something for our money!!
But my hopes might drop again if we sell Vidal for peanuts (or Nani) to Manchester United….
My main disappointment is missing out on Alexis Sanchez. Besides the no top player, I’m looking forward to see Morata, Iturbe and Coman, hope the latter gets to play then. Same with Marrone back at Juve,I like that.
It’s not a total disaster, we get talent in the club, now pray they can make some magic happen. If Morata turns out to be good, we have a great and promising attacker in the club. If Real buy him back (30-35mill) we have a lot of funds for another top striker, not an 88mill Suarez but damn we should get something good for that.
Just hope to see Quags and Padoin leave too now. That would be an okay transfer market for me, not a major disappointment
we never sign a top player anymore .. its a fucking joke…
Evra? Really? Please.
30-35 million doesnt buy much anymore, especially when teams are setting the bar by paying 50 million euro’s for a shit bag like David Luiz ……….
Money is ruining football.
Ever since Ronaldo was transfered to Madrid for a record fee prices has gone wild
So true.
Don’t you think the sheik has thought of suicide when he saw Luiz on this world cup?
I’m not happy with it either. And no fan of Evra too, but he had a good WC so I just hope he can at least continue on that level.
Prices have gone crazy but if there is one thing Marotta can, it’s finding cheap players. Pirlo, Llorente, Vidal, Pogba, Tevez, those were great deals
88 mill for a player that might not even play in his natural position. I doubt that spoiled kid Messi will shift to the wings to accommodate to that k-9’s natural position. Seeing those price tags make me think that 25 mill is equivalent to what was 10 mill last year.
Seeing Sanchez go to Arsenal is bugging me as much as it did when Benatia went to Roma last year…
Were missing out on the good stuff for 5-10M differences.
And we get unproven gambles instead..
But I see your point. If we keep our core players this market haven’t been so bad
every summer they say they are going to spend and they don’t … they buy bits and pieces for money that if you add them up, they could buy that one true super star … but they lie to the fans, its all BS. What happened to Conte staying only if they sign big players to lead us to the CL? Evra is 33, wtf do we need him for?
If we’re going to be relying on Barzagli and Chiellini in CL, then we may as well just pack it in right now, these players are past their best and have been getting destroyed on the international scene for 2 years now … either in CL or in World Cup or Euro’s…
Conte focusing on Scudetto again, which has become the 5th tier of European football. Way to reach for the stars boyz, just tell your fans you don’t aspire for much of anything except beating teams like Genoa and Atalanta.. Have fun.
#losers.
Time for all of them to go – Marotta, Conte and everyone else…..
And please for the love of god, if you can get a few bucks for Marchisio, sell his ass out of here, the most underrated, most inconsistent player I have ever seen .. why this guy gets so much love is fucking beyond me … Is it the blonde hair and blue eyes? WTF? Same goes for Chiellini. Go now. Go home to go fuck up someone else’s defence.
“Why this guys gets so much love is beyond me”
Maybe because he isnt as bad as you think he is? When i play i emulate his style of play… it works out for me and ive been told that i take control of the midfield all while copying his style of play for the most part.
you’re comparing yourself in a rec league to the way marchisio plays?
Really?
When the hell does Marchisio ever control a mid field?
Well i assume im at the level at those in the rec leagues i play in, if you get what im trying to say…
When he was deployed in a more deeper position this last season, he did indeed take control of the midfield and even added more pace when we attacked and many times in 2012…
All i can reply to this comment is by saying “LAUGH MY FUCKING ASS OFF.”
All i can reply to this comment is by saying ”GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE.”
Poor ass dutch fag lmfao. You bet you hate your miserable life spending all your time on the net
Not really. Compared to most people who are always looking down on a mobile phone to a facebook screen 24/7 i spend less time on the internet than the average person. So yeah, my life is pretty fucking awesome. You’re just jealous.
You’re just an ignorant fag to talk to. I mean why am i wasting my seconds typing comment to a clueless and someone who cannot be realistic believe his own lies
I am pretty realistic if you ask me. That’s why i say the truth about Marchisio, something you cannot accept because you are blinded by hate for some reason.
Dont waste your time on him Dutch.
Nah, he was here in the past. I forgot all about him, but he couldn’t live without annoying me so he came back. I didn’t even remember we had a fight last time he was here, but apparently he did. I was probably the reason he left in the first place. Him, adp and apparently EriJuve too are funny people. They seem so loyal to being honest, yet when someone talks to them like i do they explode.
Yea i know, i remember him. Hes always the first person to explode and over use his caps lock when we draw. I dont remember anything positive that comes from his comments so i assume hes a troll.
Time for him to go – adp1974 and no one else…..
I feel some of that you’re saying.
I would like to see a new coach and directors with a vision instead of the cheapskate strategy.
But I’d like to keep Chiellini and Marchisio. They are still good players and Chiellini is still one of the best CB.
But Ogbonna and Barzagli needs to go soon.
For gods sake finally another realistic person in here. Everything said in here is 100%.
You should totally date adp1974 man. You two can live a happy hateful live together. If you two were on a dating site you’d be the number 1 match.
Lmfao!!!! Poor kid!!!!! You take marchisio serious ahahahhaha
Well yeah, he seems like a cool guy to talk to. You on the other hand, don’t.
Seriously though, i have pure hate for Juventus fans who talk like that about Marchisio. He has proven he can take Juve to a next level and given the trust he needs he can do great things.
Also why am i a poor kid? Be thankful i gave you dating advice. Adp is perfect for you!
No you donkey. he’s actually provded he can’t lead Juve to to the next level …
It’s probably your age as to the reasons for your reaction, telling people to fuck off because they dont like Marchisio truly shows your level of intelligence and maturity. Grow up or relax. And it’s true, are you even a Juve fan? Aren’t you the one who has like 6 favourite teams and 17 differnent players?
Marchisio is an abomination, awful, overrated, the golden boy, who’s done nothing in his career to make him so untouchable to criticism…
17 different players, yeah that’s me. I am a fan of Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio, Marchisio
you shouldnt hate on people who dont love the players you do, are you fuckin serious?
You’re like the gay fag marchisio police department around here .. Buddy please, it’s an open forum where people can say what they like, Marchisio is a bench warmer at best on a good team, and he’s played himself into the role as we can see that he is now second fiddle on Juve behind Pogba, Pirlo and Vidal ..
Send him to one of the provincial teams where he belongs … Lol, take Juve to the next level, how? By beating teams like Genoa and Catania? Let me see him actually do something in a meaningful game and that includes when he’s wearing a Nazionale jersey, because I’ve never seen him do anything great in that jersey either… Asshole.
Do something about your eyes before you watch Marchisio play again. You are right when you say he comes behind Pogba, Vidal and Pirlo, but we all know those 3 are world class midfielders. Doesn’t prove anything about Marchisio. His bad form lately has been due to lack of trust from Conte and that is understandable. I bet when we had our wonderful season in 2011/12 you weren’t watching because you only like negative things. Which is why you only come here in the offseason and right after a bad match.
Completely agree… we should have sold marchiso to ManU in a heartbeat when they offered some €35m
And fuck you too
Whoa why the hostility little dutch boy? Idk why your mad over my honest opinion..
You just had to use the word little, huh? Fuck you for talking like that about Marchisio. Scroll down a little and find out why i say this.
You’re not even a real juve fan… stfu. Go to an arsenal forum or smthg. Bet your ecstatic they bought sanchez eh?
Can we not do this…
This is a place to discuss, not a verbal battle ground. Dutch you did overreact. If he doesnt think much of Marchisio, whatever, let him, its his opinion; you have yours. Now can we put our big boy pants on and stop with this bull sh*t argument?
Thank you john, at least your being mature. Congrats on your soccer achievements btw
No prob… I think delle alpi annoyed Dutch a bit too much and when you came along, he was like ” im tired of this sh*t” and gave you a kinda messed response. I hope you and Dutch it behind each other. This place was meant for Juve and football discussions, not internet rivalries! :p
And thanks! But its still just a trial
”I think delle alpi annoyed Dutch a bit too much and when you came along, he was like ” im tired of this sh*t” and gave you a kinda messed response.”
Exactly. I could handle 1 adp, but then another shows up and then Eri tries to be like that too.. It really caught me off guard cuz i didn’t expect him to be like that.
Sorry, John. I don’t want to do this, but i just can’t ignore when they talk such bullshit. I have no problem with Eri at all, but i wouldn’t be sad if adp and DelleAlpi leave this forum for good. The thing that annoys me is when i try to have a normal discussion with adp, he talks bullshit back to me instead of having that normal discussion. When i talk bullshit to him, he says i can’t hold a normal discussion.
I’m not sad they bought Sanchez, but i would have prefered him with us. Your similarity to adp is showing, bro.
Fuck you …. Little fucking cunt.
Yes!
What Belgian said, nothing else we can do about it. Welcome Evra. Hoping you can show good things. Atleast he had a decent world cup and french players tend to work out at Juve. And he’ll be playing with Pogba, hopefully.
I think not selling Vidal and Pogba would be just as good as signing a new player
I agree about them being great but where are we gonna play Strootman? We have plenty of midfielders. We need players for the left side. LB especially and maybe LW too.
We seriously need a left back. Asamoah’s a good enough LW though IMO
Yeah i’m doubtful about Asamoah. One match he shows greatness, the other he does nothing. I’m worried about him when we play on the highest level but it’s not a must to replace him.
I would love Strootman. What a beast of a player
BREAKING NEWS: De Laurentiis has just lowered Higuain’s price tag from 300 million to free to get.
Juve preseason squad minus the players who were at the WC:
Juventus pre-season squad: Ahmed Gueye, Appelt, Audero,
Barlocco, Buenacasa, Buoy, Buchel, Coman, Donis, Fiorillo, Giovinco,
Liviero, Llorente, Marrone, Mattiello, Motta, Ogbonna, Padoin, Pepe,
Rubinho, Silvka, Sorensen, Spinazzola, Storari, Tevez, Varga, Vitale
Would like to see Appelt, Buoy, Coman and Marrone get some playing time this season, possibly even Sorensen if he stays.
Whoa… I dont even recognize more than quarter of that roster
WHatt!! theres a Vitale on the juve team. Yaaa he better make me proud
Lighten up guys… Morata and Iturbe aren’t washed up players. They have a future and they could turn out to be the greatest signings Marotta makes. Just wait for the season to start then judge them. As for Evra, I really doubt he’ll be the only left back we sign. I’m sure we’re going to get another one. I’m honestly very fine with the fact that we didn’t make a big money transfer because if we did and it failed we’d be devastated financially and Marotta won’t ever spend big. This is the way with less risk and so far it’s worked (we went from 7th placed to 1st place record).
Yea and a big name signing is not 45 mil anymorel… Theyre closer to 60 and higher. F*cking crazy.
Yeah lol football players are becoming way overpriced. Like, don’t look at it in a football perspective, Suarez cost 90m. 90 million fucking euros. Before this decade players were all between the 10-30m range. Now there have been two signings in the past 2 years that have almost or did reach 100m.
Its gonna be a clash of two egos. Idk why Barca even decided to buy him after that stupid incident in the WC. i hope he bites Messi. Football is becoming way too much about the money… i guess ffp is just some made up story
BARCELONA, Spain, December 8 (Reuters) — Suarez charged with assault on Messi in the Barcelona changing room after a dispute over who will play in the center. This comes 6 months after his bite on Italian defender, Giorgio Chiellini.
truly!
Haha Argentina.
They played great. I don’t understand why you would laugh at them.
They didn’t play great. It was cowardly football from them. If Germany had not won it would’ve been one of the biggest robberies in World Cup history.
I hate their players and I hate their coach. If Sabella had half a brain he would’ve called up Tevez. Come to think of it, all of Palacios missed chances and fails in this game wouldn’t have happened if Tevez was playing. Guess it’s karma for Sabella.
Oh and be honest, did Messi deserve the Golden Ball? Muller, Robben, Rodriguez, and Kroos all played better than Messi. And Messi didn’t even win the cup. I can’t believe they would give it to him.
How didn’t they play great…….. You’re now really talking nonsense just because you don’t like them. At times Germany was hopeless against them. At the start of the 1st half and at the start of the 2nd half it was Argentina attacking the whole time so i don’t see why it’s cowardly football. One of the biggest robberies in world cup history, right dude, the first line in your second bit of text explains your opinion.
I do agree about Tevez. If he had gotten those chances Palacio missed and even Higuain’s chance in the first half, Argentina would have won the world cup. And it wouldn’t have been undeserved AT ALL.
Messi winning the golden ball is bullshit. Corrupted FIFA is at it again. Had Holland won against Argentina he would still have won it. It was decided before the world cup that he’d win it.
Haha getting a few attacks in the first 10 mins of each half means nothing. Playing proper football for 20 minutes in a 120 minute match does not equate to deserving the World Cup. Every match they played after the groups (and even some n the groups) they struggled with. If Messi hadn’t scored in the last minute against Iran, it would have looked catastrophic for them. If Di Maria had missed that shot against Switzerland in the last few minutes of ET like he missed his 12 other shots (literally), who knows what would have happened in penalties. They also struggled against Belgium after scoring a goal and sat back to defend. Agains Holland it was even up until extra time when Holland deserved to score.
You see, all their games were complete bullshit. Scoring 7 goals in a 7 game tournament with only 2 goals in the stages after the groups is a joke. Like I said, it would be a crime for them to have won.
I’m not saying that those chances against Germany weren’t dangerous. They were but the way they got them (playing cowardly football) is what repulses me. It would have been like Chelsea in 2012 or Greece in 2004 but people actually support Argentina so it would’ve been covered up.
Germany against Algeria, could you tell me what happened there? Exactly. Algeria had big chances and could have won it in regular time. Germany eventually won it in extra time because Algeria had trouble playing so long.
Germany against Ghana, 2-2 with Ghana playing better football.
Now i never said Germany didn’t deserve it, i also never said Argentina got to the finals in a nice way. I just said Argentina played good football in the final and it sure as hell wasn’t cowardly. In the first part of the match Germany was outplayed and it was Argentina that got the chances to open the score. Against Germany’s offence Argentina defended solidly and that happened for the complete match. You might say stopping a strong offence with 1 or 2 more guys than normal is cowardly, but when Juve give away goals like that you’ll be the first to curse on here.
For most of the match it could go either way and while Germany might have connected better, it doesn’t mean Argentina didn’t play well.
Out of all the teams, Germany played the best. There’s no denying it.
Argentina played the worst alongside Brazil.
I hate Messi and FIFA sucks Messi’s dick. They shelter that guy more than any other player in the world. Who else can take steroids and get away with it? It must be just a coincidence that the only player ever allowed to take steroids just happens to be considered as one of the greatest ever…
Anybody else catch Vitaly’s pitch invasion today? That dude is an absolute legend 😀
Haha yeah. I missed it on TV though. What minute of the match was it on?
All sports networks missed it but I think LeBron, Dennis Roady, and maybe FouseyTube got it on camera. I’m not sure what min it was, probably within extra time.
The tv miss it on purpose. Pretty sad because my commentator who was in the stadium was telling what happened and what the guy was doing. It did sound kinda funny, good thing the guy’s friend filmed it.
Yeah it turned out the TV switched to the view of Rio when he ran in. That’s too bad. It would have made the game more interesting…
Pogba named Young Player of the Tournament for the WC. $$$$$ +10m.
Yup thats the first thing that came to my mind… Hes now worth at least 90 mill.
If only they got to the semis… That would be another 10m for us.
He will be over 100m in a couple seasons.
