Topic: Juve will not pay Aquilani asking price

[Dick Emery]

This is what Juve wanted hence playing this through the media.

It doesn't matter what Juve say through the media or otherwise if there were other clubs willing to pay the price. Instead they apper to be trying to drive the price down in the knowledge that nobody else is willing to meet the asking price.

The conclusion has to be we paid £20 million for an injured player who now isn't worth 16 million euros when fit.

Nah I just think as I have said before if a value is placed on something nearly a year ago and the main buyer refuses to pay that agreed fee and wants it lowered they're not many going to come in and pay that agreed fee.

Juve are playing a clever game here.

If Gareth Bale was on loan at Spurs and they refused to pay the price, there'd be a queue round the block to buy him. In the same way, if Aquilani was worth the price then someone would buy him. The game Juventus are playing is that they know he's not worth it and everyone else agrees.

Well there's one club that may think he's worth €16m to them, and that's LFC if they hang on to him. There's not a queue for Reina at £20m, does not mean he is not worth it or more to LFC.

Also what is the point for any other club to show an interest at this point? If they are interested they will make it known when they know what price Juve will or will not buy him at.

The problem is not many big Italian clubs seems to be in need of a CM not that the issue he is worth that much . So unless Milan shows any interest Juve will have upeerhand in negotiations . Obviously if Kenny wants to keep him it will be a different situation .

[careful on these streets, I've heard stories]

The agent of on-loan Juventus midfielder Alberto Aquilani has urged Liverpool to drop their asking price.

The Bianconeri have been haggling over the €16m fee after taking the player on loan for this season and the deadline is looming.

“Juve want to sign Aquilani on a permanent basis, but they also want a discount from Liverpool on a price-tag that is effectively a little steep,” agent Franco Zavaglia told Sportmediaset.

“Clearly, if Alberto were to return to one of the top teams in the Premier League, then he wouldn’t be unhappy. He did sign a five-year contract with Liverpool.

“The important thing is that he had a good season and washed away those rumours he was constantly injured.”

Like I said one day its his wants Italy the next day he may come back, it's quite simple he has two choices stay there or come back here and he will be comfortable with both. The issue is what is good for the club having AA here or lowering our asking price and selling him

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Still fucking stupid that such a player went on loan in the first place. The club should take Purslow to court.

[Hazell]

They can piss off. If they want him, then pay the money. If you don't pay the money then fuck off. Cheeky bastards.

Yeah, I keep saying we are under no pressure to sell, the club know AA's first choice is to stay in Italy and they have given Juve the opportunity to buy him if they don't use it the club and player will be happy to be re-united.

[Passmaster Molby]

We bought him for £17mill when he was half fit, and spent a year getting him fit. He then has a year on loan at a top Italian club where he proves his fitness and is seen as one of their better players during the season, and the agent is calling for us to accept less than £13mill - Fuck off you cheeky bastard.

I wouldn't mind him coming back to be honest.

[TSC]

If Dalglish thinks he can bring something to the team he'll bring him back.  If not, then he'll let him go for whatever contribution he can get.  Obviously there is little interest in him at the mo so asking price will prob have to be dropped.

Considering the apparent 'new' way we do things, how do you know there is little interest in him?

The agent never said we should reduce the price

[TSC]

Well I don't, but there will be other parties involved if there was interest, so even if we kept it 'in house' the press would pick up on it from either his agent or potential buying team.

[royhendo]

Pussy Bumboysiero.

[RigBon1892]

Juve....cough up or piss off.

[Aleishin]

Really hope they don't pay up, different option to all our other CMs probably better at carrying the ball forward and his movement in the last 3rd invaribly finds him in space.  Would suit our side much more now than last season or the beginning of this, another player for me who has good movement technically very sound and the more players we have like this the better.

[RedEire]

dickheads, and the put in a 30million bid for benzema the other day.. they are trying to be too sneaky now.. take him back..

[rednich85]

But you said it was obvious there's little interest.

There's no way you could know that, or even the press could know that.

Considering Juve have 1st option, I'd imagine anyone making inquiries would be waiting until they know how the Juve thing pans out.

Because they are in a financial crisis ...

Aren´t they set to blow something like 100m euro this summer?

They won´t have first option when his loan deal expires, right? That would be really bad business..

well I think I read it on a reputable site like goal or something =), but I´ve seen a few rumours like that so it would be weird if they´re suddenly in a financial crisis

Real Madrid have turned down an offer of 30m euros (£26.4m) from Juventus for French striker Karim Benzema. (La Gazzetta dello Sport)

[Jetmir M.]

The deal runs out on the 30th of June so that is that deadline. 15th of May is a deadline seems to deadline to try and get the ball rolling on the deal.

If the 15th of May passes it's not the end of the sega as Juve know he is still their player until the 30th of June.

And after 15th May they can do eff all to sign him (if we dont want to sell).

[rednich85]

As I understand it, they have 1st option until just before the transfer window opens, meaning they have until that date to tie a deal up, if not, he goes on the open market (or comes 'home')

[rednich85]

Actually, Juve have been hard up recently. Their raft of loan signings last summer was because, they didnt have the money to actually buy players.

I don't think they're in a crisis but in the same breath, I dont think they have the money to pay the agreed fee for Berty.

[Fordy]

And after 15th May they can do eff all to sign him (if we dont want to sell).

Yeah they can keep on talking to Liverpool as AA is their player until the 30th of June. So even if the 15th of May passes with no deal done this will go on and on until AA is back in pre season with Liverpool.

The agreed deal for AA is over a 3 year period. They can afford it and have never said they can't.

Yeah, my point was that right now the future of Aqua is in Juve's hands, come next week tho, it will be a different story.

[Fordy]

Source that Juve have come out and said they can't afford the agreed deal.

Juve have never said they can't afford any player.

Yes they might have financial problems but so do a number of clubs - means nothing.

I think he's back here as soon as the Italian league finishes next week to be honest. No point in Juventus paying his wages once the season is over so I am sure he will be straight back here after the last round of games.

[Fordy]

No it's not a different story. They have him until the 30th of June and they want the player so Juve will keep banging on the door like they have done since the start of the year.

Juve have made it very clear they won't be paying the agreed fee - Nothing changes until AA is back in England.

Now I know you're more intelligent than 'means nothing'.

Don't be fucking silly.

Of course Juve aren't going to come out and say they can't afford him.
