Del Piero welcomes Zlatan
Tuesday 31 August, 2004

Juventus captain Alessandro Del Piero is delighted with the news that his club have signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swede should complete his move from Ajax on Tuesday after a £13m fee was agreed last night.

"I don’t really need to say it but he is a great buy," stated the Italian. "Everyone is aware of his quality. I’m happy with his arrival and not worried about the competition for places."

The 23-year-old is set to sign a four-year contract and could be presented to the media as soon as this evening.

"Juventus have made an excellent move," added Italy and former Juventus tactician Marcello Lippi.

"The club have strengthened themselves and weakened an opponent in their Champions’ League group.

"Ibrahimovic undoubtedly increases the quality of the squad which boss Fabio Capello has available to him."

The attacker was also a target for Roma but they have now opted to net Egyptian forward Ahmed Hossam Mido from Marseille.

The 21-year-old is in the capital and his capture is set to be officially confirmed by this evening.

German tactician Rudi Voller has also landed in Rome after admitting that he will be the new Giallorossi boss.

oh let me be one of the first ppl to welcome u (nedved84) to the forums here at SG.

you have quite a stunning line-up there? did u make it on fifa or championship manager? oh wait that juventus i forgot:crazyboy:

davidcfs

31-08-2004, 08:03:PM

Being a roma fan I am a wee bit pissed off however I am gonna give moggi credit I didn't ******* see that one coming.

However has Canavaro signed officially yet?

Drvar

31-08-2004, 08:08:PM

btw, how would Juve's lineup look like now? Considering Del Piero and Zlatan arent strikers (at least from what ive seen, correct me if im wrong), but forwards, they cant both play together, unless theres another striker (Trezegay), but that would force one of them into an AM role, which is taken by nedved.

man, ive probably made 10 mistakes about juve's players in that paragraph, so i really need your help guys ;).

Virgo

31-08-2004, 08:40:PM

It's a great signing indeed... but I fear for Del Piero, his style of play and role is quite similar to Zlatan's, only he's worse. Hope he's not benched this season.

This given that Trezeguet will play most games cuz he's a much better finisher than either Zlatan or DP.

Virgo

31-08-2004, 09:02:PM

If so you'd have to put Chelsea, Arsenal and Milan in the lot as well.

In fact Rooney isn't a superstar, maybe in England but certainly not in the rest of the world where he isn't even that highly regarded.

And actually the only "superstar" currently in Man Utd is Ruud.

We are not galacticos and we have never been . . . Our team consists of ugly, bad tempered English, Welsh, Scots, French, American and Dutch men managed by a mad Scotsman . . . We never rely on big stars, the team spirits and work ethics that made us successful ( and financially secured :crazyboy: ).

This would be a smart move if they had sold some of their strikers before signing Ibrahimovic.

Smart: get rid of Zalayeta and then sign Ibrahimovic.

i dont think juve worries about paying zalayeta. he aint a star player so he doesnt get a big paycheck ;)

31-08-2004, 09:42:PM

Vi.nl reports that the transfer of Zlatan might just fail at the last minute! http://www.vi.nl/vi/show/id=62802/contentid=63136/sc=467c53.

Here's the translated version(translated by me and freetranslation.com)

Transfer Ibrahimovic about to fail

31/8/2004 15:56

EXCLUSIVE - It seemed only a matter of time, but temporarily is the chance larger that the transfer of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Juventus does not continues. Ajax and Juventus had an agreement about the fee of the transfer which was sixteen million Euros. The problem is more the payments conditions, Cause the Amsterdam club demands far-reaching guarantees. And there is the problem because it's almost impossible for Juventus reach those agreements in time as the transfer window closes tonight

The caution of Ajax started by the bad experiences a year ago. The transfer of Cristian Chivu to AS Roma almost failed because the Roman club didn't got all the money. Ajax are stil waiting for a part of that money. But Juventus however is a trustable club.

In the wait of an agreement between both clubs, Ibrahimovic was in the Netherlands. Ajax has now given, under pressure of Juventus, Ibrahimovic permission to fly to Turin. They must hurry cause the swedish striker still hasn't completed the medical test and that must be done before 19.00.

Crespo is going down and Zlatan is going up. I personally prefer Ibrahimovic.

RoyIsALegend

31-08-2004, 10:40:PM

I'm of the belief that while Crespo has an impressive resume and tallied some key goals in the past, Ibrahimovic is quickly surpassing him and is a much more creative striker. I'd take him over Crespo any day of the week.

Brilliant player.

Latest newsflash: Juve can't give certain guarantees to Ajax from their bank so Ajax says that there will be no deal if they cannot fullfill certain demands. They don't want **** like they had with Chivu (Ajax is still waiting for money from Roma) so they are real carefull with this transfer. So the chance that Zlatan goes to Juve has diminished at the moment and Ajax is very clear about this: NO BANKGURANTEE NO DEAL!!

so in closing, this has to be one of the worst offseasons in recent memory, capello leaves, emerson leaves, samuel leaves, prandelli in, prandelli unfortunately leaves, gila no, zlatan no, fabiano no. if it wasnt for mexes, ferrari and perrotta who knows

Until an half our ago I thought it was done too but Vi is reporting it's not. Here's a quick translation of the article.Het leek slechts een kwestie van tijd, maar voorlopig is de kans groter dat de transfer van Zlatan Ibrahimovic naar Juventus niet doorgaat. De eisen van Ajax zorgen voor oponthoud.

It was practically a question of time, but the chance is now bigger that the transfer of Zlatan to Juventus won't go through. Requirements by Ajax seem to be the problem.

Ajax en Juventus hebben elkaar gevonden in de hoogte van de transfersom, die zestien miljoen euro bedraagt . Het probleem ligt meer in de betalingsvoorwaarden, want de Amsterdamse club eist vergaande garanties. En juist daar schuilt het probleem, omdat het nagenoeg onmogelijk is voor Juventus om binnen de gestelde termijn te voldoen aan die eisen.

Ajax and Juventus agreed on a transfersum, which'd be 16 million euro. The problem is the payment guarantee, because the club from Amsterdam want gauraantees that the payment will be done in the period that Ajax wants.http://www.vi.nl/vi/show/id=62802/contentid=63136/sc=467c53

listen, you think the ajax site will update so quickly?? cannavaro signed yestarday for juve and it is only today that the news is on the site.
it doesnt have to be all over the internet for it to be official, it only counts that the signature of the teams and the player its on a piece of paper in the FIGC building 30 min ago.
and the italian media are saying its done.

01-09-2004, 12:25:AM

Yeah, It isn't official and if one of the most reliable sites on the net says it's about to fall through. I know you want to get him, but as I sayd before: ATM it doesn't look like he's coming to Turin!

If nothing else, they'll sign him in January.

That's an awesome signing. Ibrahimovic will rock wherever he plays. Juve would be the first team I'd want to sign him after Liverpool of course, so it's a great transfer all around (H)

yeah he's in Turin but only for his medical and if before 19.00 tonight (it's now 19.35) Ajax had no hard guarantees as in moneyguarantees, the deal is off and he will return in Amsterdam tomorrow, Ajax.nl is very fast in updating their website, faster than Juventus.com that's for sure :p
There's no confirmation yet and just now on Dutch television they said that the deal could be off if the problems persist!

Let's just wait and see shall we, the transferwindow closes tonight at 00.00.
Only Ajax, Juve and Zlatan himself know how the situation is at the moment right :rolleyes:

Zlatan

01-09-2004, 12:36:AM

Well you see that's our luck(and your problem) he can't leave tommorow cause the transfer window closes :) . And indeed then he'll leave in january but he'll stay atleast for one half a year. If he goes then you won't hear anything from me in this thread but as long as it isn't official(no-one yet reported it: Nor Juventus nor Ajax, nor Zlatan) I keep hope that he does stay.

I agree, I think it's a big mistake to let him go and especially to Juve wtf that's their fist opponent in the CL in two weeks i mean how stupid can you get :kader:
With Cannavaro AND Zlatan with Juve you can kiss the next round byebye so this is just insane :rolleyes:
But if he wants to go he goes cause the past has learned that you can't keep a player who wants to leave a club.
I saw an interview with van der Vaart an half hour ago and he was all smiles:"good for him" he said "i admire him as a striker but we don't get along too well that's a shame".

No because they can sign the deal right now except that instead of an immediate transfer, it will be processed in January. But all the details can be agreed on and signed right now.

Juve complete double swoop
Tuesday, 31 August 2004
Juventus FC have signed Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic from AFC Ajax for around €19m while also completing a deal for defender Fabio Cannavaro from FC Internazionale. The latter transfer is an exchange agreement which sends Uruguayan goalkeeper Fabian Carini in the opposite direction.

Scored against Italy
Ibrahimovic, who scored a memorable goal against Italy at UEFA EURO 2004™, arrives at the Stadio Delle Alpi for a reported €19m. The 22-year-old is understood to have signed a four-year contract, official confirmation of which will follow later today. Ibrahimovic scored 13 goals in 16 games to help Ajax win the Eredivisie title last season. He had joined the Amsterdam club from Malmö FF in 2001 for €7.8m and in 2002 hit the winning goal in the Dutch Cup final.

Conflict
Juventus are acquiring a virtuouso talent, an example of which came on 22 August in a 6-2 victory over NAC Breda, when he dribbled past five NAC defenders and the goalkeeper to score. However, he had caused unrest in the Ajax squad after a couple of crude challenges on club colleagues during Sweden's friendly against the Netherlands earlier this month, one of which sidelined the Ajax captain Rafael van der Vaart with an ankle injury. Ironically, Juventus's first UEFA Champions League assignment is away to Ajax on 15 September.

Four-year deal
Cannavaro's arrival in Turin was less of a surprise. The 30-year-old defender has agreed a four-year contract with the Bianconeri, which will pay him the €9m he would have collected in the two years left on his Inter deal. The San Siro club were prepared to lose the Italy captain having signed eight players this summer, including defenders Sinisa Mihajlovic and Nicolas Burdisso.

Parma old boys
Cannavaro made his Serie A debut as an SSC Napoli player against Juventus in 1993. He joined Parma FC in 1995/96 before moving to the San Siro in a €23m deal two years ago. At Juventus he will be reunited with his former Parma team-mates Gianluigi Buffon and Lilian Thuram.

Carini contract
"I'm sure that Thuram and Cannavaro will form a great defensive partnership again," Juventus coach Fabio Capello said. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old Carini has inked a four-year contract with Inter. The Uruguayan international transferred to Juventus in 2000/2001 but spent the last two seasons on loan at R. Standard de Liège in Belgium.

interview with buffon about zlatan:

Gigi Buffon: "Sono arrabbiato con la Juventus che mi ha tolto la possibilità di giocare la rivincita contro Ibrahimovic..." dice il portiere sorridendo. "Dopo quel gol all'Europeo, a fine partita, dissi ai compagni che quello lì mi aveva impressionato: bravo tecnicamente, agile e con una stazza che fa paura. Ora siamod a tetto d'Europa".

trnalsation:

"im pissed at juve because they took away my chance to get back at zlatan" says that with a smile in his face. "after that goal in the eurocup, after the game, i told my teammates that that guy impressed me: good tecnique, and with a tonnage that gives me the chills. now we are in top of europe

Transferrekord i Holland

Blot få timer efter salget af Zlatan Ibrahimovic til Juventus har Ajax Amsterdam sikret sig Arouna Koné fra Roda JC.

"Det er den største tranfersum i hollandsk fodbold," pralede Rodas tekniske chef Nol Hendriks og fortsætter,

"Vi er utrolig glade for de penge, vi har fået, men er også utrolig kede af, at vi mister sådan en klasse spiller efter blot et år i klubben," ****ter Nol Hendriks til hollandsk presse.

Også klubber som Manchester United og Marseille var angiveligt med i kapløbet om at sikre sig angriberen fra Ivory Coast.

Den 21-årige Arouna Koné har spillet 31 kampe i den hollandske Æresdivision med tretten mål til følge.

On www.vi.nl they now say the deal is completed too:

Ajax en Juventus zijn het toch eens over Zlatan

31/8/2004 22:00

EXCLUSIEF
Even voor 22.00 uur is het dan toch rondgekomen: Zlatan Ibrahimovic is vertrokken naar Juventus. Maar bijna ging het niet door.

Ajax had om 18.00 uur de transfer zelfs willen afblazen. Juventus bleek namelijk niet in staat om op tijd een bankgarantie te overleggen, waarna het bestuur van Ajax in Amsterdam besloot een streep te halen door de onderhandelingen. Dit wekte echter de woede op van Ibrahimovic, die vanuit Turijn liet weten niet terug te zullen keren naar Ajax.

Juventus slaagde er intussen in om clementie te krijgen van de Italiaanse bond. Officieel sloot de Italiaanse transfermarkt om 19.00 uur, maar de FICG besloot in te gaan op de smeekbede van Juve om de Turijnse bond nog enkele uren de tijd te geven. In die extra uurtjes lukte het Juventus en Ajax om tot een akkoord te komen.

De Amsterdammers zouden een bedrag van circa negentien miljoen euro ontvangen voor Ibrahimovic. Juventus deed tegeleijkertijd Fabrizio Miccoli van de hand. Fiorentina kocht de aanvaller voor een bedrag van 4,5 miljoen euro.

-------------------------------

It basically says that around 10 PM the transfer of Zlatan was completed. At 6 PM Ajax wanted to cancel the transfer because Juve couldn't get any bank guarantee (don't know if this is English, but meh) Officially the Italian transfer window closed at 7 PM, but the Italian FA agreed to give Juve some extra time for the transfer. Ajax gets 19 million € apparently

Since Del Piero and Trezeguet are so injury prone, Zlatan should get tons of playing time...

I don't think they'll play together at the same time. it'll either be Alex&Zlatan or Alex&Trez. this does however depend on how well Alex plays. tbh-I'd put Trez ahead of Zlatan, not really a fan of his as a person he's too much of an anal sac:D Trez always seems to score a crucial goal with his only important touch of the whole game. and he's more proven in Serie A

:: Nedved ::::::::::::::::::::::: Cam/App :::
::::::::::::::::::::: Emerson :::::::::::::::::::
::: Zam ::::::: Can ::::::: Thur ::::: Birin :::::
:::::::::::::::::::: Chimenti :::::::::::::::::::

=============================

I know its kinda annoying, but i really think Moggi buying Jankulovski would've put them over the top. he could play LM, and Nedved move to RM, and theyd have the best Mid in europe. I'm not crazy about Zebina (i picked Biri, but i know Zebina is gonna be first choice), but if he does badly, than they could always move Thuram back and insert Legrottaglie.

Juve has a lot of depth, but i also think they have too many players.

Just been to the Juventus site, nice squad you have there.

I'm suprised about Miccoli and feel sad for him after reading what you just posted. It seems stranged it was him who left not Zalayeta.

Zalayeta ws loaned out last season and i thought that was th last of him at Juve.

Maybe Capello did the same as what Mourinho did with Alexei Smertin and decided that it was Zalayeta who was looking better than Miccoli in training/pre season games.

Oh well. :(

claupastore

02-09-2004, 11:50:AM

zalayeta couldnt leave cuz nobody would want to buy him in the last day of the transfer market
juve wanted money to pay for zlatan, and by selling half of miccoli, they got the cash to spend on zlatan

IceBlu

02-09-2004, 11:57:AM

Zalayeta is a very handy player to have on the bench. Everyone underestimates him.

Miccoli was never going to get much playing time with Zlatan, DP and Trez in the same team. Sooner or later he would have left.

Zalayeta won't complain even if he is left on the bench for most of the season but he will come up with a few goals even then. 7 Million for Miccoli is awesome ... and Juve still co-own him.

It worked out well for both parties.

Yeh i agree that it worked for both parties.

Zalayeta does come and do a good "Solksjaer" job (CL against Barca in 2002/2003) (H) .

Miccoli was never going to get much playing time with Zlatan, DP and Trez in the same team. Sooner or later he would have left.
