In the previous post on Babel and the worst transfers of the last decade, I should have better
differentiated between a "bad player" and a "bad signing." Buying Alberto Aquilani was an awful,
awful deal, but Alberto Aquilani's an outstanding player. Philipp Degen is a terrible full-back but
was a free signing that didn't cost Liverpool much more than wages and overtime for the medical
staff.
Alberto Aquilani's agent expects Juventus to sign the Liverpool midfielder on a permanent
basis.
The Italy international is currently on a season-long loan at the Serie A club and has been one of
the stand-out performers this season.
Juve have the option of turning Aquilani's spell into a long-term deal and the 26-year-old's
representative, Franco Zavaglia, reckons the Bianconeri will honour their agreement with the
Merseysiders.
Liverpool is ready to enter into talks with Juventus about the future of Alberto Aquilani with
striker Amauri also on Damian Comolli's agenda, according to Sky Italia.
Aquilani is currently on loan at the Old Lady and has admitted he is enjoying his time back home
and would relish a permanent move to Turin.
Juventus are reportedly planning a move to sign Liverpool striker Fernando Torres in the summer.
Bianconeri boss Luigi Delneri is keen on bringing the Spaniard to the club but will find it tough
to persuade the Merseyside club to sell one of their prized assets.
The Serie A side's main attacking threats, with the exception of Fabio Quagliarella, are nearing
the end of their careers with the likes of Alessandro Del Piero, Vincenzo Iaquinta and Amauri aged
36, 31 and 30 respectively and the Turin side are planning major summer additions to help make the
Old Lady of Italian football into genuine title chasers.
ROME, Italy — Lazio, Roma and Juventus all snatched late winners to keep their Serie A title
hopes alive on a day of late drama on Sunday. Libor Kozak struck six minutes from time to earn
third-placed Lazio a 1-0 win at home to Sampdoria and draw them level on points with second-placed
Napoli, who [.
The Italian Football FanCast is the podcast for fans of Serie A and Calcio. On this edition of the
Italian Football FanCast, Inter look back to their best with an impressive win over Bologna which
included a special moment for club captain Javier Zanetti. Juventus were fortunate to over come
Bari and had to rely on a late goal by Alberto Aquilani, while Zlatan scored a spectacular goal
against.
Flair and skill the trick for the Kop ?
When asking supporters the reason behind their teams ‘misfortune' this season, most Liverpool
fans will angrily mutter one man's name, Rafael Benitez. The reaction is one connoting such anger
and distain, anyone overhearing the conversation unaware of who this ‘Benitez' was, would
naturally assume he was either the banker responsible for the recession or the man guilty of
helping to conceive Justin Bieber.
Alberto Aquilani became the first Italian to move to the English Premier League during the peak of
his career, a €24 million transfer in August last year that was ill advised to say the least. The
club had so many problems that spending such a large portion of their transfer budget on a player
that never suited Rafael Benitez or indeed the league's pace was always doomed to failure.
