Il brasiliano avrà un adeguamento. Poi Aquilani, ma la Juve si rifà sotto

Di FRANCESCO ODDI
Agenda fitta in questi giorni per Daniele
Pradè, che oltre a occuparsi
dell'esterno sinistro, quello che doveva

Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso, fed up with being surplus to requirements, has demanded Liverpool sell him. Well, that's what The Guardian reckon. Alonso, a recent transfer target for Juventus and Arsenal, wants to be sold having become disillusioned with the manager's attempts to finance the Barry deal by off-loading the .

A quattro giorni dal poker contro l'Artmedia Bratislava che ha quasi aperto le porte per l'Europa che conta, la Juventus vive una serata stregata al Mezza. Nella 18ª edizione del Trofeo Luigi Berlusconi perde contro i rossoneri (4-1), ma soprattutto vede uno dei suoi baluardi – Giorgio Chiellini – uscire in barella per una distorsione al ginocchio sinistro la cui entità si saprà nel pomeriggio di lunedì.

It wasn't widely report at the time, but back in June FIFA decided that Adrian Mutu owed Chelsea €12 million (£9.6 million) compensation. Why? For putting some special Colombian powder up his nostrils, getting his contract terminated and then signing for Juventus on a free transfer before moving on to current club Fiorentina.

Juventus marked its return to the European Champions League after an enforced two-year absence with a stylish 4-0 win over Slovakia's Artmedia on Wednesday night.

And you thought that Fiorentina's return to Europe was a good one... The Juventino in me can't help but grab this opportunity to say that whatever La Viola do well, the Bianconeri seem to do better. Ok that was a cheap shot and also completely gratuitous: different teams, different opponents, different levels of preparation. Click to continue reading...

There are still yet a few long-running transfer sagas yet to be resolved, but one of them could be within the next few days, and that's the headline that kicks off today's transfer roundup.

Wenger has made signing a central midfielder to complement Cesc Fabregas a priority. With Flamini's departure, the team has a huge void to fill. His successful partnership with Fabregas in midfield was the salient feature of Arsenal's matchplay.

There have been numerous links to Gareth Barry and Xabi Alonso, both who in my mind lack the speed and industry of a Flamini.
