Bojinov joins Juventus

Juventus have officially signed Fiorentina striker Valeri Bojinov in exchange for Adrian Mutu, although it is only a loan deal for the moment.

Talk of a swop had been in the air for some time, but the moves were completed this evening, announced the Stadio Artemio Franchi side.

Former Chelsea forward Mutu has been bought in a permanent switch, while Bojinov joins Juventus on loan with an option to buy 50 per cent of his contract at the end of the season.

Bulgarian hitman Bojinov was signed from Lecce in January 2005, but failed to make his mark at the club with just eight Serie A goals in 36 appearances.

He first shot to fame at Lecce, where he became the youngest ever Serie A player, making his debut at the age of 15 in a 3-1 defeat to Brescia on January 27, 2002.

Confident player going to Juventus right now, if i was being chased by Juve i'd wait until after the sage.

But still great signing by them.

Very very strange decision by Bojinov. Why would anyone move there with all the shit going on there

Well... Congarts to my fellow Bulgarian. I don't understand the move at all... I mean it IS juventus, but what happens if they get relegated to Seria C1... or w/e they will be put?

Its only a loan and Bojinov was not happy at Fiorentina because he wasnt playing enough, and he is only young. Juve are expected to go str8 back up to Serie A, so in the end it could be a good move for him.

Yeah, maybe he is planning to prove his worth to a team that is in need of solid performers at a lower pay and still have years left in them. If he shows his loyalty and worth now and Juve make it back into top form, then he'll be sitting pretty high. Just my thoughts though.

Bojinov has massive potential and is still very young. I think it's a good gamble on his part. If Juve come straight back up (likely on the strenght of his performances) than he will be a bianconeri hero for years to come. If Juve flounder, he will still be young enough to resurrect his career elsewhere.

very dissapointed to see Mutu go.. a very talented player who never got to play in his real postion becuz of Crapello..

I think that if Juve get relegated to Seria C, the transfer won't happen.. this is something like a clause in his contract.

good descion for bojinov, juventus will bounce back to the top, you will all see

Bojinov: "This is the most important club in the world"

Valeri Bojinov spoke of his hopes for a big future with the Old Lady at this afternoon’s press conference: “Juventus belongs at the top and I will do everything in my power to see the team challenging for trophies again, in Italy and in Europe. Football is not an individual sport, it’s the team that’s always the winner. We have a great group of players here and we expect to win. The situation we’re in is by no means perfect but you can’t always have it all your own way. We’re all hoping the penalty will be reduced but make no mistake, we are prepared and, if we have to play in Serie B, we will do all we can to gain promotion as quickly as we can”. The young Bulgarian striker then spoke of what it means to him to play for the bianconeri: “As soon as I heard they wanted me I said yes; Juve is Juve. It’s an honour to wear this jersey and I will give my all for the club. I’m very happy to play for Juventus but I realise that if I’m to be successful here I need to play well; there’s still a lot for me to learn, I need to keep improving if I want a place in the team”.

Bojinov also revealed his admiration for Alessandro Del Piero: “I’m very excited about playing with Del Piero, he’s a true champion. He gives his all for the side and always comes up with the goods when his team needs him most. I know I can learn a lot from him as a player and a person, he’s a phenomenon, truly world-class”. For Valeri the recipe for success is simple: “We need to concentrate, use our heads and play to our strengths”. And helping him along the way will be new head coach Didier Deschamps: “He’s told us what he requires of his players - hard work, concentration and a professional approach both on and off the pitch. He told us to honour the jersey with results. As a player he never stopped running for his team and he has asked for the same work ethic from us”. And what does the Bulgarian youngster make of his hosts? “The Italian people have always made me feel at home, in Lecce, in Florence, everywhere. This is the greatest footballing nation in the world and I’d like to thank the people for making me feel like one of the family. I know that I have to play well and behave well to win over the fans but that’s exactly why I’m here and I hope my performances will demonstrate that”. And that goal in training? “I’m happy I scored, it was a good goal, but it means nothing”. He ended the conference on a similarly pragmatic note: “I could talk to you all day but it would mean nothing. It’s what you do on the pitch that counts: actions speak louder than words”.


Good luck to my countryman ...

Gianluca Zambrotta and Lilian Thuram they have left for proceeding Juventus Turyn FC.Barcelony. Contract has signed on 4 years. Zambrotta, but flies contract 2 Lilian. They have departed with earlier Juventus Cannavaro and Emerson from Real Madrid. It has proceeded 11 millions euro too Zambrotta, but 5 millions euro too Thuram. It has expressed wish of remaining in n club also Juventusie Gigi Buffon. Become n club too Allesandro Del Piero, and Birindelli.

Bye bye

Sad day indeed. I honestly do not care about Emerson and Thuram, then never played with their heart for juve. However, I am very very sad about Zambrotta and Canna... They were great leaders and had a great understanding on the pitch... To bad now they will be rivals, I would have liked to see them together in Barcelona.

When asked by a World Cup reporter for his opinion on the news concerning Juventus, Thuram is rumored to have responded: "Who are they?"

He's a good player--but good riddance. Zambrotta's decision saddens me, though; he should have followed Buffon's example, not Cannavaro's, because he (like Buffon) is an excellent talent who has a good part of his career ahead of him--not an aging superstar who hears his clock ticking. Don't get me wrong: Cannavaro is still a top-class defender, and will be for several years ahead. But leaving Juventus for one last big contract is panicked thinking.

I just seen on Italian TV that Olivera has joined Sampdoria.

Very interesting... Sampdoria trying to make a European slot after this season I pressume?

And why not, they have been around the fringes for a while too. Though the sale of Diana in my opinion will NOT benefit them in the slightest. He is a very good midfielder i think and Palermo have picked up a decent player

It's official, Ibrahimovic has going to Inter for 24,8 millions (Euro).


What can I say? I knew it, but...

Udinese and Juve are finalizing the transfer of the Brazilian defender Felipe.

The Turin-based club will give the Friulani 6 million Euros plus the co-ownership of Palladini and Masiello.

This is the first signing in the defensive area for the Bianconeri following the sales of Cannavaro and Thuram.

Dude...no tears on this one, alright? That's a net gain of 15 million Euros, and Zlatan's a cancer.

Good riddance.

Good bit of business by Juve, dont rate him anyway.

This is the one good news this summer. We got rid of a player that should have never played for juve AND we got 25 Mil for him, in addition to weakening Inter - he WILL start complaining very soon if he does not start, which with the number of strikers Inter have is very possible.

To be honest, he didn't really live up to the hype when playing at Juve. Last season was gross (for him performance wise).

isn't it funny how inter r doing the same mistakes they have been doing for 10 years.. every transfer season same story.

Again please post a source.

From now on ANY POST LIKE THIS WITHOUT A SOURCE WILL BE DELETED.

I think Juve fans are being VERY harsh on Zlatan. His first season he got 18 goals for ye right? Not bad for such a "cancer" player. Now i think alot of Juve fans are taking last season too much to heart. Zlatan IS a quality player, a bit of an Assclown but a damn good player, unfortunately last season just didnt work for him. Now any other club other than Inter and Zlatan would once again prove he is one of the worlds most exciting players, however with Inters incredible record of not getting the best outta top quality he could once again struggle in Serie A.

I was talking about his personality and only his personality. Quality only goes so far.

Finalemente il cesso si ne andato.
Finally the idiot has left. Didn't consider him a quality player in his first season, and was mediocre in the second. I'd rather have Palladino or Zalayeta have more playing time than for Ibra to waste space.

Kapo has joined Tommasi at Spanish side Levante. Another one bites the dust.

He only went on a loan: http://www.calciomercato.com/index.php?c=7&a=13719

But i think this was a wrong move by juve this kid has a lot of potential to became great, and in the serie b he could get some serious playing time, but i don't think juve believe in him too much as they keep loaning him out season after season

He is perhaps the one guy who would of stayed at Juventus and they get rid of him.

That's a shame in my opinion - I've always thought Olivera could add a little extra to the game.

Ibra is a fantastic player, its sad that he left from a good club to a shitty club.

Honestly what do you know about football if you say Internazionale is a Shitty club? Brainless..

http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/aug19e.html

Mauro Camoranesi yet again reiterates his desire to get outta Serie B. Juve have pretty much invited Valencia to put in an offer as they wanna take Fiore off their hands to replace the volatile Italio-Argentine

Honestly just get rid of him already, give him to Roma or Milan

After Boumsong, felipe would b perfect understudy to Kovac

pity, we could have used him in midfield
Juve let too many good players go, they recently loaned out Chiumentio, he is young and great and could make wonderful moves along side Nedved and Del Piero, instead we got the dull Giannicheda

Camo wants out but Juve wont let him go and he says he will still play for them in Serie B but he prefers to leave.

huh? i didnt heard of this...
Felipe would be awesome, Milan were after him, I'd be delighted if we signed him

I think transfer will happen once Juve get promoted to Seria A.
http://www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/aug23f.html

so next year?

yep

I hope Felipe does not arrive...
Muntari however would be a great signing and he did well in the WC for Ghana

I would be VERY surprised if Muntari went down to Serie B. That kid has serious talent and i know while with Juve it'll probably be only a temporary thing, but surely him going down to Serie B makes no sense career wise

I think our new management must be on some crack or something. Masiello, Kapo, Palladino and Oliveira all off for the season. WTH? Then they bring in Boumsong but won't sell Zebina.

Felippe is a payer with great potential. He is only 22, If not 21, and he played regularly for Udene last season.
As far as Muntari, he wouldn't wanna hang around at Udine for too long. neither does Udinese want to hold on to him either. As soon as right offer arrives he will leave. I belive it will b once we get promoted back to Seria A.

Probably, transfers will not come for result. But win them try Didier Deschamps, it demands it from high amount Udinese Juventusu, because over 8 millions euro. If it about about it walk long ago not hear Muntari. We have won one of defender of Jean Alan Boumsoung, but he will not take a stand in with meeting italy today Coppa Italia in the match Napoli. Because they have not been performed all transfer formality else.

FORZA JUVE !!

Udinese wanted 11 million from us for Muntari, talented player no doubt but 11 million

Zlatan left , but Juve still have Trez , at least ,one good news after all.

buon per Juventus

vittoria Juve !
