Re: Giorgio Chiellini / William Gallas Swap Deal?

We can't afford him and even if we could afford him he wouldn't come to us for reasons already mentioned above.

Never going to happen, not for Gallas + £20m.

I would be amazed if a top Italian player leaves Serie A. Secondly, Ranieri is an average manager, but I don't think that he is so stupid to consider a swap between one of the best Italian defenders and an ageing Gallas.

Oh dear lord, all they did was read that b/s comment at the end of that b/s article on our transfer budget and ran with it. And these ****** actually get paid for this?

10 million? Yes Please!

Not really following that link's train of throught (We might have 13 million budget, so we're definitely going for Cheillini). Not going to happen, but it sure would make me a happy camper.

Why would anyone swap Juventus for arsenal right now?
This is a load of bull
Juventus aren't much better than us and most probably Claudio will be leaving in the summer, he's had to take a load of **** from the fans this season.

Not Chiellini, Italians are very reluctant to leave the Serie A and I think Chiellini really loves the country and culture. He already said he won't leave Juventus and there's no reason to assume he was lying.

Most players would move to Arsenal ahead of Juve in my opinion.
In terms of history and stature, Juve ****s all over us.

In terms of right now, we're pretty equal.

No non italian in their prime would go serie a.

Italians never seem to leave so it would be tough.

Juventus are 1 point from being in 4th place like us, so barely a difference between both clubs.

Although I'm not trying to deny that Chiellini wouldn't want to leave Juve, in respect to Unforgiven's last comment... Serie A is a much worse league than the EPL now. Juve wouldn't finish in top 4 of our league thats for sure. Good team as they are and that, Italian Clubs are not dominating the Champions League are they?

In refletion to the whole transfer linkage, to me its a load of old 'hoo haa'

Okay, so it has been confirmed that Fabio Cannavaro is returning to the Stadio delle Alpi, and Claudio Ranieri was sacked yesterday, with Juventus promoting from within in the form of Ciro Ferrara. Big news.

How does all of that affect our chances of getting Mr. Chiellini?

It's now twice as likely: 0.0 x2.

Back in the schooldays, one person would always say 2 as the answer to that... :wink:

No chance of Chiellini though. Let's just get Lescott and get it over with!

Lescott is more unlikely imo.
 

Arsenal Quotes

It was a unique moment, a football fairytale. Was there anyone left who still believed I could give that kind of performance? Probably only Arsène Wenger.
