Arsenal target Oddo keen on Juventus
Lazio right-back Massimo Oddo has declared he wants to join Juventus before the start of the new season.
Oddo has also been linked with Arsenal, but insists: "I know that Juventus are interested, if it must happen we hope it is soon.
"At Lazio, of the players on the market, I and Cesar remain available.
"The president knows that if he sells us the tifosi will not accept this happily and it will create problems. But he wants to get big money from our sales.
"I sincerely do not find this as just, it complicates everything. I will never ask to leave, because if there were conditions in order to remain I would not have problems in doing so."

All italian players would prefer to stay in Italy and if it is a big club like juventus then why not. Italians are not good travellers anyways.
Massimo Oddo is a good RB don't know if he can play in the centre defence. But if we are going to sign a player then i hope wenger goes for a player who can play both as a RB and a CB and most importantly he must have considerable experience which would be vital in europe.
I can't see wenger signing another young player unless wenger doesn't see Hoyte as our future RB.But i still say Fabricio Coloccini is the player we should get. 8)

Massimo Oddo.
We, along with Juventus, have been linked with him in Sky Sports.
Here's some comments I lifted from elsewhere about him:

Any italian defender is fine by me. Not seen him play, but I'm a big fan of wing backs. Love that position ;D
Arsène - buy Mancini!! Brazilian with an Italian passport, so work permit no prob.
Scores stupid amounts of goals as well. Has a howitzer of a right boot.
Watch out for him. New Cafu he is.

In Italy, most fans were furious that he wasn't Italys first-choice RB. He's very solid defensively, and offers an option in attack too.
To put it simply, he's twice the player Lauren is (and I'm not a Lauren hater)

And where exactly would we be getting the kind of money we'd have to pay for Mancini??
I know Roma have financial problems, but spending aruond £10-15m on a wing back would be insane when we need strong, maybe young, cover at the back, not first team replacements.

We've been linked with Oddo during the summer but he'll probably end up at Juve.

Mancini is super going forward but his defensive qualities dont inspire much cnfidence
I couldn't believe it when I first saw him. I actually thought it was Cafu at first glance. But it's true that his defending leaves something to be desired. Or was that another phrase I'm trying to say. Not sure but you know what I mean.Denish said:

ive always felt the further up you go towards the goalies direction, the more experience is needed. ie, its better to have younger attackers and strikers and more experience at the back, with the goalie the most experience.
of course theres always exceptions. ;D

I've been a fan of his for a long long time. He's fantastic going forward. But you're right, may have defensive lapse. But I'm sure AW can work on that department if he gets Mancini. Just look at Kolo. Was a little shaky at the start, didn't really know his position but now a solid addition to the back four.
That dude can run with the ball man!! Definitely a great addition to the backline if we can snag him.

Mancini rarely played at right back last season he would normally have someone behind him like Panucci or play as a play as a right wing back with 5 at the back. This guy cannot defend to a good enough standard although his pace is electric.

This was in last Sunday's People newswpaper....
!Arsène Wenger is closing in on a £1.5m deal for Italian international Massimo Oddo.
The Arsenal chief wants to bring the classy Lazio right-back into Highbury as competition for Cameroon ace Lauren.
Wenger still has cash to spend in the transfer market after pulling out of a £3million move for West Ham's England midfielder Michael Carrick.
The Gunners boss is a long-time admirer of Oddo (capped 13 times for his country) and is keen to bring the defender to London.
Oddo still has two years left on his contract but Lazio, desperate for cash, will let him leave if Arsenal come up with the dough.
Wenger's move for Oddo follows his failed bid to land Ajax's Tunisian international right-back Hatem Trabelsi."
