'MON JR.

That Juve lineup is hilariously wrong/unbalanced.

Roma signed Juan so I guess that means Chivu to Inter will be more than likely now.

99% confirmed from what I understand on both fronts. Leaves Walter Samuel available, imo. Stories of Matriz leaving too, although I am not too sure on that one.

'Mon Five taking the live matches and not having John Barnes as host.

Somehow managed to miss that in the transfers list. For what possible reason would they want to re-sign Ibrahim Ba?

Mon Samp. :thup:

Mon Samp. :thup: </BLOCKQUOTE>Comedy value? I think it is more of a favour to the player. They have done it on the odd occasion before. Can't be expected to turn out in the league tbh, maybe the odd Coppa game.

You'd hope that they'd put in a bit of effort on the presenter/pundit/commentator front, but as long as Richardson gets the presenter job for the highlights package as well as any live matches I'll be quite content.

I didn't see a lot of Bravo's programming so I don't know who they brought in. If Sky can do without him now and again I'd kinda like Ray Wilkins to be involved since he's got first hand experience and I rate him as a pundit. Other than that I'm not sure who else I'd like to see involved.

Trezeguet pledges future to Juventus

France striker David Trezeguet has made an about-turn and extended his contract with Juventus by three years until 2011. "I have made a decisive choice for my career and my life," said the 29-year-old.

Recod scorer
Trezeguet had announced he was leaving following a loss to Spezia Calcio 1906 on the final day of the 2006/07 campaign, a match in which he scored his 15th league goal of the season for the Serie B champions. However, he is now targeting a decade of service for the Bianconeri after joining from AS Monaco FC in 2000. "In the last 15 days I've seen how much the club wanted me to stay and I decided to forget about the problems we had in the past and only think about the future," he said. Trezeguet has scored 140 goals for the Turin club, more than any other foreign player.

Rebuilding
Juve have been quickly rebuilding for Serie A under new coach Claudio Ranieri. Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon extended his contract and a number of players, including Portugal midfielder Tiago from Olympique Lyonnais and €11.3m Udinese Calcio striker Vincenzo Iaquinta, have arrived at the club.

Inter secure Suazo at last

Honduras striker David Suazo has finally joined FC Internazionale Milano despite interest from San Siro rivals AC Milan.

Four-year contract
The 28-year-old appeared to be destined for the Nerazzurri earlier this month only for Milan to claim they had secured his services from Cagliari Calcio. However, that approach was withdrawn on Saturday and Suazo has now committed to Inter on a four-year contract. Suazo had spent eight seasons with the Sardinian club since moving to Italy in 1999, scoring 94 goals in 255 matches including 22 in 2005/06, his most prolific campaign

Finally moved to a major club :thup:

what happened to make trezeguet re-sign, or for juve to even want him to stay following his remarks over the past few weeks?

[retired_felicityh]

he resigned because of his love for the club who has brought him a lot of success and I am sure that Del Piero, Nedved and Buffon had a little word to him aswell.

any solid info regarding the Five coverage?
