Yeah, why wouldn't I want a player who had 9 assists in a quarter of a season for us back.

Because we are in much more need to strengthen elsewhere?

[/quote]Oh for fuck sake. He's our player! Its not like we have to go and sign him. The current owners didnt even buy him, the last ones did.
This is all irrelevant. A deal has been agreed with Juventus so he wont be back. Me, Dr Mac, Shelvey, Del and a few others will never be able to proove we are right, and the rest of you will continue to be wrong.
So let this be the end of it.

From the mirror:
He's going to be like a new signing for us. I don't even want to sell him for the agreed 11m let alone anything less. Hopefully Kenny will be saying 'Welcome back Alberto'. We need a better squad.

CHILLAX ol' bugger!
He's our player alright but as it's been some time since we've seen him in our famous red it's not like he'd be dearly missed. And as been said if the money is right - in excess of £10M - we'd be taking a big gamble on a player yet to prove his worth in The Premiership if we said 'no thanks' - especially baring in mind we're severely lacking strength in depth in key-areas.
Unless our new owners got Mariana Trench deep pockets I'm sure that kind of money would be of effective use elsewhere. On at least two top-drawer wide-players for instance.
NB Having watched a fair bit of Juve of late it's clear to see Aquilani has improved moving back home but it's not like he's setting the world alight either. At least not in his past few games I've watched him play.

I think we are in a stronger position than we were as regards getting shafted by these European clubs. I am not saying the money does not matter, but had FSG been in place when Mascher was going, I don't think we would have had our kecks pulled down quite so easily.
Similarly with Aquilani , I don't think the absence of the agreed figure, some reports say £11m and some say £13m, will stop us doing anything that we planned in the summer and I don't think the JH is one for people taking advantage, it's a question of sending out the right message to these cunts.
In short we can call Juve's bluff on this one. They want him badly and they must know even at £13m they are getting a fucking bargain, insofar as he has been a top player for them this year, but that won't stop them trying to take this piss.
I'd have him back anyway. The question might be how motivated would he be.

He'd be playing for a plane ticket to Euro2012 if nothing else. He missed the World Cup, so I can't imagine he'll want to miss another major tournament.

Which is a good point.
He does need to keep up his profile in anything he does if he wants someone to come in for him anyway.

I think chances of them meeting our asking price will be even slimmer should they miss out on CL qualification too.

I was under the impression he had a great season.
[/quote]
I think that's a bit of a myth on here, probably because he only gets mentioned when he plays well. It's true he had some very good games but also a fair share of awful ones, all in all he's been terribly inconsistent to say the least

I was under the impression he had a great season. 12M is already a knock-down price. Screw them, call their bluff. If we bend over again for another club, I'll scream!![/quote]
The most relevant part of the original article isn't bolded though. Here it is again:
Juventus might not take up the option to make Alberto Aquilani's loan from Liverpool permanent, according to the club's former director of sport.
He was sacked at the end of the 2009-2010 season. So his words mean f**k all.

Exactly. He even has a dig at the current manager. They might decide to sign Aquilani just to spite him. 😉
I asked my Juve-supporting relatives about Aquilani's season so far. Their summary was that in the earlier part of the season he was excellent, probably Juve's best player. His more recent form has been up-and-down, but no more so than the rest of the team.

Alberto Aquilani’s agent insists Juventus “absolutely intend to buy him permanently†from Liverpool.
There have been reports the Bianconeri are looking for a discount in order to make the loan move something more stable.
“Juventus and Liverpool have already reached an agreement for the player some time ago,†agent Franco Zavaglia told Radiomercato.com.
“The Bianconeri directors absolutely intend to buy him permanently at the end of the season and have repeated it many times.
“Everything that has been said in the last few days is just hilarious. Liverpool certainly will not give a discount and the player will leave only with the agreed-upon figures.
“If Juventus do not buy Aquilani outright, then he will return to Liverpool, even if he wants to play in Italy…
“I don’t think there are any Italian clubs that can have him other than Juvntus.â€

All except the last sentence. Wonder how much Juve paid him to say that? 😉
Juve do have first refusal, Roland, but any of their competitors can sign Aquilani if Juve decide against doing so.
Just got reminded that in 2009/10 season, he started 9 (in 18) Premier League games & in those 9 he got 6 assists & scored 1 goal.
Assists against: Burnley, Portsmouth, Tottenham, Bolton
Goal against: Portsmouth
