Juve eye move for Heinze
-
JUVENTUS boss Didier Deschamps is weighing up a bid for Manchester United left-back Gabriel Heinze.
Heinze, 28, has fallen behind Patrice Evra in the Old Trafford pecking order this season. And Deschamps believes United will be willing to sell the former Paris St Germain ace — especially if they land Southampton starlet Gareth Bale.
Deschamps said: "I know Gaby, I saw him playing in France for two years. "At Manchester United he is used as a left full-back but I don't think it is his best position. "I think he is more a central defender. Considering the number of left-sided defenders at Manchester United, if there is an opportunity and he is attracted, why not?
"He is a very good player of an international level. He is a leader and a winner." -
how is juve's position now?
likely to be promoted? -
100% promoted !Originally posted by R3SsH|n:how is juve's position now?

Just half the season past, and they have already made up their 9 points penalty without losing a single match... Look at their goal difference too...

Juventus is too strong to be playing in the Serie B. But it'll be sad to see Heinz go. He is a good defender.

i don't think man utd will sell...
maybe juve should try asking bout silvestre... -
man u should do any exchange and get giorgio chiellini; a 22 year old LB from Juventus.

buy silvestre better!

I doubt SAF wants to let Heinze go, we need him as a cover for Evra if something goes wrong, both him and Evra can surge forward real fast in the wings to support in the attack and counter attack, and surge back for defence, if Heinze is sold, and Evra suffers from burn out or is injured.. who do we call? Silvestre? Geezz.. by the time he tread back for defense, it'll only be retrieving the ball behind the net which was conceded due to the hole left behind by him..

Actually in my opinion, it's a good business deal considering Heinze is getting old and slower. Maybe Juve can consider a double package, Buy Heinze Get Silvestre free.
United can den use the cash received to purchase Gareth Bale of Southampton who is also Left-Legged and plays on both Left-Back and Left-Midfield.
Cheers.

most likely he'll stand around and ball watch...

Heinze enjoys Premiership Pace
Juventus boss Didier Deschamps has made no secret of his admiration for United's robust defender Gabriel Heinze this week.
The Argentine international has a battle on his hands for the left-back spot at Old Trafford with Patrice Evra putting in some fine performances this season. And although he found himself on the bench against Aston Villa last weekend, the he showed no signs of looking for the exit door when he spoke to Inside United recently.
“The Premiership is very dynamic, fast and furious,” Gaby told United’s official monthly magazine. “I think the combination of pace and skill is the beauty of football in England.”
He acknowledges that English football may be the most physically demanding in the world, but Heinze admits that suits his game perfectly.
“When it comes down to it, I’d prefer to defend against somebody who is strong because you’ve got one or two more ways to deal with them. If there’s somebody really quick then there’s less you can do.
“[Whatever competition I’m playing in], there aren’t any players who are of lower quality. Every game you’re coming up against a top quality rival. On a game-to-game basis you really have to be on your toes.”
It seems training, too, is a challenge. The Reds’ no.4 praised Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney for their silky skills. “Ronaldinho can do anything he wants with the ball,” Heinze said of his former Paris Saint German teammate. “That makes him similar to Wayne and Cristiano. They’re all totally unpredictable on a football pitch and impossible to defend against at times.”
