Chiellini shall be next Juve captain having Benitez as his new manager! Why rumours like these? Because he wants much more money from his actual board and, obviously, they'll give him on next years!

Svens judgement was good on this one, hes exploded since then by the sounds of things.

Toure is most certaintly not OK to be our first choice CB and captain!

If he's exploded I don't want him.

LOL!

I agree with the earlier comment of Kompany and Lescott being the best option at centre half at the moment. If we can get Chiellini then I am happy to go with Mancini's views. Lescott moving to left back would give us height and quality, just need to sort the right back out and encourage Given to come for crosses and the defence is sorted. Though of course there are injuries, suspensions and rotation of players to deal with so having quality players that can come in are important.

How much do we think Chiellini would cost - £25m?

I agree.
it would be absolute folly for City to buy Chellini and for him it would be a mistake to come to England. He would soon get found out.
