SNSUN Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 £9 million is a lot for a 30 year old if thats true, with very limited resale value. Other than that I dont know much about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northernsaint Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 (edited) Quality international striker. Sick of people saying over 30's are off limits. Chelsea won champs league with a few over 30's. van persie will be 30 this year, giggs still changing games at 40. In the same vain as 'If youre good enough your old enough' stands for youth players 'If you're good enough you're young enough' applies to senior players. The advances in sports science, conditioning and nutrition mean players are light years ahead of the players in the 80's and 90's who were deemed over the hill at 30+. Look at Pirlo, Nesta and Del Piero etc. The Italian physical makeup is one of longevity, high life expectancy etc. I certainly would be happy with a bid and think he would do a good job for us.

Giordano Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Don't believe it. He's 30 years old, 31 in jan. never played EPL. Unless he is a free transfer. How they think they can get 9m for a 30 year old I don't know.. And why all of a Sudden we are interested in this type of player? Nope nope nope. It's odd. Agent talk perhaps to gee up Norwich?

Northernsaint Posted 15 July, 2013 Share Posted 15 July, 2013 He has scored 1 in 3 throughout his career consistently. Not the best I must admit but not too shabby. In fairness I would rather go for others at that kind of money, demba ba for example. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Warrior Posted 15 July, 2013 Author Share Posted 15 July, 2013 Don't shoot the messenger sandwich. I'm only reporting what is on another site Im only reporting this from someone living in italt. It looks like the Saints are placing an offer for Fabio Quagliarella (Juventus). A bid from Norwich, in the amount of 9 mln £, was under evaluation, before Soton entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface Posted 16 July, 2013 Share Posted 16 July, 2013 Very good player. Would prefer a dynamic quick younger striker. However his pedigree (chum) is fantastic. More experience and goals at the top level than any if our players. would say he would be a better fit at Norwich. I'm sure he would be solid in the prem.

Saint Garrett Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Not sure if this has already been reported... http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/calciomercato/2013/07/19-268019/Juve%2C+per+Quagliarella+una+fila+di+pretendenti TURIN - To Quagliarella there is a row. Norwich and Southampton from the Premier League, Zenit Spalletti, sirens from La Liga, there are many suitors who have submitted tenders, so far rejected the sender, for the Juventus striker. Juve must sell, but does not want to sell off: so that both the Norwich Lazio, newcomer, with their offer of 6 million and a half for the card have been heard and rejected by Marotta. Why quail would not want to leave and would not want to deprive Count: if it should happen, needs to be done to the fullest. The coach of the Norwich occurred in Chatillon few days ago to convince the player, while the inclusion of Lulic in the negotiations could encourage biancocelesti Lotito, with whom the club Juventus is excellent relations view the controversy Supercup. http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/serie_a/juventus/2013/07/18-267939/Calciomercato+Juve%2C+venti+milioni+possono+arrivare+dalle+cessioni For the record, Quagliarella is in talks with Norwich and Southampton. Around Matri is rumored between Naples, Milan and Lazio, with the variable Liverpool. From the two of them will get the biggest basket of revenue. http://www.tuttosport.com/calcio/calciomercato/2013/07/15-267688/Juve%2C+per+la+fascia+sinistra+uno+tra+Kolarov+e+Zuniga Quagliarella, who like so much in the Premier League and that he could accept the offer of Southampton or Norwich: 12 million that would be gold for the head of the Juventus market, chasing one of Kolarov and Zuniga Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colinjb Posted 23 July, 2013 Share Posted 23 July, 2013 Anyone who has played a part for an unbeaten Serie A team and with full international italian experience has to be worth a worth a look. 30 years old, therefore I wouldn't expect him to be an outright Lambert replacement.... he would either be at his peak or his best years would be behind him. The option he would provide would be fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The option he would provide would be fantastic. Dont disagree that he isnt a good player, but at 30 years old he needs to be a lot cheaper than 12million euros as he will have NO resale value when he is 32/33. And that is a part of nicolas financial appraisal system. Total cost of Quaglierella assuming 3m pa wages over 3 years is 12m fee +9m wages =21million. Compare that to the cost of someone like Damiao over 3 years = 20m fee + 15m wages = 35millio then minus possible resale value of 25-35mm minus endorsements, sponsorship benefits shirt sales etc = between zero or even a profit and minus 10million if hes only been average.

Oh, as a business deal there is no argument.... Damiao or similar would be a better prospect. Sadly (?!?), the world of football doesn't work purely on cash. The reputation of the clubs concerned will also be a massive factor for most players. If Quagliarella wants to come here and a Damiao doesn't, the argument about figures because a little redundant.

SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 31 January, 2014 Share Posted 31 January, 2014 Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but if it is looking like Fabio Quagliarella could be leaving Juventus in the wake of Osvaldo's arrival, might we be attempting a swap deal?

S-Clarke Posted 31 January, 2014 Share Posted 31 January, 2014 Fabio would be the definition of a panic signing. If he's the only option, we might as well stick with Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 31 January, 2014 Share Posted 31 January, 2014 (edited) Fabio would be the definition of a panic signing. If he's the only option, we might as well stick with Sam. I have no insight in his form over the last 12 months. But why do you suggest this? edit - scored 13 for Juve last season and 4 in 14 in this season about 1 in 3 in Serie A 25 caps for Italy Lambert has 7 in 23 this season Edited 31 January, 2014 by Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batman Posted 31 January, 2014 Share Posted 31 January, 2014 You'd have to imagine he's at least been offered to us through the Osvaldo deal right?

Not if the club are saying..hang on...we've got a young player who is pretty sharp, and we want him to get plenty of games in the 2nd half of the season.
