Cassano and Juventus the courtship begins

Well Juventus and Antonio Cassano have been flirting with each other for months now. First the nice comments about Capello being like a dad and so on. But today I think it has eventually moved out of the flirting stage and moved onto full out courtship rituals.

Gigi Buffon has waded in inviting; the talented, but temperamental star to Turin insisting it’s the perfect place for the player:


"He is a player who has grown up a lot in recent times.”

"He’s a lot more disciplined than he was at the European Championship Finals. He would be perfect for Juventus."

I personally think the only thing between Cassano and Juventus now is Del Piero, if Juventus do get decide to allow Alex to leave, then his replacement is waiting in the wings with a big bunch of flowers and a grin on his face.
