Ranieri: No More Transfers!

Ranieri: No More Transfers!

There is almost certain to be uproar among Juventus fans after coach Claudio Ranieri declared that the club will not be signing any more outfield players this summer.

Today the Bianconeri completed the signing of centre midfielder Christian Poulsen, who joined from Sevilla for €9.75m.

Many Juve fans were against the signing, with some blasting the board for buying another “rubbish player”. Despite this, it was believed that the supporters would be content, providing the club went out and bought a big name in addition to Poulsen.

However, it seems that their worst fears have now rung true, as Claudio Ranieri has confirmed that the Old Lady will be signing no more outfield players this summer.

"Now all that we are missing is a goalkeeper,” said the Tinkerman.

“I am very pleased with this result and I thank the club for giving me a good team.

''With Poulsen’s arrival we continue with the project that was born the year before I came, and that is to take Juventus to the highest levels again.

“I asked for two players in every position and I got them. With the new purchase we will have quality in midfield. Whoever doubts Poulsen's talents will just have to be proved wrong.”

It seems almost inevitable that Juve supporters will react badly to this news, as many feel that the club requires a left back, centre back and a creative midfielder.
