Superman Speaks

Gigi Buffon commented once again on speculation linking him with a move away from Turin last night, saying his "desire to leave was as great as Juve's desire to leave him". Of course this has been translated into every language in the world and has been worded to give the "biggest indication yet" he is on his way.

Of course if the clubs desire is nil, then so is Gigi's. I cannot begin to describe the level of pain his sale would cause in Turin, or for the millions of Bianconeri fans across the globe. Here is the worlds best goalkeeper, one of the warriors who helped La Vecchia Signora face down the darkest days in her history, surely we can't lose him, now or ever?

Replacing him would be next to impossible, any other 'keeper is a backward step. Right now, today, with Andrea Agnelli a week from officially being president, with a new coach on the way, is the brightest and best moment for us in the last four years. Please Gigi, say it ain't so!
