Hands off Stephen!!!

The transfer rumours are always hard to stomach for any fan, but this one is just ridiculous! Stephen Lichtsteiner to PSG/ Chelsea, PSG have already taken 3 rather big names from Serie A in Ibramovich, Thiago Silva and Lavezzi- are they not done yet?! It's not as though this has been a winning formula for them, PSG have draw their opening two games. They must realise that you can't just take all the best players, put them in one team and expect to win everything. Achieving a winning mentality take time and teamwork, not just a group of very talented individuals, just ask Brazil's Olympic football team, all the tricks and flicks don't guarantee trophies!

I expect this from PSG as they seem to have money falling from the sky, and I guess the media has something to do with it as well! But why are Juventus even entertaining the idea? He was a gem last season with his amazing runs up and down the right flank- at one point it actually seemed like he was going to collapse because he ran so much. Not only that, it was his passes and vision that helped Juve win and win undefeated last season. I'm sure they don't need the money, the new stadium should be helping out there, but not only that, he fit in with the group and the style of play with ease, how long do you think it will take for someone new to replicate what he did?! Another minor detail they seen to be forgetting.... They are going to be competing in the Champions League next season and they're going need a player like him, someone who is willing to run himself into the ground to ensure victory.
The Old Lady should do her best to keep him, but after they subbed him in the "friendly" against Milan, I fear the worst.
