Would be a brilliant deal for him and hope it happens

Isn't Lucas Neill the Socceroos captain? That just degrades the reliability a bit.

nd Tottenham, a team that didn't qualify for Europe this season managed to beat your reigning Italian and European champions last season.

I still disagree.

Napoli beat Man City yesterday in Champions League.

Napoli is sitting 10th on the Serie A ladder.
Man City is first in the supposedly best league in the world.

Just shows that the quality in Serie A is spread out more compared to the EPL where its just in the top 3 or so teams.

I agree, Serie A is probably more entertaining than the EPL.

But I think that bowden guy was talking about in terms of team quality in which case he would be right. :D

AUSSIE soccer superstar Tim Cahill has denied any knowledge of rumours linking him with Italian giants Juventus.

The Socceroos midfielder "signed with Everton for life'' when he tied himself to the English club until the end of 2014, but that has not stopped rival clubs from circling.

Cahill told the 2KY's Big Sports Breakfast program this morning he has not been told by his management of any interest from rival European clubs.

"For me, I know nothing about any stories, rumours, or papers saying that,'' Cahill said.

"I always just concentrate on my football.

"The one thing I don't do is invite it. If there is any truth in it then the club will deal with it.''

Cahill said Everton have no choice but to stand up this weekend and climb into the top half of the English Premier League.

He should be telling Australia that he will come to the A-league but only to a West Sydney team. Might get things happening finally. But then I would have to hate him...

Better league? Really? Have you looked at the current tables for both leagues? Serie A is MUCH closer between the top half of the table compared to the EPL.
Serie A 1st to 10th there is 7 points difference (22pts to 15pts)
EPL 1st to 10th there is 20 points difference. (34pts to 14pts)

So tell me which is a much more competitive league where the mid to low tables teams consistently steal points and wins from the upper tier teams?

Juventus are also top of the table on goal difference...with a game in hand!

Juventus have priorities in defence over an attacking midfielder like Cahill.

Personally think both have their merits but Juventus > Everton

Juventus are currently top of Seria A (albeit on goal difference) and are a good shot of playing Champions League or Europa League football, much more than what he gets at Everton.

Everton are going to have to battle off reported interest from Italy for their star player Tim Cahill who is wanted by Juventus.

The Australian Captain has been a revelation at Everton since his move from Millwall in 2004 and has scored 54 goals in 204 appearances and earning his place amongst the supporters team of the year on several occasions and has constantly been Everton’s savior though he was linked with a move away from Goodison Park after their financial situation has resulted in selling key players and Sunderland and Chelsea were rumoured to be interested in the 31-year-old.

Reports in Italy are suggesting that Juventus are interested in bringing the Australian international to Turin and are working on a financial package and its thought that Manager Antonio Conte will send scouts to watch the player who would find the lure of Juventus far to strong given their aim to return to Champions League football, something Cahill himself has said he wants to taste again as a player.

Cahill will not come cheap even though his advancing years mean he is coming to the later stages of his career and a bid of around £15million should be enough to persuade Everton to sell.
