Trezeguet Stays at Juve; World Wonders When He’ll Go Away

By: Martha | June 26th, 2007

Well, would you look at that — David Trezeguet has pledged his future to Juve, signing a four-year contract extension and telling the press: “I am proud to tie my name to this club for another four seasons. I have made an important choice for my career and for my life. This is a club that has given me a lot, and I want to stay with them and win more.” Man, all that love just makes me go all squishy inside.

I can’t help but wonder, though, what happened to the David Trezeguet who, barely two weeks ago, was throwing angry “See ya!” gestures at Juve ownership, and had spent pretty much the last 12 months endlessly whining about the club’s lack of respect for His Majesty. Could it be that no one loves poor David as much as he does, and none of the copious rumored offers we’ve been reading about (Carefully placed in the media, one begins to suspect, by Trezeguet’s agent.) contain the massive buckets of cash he was hoping to find outside of Turin? No, my mistake — it’s all about the love. What was I thinking?

With recent media reports also suggesting the return of both Pavel Nedved (who apparently won’t be retiring after all) and Mauro Camoranesi to Turin, I think we’ve found our early leader in the race for the Most Complaint-Laden Team of 2007-2008. How many days of pre-season training do you think it’ll take for Claudio Ranieri to regret giving in to the Old Lady’s voluptuous charms?

  I would have thought that Arsenal’s Wenger would have wanted to replace Henry with Trezzie… But apparently not even Arse would spend money on Princess David, so I guess all hopes of cashing in on him are over.

  Oh well, at least he’s good for like 19 goals and will hopefully add some extra drama; plus he can draw public attention to traditional Italian hand gestures, like this one:

  They probably negotiated the whole deal in hand gestures. Juve gave a gesture that said “what do you want?”. Trez made the “show me the money” gesture with his hand. Juventus proceeded to write up a contract and then gave it to him and gave him the “writing with a pen” gesture. Trez then looked it over, gave them a “thumbs up”, and signed. Then they shook hands. And not a word was spoken.

  Franco, you’re a genius! If all negotiations were conducted in that manner, I’m sure there would never have been any confusion over where Suazo will play next year.

  btw, what would be the gesture for “how come Zlatan got to go to Inter but I didn’t?”

  Mike — 19 goals? Really? After scoring 15 in Serie B? Man, you ARE a Juve fan, aren’t you? (: (And the gesture you’re asking about consists of Ibra flicking Trazeguet off while giving him that smug, Zaltan-grin.)

  Francesco — you left out the hairy bit where Trezeguet accidentally made the international sign for I hate accountants (if anyone gets that reference I will be stunned), ala Dr Stangelove and his arm with a mind of its own. Negotiations, however, were salvaged when Pavel Nedved burst into the room and did a quick song and dance routine, successfully distracting everyone from the offense and allowed Trez to sneak out with his money.

  So 19 is a lil’bit ambitious, but we all know that love is blind, love is a many splendored thing, love lifts us up where we belong, all you need is… ok, I’ll stop.

  I guess no chance of seeing SuperJohnny Rossi in black and white next season. Damn it.

  Why is it that footballers named DAVID always bring the drama?

  Wow, so even though Trez told them where to go, they still accepted him back. (LOL Curry Chicken)

  Martha, is that picture the gesture that he did?

  It is Nelly, yeah. And the video is in link under “throwing angry gestures,” so you can see his (physical) whining in action.
