Juve transfer guru Luciano Moggi insists Juve are still the Scudetto favourites and that they don't regret leaving Alberto Gilardino to Milan.

“I don’t consider the Rossoneri to be superior to Juventus,” said the director general in an interview with Radio Radio. “They are on a par with us and Inter.”

In what has so far been a relatively quiet summer on the transfer front, Milan have been the most active with the arrival of Marek Jankulovski, Johann Vogel, Christian Vieri and former Parma hitman Gilardino. It was strongly reported the 23-year-old striker was on Juve’s wish-list as well as that of Chelsea.

“We did not challenge Milan for Gilardino’s signature because we have Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Adrian Mutu, Alessandro Del Piero, David Trezeguet and Marcelo Zalayeta,” assured Moggi. “It was an excellent move for them, but I don’t think he is any better than our strikers and our best tactic is to avoid clutter in the squad.”

This could well include some stellar departures, as after Enzo Maresca’s move to Sevilla and Alessio Tacchinardi’s switch to Villarreal, now Fabrizio Miccoli is set to leave the Stadio delle Alpi.

“He is a player who always manages to score 13-15 goals per season. There aren’t many of his like around and Miccoli is also very young,” stated the director general. However, it is reported that the former Fiorentina hitman has been offered to Inter in an exchange deal for Cristiano Zanetti.

“Inter have certainly reinforced their squad, especially with the arrival of David Pizarro and Walter Samuel. Milan and Juventus have also brought in champions such as Patrick Vieira, so we’ll see who comes out on top. I think we have created a strong foundation for the squad and we don’t need any other players.”

It looks to be a three-horse race once again for the Serie A title, but Moggi sees the influence of smaller sides increasing this year.

“I believe Juve, Milan and Inter will fight it out for the top spot, but fourth place is a battle between Sampdoria, Palermo and a little further behind Udinese,” he concluded. “Roma could be in there if they didn’t have this transfer embargo, which I consider to be rather over the top. We have a good rapport with President Franco Sensi’s club and all past misunderstandings have been clarified.”

they will regret it wen sheva and him score 50 goals together which i think they will do all they need is a bit of support from the mid and they will get a load of goals

Keep talking Moggi (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

He's just jealous (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

[Milan Are Brilli...]

Yes he is jealous, however they might get Antonio Cassano but I would still much rather super Gila.

Cassano is great talent but awful person.He's selfish , undisciplined, bad tempred, nothing like a team player.He involved himself in confrontation with every single manager he worked with - including Capello.

Never wanted him at MILAN and HOPE he will never come

I would be extremelly surprised if he did with all the top class attackers Milan boast at the moment.

Haha, I'm glad someone posted it (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Whilst he has undeniable talent, I wouldn't really like to see him at Milan for pretty much of all the reasons you have listed.

Maybe he'll prove me wrong next season!

Ach Moggi , shut up and be happy you made Juve even more defense playing .

I'm still wondering how Juve won last year scudetto , biggest joke I've ever seen . The evidence and replay footage was there ... (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

[Milan Are Brilli...]

Yeh anybody who watches Juve are once again going to stereotype the Italian League by saying it's defensive and boring.

[Nova]

Yeah ok , those who think the Seria A is boring are sometimes funny people. I had an Anderlecht fan telling me he hated Italian football , an Anderlecht fan !! (Probably his ex girlfriend had dumped him for an Italian) (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Another funny thing ... When the belgian commentators spoke about the Milan - Inter euroderby it was boring Italian stuff ... Then when Chelsea played against Liverpool this year they called it a tactical masterpiece (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Masterpiece my royal greek butt , THAT was boring !!

[Milan Are Brilli...]

Yes, Liverpool V Chelsea was a disgrace to the English game. Hopefully people will see how not every team is defensive in Italy for example Milan especially after watching the CL final.

[Nova]

It wont help ... People here still think Real madrid is the best team on the planet. That's what they like , attacking football , results like 5-4 etc etc ... And BIG BIG transfers like zidane and beckham (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Really an idiotic country when it comes to football ...

[amancik]

they used to be the best ... they need good defenders if they want to stay on top ...
