Stephan Lichtsteiner

With Azpi Cup tied there has been Rumours abouts Juventus Swiss Right Back Stephan Lichtsteiner, I have not seen much of him and maybe Swiss people or people here on the Forum who follows Italian Football can share your opinions on him?

Tbh i also know very little of him... Why is Azpi cup tied? i thought because he played in the europa league he can still play in the PL, assuming thats the cup your talking about and i am not missing something...

He is not cup tied

[capriccioso 2,545]

I say we pass on him.

181 cm and 69 kg, he doesn't have the physique expected for most PL defenders. He could be bullied off the ball by physically imposing wingers. That and Juventus will charge an arm and a leg.

Juventus are Serie A champions.

They're doing well financially.

They're trying to bulk up on high quality players for their first time in the Champions League in a while. They want depth; which they lacked last season.

They will not be selling their #1 right-back. Absolutely no way.

I am swiss and i dont think he is not chelsea quality.. And i dont believe that juve would sell him. He is a crazy guy and really gets on youre nerves so i dont want him here. He is better than bos but is already 28 and will never be world class! He also tends to get a lot of yellow cards!

If Marseille qualify for the Europa League he will be Cup Tied because of the 10 minutes he played yesterday guys

[OneMoSalah 8,776]

He is like 28 or something. No thanks. Also he isnt that good either.

Had the same thought but apparently, they have changed the rule.

Rules changed for Europa League and Champions League. No player can be cup-tied from any qualifying or play-off round (rule 18.07).

Dale Johnson ‏@dalejohnsonESPN

@joetodd85 No, they have changed the rules. No cup-tie rule for any qualifying round from this year. Many unaware of the change of rule.

Nice to hear!

Well Juve signed Mauricio Isla this window, so it remains to be seen if Lichtsteiner will continue as their #1 right-back & anyway, everyone has their price.

It's a shame Juve got Isla though, I would've liked us to go for him.

At least watch him before passing judgement. He was, by far, the best right back in Serie A last season and is absolutely CRUCIAL for Juve's play. Very solid at the back, attacks like a winger, and has a JT-like mentality.

I honestly rate him as one of the best RBs in the world, but we are more likely to sign Messi.

[Kepsu 1]

Totally agree with the post above.

He was superb last season like the whole Juve-team, and was on Zonal Marking's team of the season.

Chelsea have had a €6.5m bid rejected for Stephan Lichtsteiner. Juventus want €10m [Tuttosport]. #CFC

[edetarod 2,155]

if he was the best right back in Serie A last season and a crucial player for Juve, than why do they want to sell him for 10mil?

Nooooo hope not for €10-12 million we can get azpi for that! Cant believe this hope its not true!

[Madmax 9,219]

Seems more like a planted story to keep Azpilicueta and his agent in check.

Are you Azpilicueta's lover?
