He has close links at board room level at Juventus predominantly through the media - by all accounts they made an enquiry for the player and this was the answer, I am seeing the guy tomorrow so will ask questions. I joked and said well I thought you (Juventus) were after Pelle but they are 50/50 on this one, some love the idea, some hate it from the terraces to the boardroom.
I'm sure it's rubbish to, but like some have said, it has an air of legitimacy in the link with Ron and the guy who told me I have known for years and he has always been genuine and never really cared to talk about Southampton so I don't question he is passing something he believes to be true on.
It's there to be shot down I know, but does it really matter.
