Juventus announced the signing of Montenegro forward Mirko Vucinic

The 27-year-old Montenegro forward Mirko Vucinic signed a €13.1 million, 3 year deal with Juventus. Vucinic is to be transferred from Roma and will take his starter position as the 5th Juventus signing this year, which already includes such players as Stephan Lichsteinerfrom  from Lazio, Andrea Pirlo from AC Milan, Arturo Vidal from Bayer Leverkusen and Reto Ziegler from of Sampdoria.

Juventus is hoping to erase the bad memories of the uneventful 2010-2011  Italian Seria A season with some help from newcomers, such as Mirko Vucinic. However, no satisfaction for those who wanted to see Vucinic in  a Roma uniform this year.

"Juventus have done well to take Vucinic, he's a great signing," Savicevic, Former AC Milan forward and current Montenegro Football Federation president, said in his interview.

"And now that he's matured this transfer will allow him to take a definite step up in quality.

"He could have gone to Chelsea or Manchester United because Mirko has the ability to play in big clubs and he deserves it.

"Football goes in cycles, as happened with Milan. After some tough seasons Juventus should get back to being one of the best."

Ronaldinho hopeful to jump start with Flamengo

Rio Flamengo fans came out by thousands to greet the signing of the world-class Brazilian striker Ronaldinho, who has agreed to transfer to Flamengo from AC Milan.

However there are those, who are not so optimistic about the transfer.

"Ronaldinho is close to being an ex-player," sports daily Lance! wrote.

 "The club has entered into despair, a result of the team's awful campaign last year. The amount of money involved is unrealistic for Brazilian soccer. And it gets worse. The club has made the investment without knowing if he really wants to play, given that recently he's been seen more on the dance floor than on the pitch."

No doubt that Ronaldinho has not shown his top form since 2006 World Cup, while showing mediocre results in AC Milan, but the football player of such magnitude with a right team and under right circumstances could ignite his career and boost Flamengo in the race for the Brazilian Championship.
