Stickied Italian Football

[Ligue 1 fan]

I think Kondogbia is close to becoming the complete midfielder. He's an athlete, strong, can attack and defend.
I think the price tag is justified -given what Sterling is "valued" at.

He won't be too much of a lose for Monaco as they have players in that position and will sign Thomas Lemar.

As a milan fan im kinda disappointed on not getting kondogbia but I also think he should be waaaay cheaper than that
Also fuck mate not even martinez coming...
I still believe in galliani tho he's a very wise man and he used to do the ''shopping'' even with 0 mill so having that money could help him build something concrete.
And they are talking about bacca atm for milan but i think he would be useless..he's too old for milan we'll see

 

[JimJams]

28 year old Bacca is too old for Milan but you were ok with 29 year old Martinez?

 

[PE3A]

they're same age and martinez looks more athletic if that makes sense

 

[JimJams]

Ah, I thought Jackson was a little older than he is. He is actually the slightly older of the pair though so your reasoning still makes no sense. Despite looking more athletic!

 

[yellow]

yes

Where have the Italian clubs suddenly got all their money from? Or have they just been careful over the past few years?

BREAKING: Parma have been declared bankrupt, and will have to begin again from the amateur leagues.

 

[mistermagic]

Ah well. Should be good fun. New beginning and all that.

Where have the Italian clubs suddenly got all their money from? Or have they just been careful over the past few years?

Some clubs got bought by some Asian guy or summat. Finally some money in football. Been reading loads of reports stating that most of the clubs are broke and can't compete. I think we are witnessing a fresh start though what with higher TV rights and investors putting money in big clubs.

 

[Whitechapel]

I remember a couple of seasons back (When Juve signed Llorente) That they could only pay in instalments. Seems Italian football is long overdue a comeback.

 

[Super_horns]

Diego Parotti is supposed to be signing for us...what sort of player is he (a winger I understand)

Tbh as an italian i never noticed him playing..maybe because i dont watch genoa but he looks like a versatile player i guess

I wonder if Italian football is just so much more corrupt than the rest of Europes big leagues or actually that their policing efforts are just far more efficient.

 

[Smally]

Napoli sign Pepe Reina permanently from Bayern

Roma sign Bertlocci back from Genoa

 

[PE3A]

Well italy is corrupt as fuck...
Roma signed Ezequiel Ponce btw

here's a vid about him i made

 

[Super_horns]

Can anyone tell me much about José Holebas - looks like we are set to sign him.

But then we've been linked with so many players from Italy this summer its untrue!

 

[mistermagic]

The usual then.

Solid left-back for Greece and Roma. Reckon he's after the monies since the Italians have no money. Could be a good fit for Watford.

 

[PE3A]

So Bacca joined Milan yeah, I'm more excited about bertolacci even tho we paid him 20 mil and he's just a young forward from genoa.
Thoughts on him?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Hernán Crespo has been named the new head coach of Serie B side Modena on a one-year deal. His first managerial job.

You sure about that? Yet to see a credible source claiming it. Methinks it's another Jackson Martinez...

 

[PE3A]

Luiz Adriano is now an AC MILAN player too :hesk:
Finally some decent players

 

[mistermagic]

Monies innit.

 

[voltage]

It's a pity that Pirlo is leaving Serie A.

 

[PE3A]

For those who love this man (kaka) like me

[Bromo18]

I personally think that Juventus signing Sami Khedira on a free transfer has been the signing of the summer so far

 

[Ebeneezer Goode]

Ravel Morrison has been given the #7 shirt at Lazio. Fans seem to love him already. Hope he can sort himself out there. Reckon being away from some of his mates in Manchester will do him good.

 

[smat]

Wojiech Szczesny is joining Roma on loan, and the Guardian reckon Roma can buy him for £3.5m at the end of the season. I'd be really disappointed if that proves to be the case. Still think he's better than Ospina and, at 25, has plenty of time to develop.

 

[Libertadores FC]

Citadella won 15-0 in the Coppa Italia yesterday.

 

[Stevencc]

Strootman is out for the season due to injury
