Italian Football Thread

Yeah saw that match live . That slimeball deserved to see red . Inter are getting away with one too many decisons. last week , abate was wrongly sent off when pandev was the main culprit. But anyways, kudos benitez , you have one last chance to prove your ranks to the club. Seriously inter fans just wont be able to tolerate the nonsense he is bringing to the club after a period of 5 golden years wher they have been simply unstoppable

Milan look to set to sign Antonio Cassano. Logically, this makes little sense, even if it is on a free. But Cassano is one of my all time favourite players, and to see the enigma that is Cassano at Milan will be amazing. Berlusconi has said that Ronaldinho is a better player in an interview about it, and Allegri said that he wants to keep Ronaldinho, so it'll be very interesting to see what happens. Pato to be sold on to Chelsea perhaps?

It's all over the internet that Benitez has been sacked, but there's no official reports. It looks very likely though, with Luciano Spalletti and Leonardo the favourites.

Wouldn't be surprised after his "back me or sack me" calls...

Word is, is that Cassano wants to pay the 5mil owed to Madrid just so that he can play for Milan. You have to give Milan credit, they run a good financial system.

As much as I'd like to keep Ronnie, with Cassano on board, it'll be really hard for him to find game time. He'll get fed up with the rotation. Better off leaving for a club to find regular football, though that does have a major positive - free a lot of cash used to fund his wages.

Rafa is officially sacked! Back to Liverpool perhaps?

 

[mattfb]

I wish.

Leonardo looks like the only viable option to replace Benitez. Inter can't afford Spalletti.

Sevilla wanted Benitez before he went to Inter so don't be surprised if that's where he ends up.

Ronaldinho has also agreed a deal with Gremio.

This

As a matter of fact , he is enjoying his holidays now at Liverpool so there is every chance for he to be back

Goals galore at the San Siro between AC Milan and Udinese as the game ended 4-4. Must watch the highlights of that one.

The draw means Inter Milan have closed the gap a little bit for now and Lazio looked to have gone off the boil after dropping points again.

Cassano never ceases to amaze me. Truly amazing footballer.

Are you for real?

The same cassano who failed so badly at real madrid and has never looked the part as an international.

Being a success in serie a does not cut it for me, its a very poor league.

Cassano is by far and away the most talented Italian footballer of his generation. The fact that he managed to fall out with just about everyone he's worked with, blown his chances with top clubs and managers like Capello and Madrid, and become an overweight crybaby is just part of him. That is Cassano, and is brilliant all the same.

For all his failures, I still love him. He's an unpredictable genius. The stuff he can produce is just ridiculous, but then at the same time can just do absolutely nothing for 90 minutes.

lol how is Serie A a poor league? Inter are the World Champions, Milan have some of the most talented attackers of this era, Napoli have a great manager and a side filled with creatively excellent players, Juventus, Palermo and Roma are all good sides as well. To simply call it a poor league is just plain ludicrous.

I guess he (Lee) is going by the fact that the italian clubs have been dreadful in European competitions this year . All 3 italian clubs in the champions league finished runner ups in their respective groups while Napoli were the only team to progress to the round of 32 in the europa league out of the 4 italian clubs that participated . And not to mention , napoli wer 60 seconds away from elimination before Cavani (i guess so) headed home a corner against Steuea .

On the subject of Cavani...

He backheeled it in for his hattrick! Seriously the signing of the season, been in brilliant form.
