By: roberto | 49 Comments
According to reports, the D’Agostino deal has broken down on account of Poulsen’s unwillingness to live in Turkey… well sort of. The Turkish giants offered Juventus €7.5 million for the Danish international and another €4.5 million a year for four years as the player’s salary. However the defensive midfielder turned it down. While he’ll only be making €3 million a season with Juventus, Poulsen admitted sometimes it’s not all about the dough. Read the rest of this entry »

First of all my heart goes out to those of you who’ve been waiting awhile for this piece. Truth be told, every time I started it I got carried away watching You Tube videos of him from adoring Werder Bremen fans with everything from Tina Turner to Autobahn inspired trance soundtracks. Their admiration for this guy is truly something to behold. Finally though following alongside the post on our mercato arrivals, we now present the first official biographical post on our newest signing, Diego Ribas da Cunha.

Love him or hate him, Cannavaro is about to equal Maldini’s record of Italy caps. Tonight though they’re in tough with Brazil since they need to beat them by two goals to qualify for the semi-finals. Fucking Azzurri, why do they always have to make it so hard for themselves? Read the rest of this entry »
So Long, Viking Warrior!

I never saw this coming, no doubt. The crystal ball failed me on this one, you’ll notice there was no mention of Olof Mellberg leaving Juve in the departures post, though I did mention his name when I said I expected a right-back to leave. After a mixed year in Turin, it seems the suits have officially decided to send Mellberg packing to Olympiakos in Greece, for a 2-2.5million euro fee.
What a stupid move. Read the rest of this entry »
The D’Agostino Deal
By: alessio | 104 Comments
Everyone thought, myself included, that Diego would be the dragged-out mercato aim of this summer. Given his price, Bremen’s reluctance to let him go, and Secco’s past with Amauri, I figured negotiations would go on endlessly and eventually result in us overpaying or signing Taddei as his substitute. Secco had been discussing the deal for a while and thankfully wrapped it up quickly. Read the rest of this entry »
