KJ don’t worry I’m sure Secco has 3 players lined up to buy back Lanzafame.

Johonna, that link is a joke. Giovinco is bianconero, and while I don’t necessarily expect him to spend his entire career at the club he’ll be here for at least 4-5 years. This kinda shit gets made up by the media anytime contract negotiations go slowly. Remember when Mancini said he’d love to sign Nedved?

Mourinho, sure I hate Inter but I like to discuss all things footy. He may say that, but I cannot see him playing with 3 out-and-out strikers. He loves wingers, look how many he had at Chelski. Wright-Phillips, Malouda, Kalou, Cole. I’m expecting a 4-3-3, maybe two CF’s in Cruz/Adriano and Ibra supported by Mancini/Quaresma/etc, and Figo on the left of course.

I just got my from Italy, and it seems the entire juventus nation is split on the poulsen signing…that includes former members of the club…I think that deep down ranieri and secco wanted poulsen so that in their minds they can play with 3 forwards as often as they want….sissoko and poulsen in the midfield behind amauri, del piero, and trez…allows for some coverage…in my opinion, they still need to work on the defense…only time will tell, if this works out..

Hey, Alessio, I thought that juve had sewn Giovinco up… The rag (read goal.com) is saying there is trouble in Torino and the English clubs are looking to pounce! Say it isnt so!

That way, If other want it, they just need to ask over on the inter blog and I can send it to them – and no one gets spamed at home!

alessio (and anyone else who is interested), Mourinho gave a long interview to the Gazzetta where he talked quite a bit about tactics (particuarly the 4-3-3 and his belief in “triangles” that always provide the player with the ball with at least two options). It isn’t on line, but I have a pdf of it and would be happy to email it to anyone who is interested.
