ADP cant play a full season as starter. he was on fire at the start of the season but sort of fade away like the rest of our team, so i think even with ADP back, our problem is not resolved yet. anyway i m still dont understand why nedved wasnt given a contract last season. if camo, who is old and injury prone gets injured (hopefully not), our midfield face a bit of a creativity drain.

j He said himself that he wanted to call it a career and spend more time with his family and his kids. I don’t blame him. Idk if there was a contract issue, but I guess we won’t know unless something comes out in the future. I really really hope not.

What if Amauri changes his number back to 8? Maybe that will solve the problem :p

ADP has and always will be better than Amauri. I never liked Amauri and was skeptical when we bought him. His “performances” this season have proved my point.
Sign Giuseppe Rossi in Jan/Summer and bench Amauri. Or sell him:)

about nedved, i thought the reason why nedved didnt sign was because the contract offered by secco wasnt good enough, maybe is the length or the salary?

anyway, giovinco was playing as left wing right, during his man-of-the-match performance against bologna last season. not sure if i remember correctly, if thats the case then he may have anothe chance in a 4-4-2 formation.

J, the reasons behind Nedved retiring are still mucky. He said he wanted to run, but maybe he was being too polite to badmouth the management.

J is right about ADP. He cannot play a full season starting every match, right now he can start once a week and he’ll be good. In the second half of last season, he played twice a week often and you could tell it weighed on his performances.

Tuttosport (so it’s bullshit, and it’s internationals week) is reporting that Dzeko wants to join Juve. Maybe Brazzo can give him a call?

Ale I read that too, and I almost broke my ribs laughing soo hard at the comments from ppl making fun of Tuttosport’s bullshit. Here’s a funny ass one:

TUTTOSPORT: MESSI IERI NN HA DIGERITO TRP LA PAELLA (O COME DIAVOLO SI SCRIVE)….PER QUESTA RAGIONE I SUOI RAPPORTI CON LAPORTA SONO ANDATI A FARSI FOTTERE….AL MOMENTO DELLA SCELTA DELLA FUTURA SOCIETà, IL BUON LEO HA SCRITTO I NOMI DELLE PIU BLASONATE SOCIETà EUROPEE IN DEI BIGLIETTINI KE DOPO ESSERE STATI SORTEGGIATI PROPRIO DA LUI HA SCOPERTO KE IL DESTINO VUOLE KE VADA ALLA JUVE….
IN AGGIUNZIONE TUTTO SPORT, KE IN REDAZIONE HA PURE IL MIGLIOR VEGGENTE D TUTTI I TEMPI, HA GIA PREDETTO KE LA STESSA SORTE COLPIRà I BUON VEKKI C.RONALDO E RIBERY…

Hahahaha that was good stuff. Paella is delicious, it’s too bad Messi won’t be around it for long.

Camoranesi and Poulsen score for their national teams.

Yes, Poulsen. What the fuck!

In English:
TUTTOSPORT: Messi yesterday had trouble digesting the paella that he was eating…Because of this, his relationship with Laporta went to hell…When the moment came to start looking for his future club, good old Leo decided to write the names of the most renowned European teams in little stickies and upon mixing them together and drawing a lucky sticky, he discovered that fate wants him to go to Juve. Also Tuttosport, who has the best fortune-teller of all time in their editorial, has predicted that the same fate is awaiting CR9 and Ribery!

Actually Alessio, it was Jakob Poulsen who scored for Denmark, not our Poulsen.

Sofia… Give Amauri a bit more credit plz… I remember you giving a backslap to many in here when they were criticising Giovinco. So give Amauri a little more time, and when we start using him, like one should, as a deep striker, then is the time to judge. He always works hard, creates time for the midfielders to infiltrate and when he’s in the area more often with Gio or Alex around him, he will deliver.
He can not score goals like Trezeguet or Iaquinta from outside the box, but a few good crosses and he will get off the mark.

That said, I would prefer Trezeguet to start alongside Seba next week, the first really is hungry and I think he is about to find his old form, and the latter… Well, that’s obvious, I guess.

I say we throw Manninger in right away. Our defense will have to play much better knowing Gigi isn’t there to bail them out. Just like the last time Gigi went down for a while.

Jorid | October 11th, 2009 at 9:30 am

Totally agree with you Roberto. There’s also no point in letting Gigi play with a torn meniscus for a few more matches. It will only make matters worse and probably keep him out longer in his rehab phase. Manninger ASAP.

He wants to wait until December 5th? Like 2+ months? That makes little sense to me.

Fucking injuries.

biggest loss of the season Nedved…… Nedved 37 still better than Poulsen, Tiago. I would trade Nedved for those two
