Herman Hessian Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Inter reportedly on the point of closing a deal for Angle Di Maria from PSG as a replacement for Ivan Perisic who'll be a United player shortly... hope that Inter, Roma et al continue to strengthen - a competitive season will make a change after Juve's continued - and extraordinarily tedious - dominance... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ludo*1 Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I don't understand the willingness of Juventus or Bonucci to go to AC. AC are a massive, massive club no doubts - historically probably bigger than Juve but this doesn't seem to benefit Juve or Bonucci. Of course, he'll earn more money but why would Juve not be willing to match it for what is arguably one third of the best defensive partnership in the world?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Juventus fans forums seem to say this was why Bonucci and Alves left. This is an iffy translation of it I found on twitter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Roma at risk of falling behind the two Milan clubs again. Failed miserably to take advantage of this spell where they've been so poor. Granted Juventus have been all powerful but a lot of stupid dropped points have cost us big time. Mahrez would be a good signing but need more. Holding on to Naingolan (spelling) is a must if we want to seriously compete at all next season Edit: That'll do nicely http://www.beinsports.com/us/serie-a/news/radja-nainggolan-wont-be-sold-by-roma/593456?utm_content=buffer524d3&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an iffy translation of it I found on twitter Tbf, I'd have had a swipe at Dybala during the CL final, he was absolutely honking. Also hooked not long after half time? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He lasted until the 78th minute seemingly. It just felt like he was hooked 5 minutes into the 2nd half. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was absolutely invisible the entire game, properly went missing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that Akragas, Catanzaro, Maceratese, Mantova and Messina were in trouble but nothing more has been said on them so I assume that they're fine. Confirmed teams that won't play in Serie C next season: Como, Latina (but actually Fondi), Maceratese, Mantova and Messina Teams that have been excluded but are appealing the decision: Akragas, Arezzo, Fidelis Andria, Juve Stabia and Modena The five confirmed teams could be replaced by any of the following: Triestina, Rende, Rieti, Lumezzane, Varese, Vis Pesaro 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It had been suspected that Como was just seen as a little plaything for Essien's wife. Given some of the stories that have come out, those suspicions were accurate. That's a lovely shirt too. Have a greenie for that shirt. Edited July 15, 2017 by Allan Jacobsen 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brightside Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It's still daft to sell the best defender in the world, they'd already got rid of Alves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 It's still daft to sell the best defender in the world, they'd already got rid of Alves. I dunno. They have Chiellini and Barzagli, and Rugani too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 (edited) todays h'updates from the banks of the Adige; coach Pecchia drivelling on about needing more depth in the centre of the defence; club are keeping tabs on Sulley Muntari (only 32 by all accounts...) who's now a free agent having managed to be complicit in Pescara's relegation during his six month stint at Il Stadio Adriatico; a 4-0 win in the first vaguely meaningful friendly against U S Triestina; goals from Pazzini, Valoti, Bruno Zuchulini and Luppi; one centre half who won't be answering Pecchia's call - Matteo Bianchetti - on loan to Spezia and Empoli over the last couple of seasons who's just undergone emergency surgery for the removal of a "subdural hematoma of the sacral marrow" whatever that may be - sounds nasty; two months on the sidelines before he'll undergo further evaluation...

The sacral bone connects the spine to the coccyx according to Google. If he's bruised that, I'd imagine it'll be mildly uncomfortable. Didn't know that Pecchia was at Verona. Had two spells at Napoli...sadly, I only remember his loan spell in the 2000/01 season when they got relegated - again. Also, I haven't seen it posted here but I see that Alessio Cerci has joined Verona. Hopefully he shows the form that resulted in Atletico Madrid signing him.
