senorsoupe Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) Emre Can has signed for Juventus on a free after he decided to leave Liverpool. That could be an unbelievable signing for them, I've rated Emre Can highly for the last couple of years, he's that sort of midfield engine that is under-appreciated but so important to a team.

Salvo Montalbano Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Thank goodness for that - surely the longest running transfer ever in the daily BBC Gossip Column. Seemed that every day since the start of the season there's been a story about this move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 the monster lives - Renzo Rosso's Frankenstein story is complete and a new club - Lanerossi Vicenza Virtus - emerge from the bankruptcy of the previous Vicenza club and, well, whatever's left of Bassano Virtus - nothing by the look of it; the new entity will play at Vicenza's old ground, and in Serie C, as things stand. Virtus's coach, who lead them to the play-offs last season - Giovanni Colella - will be in charge of the new club, so it would appear to be a big GTF to the Bassanese club and its supporters. elsewhere in Serie C, Mestre, Reggiana, Trapani, Cuneo, Juve Stabia and Pro Piacenza seem to be the latest runners and riders in the race to financial oblivion - but everything's fine in Vicenza because they are, apparently, aiming for a return to Serie A as soon as possible, so that's ok.... there's always been as Bassano section in the football pages of Il Giornale di Vicenza, but that's not been updated since the last week in May , and all I can find is a brief note in a more local paper that "a new club has been reborn, which will start in the basement" - quite where that is at the moment, i'm not sure... hey ho - plus ca change - vaffanculo, b*****di che mangiano i gatti - per sempre Gialloblù 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their president is raging and sounds like he is one step away from releasing a list of people who have made an enemy out of him. There is also an insinuation that it's not just those six clubs who may not register for Serie C but they're the ones who are known just now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Jacobsen Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 It appears that Foggia may have been partaking in a spot of tax evasion. If they're found guilty then the recommendation is that they get relegated to Serie C. This would mean that Virtus Entella would most likely be reinstated in Serie B. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul-r-cfc Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Roma sign Ajaxs Justin Kluivert on a five-year deal. Good signing I'd say. Has looked promising and would imagine a few bigger clubs would have been interested pretty soon so good to nick in and get him tied down long term 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a merger with a Prima Categoria team, Mussolente. They've almost definitely ruled out starting in Serie D and probably Eccellenza. Promozione seems to be the most likely starting point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he's been injured of late, but surely his reputation was worth a punt - seems curious....

paul-r-cfc Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Sad to see Nainngolan go but that is a good whack of money for him and a very capable replacement. Hope this is a Monchi masterstroke and he's getting money before his game starts to decline. Time will tell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, it's heartening to know that UEFA are willing to drop the hammer on teams like this who are just play things for ultra rich people but there is still a certain hypocrisy in that the football arm of the Qatar government (PSG) are able to wriggle out of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think the suggestion is that they'll pay him €10m (or whatever) and at the same time he'll coincidentally sign a €20m a year deal to advertise FIAT cars. Whether that would get by UEFA and FFP I'm not sure... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other club, or player, and you'd call them mad for spending that amount on someone whos 33. Juventus seem to have a knack of making good transfer decisions though (who oversees these by the way? As someone who's not hugely observant, they do honestly seem to be almost flawless in the transfer market), and Ronaldos Ronaldo.

They've also got form for taking older players who some said were past it (Pirlo, Tevez) and getting a good few years of top performances from them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
