etóo to Chelsea on a free geat deal for them

I love Pazz but don't see where he fits in anymore and with talk that Luca Toni may get an Italy recall with Balo and maybe Osvaldo banned thats the final nail in Pazz's Italy career I think

Doesn't Pazzini have a bad injury?

I dunno mate not seen anythin

If Luca Toni gets an Italy call-up again I will laugh my head off.

I used to rate Toni...he cost me big time at the 2006 world cup tho with my Italy/Toni double. Thankfully I had us to win it as a single too

Toni is the Italian Carroll. He probably will get a call up. Gilardino managed it.

I read in May that Pazzini had a knee operation and will be out for 6 months.

That would explain why they want Matri.

Fair enough Fletch

Cassano just behind Gila and Toni with Pepe and Diamanti on the wings

Italian Carroll.

Jo is Brazilian Carroll.

Wonder if there are a bunch of Carrolls for every country?

Brazil play Jo and they're on the brink of allowing Diego Costa to play for Spain. And people ask WHY I don't rate their chances in 2014!

Henrik

Any tall donkey is a Carroll. It's such a good way of describing a player.

Week 2 of the Italian football season, have Palermo changed their manager yet?

Really looking forward to seeing Juve this week against Lazio.

they can't sack Rino Gattuso that'd be an interesting meeting

I love Palermo's attitude towards managers. I shouldn't really but it's facking funny. What they did last year comic genius.

Yeah me too. Not seen Juve this season yet. Will be good to see how Tevez and Llorente get on.

Heard that Juve haven't won three titles in a row since the 30's. Will be interesting to see if they can this year. They are big favourites.

I won't have to wait long to see it going by their standards.

would rather Pran get Inzaghi to come back then give Toni a shout

Juve will win the title again this season but it'll be a close run thing for 2nd-5th

Tino- what is your background in terms of Italy, did you move there or something? I hope that's not a rude question, mate.

Dads a Wolf (as in from Wolves not an actual Canine) Mum's from Naples...Mum moved to Wolves they met got married they both moved to Naples had me we moved back to England in '86 I've been between the two for a while lived in Wolves,Naples,Florence,Genoa and Empoli am currently in Wolves but me mam and dad split he's here she's fecked off to Naples......I wanna live in Italy again but have a soon to be 10 year old daughter with an ex who I refuse to leave behind so I'm here for a while longer....it's strange I love Naples and Florence but Wolves feels like home

Very interesting mate- and it's Fiorentina you like isn't it? Not Napoli?

I want Roma to win the league in a swansong for Totti. But it doesn't bode well after selling Lamela and Osvaldo and bringing in Gervinho.

yer I like Napoli for reasons of blood and I like to see em do well but was living in Empoli so had a season ticket for Fiorentina for the season 96-99 so saw a lot of them and once you've seen Rui Costa and Batigol it's hard to not fall in love that said I saw Careca and Diego for Napoli

went to the Napoli Juve cup final season before last

Rui Costa

One of the most underrated players on these shores. Always loved that man. Was a little gutted at Kaka's breakthrough at Milan as it spelled the end for the Portuguese maestro.

Rui Costa- yeah he's never really remembered is he- when talking about recent greats? I mean he was an absolutely phenomenal player. I think Figo was underrated too.

I remember being in a pub in Wolves for the England v Portugal game 2004?

wearing an old Fiorentina shirt (sponsored by Nintendo) with Rui Costa "10" on the back I had to leave quickly

my old man has 3 clubs Wolves,Celtic,Juve

he always loved the 2 Paolo's Sousa and Montero
