That's where I got that quote from.

I dont really rate Marchisio at all tbh

RGK is a mentalist.

Don't you, Edin? I'm a big fan. Who would you play instead?

I think he compliments Pirlo really well. Montolivo is a better footballer but I don't think you really need him in the same team as Pirlo.

Dunno mate, havent seen too much of him tbf but whenever I have (maybe it has been in the few games he has played badly), he has been carried by the rest of his midfield.

Didnt he recently just have some stat that he didnt score/assist in 1200 mins of football. Despite being a key attacking midfielder?

Unsure as to who I would play though tbh, cant quite work out whats best for this Italian team. I loved the 4312 they played a while back, or when De Rossi played in the backline during the Euros

He's not been very good this season to be fair. Usually contributes a respectable amount of goals and assists for a cm. I think he just gets outshone by Vidal and Pirlo so it's no wonder he doesn't look immense.

Yeah De Rossi was class at the back but I still prefer him in the middle.

With four at the back the diamond with Totti as the number ten has to be done for the good of football.

I have only seen Juve once this season tbf, but I wasnt even convinced when I saw him internationally.

I actually liked Giovinco, but think he is probably gone downhill. Maybe Diamanti, good player.

Giovinco is the Italian Nani.

They should call him Nonna.

Italy playing in Craven Cottage tomorrow £30 v Nigeria

Hiya Henrik, this place been slow recently?

I was wondering if you could take a look at this link for me mate. I was wondering if we could maybe talk about the idea over on the link if you don't mind mate?

Predictor starts back this week.

Juve will go top this weekend thats my prediction

Remember your predictions then.

Elsewhere, Barbara Berlusconi, has apparently already lined up Clarence Seedorf for the Milan job- from next season. Milan have made their worst start to a league season in over 30 years, since the 1981/82 season where they were relegated:

Former Arsenal player Eduardo is being linked with Inter:

And Higuain is now fully fit and ready to "make history" in Naples:

Seedorf

If Milan had any brains they'd sack Allegri and appoint Hiddink as manager until the end of the season and then get a manager with some modicum of experience.

i reckon Prandelli might get the Milan Job next season

Wonder if Capello would be tempted?

I've actually predicted Milan to win this weekend, although Genoa is hardly a formality for them.

Seedorf was a great player, but he has no experience to walk into the Milan job.

Allegri must have something on Berlusconi- not that that would be hard knowing how corrupt he is. Can't understand why they're persisting with him.

That's possible, Mex. I guess a lot will depend on who takes over for Italy.

Henrik, it's a strange one. Milan under Berlusconi don't really sack their managers through the season that often - for a Serie A club anyway.

If you look at the history of their managers in his tenure I think they've only sacked a few managers during the season.

or Prandelli and Conte might exchange jobs, although i cant really see Conte leaving club football at this stage in his career

It is strange that Darren, you wouldn't think he'd be so patient, although he is probably busy fighting court cases...

Yeah it's a weird one. I've rationalised it as some backward ethical code that he has with regard to managers.

Hard to say, Mex. He's young and he is Juve so you'd think he'd want to stay and continue his great work.

On the other hand managers generally don't seem to stay around for the long term at the big Italian clubs.

Italy have some brilliant coaches/managers at the moment. I wish we had that in England.

The impressive thing is that the list of top Italian managers are all so different as well.

i think Conte is one of the top 3 Coaches in europe and really hope he stays at Juve, i think he can win the CL in the next 3-5 years if he does
