Our first team does not look very deep at all. I'm definitely not sold on Sinisa yet but the club just isn't buying him the same kinds of players that it was buying for Prandelli.

It's kind of disturbing that we only have two real central midfielders, one of which is as far as I'm concerned already a goner.
There is a lot concerning me these days about this club. I think back to the matches against Liverpool, etc. just a few years ago and I just don't get it.
Absolutely right. In a couple days I expect to have Behrami plus the Primavera. And HuntKop: I think that's Felipe with the Dodgers cap.

Have Fiorentina released their full friendly schedule? Are they playing anything in mid-early-August? I'll be visiting Firenze for a few days and would love to catch a game around that time. e: I should add that I've been searching on the Internet and the viola site for about 20 minutes and could find nothing about fixtures in August for Fiorentina.
Next week we switch to the second phase of our summer training in San Piero a Sieve. That lasts two weeks, I think, and then we go to England for a friendly against Newcastle on August 6. I would think that we would have at least one other friendly during that trip and then we should come back to the area in and around Firenze to finish up our preparation.
Do you have any specifics about the schedule after the Newcastle friendly? I'm specifically interested in Fri 12 Aug and Sat 13 Aug.
I'll keep my ear to the ground to let and let you know. Assuming we are back from England (I haven't heard of any more matches but I gotta think there will be) then I would think either a friendly versus our Primavera (U21) team or against a local Serie C-ish side.
They'll be coming off a friendly versus Barcelona (August 3) and I doubt they'd be willing to make the jump in class to play us so soon...
I just posted it to point out that some of Gamberini, Montolivo (if he's still around), De Silvestri, Marchionni and Gilardino might not be around.
I'm pretty sure I read that the Serie A schedule will be released this upcoming weekend and I know I heard somewhere that the first match weekend will be that of August 27-28. We always start a bit later than the rest.
