Italy don't have much options after Belotti and Immobile, that the only reason why they need Balotelli. But I do think Balotelli won't be picked by Ventura, who knows if any coach will ever select him again. Might was well call it a day with Italy, he has only himself to blame.
Gabbiadini is a good backup option. He has done well since moving to southampton and did a great assist yesterday. And then we have Eder and Zaza. Yes they are not great, but as backups they are good options.
Bernardeschi has some of the best feet in Italian football. Maybe it was an off day but he normally is silky smooth on the ball and his passing is world class.
“Evaluating the technical characteristics and the investment required, we are not interested in Marco Verratti. We certainly won’t spend €100m on him,” noted Marotta. http://www.football-italia.net/104274/marotta-juve-dont-want-verratti Reality settling in yet fellas?.....
Football Italia says Bayern only offered 40m. http://www.football-italia.net/104328/verratti-sets-psg-ultimatum
TS, it might shock you but some people in this forum don't actually watch anything between the tournaments.
Why is no-one talking about Verratti. So he wants to leave PSG b/c they are fed up with his irresponsible partying lifestyle. His agent says he's worth $100m but the most he has been offered is 40. Juventus won't even offer that. So where will he end up? Thoughts?
I do not like his attitude. If he truly stated that PSG needs to bring champions for him to stay, then he is not the make of a champion. At this point of his career, he needs to state that he will carry the team. As flawed as Pogba has become getting big headed (no help from his idiot manager), he at least has tried to carry his sides even if he is not capable of doing so. I do not see that in Verratti.
lol at Pogba trying to carry teams. That was almost subtle. So he tried carrying his team while not giving his best? Interesting.... You two clowns need to increase the troll bait time for some sock puppet accounts to support Tottifan, I think.
clowns ? Bit of a strong word there..... What has Verratti really done anyways ? I cant think of many if one game where I was blown away by him. That doesnt mean he is a bad player he just isnt someone i'd lose my shit over if he were to miss a tournament or something...
Strong word, lol...stop clowning around you chooch. no one believes any of you have watched more than a few minutes. The other two haven't watched any PSG games. One or two CL game highlights and that is it. He has a good performance and they go missing. One miss pass and they troll the forums. Oldest trick in the book. You expect people to keep biting at that nonsense? I'm just requesting they up their game, and you stop trying to copy it, because it's poor form to be a parrot. It's even worse to try and hide behind others because your troll game is too weak to make an impact. Up your game Chooch....
Everytime I watch PSG, I hope to see the magic. It is a bit like the Emperor and his new clothes. You know I root for the Little French Guy to become something. But if he actually said this to a reporter, which supposedly he claims he did not, then I don't see him becoming the great player everyone thinks he is. The Italy international, however, told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "It's not that I want to go at all costs, it's just I want to see if they really do build a great squad this time. In that case, I would be happy to stay. "Each year they say they are going to build a great squad, but we've seen the results. Promises are not enough. If, on the other hand, this time PSG with [sporting director Antero] Henrique stick to what they say, then I will be absolutely happy to stay. At the end of the day, nobody is forcing me to leave." At this point, he should be saying build the squad around me and I will take you to the promised land. He wants to follow someone else it appears.
No offense Signore, but I didn't read it. I can just imagine, same story over and over. Oh Chooch, I told your Pops you were looking for some love too. Nice of me, right?
I have patience. I am waiting to see this fantastic player. But he will hit the quarter century mark this fall. He needs to show something soon.
