The money these English teams give Fio for its players is just awesome. I like Alonso. I would say Jovetic, Nastasic and Cuadrado are among my favorite players from the past decade. I would do each of those deals again and twice on Sunday.
Olivera is official. Loan with mandatory purchase. Sportiello's agent said "Fiorentina? It could happen. There are four hours to go."
Some guys to restock the youth sides. Mamadou Toure (from Barcelona), Michele Servillo, and Samuel Francesco Spalluto.
I dont focking get it. Whats the problem to give Rossi a real try, why loaned out to Vigo (OK his playstile fits with celta for shure) well, nice deal with Alonso but we loose consistensy. Mati out too.... damn not shure if i like..
To be honest i'm really pissed off cause Rossi left the club again. Alonso for 30mill euros no problem. replacement no problem. but we need quality in the attack. Coach is not happy with us so get the fock out and we take Pioli.
Tatarusanu Salcedo-----Gonzalo-----Astori Tello-----Badelj-----Vecino-----Berna Ilicic-----Valero Kalinic ok starting eleven looks good but not shure about the bank. Rossi god dammit!!!!!!!!
Oliveira from Penarol is Alonso's replacement. Corvino stated in a conference that Sousa said "I trust you" when he proposed this player. We'll see how that pays off. Full conference: http://www.football-italia.net/90785/corvino-‘couldn’t-turn-down-alonso-bid’
That football-Italia story has his name wrong, in case you're looking for him orn youtube or whatever. It's Olivera, not Oliveira.
I was wondering why you guys were saying Olivera Released earlier today, our UEFA list: Astori, Badelj, Cristoforo, Dragowski, De Maio, Ilicic, Kalinic, MIlic, Olivera, Rodriguez, Salcedo, Sanchez, Tatarusanu, Tello, Tomovic, Valero, Vecino, Zarate, Babacar, Bernardeschi Hagi, Toledo and Diks not included. Oh and ******** this particular international break. I was amped to watch another game this weekend.
Alonso's thankful statement towards us “It’s not easy to find words to express my emotions right now. A wonderful adventure is over that I’ll never forget,” he began. “I spent several beautiful years in Florence and I want to thank all the people who made this experience special. “I thank the Viola fans for the incredible affection they’ve shown me since day one, even during the difficult times. “I thank the warehousemen, massage therapists, medical staff, technical staff and all those who with their work and passion to make this club special, a real family! “I want to dedicate a special mention to a great person and a great Coach, Mr.Paulo Sousa, who taught me a lot on and off the pitch and with whom I hope to be able to work again in the future. “I thank all my teammates, the great guys with whom I shared so many emotions and the beautiful and not-so-beautiful times, in victory and defeat. “Finally, I thank the club Fiorentina for believing in me and letting me grow as both a player and as a man. “Now I’m starting a new professional challenge, but I’ll always be proud to have worn the Viola jersey. I’ll follow you and always cheer for you! Thank you from the heart, Florence! Thank you from the heart, Fiorentina!
Zarate was absent against Chievo as his wife has cancer and was having surgery. He's back in training now.
Astori will miss tomorrow's match away to Udinese and maybe even this weekend home to Milan according to the team doctor. Expect to see De Maio and/or Salcedo.
