    Hide's finally playing up to expectations. No longer a sluggish presence in midfield. Providing "quality" and "quantity" as they say. Whether he stays or goes will depend on the offers--the Tanzi's will definitely keep him if they can't make a sizeable profit. In fact Nakata with "parmalat" across his chest has created a big sales boost for the milk in Japan. This might be more important to the Tanzi's than wins and losses at Stadio Tardini...

    Agreed. And I don't think there's any "might" about it. Parma football club is strictly a business venture for them. Not that that's a bad thing. The club has done as well as Inter over the past decade, so the "passion" and willingness of the owner to spend as much money as possible seems not to make that much of a difference.

    Watched Parma-Lazio this weekend, very impressed with Ferrari out of the back and the individual skill of Mutu and Adriano up front....

    Though if I was a Parma fan, they were up a man for 55 minutes and didn't do enough...

    Until the last few weeks, Mihajlovic was considered to be the closest thing to a sure goal on a PK this side of Alex Del Piero. I wonder when was the last time somebody other than Sinisa took a PK for Lazio? Once in a while, even the best misses, so I don't blame Mancini for going with him a second time. Now, of course, he's lacking confidence, so gotta go with somebody else.

    this might be out of place in this forum...but I'll take any chance to talk Lazio I can...

    I've read where Mihajlovic wants to take a break from PKs, so we'll see someone else next time...maybe Stankovic or Fiore....I don't blame Mancini for going with him, but playing Stam at right back might be another story...

    What's the deal with Nakata?
    He has the ability to be an integral part of Parma, and now with Lamouchi departing, he could be even more vital.
    So, is he staying or is he going?
