    I'm sure he is. The entire thing is pretty weird.

    My best guess is that we got a pretty big offer for Frey and planned to take it but, with our tifosi already in a sour mood, decided not to pull the trigger.

    I don't speak Italian. Can anyone give me a decent translation of that link? Google translate doesn't make much sense for the Aberdeen part near the bottom.

    First paragraph says that Frey's performance on Wednesday further solidifies his spot and that rumors are now suggesting that Boruc will leave in January.

    Second paragraph says that the first offer received was from Legia Warsaw and it would mean a guaranteed place as a starter and include a number of financial incentives for playing for the Polish NT. Having played for Celtic, Boruc has many admirers and his agent has been approached by Wolverhampton meanwhile the Irish Independent (newspaper?) yesterday spoke of a future battle between Shay Given and Boruc to become Aberdeen's #1.

    Thank you.

    I can only come to the conclusion that they have mixed Aberdeen up with Celtic somehow.

    Dunno. I tried a few searches on the Irish Independent's website and couldn't dig up anything. Could have been in a print edition not on the web, I guess.

    Corvino said that he has no intention of selling Boruc. He stated that Boruc will stay at Fiorentina until his contract expires..

    Frey says that he was perplexed by the Boruc signing and reveals that (news to me) he and Prandelli may not have had a good relationship.

    “I don't believe that I represented a problem to Fiorentina. There was never a great feeling with Prandelli and his staff.

    “I never got a 'thank you' or a compliment from him. But Prandelli is the past. I don't want to speak about him,” he concluded.

    Our situation is just freaking weird. As good as the feeling was about this club 2 years ago, it's done a complete 180.

    So Boruc had a nice little clean sheet to start his Viola career. I just watched the highlights (in Italian) and they pronounced his surname Borutz. Is that correct? I don't know if we have any Pollacks around to verify it. I'd really like to know, though.

    The Celtic support always pronounced it BORE-uhch, for what it's worth.

    Yeah, exactly like that. I guess I naturally knew how to pronounce it because of a couple Polish buddies I have.

    That's how I have been pronouncing it in my head since he arrived.

    I hope the bum shuts his mouth next time he's on the bench after that.

    I don't think Boruc is going to change in terms of speaking his mind. He's always been this way.

    Yellows in each of his first two matches, though... 2 clean sheets (at home and not against top competition) in his first 3 matches. I'm hopeful that he can be solid.

    I'm honestly starting to think that Boruc is dumb. I understand the yellows for time wasting but he should've learnt his lesson the game before. Also with his HUGE mistake of running out of the box, giving a free goal to Roma. During the Cesena game, I also spotted HORRIBLE positioning from him during corners.

    He scares the shit out of me.

    And on a personal note...everytime I see the tattoo that goes from his hair down his neck, I think it's a telephone wire that FBI's have in their ears. -_-
