    More and more it's being reported in Rome by journalists and radio pundits that when Montella meet with Sabatini to discuss becoming the coach of AS Roma he demanded they get rid of Lamela and replace him with Gomez. Ultimately Montella lost the job over it as Sabatini didn't want to lose face over Lamela.

    I thought this was interesting and worst sharing. Especially in light of the fact that Zeman is not happy with the player and feels he is unable to do the things that are asked of him.

    In his 3 recent adventures, okey lets say two ( roma and catania) Montella always favors old players.Uses established players, I wouldnt be surprised at this news if Montella didnt want Lamela.And probably wanted to build around totti osvaldo borriello..

    He's young and I think he wants to learn and Zeman is the man to do that. I don't understand why Montella would have wanted to sell such a promising young player. Strange if true

    Why the hell is this stuff making it out of the management offices, this is extremely unprofessional and disappointing.

    Are they trying to kill the kids confidence?

    Whether it's true or not, who knows. However, it should boost his confidence by showing the club believes in him.

    Also some report now nastasic is going to manchester city. That would be a huge loss for fiorentina, he will become an amazing defender imo.

    This is why Spalletti needs to be Zeman's eventual successor.

    Why exactly? I don't remember Spalletti being a champion of you players. He had his senators and loved them.

    All coaches have their certain senators. But I just can't see him wanting to drop a 20 year old player we spent almost 20 million on, for a midtable striker that hasn't gotten a single cap for his country. If he wanted to replace him with actual quality that's one thing.

    But Montella has way too big of a fetish for older men for him to manage this current squad.
