nice one @NickyViola ! Latest on diakite: http://www1.skysports.com/football/...-at-fiorentina-following-loan-from-sunderland Don't particularly want him, he isn't top 4 standard anyhow Saw this too: http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2014/05/inter-defender-set-for-fiorentina-transfer/ Not so keen, he's lost a yard, we aren't lacking in experience just quality
This however is good news, though i'd prefer peruzzi: http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2014/05/fiorentina-close-in-on-genoa-star/
It looks like Gonzalo and Valero are both going to renew their contracts for long-term deals. The big push seems to be for a right back, a central mid and a reinforcement striker, or two.
Less quantity - More quality.... Montella doesn't play scrubs anyway... there is a window to win Serie A next year, would be stupid not to go for it. Keep Cuadrado Buy 3-4 top players: 1 Right back, 1 Center Defender, 1-2 Midfielders No strikers... keep Rebic, bring back Babacar and Bernardeschi. Medaglina e arrivederci: Roncaglia, Compper, Diakite, Andow, Matri, Ambro, Ilicic, Wolski (on loan), Bakic (on loan), Matos (on loan), Alonso, Romulo Keepers: Neto, Rosati, Tataruman (whatever his name is) Defenders: NEW RB, Gonzalo, Savic, Pasqual, NEW CB, Camporese, Hegazi, Tomovic Midfielders: Aquilani, Borja, Pizarro, Mati, NEW MF, NEW MF, Vecino, Joaquin Everywhere players: Cuadrado, Vargas Forwards: Gomez, Rossi, Rebic, Babacar, Bernardeschi My choices?? RB: Vrsaljko CB: Astori MF: Verratti e Bonaventura
No time for links today, but below are the players we have been linked with: GK - Tatarusanu DEF: Vrsaljko (RB), Astori, Radu, Vermaelen, Gaspar (RB), Santon (RB), Musacchio, Eder Balanta, Fazio, Kaboul MF - Arteta, Cambiasso, Bonaventura, Khedira, Baselli, Menez, Shaqiri, Anderson, Taddei ST - Vucinic, Muriel, Pandev Guys potentially leaving (sale or loan): Cuadrado, Lazzari, Babacar, Iakovenko, De Silvestri, Romulo, Matos, Bernardeschi, Wolski, Acosty, Salifu, Vecino, Zohore, El Hamdaoui, Ashong,
New RB: Peruzzi, Vrsjalko, Donati, Darmian New CB: Astori, Corluka, Musacchio? New LB: Alonso (if not sold) or Murru New CM: Clasie, Marrone, Cambiasso, Girotto Gabriel ST: Hernandez (Javier or Abel), Mame Diouf, Muriel, Sau, Paloschi
Babacar has 20 goals for Modena. We should either give him a real, legitimate shot or we should cash in on him.
We're supposedly going to offload Savic to Bayern Munich as they are very high on him. We may also sell Gomez.
when he first burst onto the scene he was gonna be the next drogba so it's now or never really. i've probably asked this before, but do we still own cassani and de silvestri? is de silvestri not worth a shot at right back?
Apparently we still own both of those guys. Shocked we still own De Silvestri, honestly. That was ages ago. And Romulo's buyout by Hellas is not yet final, though I expect it to get done.
Pandev would be a nice addition. ManU. Milan, and Tottenham are also interested in Savic. Besiktas wants Babacar, and we are exploring Rossettini (Cagliari CB) and have been linked with Veloso again (CM). Yea I saw Verona are pretty upset about the Romulo thing, not sure what's up with it but I also expect him to be gone.
Due to the return of Di Silvestri and Cassani our outlay for salaries is too high and so DV brothers have asked Prade to reduce it. http://www.fiorentina.it/it/news/ar...entina-mercato-facebook-twitter-mondiale.html
I think Di Silvestri can be sold, and I am certain Cassani can at least be sent out on loan again - not ideal, but it gets him off our books. Montella had a sit down meeting with Menez yesterday, and it must have gone well. I know he has a high salary and it would be difficult to sign him, so hopefully this means Montella got the approval to sign him as long as he trims some of the fat from our squad. I was hoping Di Silvestri could play RB for us....
is de silvestri any good anymore? was highly rated when he was younger. if we're gonna sell babacar should've kept hold of seferovic
Links to Menez have become stronger in the past few days. Montella personally asking Menez to join (would be free because his contract expired with PSG)
Apparently we're getting close to signing Chiriches from Spurs http://talksport.com/football/fiorentina-lead-chase-tottenham-star-14053093621? And to bring either Quad or Vucinic from Juve http://forzaitalianfootball.com/2014/05/fiorentina-look-to-bring-in-one-of-two-juventus-strikers/?
sky sports reports quotes from two people claiming to be chiriches' agent, one saying he wants to go and the other saying fiorentina aren't interested haha. the quotes also say he played badly and was a 'flop' but in reality he was spurs' best defender behind vertonghen
