WAG of the Week: Sara Tommasi

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

According to Miss Sara Tommasi — who may or may not be dating Lazio’s oddly hot midfielder-turned-defender Valon Behrami — she and Super Pippo had a brief fling some time ago, and it was just totally awesome. (Two weeks in a row for Pippo — who knew he could score such lovely women?) She never [...]

Where you At, Gila?

By: Martha | Comments 5 Comments

Poor Alberto Gilardino. First he’s left on the bench in favor of Super Pippo in the Champions League Final, then he goes in for surgery and misses out on key Azzurri matches, and now he doesn’t even know if he’ll be in Milan next year.
With all the endless striker rumors swirling around the Rosoneri, Gila [...]

The Latest on Sheva (Insert Stifled Yawn Here)

By: Martha | Comments 6 Comments

In case you’ve been asleep for the last month or so, Milan want their beloved Andriy Shevchenko back and, though the striker keeps banging his “I want to prove myself in England!” drum, his protests are getting progressively less convincing, and it seems Chelsea are more interested in cash than actually letting him on the [...]

Bidding a Sad Farewell to Claudio Ranieri

By: Martha | Comments 1 Comment

It hurts me to type this, but it’s looking more and more likely The Great Claudio Ranieri will soon be leaving Parma for the colder, rainier pastures of Manchester City. Though he’s not yet met with his currently employers to discussion the situation — that happens tomorrow — the Tinkerman is giving interviews in the [...]

Adriano for Cassano? Well That Makes More Sense!

By: Martha | Comments 8 Comments

Finally, an Adriano transfer rumor that’s at least vaguely logical! Instead of asking us to believe Arsenal would be willing to trade their resident (egotistical) saint for the striker, the press are now reporting Real might offer Antonio Cassano to Inter in exchange for the Brazilian.
This rumor first came up in February in a very [...]

Ooooh, Super Pippo Sweat!

By: Martha | Comments 6 Comments

If you’re the sort of person who isn’t totally freaked out by the mere thought of proximity to Pippo Inzaghi’s precious bodily fluids, you’ll want to check out the action currently going on at the official Milan store: They’re auctioning off the jersey he wore in the Champions League Final — It’s got the proper [...]

It’s Official: Crespo is an Inter Player. Woo Hoo!

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

Though this is no less than what we expected after yesterday’s hopeful reports, the news is now official: Hernan Crespo is staying at Inter. Hurrah!
And not just for on year, either — as far as I can tell from Google translate, he’ll be on loan again next season, the final one in his contract with [...]

Toni Deal is Done

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

As several people mentioned in the comments yesterday, Luca Toni’s move to Bayern Munich (first reported in the press more than a month ago) was made official today.
Having evidently forgotten about his desire to play Champions League football next year, Toni signed through summer 2011 (The original rumors claimed the agreement was through 2012.) for [...]

Tuesday News Roundup: Who Doesn’t Love Lucarelli?

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

•After tearing up Serie A all season, Cristiano Lucarelli finally scored an Azzurri call-up for a competitive match. And, according to Lucarelli, it’s about damn time: “Considering my statistics over the last four seasons, I certainly have not been given my fair due.” Somehow, though this would be completely repellent behavior from anyone else, it [...]

Whoa — Zampagna to the Viola?

By: Martha | Comments 2 Comments

I freaking love Riccardo Zampagna — he’s one of those old school, bull-like strikers (albeit one capable of a bit of flair now and again) who would just as soon run through as around any defender you put in front of him; there’s something really endearing about footballers who produce with such a total lack [...]
