Figo Might Actually Be Going to MLS for Real (Boo. BOO!)
By: Martha |
23 Comments
Unlike all the previous Luis Figo-to-MLS stories, this one comes from an actual, fairly reliable newspaper: Correio da Manha is one of the biggest dailies in Portugal and has a whole lot more credibility than your typical sports rag (even if the Portuguese ones seem to make things up slightly less often than those in […]
Amauri Has Learned a Lot From His Agent
By: Martha | 5 Comments
Amauri’s agent Mariano Grimaldi is, from all available evidence, an unrepentant sleazebag. In order to keep his client’s name in the press, he has no compunction about telling bold-faced lies about other clubs and their interest, as well as Amauri’s relationship with Palermo. If the Brazilian wasn’t so damn talented, I’m quite sure Zampa would […]
What is Up With Lazio?
By: Martha | 1 Comment
Tomasso Rocchi and Goran Pandev both joined Lazio in 2004. Since then, they’ve scored 95 goals between them, driving the club to a miracle (and, barring the draw with Real Madrid, disastrous) Champions League spot this year. At a club with a top salary of just €750,000, they both make €500,000 or less, and are […]

By: Martha | 7 Comments
Liverpool have been eying Fiorentina defender Tomas Ujfalusi for at least a month now, and given how the Czech and his agent have been talking, it’s been assumed he would leave Serie A next month, probably for England. Now, though, that’s all been proved wrong: Ujfalusi rejected a move to The Reds, scuttling the £500,000 […]

•Sampdoria’s world-class whiner Andrea Caracciolo could be on his way out of yet another club this winter, possibly to Atalanta. I wonder if it’s ever occurred to him that the problem is his lack of consistency, rather than every club he plays with treating him unfairly.

Man, Udinese are good — they’ve got scouts in the right places and, somehow, have the ability to get youngsters to sign with them rather than with bigger clubs, possibly by pointing to their track recording with young talent, as well as the chance for first-team action well before players might find it at the […]

By: Martha | 20 Comments
While most everyone in European football is on vacation — either in Miami with Zlatan, Como with the Argies, Brazil with the Brazilians, or partying with one Fabio Cannavaro at his villa in Madird — Rino Gattuso is busy training. Seriously.
In Glasgow to visit his wife’s family for the holidays, Gattuso apparently was too […]

If you believe the Italian papers this morning, Fiorentina are about the receive big money offers for their two touchstone players. (Hopefully they’ll be able to resist those offers, despite the delicious smell of cash and buying power.)
First, according to our beloved La Gazzetta — finally back after taking the holidays off like the rest […]
