It was made known pretty early that the contracts of Julio Cruz and Christian Panucci were not going to be renewed by Inter and Roma at the end of the season. Both players were linked with a host of clubs but no offer became concrete and up until yesterday it was anybody’s guess where Cruz [...]

Today the schedule was released for the 2009/2010 season. Lega Calcio finally decided to do the schedule EPL-style, with no seeding for teams, which meant you could have big games on the first day of the season. The first day of the season which starts the weekend of August 22 and 23 has two very [...]
Transfer Tuesdays – Volume 6: Eto’o has arrived, another American will arrive
By: Francesco | 6 Comments
Before we dive into Serie A transfer news, I just want to report on a transfer from Serie B that as fairly important, which was Torino’s Alessandro Rosina signing for Zenit St. Petersburg. Nobody expected a player with Rosina’s talent to stay in Serie B, but the move to Russia seemed a little surprising, however [...]

Yep, it’s true, for a couple of seconds today Giuseppe Rossi was a Milan player. Just a couple of moments ago various radio stations in the Milan area reported that on the AC Milan official website it was announced in the news section that Milan had officially signed the 22 year old striker from Villarreal. [...]
Video of the week: Italian amateur football bloopers
By: Francesco | 7 Comments
It’s the summer, and that means summer friendlies. And most Italian clubs (the ones that don’t go abroad and play in makeshift tournaments vs other big sides) stay in a remote town up in northern Italy or even another country like Austria. So, to gain match fitness, they play summer friendlies, and these summer friendlies [...]

Today I was doing my usual calcio news surfing and I saw something on calciomercato.com that made me laugh. The headline read “Roma, Incidente Rosi” (Incident for Roma’s young full-back Aleandro Rosi) in bold letters. Then, as I switched my focus to the subtitle underneath the bold letters it said, “Stung by a bee in [...]
Transfer Tuesdays – Volume 5: Arrivederci Ibra?
By: Francesco | 2 Comments
So the big transfer news in recent days is the deal between Inter and Barcelona to swap Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Samuel Eto’o. The deal is expected to be finished by the end of the week, and after a 4 hour meeting today it seems the stumbling block is the wage demands of Eto’o (wants 10 [...]

Let me just start out by saying that I have never liked Goal.com (the English version at least. The Italian version is actually pretty good because it just posts articles from Italian newspapers, so at least you know you’re reading from a source). The English version always seems to have stories without sources that look [...]

When Roberto Donadoni was the coach of the Italian national team, I think pretty much everyone thought he had the personality of a brick wall. His interviews were always very bland, he never joked around much, and we wondered how he even motivated players in the locker room. But recent news coming out of Napoli’s [...]
