Yeah, About That Transfer — Never Mind (x2)

By: Martha | Comments 3 Comments

With Dejan Stankovic returning to full training earlier this week, and rehab and fitness work for old men Luis Figo and Patrick Vieira apparently going well back Milan while the team were away partying in Dubai, Inter are reportedly reevaluating their move for Atletico Madrid midfielder Maniche. Obviously, if they don’t need midfield bodies, Inter […]

Someday, I Will Go a Whole January Without Talking About Figo

By: Martha | Comments 7 Comments

That’s going to have to wait until 2009, though, because Luis Figo’s agent is talking about the MLS rumors, and has more or less said they’re crap. Which, obviously, could be Clever Agent-Style Deceit, but also could mean there’s nothing going on right now. Whatever it means, the agent and and Figo himself clearly have […]

Figo Might Actually Be Going to MLS for Real (Boo. BOO!)

By: Martha | Comments 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 […]

Oh, to Have a Spare Pile of Money

By: Martha | Comments 9 Comments

Because they’re all good people (despite the beatings and in-fighting) a bunch of Serie A teams have come together to support ACDM, a foundation that works to facilitate the integration of kids with Downs Syndrome into Italian society.
Being so famous all they have to do is wear and or/write their name on something to […]

Friday News Roundup Before the International Frenzy Hits Fever Pitch

By: Martha | Comments 4 Comments

•Bobo Vieri is either right on the verge of agreeing to stay with Fiorentina for one more year, or he’s not. Since the denial comes from the man himself — who says he prefers one-year contracts at this point in his life so he can quit if he’s just not feeling it anymore (that’s what […]

Pre-Champions League News Roundup

By: Martha | Comments 15 Comments

•Pippo Inzaghi’s two goals yesterday moved him into a tie with Gerd Muller’s record of 62 goals in UEFA matches, though it’s taken him more matches than it took Muller. High five for Super Pippo. (I have this idea that Muller and Inzaghi are kindred spirits in the awkwardness of their footballing, albeit in totally […]

Sinisa Mihajlovic to Start for Inter on Wednesday?

By: Martha | Comments 7 Comments

Just as they’re starting to get defenders back to health and back from suspension, Inter’s midfield is going all to hell. Already without Luis Jimenez (who recently suffered a mysterious injury in training), Patrick Vieira (Broken. Again.) and Dejan Stankovic (damaged ankle joint, not due back until December), they’ve now lost Luis Figo, possibly until […]

Champions League: Inter in Moscow, Roma Host Sporting

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

Last time Inter were in Russia, Julio Cruz scored in the first minute(ish) and they beat Spartak Moscow on a plastic pitch to begin turning around last season’s nightmarish Champions League start. Though the turnaround has started a little earlier this time round, three away points again would be very nice: CSKA Moscow are bottom […]

Newsie Bits For Napoli Supporters to Read As They Stay Home Again

By: Martha | Comments No Comments

•The Figo Wants Quaresma to Succeed Him at Inter stories are back again and, as was the case last time this happened, it’s not at all what Figo said. There have been no talks, but Quaresma is “proud,” and Martha is far too excited about the possibility.
•David Trezeguet is making noises about retiring from international […]

Midweek Odds and Ends Ahead of the Azzurri B-Squad Match

By: Martha | Comments 1 Comment

•Add Roma to the list of teams Amauri’s agent is telling everyone want his client. While all of this could be real, it could also be an artless attempt by an agent to raise the pricetag on his client’s head.
•If we can believe Germany magazine Kicker, Barcelona may be preparing to dump Gianluca Zambrotta in […]
