Cassano is Running Out of Options
By: Martha | July 12th, 2007
Antonio Cassano, your prototypical footballer with ability tragically unmatched by either brains or self-control, has reportedly turned down a chance to join Turkish champions Fenerbahce. Their £3 million bid was accepted by Real, but Cassano rejected the deal. Not for salary reasons, mind you, or because he’s allergic to kebabs or doesn’t like Istanbul (Seriously, who wouldn’t want to get paid to live there for a while?) but, rather, because he wants to stay on the market a little longer just in case someone in Italy wants him. Jeez, talk about pathetic. Isn’t that sort of like refusing to date on the off-chance your really hot ex (who you cheated on several times and then threw out of the house) has a change of heart and wants to move back in?
Though Napoli and Genoa (among others) have both been associated with Cassano over the past several weeks, he’s apparently decided to limit his options further by again declaring Roberto Mancini the only man he can play for in Italy. Why yes, that IS the same Roberto Mancini who manages Inter Milan, the team Hernan Crespo and Julio Cruz have both recently pointed is burdened with something of a crowd in the striker department. Why do you ask?
Clearly Cassano thought this out really well: He’s demanded a sale from Real Madrid, and now is in the process of making it impossible for them to get rid of him. What does he think is going to happen, exactly? I mean, barring a deadly lightning strike at Inter’s Sardinia training camp, it really doesn’t seem like they’re going to be in the market for a striker any time soon.
