Now they wanna sell Gyan, who I dont think is nearly worth as much as muntari....UDINESE GOT SERIOUSLY RIPPED OFF ON MUNTARI, hes worth 20mil pounds now, why would you sell him so young and with so much potential I wish i could punch the owner of udinese in the face for selling Sulley Muntari to portsmouth for so cheap, serie A is selling all their top african players to the EPL it makes me wanna puke, our league is being turned into a giant feeder club for the EPL clubs as far as african players are concerned.

Never liked Lupatelli, too inconsistent. Martha, the teenager your talking about is Pazzagli, who is the Primavera goalkeeper and supposedly has a bright future ahead of him.

Never liked Lupatelli, too inconsistent.

Plus there's a teenager on whom they're really high, who might be sort of even with Avramov. [And I appreciate your optimism, roswitha. I'm clinging to it.] Chris, I'm with you -- the confidence of the reports is odd given the lack of official confirmation. Nolan, he tried to get out over the summer, too, I'm not sure what his motivation is, but this is definitely nothing new. (They made him captain throughout pre-season, which I assumed at the time was something of a bribe to stay.) Francesco, I actually think Lupatelli is second choice; Avramov is third.

Although their second keeper Avramov is decent, he's nowhere near Frey. Poor Fiorentina, first the slump, now losing the 2nd best keeper in Italy.

It seems like everything is going wrong at once, I guess this is nothing new in Florence…

With or without Frey, Udinese just looks that much more dangerous. I'm going to need to see Carvalho's signature in blood to believe this. This kid could walk into nearly any XI in the world, turned down Barca, and even Arsene wanted him bad. I wonder how badly his knee was shredded and whether or not it's the reason why he had to settle for Inter. Looks like Fiorentina is going to be buying their tickets for next year’s UEFA Cup, again.

Honestly, this is probably the end of the CL pipedream. (It's ok to cry.) Jennifer, I'm fully confident Zlatan's grown up enough to get over it, but the jury's still out on RvdV. Actually, I bet they'd get Zlatan's OK before even going after him, don't you think? Johanna, they’re freaking CURSED. Honestly, this is probably the end of the CL pipedream. (It’s ok to cry.)
