The picture is correct, he is on the right. Anyways, Van Den Borre has alot of promise, and he and Vincent Kompany came through the youth system together. The attitude problems I had not heard of, but he wont get away with that in Italy, so you guys look good for he future

Thanks for that, Steven — I didn’t know he had attitude problems. Fingers crossed Prandelli can sort him out.

I’m with you, tmc — I actually almost wrote “Bring on August” in that post, it’s killing me to have to wait to see how all this shakes out.

And DOH! Thanks, Token, I’ll go find another picture.

That actually isn’t Vanden Borre (he was on the right side of the original pic), it’s central defender/midfielder Mark De Man.

Vanden Borre would be here:

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, it seems like my boys are going about developing the squad the right way. Perhaps the most encouraging are the many positive quotes from players regarding the club. It seems like Fiorentina is a place that players want to be now, and people are realizing that this is a team on the come. I really wish the start of the next season wasn’t so far away, but it will be really interesting to see how these things develop. Forza Viola!

I hope he succeeds, but the reason Vanden Borre failed in Belgium, is because of his lame-ass attitude. He’s a great footballer, but he’s even better at pickin’ up stupid red cards, pissin’ off teammates and coaches, and not showing up for training.

But anyway, Prandelli is a coach who can put his players on the same line, and that’s what Vercauteren (his Anderlecht coach) couldn’t, so maybe we can see another Belgian player succeed in Italy.
