    Get him. Keep Vucinić and Giovinco and sell everyone else, this guy is a machine, never tired, never injured, can play 95 minutes every three days, so we wouldn't even need any depth.

    Lol, some pundit yesterday was saying that something may happen today and that he thinks Borriello will end up at Juve too. So this is happening...

    Yes, it is. But then we have to admit that Marotta was the general that lost us the battle, so he should rightfully be criticised. He risked and failed, which may bear consequences in the upcoming season (but this is now up to Conte and Carrera, not him).

    Good that we got one then, I guess.
  5. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    Yes, it wasn't a clause. We just came too late with a high-profile offer because we wanteda bargain. And we ended up with a bargain from Arsenal.

    JoJo was attainable at the beginning of mercato. Prade admitted that if an offer in the region of "around 30M" arrives, they will be obliged to negotiate given the agreement with the player. Montella said a few times that JoJo has to decide what he wants to do, so there was a real chance he will...

    Last summer Conte was reportedly in favour of the Elia purchase and this summer he allegedly wanted Bendtner... My theory is that Conte pushed for this move because he wants to teach another shithead a lesson.

    No, Marotta bashed Berbatov for what happened too. We opened negotiations for Bendtner but put them on hold when the uncertainity over Berbatov's move has occured. Apparently we agreed everything with him and MU but in the end he rejected us and chose Fulham. Then we got back to negotiations for...

    We should have secured Ramirez this summer...
  10. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    So, in the end we've replaced Ale with Giovinco and Borriello with Bendtner. We need to see more from Giovinco in our shirt obviously, but I already dare to say we're weaker in the attacking department in comparison to the last season. Borriello and Bendtner are both cack so it doesn't...

    Indeed. Marotta says we won't get "bad boys" who would destabilize our team. And then he's about to sign Bendtner.

    She probably meant in January we can officially negotiate with Llorente and sign with him the contract that will start from June. Not a chance Athletic will sell him in January.
  13. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    I wonder what happend to the likes of Soldado, Negredo, Adrian etc. None of them want to play in a bigger club and get a payrise, so we have to settle with Bendtner/Borriello/Floccari? Not that they are great players, far from it, but still are of better quality than the ones currently heavy...
  14. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    I'd like Ramirez too at this point. One of the few quality players that are still available, Bologna surely would accept about 9M for a co-ownership. Ramirez/Giovinco - Vucinić/Matri up front.
  15. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    So lets just keep this Boakye or whatever his name is. After all we paid 4M for his half, so we value him at 8M, more than we offered for Berbatov. He must be better then.
  16. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    The legions of Roman journos are working to appease the nationalistic fans. Anyway, the biggest disappointment for me this summer was when our interest in Cavani turned into interest in Llorente. Since then it was obvious we're looking for a bargain rather than for the utmost quality. The...
  17. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    I guess there's still hope Fiorentina will do evertything to take revenge on us and will overpay for Bendtner just to steal him from our hand, for the sake of their supporters :D
  18. Live Mercato Meltdown - 2012/13 (pants filled in 3,2...)

    Oh well, at least it will be only a loan for Bendtner, so we'll need to replace him next season, hopefully not with Calaio...

    Fuck. I preferred it how it was in the old days. Mark was the only one who bothered to go to VS for news and was actually reliable back then, while Dusan was "the reporter", his apprentice, posting news from popular sites. Back then, never such a fiasco would have occured (ok, maybe Gabi Milito...
