Secco plotted this all along. In a drinking binge with Gigli one night in 2007...
Secco: "So, get this... I'm going to sign Almiron and Poulsen."
Gigli: LOL (pounds the table). "You're shitting me. I mean, the juventini are going to freak."
Secco: "No, wait... wait. I'm just warming up. Then I'm going to drop a bundle on Tiago. And he's going to be forced into our 4-4-2 and not play very well."
Gigli: "Ha! You're killing me here, Alessio. Stop it!"
Secco: "Oh, but it gets better. Tiago is gonna earn a 'ballerina' nickname from the fans, and then he's going to lock you in the bathroom."
Gigli: (spews his beer across the table): "WHAT?!! You can't be serious."
Secco: "Dead right I'm serious. And when we want to trade him away, he'll even refuse to go This on top of leaving the team with Grygera and Molinaro as the starting fullbacks!"
Gigli: "You are a madman, my friend. How is this hilarious episode going to end?"
Secco: "Oh, I've got that already figured out. Just when everyone thinks I'm a total ass clown at this and people stop paying attention, I'm going to sign a future Ballon d"oro trequartista, a beast of a DM, and a World-Cup-winning fullback."
Gigli: "Damn. Talk about pulling a mindfuck. Cheers to that, Alessio!"
Secco: "So, get this... I'm going to sign Almiron and Poulsen."
