We have renewed the following co-ownerships:
Anacoura GK Parma
Buchel CM Siena
Spinazzola CM Siena
Gallinetta GK Parma
We have sold our 50% of Ghanaian midfielder Chibsah to Parma. He did well for newly promoted Sassuolo last term.
Beltrame is edging closer to Juve stabia.
Novara may renew co-ownership of Libertazzi who spent most of last season on the doctors table...
Castiglia CM we are to buy his remaining 50% from Vicenza then sell Jim to empoli, ternana or pescara.
(just a quick note on the isla co-own renewal...it does not confirm that he will play for juve next season, just that his ownership remains the same between us and udinese for another season. He may well still play for inter)
Any creases, I'll pray for JJ to iron them out...also to confirm/explain the chibsah story.
As far as I can tell these are the co-owns lefts to deal with:
DC) Andrea De Paola (ITA) - Carpi (c/o)
DC) Simone Di Dio (ITA) - Martina France (c/o)
DC) Frederik Sørensen (DEN) - Bologna (c/o)
DR) Dario Romano (ITA) - Alessandria (c/o)
DL) Roberto Crivello (ITA) - San Marino (c/o)
Manolo Gabbiadini is the one that deserves the biggest mention - successful pre-season, safe place in the team, 3 goals in 3 games and call-up from Prandelli. Not a bad start from Zaza (serie a goal) and Immobile (serie a assist and coppa goal) either. Ziegler received a starting spot for Sassuolo straight away, but Sass conceded 6 goals in 2 league games. Berardi received a red card in the last game of the previous season and is suspended for 3 first league games. However, he played 90'+ET in Coppa against Novara. Sorensen had small ankle surgery, he's out for 3 weeks and will be back for 3rd/4th matchday. Marrone and Gouano are last minute transfers. Italian boy will most probably go straight into first squad, he received #8 jersey. French lad will be a bench option for now - there are Yepes and Stendardo ahead of him.
Gabbiadini's goals:
@5:52 first goal
@6:36 second
@1:28 goal
Zaza's goal
@0:15 goal
Immobile
@1:04 goal
assist
Domenico Berardi (US Sassuolo) - 75/300 minutes, 1 yc Simone Zaza (US Sassuolo) - 254/300 minutes, 1 goal Reto Ziegler (US Sassuolo) - 180/180 minutes Luca Marrone (US Sassuolo) - transferred on the last day of mercato
Manolo Gabbiadini (UC Sampdoria) - 270/270 minutes, 3 goals Prince-Desir Gouano (Atalanta Bergamo) - transferred on the last day of mercato Ciro Immobile (Torino) - 266/270 minutes, 1 goal, 1 assist, 2 yc Frederik Sorensen (Bologna FC) - 0/270 minutes
Players outside Italy
A dream league debut for Boakye - he was subbed in at 63' against Almeria and saved a draw for his team by scoring a goal in the extended time of second half. Laursen watched first game of his new team from the stands, the second one from the bench. Rossi arrived in Spain only 3 days before the last Valladolid and was not included in the squad. Diagne is a last minute transfer. Ajaccio scored only 1 goal in 4 games (scored by a midfielder) so we can conclude Ravanelli will check his new player rather fast.
Boakye's goal
Richmond Boakye (Elche CF) - 28/90 minutes, 1 goal Mbaye Diagne (AC Ajaccio) - transferred on the last day of mercato Jacob Laursen (Odense Boldklub) - 0/180 minutes Fausto Rossi (Real Valladolid) - 0/90 minutes
Serie B players
Branescu, Rugani, Leali and Masi had the best start in the new teams - they played every league game. Two former had no problems switching primavera to a serie b side. Pasquato, Liviero, Boniperti and Schiavone (primavera captain from previous season) also got decent amount of playing time. Spinazzola, Magnusson and Josipović received first chances from managers. Gabriel, Buchel, Kabashi, Martinez, Nocchi, Castiglia, Pinsoglio and Padovan are still waiting for debut. Gabriel joined Spezia only 2 days before their game and should receive his chance fast. Nocchi was complimented in the previous season, but Kovacsik is ahead of him at the moment.
Daniele Rugani (Empoli FC) - 360/360 minutes Luca Castiglia (Empoli FC) - transferred on the last day of mercato
Alberto Masi (Ternana Calcio) - 180/270 minutes Cristian Pasquato (AC Padova) - 153/270 minutes, 1 goal, 1 yc Filippo Boniperti (FC Crotone) - 76/360 minutes Laurentiu Branescu (SS Juve Stabia) - 270/360 minutes, 5 allowed goals Marcel Buchel (SS Virtus Lanciano) - transferred on the last day of mercato Carlo Pinsoglio (Modena FC) - 0/270 minutes
Lega Pro players
Nazzareno Belfasti (FC Pro Vercelli) - 0/180 minutes Giuseppe Ruggiero (FC Pro Vercelli) - 32/180 minutes Alberto Libertazzi (FC Pro Vercelli) - transferred on the last day of mercato
Michele Cavion (AC Reggiana) - 69/90 minutes Elio De Silvestro (AC Reggiana) - transferred on the last day of mercato
Carlo Ilari (SS Barletta Calcio) - 0/90 minutes Francesco Margiotta (FBC Unione Venezia) - 0/210 minutes
Pogba is already amazing, hoping for Leali to be great also to replace Gigi eventually. :xfinger: Masi & Berardi. The rest I don't think will be an acceptable level (Rugani & Gabbiadini maybe?), haven't heard of that Penna kid though.
Of the current loaned/co-owned players, Gabbiadini is the most valuable player out of them. He will surely replace one of Vucinic or Giovinco next season.
