I can think of one: Jay Bothryod for Perugia. Supposedly he is alright, but again I have not seen anything special.

I do hate it when people talk about how boring the Italian league is, and they say the Premier League is so much better. It may be quicker and more entertaining - but any serious footballer to be considered one of the best has to play in Spain or Italy.
Everyone says Henry is the best striker in the world (well, all the EPL commentators and pundits do anyway), he's not until he proves he can do the same in Italy or Spain.
The same with Henrik Larsson, people rave about him - he plays in Scotland for christ's sake. Even Chris Sutton is good in Scotland - that tells you everything.

Roma: Emerson could join Juve
Friday 14 May, 2004
The Giallorossi are set to let go of Walter Samuel and Emerson next week, but the club confirms the Brazilian might not leave Serie A.
“We will decide their future during Monday’s Board of Directors meeting,” revealed Director of Sport Franco Baldini.
“Emerson will definitely be leaving for purely financial reasons. His contract expires in 2005 and there is the real risk we’d lose him for nothing next season.”
This has been predicted for several weeks, but up until now Roma had always maintained they would not reinforce their Scudetto rivals.
Bids from Chelsea, Real Madrid and Barcelona have been touted in the press, but Baldini told Spanish newspaper ‘Marca’ that his destination could be closer to home.
“Juventus are one of the possible clubs Emerson could join,” affirmed transfer guru Baldini.
If the Brazilian midfielder is now certain to move on, then Walter Samuel is 99 per cent sure to be wearing another jersey next season.

we're actually negotiating with ROMA, ROMA...??
Marsca is very much like Emerson. We sucked that year, because our central mid. didn't support our defense. Maresca is defensivly worse than Emerson, and Tacchinardi is very important for our defense. He always served us like a lion and works and runs like a lion.
Gilardino will surley arrive, but its risky to start a season with a 21 or whatever year old young player, so Moggi should at least get 2 defenders. One proven goalgetter and a young gun like Gila. And...Morientes is a great player. Can score at any time, has a very high work-rate and is very reliable.
Camoranesi or Kapo should play on the right wing. It doesn't matter as both would be in my next years team!

Tacchinardi may run like a lion, unfortunately he plays like a donkey.
Emerson would be a direct replacement for Tacchi - there's no need to play them together. Emerson would concentrate on the defence, while Maresca or whoever would work more on the creativity.
Remember Davids and Zidane in the middle? Quality. You don't necessarily need 2 defensive minded midfield players, ever since Zidane left, Juve has lacked creativity because it had Davids and Tacchi who are both defence orientated.
Maresca is certainly no Zidane, but he looks pretty creative and therefore would complement Emerson's defensive qualities. Emerson and Tacchi together would be pointless.

Well, Davids and Zidane is a very bad example. Davids played winger and Zidane was the man behind two strikers. Emerson and Maresca would pair in midfield, and I don't think that Emerson makes that much defensive work. At least nit that much like Tacchinardi. We have to solve our defensive problems. Creativity and scoring goals is not our problem. We have to find someone who can support the defense. Emerson isn't that player!
While Emerson is a dirtbag on the field, he is an upgrade on any of the current lot we have. In fact, his output might even be more significant since he's officially able to get away with murder in playing for one of the biggest club in the league. I'm not a fan of his and if there's one player I'd like from Roma, its Mancini.
I just wondered if we really need Emerson. I would not like Maresca to sit on the bench and I have a great idea.
What about that line-up?
------------------Buffon----------------------
Bonera------Thuram---Mexes---Zambrotta
----------Maresca-----Tacchinardi---------
Miccoli-------------------------------Nedved
----------Morientes----Del Piero------------
Miccoli is great and together with Maresca he would be able to play on the wing. We hardly saw them playing together, and when they did, they were great. (Olympiakos, first Parma game....)
I was in Italy last summer and saw a Juve game against Napoli, and Miccoli play right wing and Maresca playmaker! They were great. So I wouldn't buy any expensive midfielder, just a proven guy, who could sit on the bench like Bernardi.........
