Oh, and one more thing, this time about Molinaro....

Those guys who didn't follow Juve and serie A in these last years and saw Molinaro for the first time yesterday.... what do you think their impression of Moli will be?
Can you imagine some Tottenham, Valencia, Liverpool fans talking in their forums now how Molinaro is a player they should keep an eye on and try to buy in the summer?
I can.
A player who didn't let Messi own his side, a player who's fast as a bullet, who plays defense and attack, crosses well, combines excellently and who's only in his mid 20's. They must be having this impression of him.

Now this leads me to a question: How many of those names we hear in "The Wish List and General Discussion Thread" really deserve to be there and how good those players are in reality?
Happens a lot.

Biggest example is people who "desperately want" Chamakh at Juve.

I'm not sure. Due to his sheer quality, his physical abilities and Barca's creativity, he will keep scoring ~20 or more goals per season. By getting adopted to Barca's style he might explode and score 30 or more.
But I doubt that he'll be as great as he was for Inter. He is obviously a support striker, despite his height and the impression he gives at first glance that he's a target man. In Inter his best matches were when he had another striker next to him and when he had more time and freedom to do what he wants.
In Barcelona he will never get a chance to shine in the same way he did in Inter, simply because it's a different football they're playing and he's forced to get rid of the ball fast and act as a target man.
I agree. I always(along with most people who've watched both players) thought it was a bad move swapping both players.

Inter of course benefitted because they got money from the deal to buy other players.

What's his new role?

They play him as a target man whose role is to hold the ball up, score goals and bring teammates into play. He isn't given the freedom to roam and come deep like he used to at Inter, and he isn't given enough time on the ball as he would normally like.

My guess is that this bar woulds likely be in an area with a large number of local Italian immigrants but I don't know Canada well enough to name any.
Apparently they do. There are alot of Italian Canadians students in the University, and also some of the 1st, 2nd generation immigrants of minorities cheer for such teams. Usually Canadians (White) they prefer EPL teams/league.
I see..

As I said before, Chelsea will lose this match.


But since none of my predictions worked this night, this might be a good omen for you anti-Merdas :D

I agree, Inter should win this game as long as they don't continue their habit of choking on the European stage. IMO this tie is theirs to take or throw away.
Inter know they are the stronger side and it's all up to Mourinho to convince them about that which I am sure he will.
