currently Pazzini is the best #9 italian player, and Cassano is the best italian #10trequartista, and both of them won't start for Italy. Lippi is going to take his favorite players Toni, Gila, Di Natale, and quagliarella and get knocked out in the round of 16
And he should be given an award for that. Hopefully he will stick with the usaul crew and crash out, preferably first round though.

With or without cassano, Pazzini is the best Italian goal poacher at the moment. If Lippi has any brain left which I highly doubt, then Pazzini should be in the starting 11 ahead of the likes of Toni, Gila, and Amauri if he gets the Citzenship
You can ask to Prandelli about this. Both of them played under Prandelli in Fio. And Pazzini didn't perform well there so he is sold to Samp. Pazzini is nothing without Cassano. You can start to count from last 2 games when Cassano being ousted from the team by Del Neri, how many goals did Pazzini scored?

I have been against the simplifying conclusion that Pazzini is nothing without Cassano, considering Pazzini is still the one putting in the goals (just like people used to insult Forlan in saying he was all Riquelme), BUT there is NO way he is as good as Gila let alone better AT ALL.

Liked him since Atalanta, but Gila is defenitely better. And he needs to be better then Iaquinta and current Borriello (been looking classy) to be "the best italian prima punta", and he AINT.

Btw, not one to overrate Fiorentina's mercato around here, but got damn what a coup it is that they are getting Cassano. Its almost like they planted Del Neri there so they can get him.

I don't know who started that dump myth but it certainly one of these cliche's where someone says something and everyone keeps repeating it over and over again till people actually believe it !!

Didn't Pazzini himself score a hatrick against England in the wembley stadium ? Was cassano playing with him in that game too?!

The guy was decent enough with Fiorentina every time he came from the bench he either managed to score or get close to scoring. He didn't have such an impressive goal stats but to me he has all the tools to be a quality goal poacher. With experience he'll be just that. Give him time.
