I know for a fact you don't get coverage of the Superliga and you've probably never even seen Pepe play, except for perhaps a couple Champions League matches. So your opinion regarding Pepe will be stuck in place along with what I think of your opinions regarding Italians and calcio as a whole... in il gabinetto.
And of course you'll prefer a 33 year-old Italian to another fantastic stopper in Milito 7 years younger... again that just shows how biased you are and how much you know about football.
No, just stop right here. We don't need Almiron?? Are you seriously saying we don't need a player who can distribute the ball with the accuracy of the best in Italy? Knowing you, you'd probably take a player such as Blasi over Almiron just because he's Italian. Anybody can see that.
You're just an idiot and the forums were far better when you were banned. Take your biased Italian pride elsewhere.
I realized you are a pastey, wanna-ba internet calcio know it all, but you should at least listen to people speak before foaming at the mouth. As far as Quagliarella being a flash in the pan... so could Huntelaar (I say him because so many people think he is so great).

I have only seen Pepe play in Champions League, where he got totally exploited. How is that not enough info? The bolded part explains a lot about you.
And yes I would prefer a 33 year old Captain of the WC winning squad, the leader of Juventus the year prior and the defensive captain of a champions Real Madrid. It is not a matter of luck that he is just happening to be on Championship teams. He offers far more to our younger players than Milito altough I have stated in the past that Milito is a good option as well, but is not the player Cannavarro is. Younger, yes, better no. Don't let your spastic rage cloud your perception of reality.
We didn't need Almiron. Tiago is almost the same player. I little less physical, but he works harder. Almiron was not needed. I like Almiron, but did not understand the purpose of his pickup since we got Tiago as well. Didn't make sense. Either one would have dont fine. So, I am saying we don't need two "players who can distribute the ball with the best in Italy".
Blasi over Almiron... are you trying to create circumstances out of thin are to make me look like I am just biased. I don't recal ever naming an Italian DM in my wish list.
It also am starting to realize how bad it is to have Italian pride when I love a team like Juventus. Unlike most people on the English speaking forums, I was able to love a team not because I though there jerseys were neat, or they had my favorite player on the team, or because they won the title the year I started watching soccer. No the fact that I have Italian Pride and love to support the team that represents the very best of Italy is surely, according to your twisted standards... all just biased and ignorant.
Odd person.
