Just when Milan needs a goalscorer, too. I really think that's where he's going to go, either January or this summer.

Livorno President Aldo Spinelli has hit out at Marco Amelia after his comments following the dismissal of Coach Daniele Arrigoni. “I want to sell him,” he stated.
The outspoken chief sacked the tactician after the 5-1 hammering against Atalanta on Sunday, causing the entire team’s furious reaction.
Captain Cristiano Lucarelli stated that he supported the ex-Cagliari boss and goalkeeper Amelia confirmed that his teammates wanted Arrigoni to stay.
“Amelia has a sharp tongue, like all Romans,” said Spinelli in an interview to GR Parlamento. “I hope I will be able to sell him in January, otherwise he will sit on the bench.
“I tried to teach him good manners, but he ended on the bench in every club he played for. I hope he immediately finds a new outfit.”
Spinelli, whose side is only four points shy of the Champions League spots, also replied to Lucarelli, who hinted that he might take drastic measures if the situation does not improve.
“He is the captain, but if the team wanted to save Arrigoni they should have all played better – words mean nothing now. In any case, Lucarelli is contracted for another five years.”
The President will meet with the board of directors on Monday, but is set to confirm his decision.
“I do not believe I will change my mind, we earned three points in eight matches with a 26-man squad. We have no excuses for yesterday, we either failed the preparation or the formation.”
Bortolo Mutti and Serse Cosmi are both being paired with the Tuscan minnows, although it seems that the latter’s financial requests might be considered excessive by the outfit.

Chimonkey was the worst keeper Juve had the last decade...
He was not a serie A player and was a disgrace to wear the black and white jersey,
Amelia's clean sheets >>>> Mirante's

if he was a disgrace to wear our shirt, then god knows what word to use for zlatans excuse for gracing our maglia
And you seem to forget his struggle to loose a championship for us against Milan,
his almost non existant cleen sheets, a keeper cannot be judged by one lucky or bad day,
remember his extremely poor passing abilities?
his mediocre positioning, laughable reflexes/reactions, off time intervention, inability to react against any kind of air attacks, inabilty to catch/block the ball at any circumstances and the effect of the black hole he tends to create between the bars he is trusted to guard each time?
he was a waste of time,wage and space
and he managed to confirm that to me, almost every single time he played,
there were games with 2-3 goals on target and he somehow managed to concede 1-2 goals!!
Thank God he is history, he brought us no money but at least there is a wage less to pay and some space for some other keeper with real potential and future...
i ve heard regular football did him good, good for him...
better for us.
I thought your title was a sarcastic/ironic attack on him,
i still cant believe the hidden affection from your side,
thats a rare thing!! i have nothing personal against you and i dont want to keep this debate any longer, dont take it personal, its just happened to consider Chimenti one of the worst keepers i ve seen with the Juve jersey the last 10 years...
But i do not hate Chimenti, its not his fault he wasnt Juve material(it was so obvious to me and i just hated the fact, that it took so painfully a lot of time, for our managers to realise that),
i understand your hate on Zlatan though and i m sure i dont share not even 1% of your hate on Zlatan on Chimenti...

Another row is brewing at Livorno, as President Aldo Spinelli suggested Marco Amelia should be benched while his transfer status remains unresolved.
“The transfer market ruins players,” he told ‘Teleradiostereo Sport’. “Amelia has always been an exceptional goalkeeper, but with the multi-million pound deals he has been offered, I am worried he’ll lose concentration.”
The comments come just hours after Lazio froze Massimo Oddo out of the squad against Milan – the team he is set to join.
“When a player reaches the level of the Biancocelesti captain, you have to let him go. One has to face reality. In my view, Lazio did well in not playing him against Milan, because he’d be under too much pressure.”
The tension between Spinelli and Amelia has been growing rapidly with negotiations to join Spartak Moscow, but above all following the firing and re-hiring of Daniele Arrigoni.
The Coach was sacked after the 5-1 defeat to Atalanta only to be brought back two days later when the squad protested.
Amelia was at the forefront of the discussion and the President later noted he had “a sharp tongue and should be careful.”
Spinelli is well known for his argumentative nature and insists he was correct to sack Roberto Donadoni – who went on to become Italy Coach – when his team was in fifth place at the start of 2006.
“We argued over Nikola Lazetic. I wanted to keep him and he didn’t. Donadoni is a great man, but the facts proved I was right.”
