Marco Storari 2010/11 review
Signed for 4m, after a brilliant season at Sampdoria, Storari proved a wonderful acquisition. Conducting the regularly changing defence as best he could, and as for goalkeeping; he was astounding. A worthy substitute for Santo Buffon. Did everything asked of him, and was dishonorably displaced, as soon as Buffon was fit enough to play at first team duties. Whilst Delneri spoke of meritocracy, as soon as Santo Buffon was fit enough to aim for the first team, he was back IN, as first choice between the sticks. And he fared far from perfectly. As you would expect of any keeper who had been out of competitive action for 6 months, who had zero connection with the defence, let alone the rest of the team other than what could be found through watching from the sidelines...I understand why Buffon was brought back so quickly. For we were in a period of worsening disappointment, game by game...so why not bring back one of, if not the, best keepers in the game, a true living legend...the error there was that between the sticks, we were solid. Storari was one of few players who showed decent Steel.
when called upon, he was either ultra dependable or magnificent. I hope he stays, but understand fully if he leaves, because he is simply too good a keeper to be playing second fiddle to anyone but the world's best.
Prediction: Sold...or used in part exchange, NOT due to pressure from our end, but due to a likelihood that Buffon will be number one, and Marco Storari, or anyone else, will be second choice.
Played 23. 6 clean sheets. 71 saves.
Storari 9/10

Paris SG to make Storari bid[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Paris SG are showing an interest in Juventus goalkeeper Marco Storari, according to reports.
Storari is set for a bench role in Turin this season given the presence of Gianluigi Buffon at the club.
Having been linked with Genoa and Roma in recent weeks, the custodian is now attracting interest from across the Alps.
According to the transfer rumour mill on Monday, PSG are ready to make Juventus an offer of €3m for the 34-year-old.
Storari was signed by the Old Lady a year ago in a €4.5m deal from Milan as cover for the then injured Buffon.
It’s unclear what Juve’s intentions are with Storari given that fellow reserve 'keeper Alex Manninger is being monitored by Sampdoria.[/FONT]

Typical Moratti.
