The question is; with Zebina, Carvalho and Chiellini in the backline, how great would our new set record be in amount of red cards during one season?
Zebina would not get any since he would be injured all season. :p
Sounds logical but you can`t just buy players who are not aggressive.Even if they do get all yellows/red with good transfer this summer we could cover that.We will have Mellberg and thats why I also said we need Ferrari.He`s perfect player for us but it seems he`ll finish in Milan.

I know, that would be a good backline. I was merely pointing out that those are three players that lack mental discipline and are all "veeerrrrrri agriiieessiiive" as Teddy KGB would have put it.

Agree wif dule, our CB options should be sufficient to withstand alot of red cards.
We will have melberg & Andrade .... If Ferrari is here, it will be perfect

anyway ... Chiellini + Carvalho + Zebina < Montero in terms of red cards :seven:

Ferrari's Milan Move Almost Done

Roma defender Matteo Ferrari is very close to agreeing to a deal to join AC Milan at the end of the season, according to reports in Italy.

Ferrari’s contract in the Eternal City runs out in the summer and negotiations to extend his deal have broken down.

Milan and Juventus have been fighting it out to sign the player on a Bosman transfer, and according to the Gazzetta dello Sport it is the Rossoneri who have won this race.

The European Champions have secured a verbal agreement with Ferrari, and details of the transfer which will go through at the end of the season, could become official by the middle of this week.

Ferrari is said to have agreed a four-year contract worth approximately €2.5m a season, an improvement of €1m on his current annual salary in Rome.

The 28-year-old signed for Roma from Parma in 2004, and was at the time regarded as a future regular in the Italy national team.

However this has never materialised and indeed Ferrari is currently not even first-choice at his club, as Philippe Mexes and Juan are Coach Luciano Spalletti’s preferred centre-back pairing.

Ferrari played in Saturday night’s 1-0 defeat to Juventus in Turin, and could keep his place for tomorrow’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.

Another good player lost and yet again I`d have to blame Secco.

The only one comparable to Montero in terms of red cards is Materazzi
which I rate both highly

i would have liked us to get Ferrari as he is a class defender for free. we don't seem to have money and have said our policy is to buy free players so i am wondering why we did not get him.

I am not bother by the loss as Leggro is doing wicked and Andrade will be back soon but getting another International level defender who is in his prime for free is a good thing.

Too bad.

Ferrari turns towards Inter
Thursday 24 July, 2008

Free agent defender Matteo Ferrari is looking for a new club after leaving Roma and Inter is now the most likely destination.

The former Everton man refused a new contract offer from Roma after a season of irregular activity in the Eternal City.

After a link with Fiorentina faded, Sampdoria became the favourites for his signature, but they have now been replaced by Inter.

“Ferrari won’t be going to Sampdoria,” agent Moreno Roggi confirmed on Radio Kiss Kiss. “The negotiations have stalled.

“There are discussions underway with Inter, but we will have to see how things develop.”

Ferrari is far from a priority for the Italian champions, but he could provide valuable cover.

However, it remains to be seen whether the Algerian-born ace will be willing to trade the Giallorossi bench for the role of understudy at San Siro.
