Because he did good at Parma in his days.
To be honest, if he isn't too expensive, I do think he would be an ok signing, he just needs to be given confidence and then I think he can surprise us all.

Just look at his goal ratio, he scored an average 1 goal in 2 matches at Parma and 36 goals in 94 matches at Milan, which isn't bad either.

He didn't do ANYTHING in the past 2 and a half years. :tdown:

Forget Parma days.Couldn't be that he's for mid table clubs?Just like Borriello?

This and last season he was absolutely clueless.He can't score on empty goal and people state it's good we get him instead of Amauri?

:D

We are linked with fucking Gilardino and people think it's good!!

How for the love of God is something like that fucking good. :cry:
Oh, I do prefer Amauri over him, but I do think he still has the capabilities to become a good striker.
And 36 goals in 94 matches isn't bad IMO.
Gila is going to get shortchanged on the market right now. He's a castoff. I think he fits the buy-low/sell-high profile right now, because, while not a great player, he's better than Milan currently thinks he is.

Amauri is going to be pretty flush with interest and valuation right now. And he deserves it. But it sets a high bar for him to achieve at a club where the expectations are going to be that much higher among your peers (see: Gila).

Gila over Amauri could be a good deal if the finances make sense. Neither of them were going to be starter material for us anyway, IMO. At least as long as Trez and DP are healthy (which is never a given, esp. with the CL).

Not to diss my many Asian friends, but having been prior in Beijing, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, etc., much of Asia was the kind of place that was nice to see once -- but not necessarily to come back to.

I don't know what it is about India. Maybe it's the more liberal and diverse society here. Maybe some of it's the food. Maybe it's the people. But I am really digging it here. India has to be my favorite Asian nation I've visited by far. I would absolutely come back here even after my couple of weeks in Delhi.

Sure, it's got its crazy side... a lot of impoverished people, scugnizzi in the city streets that would put a clinic on their chump counterparts in Napoli, electrical and water infrastructure that's ridiculously behind demand, insane heat in May that makes you feel like your head is in a Tandoori oven, and some of the craziest transportation the world over. I mean, on that last point you've got bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, packed buses, auto rickshaws, horse-pulled rickshaws, three-wheeled bicycle rickshaws... and cows. And you put them all on city streets with virtually no rules of the road -- it's like watching the friggin' Wacky Races on any street in town.



Still, I've really felt at home here. There are so many eye-openers, but it's a rich tapestry of them. Perhaps one of the few Asian countries I could see living in for a while.

As for anything interesting that's happened, there's been no singular thing. Just a string of events -- like randomly meeting a 73-year-old native of Delhi who used to work in high fashion and gave us a tour of his favorite temples, or having no idea I would be dropping a couple grand (or call it "lakhs" in Desi-speak ;) ) on a Kashmiri silk carpet because I couldn't stop being wowed by the damn things, or...
Man I used to watch that cartoon when I was a kid :touched: Totally forgot about that.


Glad you're having fun in India, Greg. I'd advise you to go to Pakistan, especially Lahore and the North West Frontier Province if it wasn't for all the nonsense going on there :depressed

Pakistan has such beautiful places but our tourism is down the drain because of the violence.

ps: Lakh is a British unit originally which equals 100,000, but you already know that now seeing as you spent it :D

If that shit doesn't come out on 360, I'm going to be pissed.

Dude, Killzone is a Sony product, developed by Guerilla Games, based out of the Netherlands, who are basically owned by Sony.



And you decided to get a 360.

Wow. Nothing against the system (I had one for 2 years), but I think that by the end of the year you will see the max that the 360 can do.


I guess I shouldn't mention the uber-orgasmic Metal Gear Solid 4 that is coming out on June 12th, then.

Actually Burke, if you do a Google Search on Killzone 2, you'll see several more videos



Edit- I will keep editing this post until my "7500 Post Manifesto" is complete. It is a work in progress.

No, I totally agree. I just could not wait on the PS3 when the 360 came out.

I'm probably going to eventually try to get a 3 because of this game and MGS4.

No :D. Francois Sterchele. Even though he speaks French and is from Liege he is, or was, a very important figure in my town. Last year he came to Antwerp to play for Germinal Beerschot (one of the two teams in Antwerp) and became the Belgian league's topscorer. On top of that he was a really nice guy and even if he spoke French he was actually the embodiment of Antwerp spirit. He had Italian roots and celebrated his goals with the Luca Toni gesture (pazzo).

It's simply tragic.
