On gazzetta (the link is: http://www.gazzetta.it/statics/scalcio/pp_1.0.47191893.html ) ther's a nice article who say that Roby may stay in Brescia (Is the first who say that).
Here is the english translation I hope is understandable:

BRESCIA, 3 June 2003 - He is in the heart of everyone and this is known. But perhaps not even him was waiting for much tributes in an alone time. Roberto Baggio rewarded from its Brescia club of Ospitaletto there can be, but the recognitions of the Prize international organizing by Udinese (to the career) and of the «Life-not profit magazine» (for the activity benefiche and the initiatives of solidarity) should have surprised also who was elected the fourth Fifa player of all of the times.

Roberto Baggio the favorite of everybody in field and outside. Roberto Baggio still captain of Brescia? After three seasons as a protagonist, three years of a bomber in growing (10 gol in 2001, 11 in 2002, 12 in 2003), with comfortable athletic test, a found continuance (32 entries played), a pearl on freekick thelast day the Divin Codino is courted from the Japanese club and of Qatar. He could follow the example of Batistuta, flown to The Aarabi for different millions of excellent motive, and than maybe go to Florence in a year, to close the career. Or to accept the proposals of the Palmeiras, with the sponsor Diadora to celebrate a marriage fascinating.

But after three unforgettable years in biancazzurro Baggio feel strong the attachment to a team, Brescia, that put him on the throne and never put him in discussion. From Brescia he can restart, also if orphan of Carletto Mazzone, not only cause he has a contract (in expiration in 2004), towards the goal of 200 gol in serie A and before towards the qualification Uefa. "Baggio will remain because is a serious person" said Mazzone after left Brescia. "Baggio? The ideal player" underlined De Biasi, with every probability the new coach biancazzurro. Brazil, Japan and Qatar can wait...

P.S.: In the pic Roby dedicating his 300 career goal to his dad :)

According to Brescia president and Roby manager Vittorio Petrone Roby want to stay in Brescia, of course if the team will be competitive in his opinion. The point is that his knee is getting worst and worst and this season he soffered too mutch so he need to affort an other surgery. It will be the 6°, so is not so sure that he will feel like to do it and start again an other time, he will probably decide what to do when he will be back from Argentina, at the end of June. But one thing is sure or he retire or he will stay in Brescia, he won't change jersey again.

Brescia President Corioni said that he wisch Roby will decide to enter in the ospital around the 20 of June so he will be able to play 4 the beginning of the season, but he added that he can garanee nothing, is Roby decision what to do.

Me neither, BUT the surgery might not help much and he would have a lousy season with being on and off the pitch with injuries which would make it even worse IMVHO :undecide:

shit another surgery... i think the time has come... :frown:
i would want him to keep playing, but if its not the 'real' Baggio out on that pitch, entertaining and exciting the fans, i would rather him retire.

He has done well, we all know that.. he only wanted to do 1 more thing....

get the200th serie a gol -

and i think he will play until he reaches that target! :strong:

Mmm :confused: last season he played with that problem, and he definetly did a good season, considering also that at the beginning he was still recovering from the reconstrution of the other knee, the left, which now is fine. The one who need is a new surgery is the right, and I think that this a thing that he need to do anycase, also if he will quit, and also I don't think that it's a very long and bad thing, so I don't belive that next season will surely be so problematic, the only problem will be starting the training later and so probably entering in a perfect schape later... but getting rid of this problem he will be hopfuly more healty than how he was last season. So I'm positive :)

The list about the songs dedicated to Roby has to be upgraded, there is a new one: "Baggio in Nazionale" singed by "Rosacoletti", here is the link to listen at it: http://www.robertobaggio.com/upgrades_pages/images/Baggio in Nazionale.mp3

Zucchero said that also a song from him is inspired to Roby but cause it didn't name it I didn't figure out which one it is, anycase it's in his CD "spirito divino".

------------------------------------------------------------------

According to media Roby will be back from Argentina tomorrow or anycase one of this days cause the 20 of June his brother Eddy is going to get marry.

New Brescia coach Gianni De Biasi (today is his birthday) release an interview saying that the best birthay gift came from Vittorio Petrone who said that Baggio will stay in Brescia :)
He added that he is not so worry about the umpteenth knee sugery that Roby has to affort cause isn't a big thing, and it will be useful to give Brescia a stronger and healtyer Baggio.
About how he will manage to train Roby he answered that Roby follows from years a personal trainig so it will be "stupid and ridicolous" to try to change it, so obviously Roby will keep on traing alone with Enrique Miguel, his personal trainer.

In the pic a Baggio's sculpture, looks like Roby really inspire artists :)
