It was only last week when Delneri was openly defending Cassano...
“As a player, Antonio isn't up for debate. I left him when I left Genova and I don't understand what has happened now.
“He has this sword upon which he falls every now and again, and that can be damaging. But the task of protecting him is part of a Coach's job.
“He is a bizarre lad. But if I had misunderstandings with him in the first few months, there was then an intense relationship.
“Cassano is a natural talent for his physical and technical qualities.
“I think and I hope that the relationship with Samp can be repaired.
“Respect is fundamental. His insobriety is grave: if it's true that he went against the President, the relationship will become difficult.
“I think it's an obligation to be firm, but if there is the slightest chance of recovering the situation then it should be put into practice.”
Delneri gives me the impression he rates cassano very highly, and whilst acknowledging that he needs rather special care, that it is part of a manager's job to keep him in line, and to protect him from himself.
I hugely hope we sign him. he would bolster our attack immensely, and we have the only manager who has even partially tamed Cassano in the past, the recent past at that...talent wise, he could take over from DP. Yes, I know we have more urgent need for a prima punta, but...I would hate for Cassano to head to Inter.
I can understand people suggesting that a piece of human dynamite is the last thing we need when we have just retrieved our grint, and as a team we look kinda familial, which is surely the perfect environment to breed success, both on and off the field...
Ideally, we could have him on loan, with a price agreed and option to buy. However, if his contract is rescinded, could he not then sign for another club straight away????
The way Marotta seems to do business, I doubt we will hear anything from him regarding Cassano, until either he signs for another club, or signs for us. I like his style so far...confident and calm and concealed.
