Possibale if that fucker agnelli opened his wallet and gave marotta the chance to sign some real players for del neri to use.
mascherano to be the boss of the midfield
cissokho and beck/tremoulinas to give some serious speed and defensive power to the backs
bastos to give attacking impuls on the left.
forwards are fine since we cant afford real upgrades anyway.
Mascherano ?! Whaat :| - Melo is way better Masch sucks !
I would prefer Mascherano money to spend in someone else .

What Serb dont want another Serb :|
He's a Serb? I would def sign him :agree:
Serbia has only Serbians in their NT team. Unlike Italy, they don't give a fair shot to second-string Brazillians and Argie's who want to give it a try to the national football. Although Serbia do have Sulejmani, don't know how much of a Serb he is but he's awesome.

    Youree Dell Harris (born August 12, 1962 in Los Angeles, California),[1] better known as Miss Cleo, is a self-proclaimed psychic and shaman who achieved fame as a spokeswoman for a psychic pay-per-call service from 1997 - 2003. She reportedly earned $13.5 million in this capacity.[2] Harris currently offers private psychic consultations and other services through Wahgwaan Entertainment, based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

    Harris has allegedly used numerous aliases throughout her career, including Cleomili Harris, Youree Perris, Cleo Harris, and other variations.[3]

    [edit] Early life and career

    In 1996, in Seattle, Washington, Harris (under the name Youree "Ree" Harris[4]) and her partner opened a production company which produced several of her plays.[3] She acted in her first project, an autobiographical play entitled Women Only: A Celebration of Love, Life and Healing. Her last project, Supper Club Cafe, was not successful and she "left town with a trail of debts and broken promises".[3] Reportedly, the "Miss Cleo" character Harris later used in commercials was based on a Jamaican character called Cleo that Harris performed in this play.

    Instead of paying money owed to the people who had taken part in her productions, Harris "told her cast members she had bone cancer" and "her medical costs would prevent her from paying people immediately", but she wrote each actor and crew member a letter telling him or her how much money she owed them. The actors and crew were never paid.[3]
    [edit] Psychic Readers Network

    In the late 1990s, Harris began to work for the Psychic Friends Network under the name Cleo. After working as a phone operator for over a year, she appeared as a television infomercial psychic in which she claimed she was from Jamaica. She was paid $1,700 for her first infomercial, followed by a flat fee for each commercial she appeared in thereafter.

    The Psychic Readers Network is said to have coined the title "Miss Cleo" and sent spam e-mails, which stated, "[Miss Cleo has] been authorized to issue you a Special Tarot Reading!... it is vital that you call immediately!"[5] Charges of deceptive advertising and of fraud on the part of the Psychic Readers Network began to surface around this time. One such case was described in a CourtTV report investigating Miss Cleo and the Psychic Readers Network. In late 1999, Stephen Schwartz was in a "state of depression" and called Miss Cleo looking for answers to his personal problems. After speaking to the "psychic" who "commented on his personality and character, but offered little else in the way of a psychic reading", Schwartz ended the call. Later, Schwartz was billed $300 for the call, but sued and ultimately won $200.[6] CourtTV and other sources also reported that the "psychics" who gave readings over the phone were in fact reading from a script (which was, in part, plagiarized from a book on tarot cards).[7]

    In 1999, the first lawsuits were filed against Harris and her promoters concerning the psychic network's business practices.[5] In 2001, Access Resource Services d/b/a Psychic Readers Network was sued in various lawsuits brought by (among others) Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Florida, and the Federal Communications Commission.[8] Plaintiffs charged that the company's owners and Harris' promoters, Steven Feder and Peter Stotz, had made it appear that Miss Cleo owned and operated the Psychic Readers Network. Ms. Harris herself was sued by the State of Florida.

    In 2002, the FTC charged Feder and Stotz with deceptive advertising, billing and collection practices; Harris was not indicted.[9] Her promoters agreed to settle for a fraction of the amount they took in.[10] Investigations helped publicize the fact that Harris was actually born in Los Angeles to American parents and had never lived in Jamaica.

    Harris has since been researched by the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. Bob Steiner, CSICOP Fellow and magician, has observed that her techniques and methodology were at best questionable.[11]

    Harris illustrated a full 78-card Tarot deck entitled "Miss Cleo's Tarot Power".[12]
    [edit] Personal life and subsequent career

    In 2003, Harris (as "Cleo") went into private practice as self-described shaman and spiritual advisor through Wahgwaan Entertainment, based in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.[13] As of 2007, the site advertises one-on-one tarot readings (priced at $200 and up), "house cleansings," "energy cleansings," wedding ceremonies, and private appearances (although the site stipulates that the appearances are granted only for "non-profit and not-for-profit fundraisers and functions").[14]

    Additionally, the site describes her as "a survivor and victor of domestic emotional abuse" who is "committed to bringing an awareness to Domestic Emotional and Physical Abuse in the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender community and to begin the healing." The site describes a series of workshops to be held by Cleo aimed at leaving an abusive relationship and "taking back your power from fear & shame."[15]

    In the October 2006 issue of The Advocate magazine, Harris announced that she is a lesbian.[16] In 2003, the New York Daily News reported that TV music network Fuse had signed Harris as a spokeswoman.[17] In early 2005, Harris was reportedly appearing on television as Cleo in advertisements for a used car dealership in Florida, according to the Broward-Palm Beach New Times.[18]

    Cleveland television station WJW-TV reported on May 7, 2008 that Harris is a practitioner of Voudun.[19]

    What Serb dont want another Serb :|
    He's a Serb but he's playing for Spain :D

    But nah, I don't honestly think he's good enough and plus he's a type of player who I don't rate much, very limited.

    He is a serb, from minority group, but a serb, Sulejmani that is (Bojan is half serb, his father).

    And I seem to remember Serbia fans/media/Partizan hyping up that brazilian player to the NT and him getting citizenship etc, who's name I forget because I dont bother remember players who go to Chinese league :D
    Liverpool and Genoa wanted him badly but they had problems since he was a non EU and couldn't get work permit. It fell apart so he went to China (biggest transfer in their history :shifty: 4mln). But there's an economical problem with transfer of money between the countries.
