Game rating is useless.

Here is another stats. Something I just realize today when drinking with my mates. The Barca and Milan this past week, the odds were 1.45 for the home team, 6.54 for draw and 11.75 for the away team. That's pretty screw up and I guess a lot of people made money bc most of the money were on draw.

"It is going to be an important game as Napoli have reinforced the midfield and strengthened the squad, so I consider them candidates for the Scudetto." the former Cagliari man told reporters during his press conference ahead of the game.

"Our options are limited by injuries, but we will go to Naples looking to play a great game. It is in these situations that the side can prove its strength. Don't forget we started slowly last season too, then found our balance and won the title."

My question to Allegri is why didn't YOU update your midfield? How do you expect to compete with Seedorf as your trequartista. We could have had Hamsik, Ganso, Diego, someone! Now we're in a $hitty problem aren't we?

That's hardly Allegri's fault though is it?

[reza]

Except Valoti nine mids are listed on the official site roster. Only 3 are signed long term AND not near the end of career. We really haven't fixed much

Ambro 34
Rino 33
van Bommel 34
Seedorf 35
Aquilani is not officially ours so will cost some money next summer
Flamini expiring in 2012

Montolivo 'no longer a Viola player'

http://www.football-italia.net/sep17k.html

Another Cassano?

I thought he was released.

"We get the feeling the player heard calls from outside sources. By reacting like this, he proved he is no longer a Fiorentina player and does not belong here.

“However, Montolivo is under contract and remains at the disposal of Sinisa Mihajlovic, so the Coach will decide whether to play him or not.”

but he is still under contract. maybe for free later then.

don't be so harsh on Allegri, my friend. I am sure that he would have done it if it was up to him.

Allegri publicly said he would like to coach Hamsik. He was not against bringing in players, but they need to be the right ones. Sometimes you just can't get what you want.

alot of interesting players in Serie A this year that are worth keeping an eye on:

Udinese's players really are interesting, I like Ekstrand in their defence the most, in midfield I like Badu, and in attack they have this really impressive player called Torje, I am going to watch him vs Fiorentina later

Atalanta are playing now and two players caught my attention, #10 and #11 Morales, even Schelotto is having a good game... Roma have Lamela, Pjanic and Gago (who both sucked yesterday IMO).. Palermo have Acquah who's been there for a while, Hernandez, Ilicic and Zahavi (none of which have impressed me yet), I am most impressed by Palermo's coach though....Genoa have Ze Eduardo and this impressive youngster called Merkel.... Lazio have Cana and Cisse who has been playing well for them so far.. Viola have Jovetic and a new Argentine striker up front (Gonzales?).


and about those FIFA 12 ratings, oh my how terrible are they.. Puyol & Pique better than Thiago and Nesta..smh... Seedorf at 80 and Van Bommel at 81 and Busquests at 83... Not to mention Valdes and Abbiati.... terrible ratings.
