"Super Pippo" Inzaghi

[theaxeofpain]

Today is his 38th birthday. Happy Birthday SuperPippo! Wish you the best, and win us the Champions League!

Oh, forgot to post his best goal here.

[Hitman]

quoting this from another forum:

Once upon a time in San Siro,
There lived a man who they called Hero;
Surprisingly skinny, physically weak for a football player,
Yet he managed to cut through every layer;

Adorning his favorite number 9 jersey,
He roams around the blind spots defenders cannot see;
Deep deep down in his burning soul,
All he wants is to score a goal;

Sneaking his way into the penalty box,
Like an old but cunning fox;
He slips through his markers like an eel,
Ready to taste his favorite meal;

He celebrates every goal like his first,
You will see a crazy man who has gone nuts;
As years passed by, he ain't getting any younger,
But hey no one can doubt his goal scoring hunger;

In the coming years, you may not see someone of his mold again,
For he is unique, highlighted by every trophy he has gained;
Believe it or not there is only one Filippo,
Who will be remembered as the great Super Pippo

Inzaghi is my 2nd favorite player ever (after Baggio). Wish he will soon be back!

Does anybody know how he's been doing lately? Is he injured or something? Is he even frickin alive? I rarely read about him nowadays. Both Galliani and Allegri have said that it's completely up to him if he wants to stay or not and I really hope that he does and it's not out of sentimental reason because nobody thrives on big games like Pippo.

I think he is on his way out. Lazio and Novara seem the most ernest potential buyers among Italian clubs. I hope that he goes to Lazio where he could pursue his dream further.

Galliani has essentially confirmed he's probably out to further his dream of topping the European top scorer list.

Allegri has also now come out to say he's not been training with the squad for a while now, so that's a key indication that Pippo's days at Milan look finished.

It's a shame it's happened this way, but ultimately I think the decision to essentially drop him is correct for the good of the side and our long term goals.

that's a bit unexpected from Pippo. so it is goodbye then. too bad it has to end like this.

the recent rift between Allegri and Inzaghi (credit to Capo Ultra with the following post on another forum)

"Let me start by saying that Inzaghi is almost like a son to me, but this time I'm with Allegri. He has to do what is best for Milan and currently there are players that are more functional to the team's play than SuperPippo.
But I know for certain that after the victory in Coppa Italia against Lazio, Pippo Inzaghi was at a restaurant in Milano. At a certain point, Allegri entered and Inzaghi got up and left the restaurant. He didn't want to go inside again to be close to his coach. Pippo is very angry with Allegri because he isn't being used in the matches, most recently in the match against Lazio, and I think that he is now really considering a change of air.
I heard that there are clubs in the Emilia region that are interested in him. As far as I know, he has offers from Parma and Bologna."

What do you guys think? It is kinda sad that it has to turn this way.
