Summer Mercato 2011

All the negative effects of smoking are eliminated with training I would think. I myself smoke, but I don't do any physical training, apart from a little football once in a while, so I can't tell you for sure. When I used to play football every week 1-2 years ago, I had healthier lungs and was in better physical shape, even though I have been smoking for about 5-6 years now.

From other forum there is rumor that we have agreed with Partizan Belgrade for defender Stefan Savic and deal is about 10 milion euro. Any media news about this to confirm the rumor exists? Anyone knows this player and watch his games?

Giuseppe Meazza used to smoke whenever he pleased.

@axeofpain

Some for sure, but surely not all. Smoking restricts muscle growth too.

Oh I just remembered--Dario Hubner also used to smoke.

Never heard of him. If it's true, I hope he's some kind of Vidic.

Of course not every footballer. But the amount of footballers who smoke is bigger than everyone thinks. Just read that some greats like Socrates, Zidane, Barthez etc used to smoke as well.

the first thing comes to my mind: non-EU? Are we going to use that away so easily already?

I hear you my man. I used to train with a friend who was gigantic, but he was a chain smoker. He was also a doctor, and he admitted that smoking does indeed restrict muscle growth.

Smoking can have an impact on the digestive system, influencing the conversion of nutrients, for example.

I don't smoke, but I have been training with weights for a while. I know people who have quit smoking, and who have enjoyed tremendous gains in the gym. Of course, it doesn't mean if you smoke, you will not be able to gain muscle, but you can be much better at what you do with weights if you don't smoke.

@axeofpain

Sorry I should be clear...I meant to write..."some of the negative effects of smoking, not all" effects of smoking can be taken care of by training.

You're right.

Okay let's get back to it. So far today, Allegri has confirmed that we have both Mexes and Taiwo.

Ibra is also staying, it seems .

Sorry for the distraction! =D
