He was the most expensive teenager in the world after
that debut goal against Inter when he was 18 at Bari. Roma snapped him up for what I believe was 20mil pounds. He formed one of the best partnerships I'd ever seen with Totti and was supposed to be the greatest Italian player of his era. Problem after problem from everywhere were bothering Cassano and then he left to Real Madrid after falling out with Roma. He also fell out at Real Madrid and soon after went to Sampdoria, where he enjoyed a very succesfull 3 years albeit with no pressure at all. He also fell out with Sampdoria and now has his final chance to be somebody in world football, and where better than Milan and when better than at the age of 28.
Only last year our bench was an injury prone Pato, Inzaghi, Huntelaar, Borriello and an inconsistent Ronaldinho.
Today we replaced Inzaghi, Huntelaar and Borriello with Ibrahimovic, Robinho, and Cassano. No one in his wildest dreams could ever wished that let alone expect it.
It's almost official as even Berlusconi has confirmed the deal. Cassano's expected to travel with the team to Abu Dhabi for their winter training camp. We could also expect him to start the next game vs Cagliari as Ibrahimovic is out serving a suspension.
