Its been a while since i last heard of this guy... Anyone here knows what hes doing? Where in the world is he? Is he injured?? He used to be so famous and know, nobody mentions him at all.. al I hear is beckham, Ronaldo, Ruud V and Sheva. ;)

he's playing in Qatar. Al Arabi i think.

The last I heard, the 34 year old Batistuta was playing in Qatar where he was making waaaaaay more money than what he is worth !:rockman:

Hes playing in Qatar for Al-Arabi.

The money is good and theres no club that would pay that amount for his services in Europe. So hes just trying to earn a few bucks before finally hanging up his boots for good.

Having said that, he might play for Fiorentina again for one last season.

Cool..dindt expect that...

not just that.

Footballers are always in the public eye and like to go around with a trophy wife.

So it works both ways.

He was supposed to be the next big player for Argentina after that guy retired...........what is his name> Diego Maradona. But Batistuta turned out to be a major international failure. No semis in 98 or 2002.

Gabrriel Batastuta is a class player

I hope he decides to end his career in Boca, that would be cool.

it'll be cooler to end his career in fiorentina :p

ok well now that we know where batistuta is let's ask the next question, where the hell is fiorentina :mrpimp:

they started over and even changed their name. does anyone what their name is?

They started over and changed their name to Florentia Viola (I think) but then the prez bought back the rights of the name Fiorentina and now they are in Serie B and there is a chance they could be back in the Serie A next year :o

Now that would be an incredible comeback...

From Serie C1 to Serie B in a year then from Serie B to Serie A the next :o

Actually they played as Florentia Viola in the Serie C2 (not C1) and they jumped directly to Serie B when recovered the old name.

It has nothing to do with batistuta, but because many ppl say i make tomany threads, ill ask here: how is Claudio Lopez doing?

how about H Sukur? and Rivaldo? how are they doing? :confused:

Hakan Sukur is in Galatasaray and Rivaldo are negociating terms with Flamengo after being released by Cruzeiro.

I think Claudio Lopez still plays for Lazio but I don't know if he's scoring as many goals as he did in his Valencia years.

What about Joseph...ughh hmmm...:crazyboy: I dont remember his last name:p He was a Barca player, last time i saw him was in season 00-01 Anyone knows whom im talking about? Ohh yeah! I think its Joseph Guardiola (or something like that ;)

Rivaldo was in Athens today and there are rummors he is in talks with Olympiakos where one of his best friends (he was his best when they were both playing for Barbe) Givoanni is playing.

55 Goals in 75 Internationals

If that is a failure, I have no idea what on earth you consider a success. So he didn't win the World Cup, he's still one of the greatest players to ever wear the argentine jersey.

That was a pathetic comment to make.:kader: :kader:

does anyone have any info on the players playing in qatar? i know batistuta, hierro, guardiola, but i know theres a lot.

Effenberg is in Qatar, too.

Steffan Effenberg, Frank Lebouef

Mario Basler (he scored the freekick in the 99 CL final)

Yeah, 56 goals in 78 games (number may be wrong...but it's close to that), and Argentina's top score (yes, more goals than Diego).....some international failure that is....

See the first page of the post, I already made him look like a fool for his idiot comment.:p ;)

It's a shame he hasn't returned to try justify that bit of stupidity.:kader:

Well it doesnt look liek they will get to seria A next year, they are struggling in mid table in serie B, they even sacked their manager

But i dont think it would prevent him from coming back to the club if he wanted to, Gianfranco Zola went to Cagliari in Serie B. BTW hows he doing anyway?
