The Azzurri Thread

That was a weird game. Italy was night and day when trailing vs when tied. The first half sucked, 2nd half was great. So many fouls... Brazil's strategy is foul if you don't have the ball.

Hey, can we actually give Giaccherini some credit here for actually showing up to play this tournament?

 

[Arnau]

Italy took Confe cup as the football Eurovision

I can't follow Prandelli's mind I don't know what he is planning

 

[Haarithan]

Hope we play the 352 against Spain as in the 1-1 draw in the Euros. de Sciglio and Giaccherini as wingbacks?

I don't get why is him inventing things, there's the Juventus base. Maybe because is Confe cup.

Giaccherini is god awful on the left and I've not seen him on the right, I'd say De Sciglio and Maggio

So..in this Post..news of two Probable transfers that might witness in Serie A before the summer transfer window slams shut both of them involving AC Milan.

The First one is the Japan international Keisuke Honda who has continually being linked with a transfer to a bigger club and this time round it's reported that AC Milan is interested in him. The San Siro side are keen to add some more creativity to their squad ahead of the 2013-14 campaign and, according to reports, they see the 27-year-old CSKA Moscow star as a valuable addition to their midfield. Also, Honda himself has told the media that he is now prepared for the next step in his career, which probably redirects to a summer move to a big club which at the moment looks like AC Milan.

The other one is Italian veteran Massimo Ambrosini. The veteran midfielder, 36, is available on a free after he was released by the Rossoneri this summer after 18 years at the club and has since been linked with a move to MLS as well as Premier League outfit West Ham United. However, the former Italy international prefers a prolonged stay in Serie A, according to his representative, and has set his sights on a transfer to ACF Fiorentina.

So you just copy and paste parts of goal.com news articles and put them up on your transfer rumors site as if you wrote them?

We have another Hisashi on our hands.

First off, thank you for posting and we greatly appreciate your participation on the site. That said, please note that team threads are for discussions about the team, and you're discussing Serie A transfers, and there are more appropriate threads for that (the Milan thread, the transfer rumour thread, the serie a thread...).

Thanx Azreal for Pointing out that small bit of mistake I made, I actually didn't understood in which thread to place the post exactly, anyways, I removed the Post.

To be honest mate..I am not even 1% experienced to what You are in relation to this forum..so it is taking me a bit of time to get accustomed to the Rules and regulations, the entire system itself, so I hope I'll be getting Your help in near future as well, if I make any mistakes further, though I'll try the best I can not to.

And let's now come to what 'YOYO913' said. Yeaa, it's true, I Got those news from Goal.com while I was searching for latest updates in that website and BleacherReport as well. Now what I wan't to know is, to people like us, common football fans as others will call us, what else than the internet can give us such timely news and updates ?? Is there any other medium as well..If you know of any such source, then I would definitely like to know it.

And I copied parts of the Article and haven't wrote it myself, but it's not that, I am claiming any extra credit for it. However what seems a bit interesting to me, is that, you seem to be more interested in auxiliary stuffs, like source, author, copyright maybe than Football news, stats and analysis, what most others like. Kinda cute, isn't it ??..

That's all fine and I agree with you. The only issue is that you run a facebook page where none of the content is original, and you don't source it. So it's wrong. Either source your information or don't post it, because you are taking traffic away from goal.com. If people want to see goal.com news, they would go to goal.com. Not to over-dramatize it, but it's stealing content. Goal.com probably doesn't care enough to do it but if they wanted to they could contact facebook and take that page down. I'm not saying that it will happen but if they wanted to facebook would legally have to take it down.

And yes, everyone gets their information from the internet, but they put it in their own words. They don't copy and paste from a different writer without giving any credit to that article writer.

Yeaa..that's fair enough of a Point..I'll take care of mentioning sources from this Point sharp. Actually to be honest, it's a new project that I've undertaken, so work here is a bit less than perfect due to focus on some other stuff..but I apologize on behalf of my team and in fact, I am forwarding invitation to you guys, if you have time and interest then it would be great if you join me, thanx a ton..

No No..actually it's not exactly that. However, if you wan't it to put it that way, I don't have much of a problem either..

 

[Arnau]

I was just kidding

Hahahaha

 

[Xifio]

turns out it was Spain who got the sobering defeat ...

the Confed Cup turned as a perfect preparatory tournament should ... winning on pens in the 3rd place match means it instantly washes away any penalty fears / heartache, AND it ends the tournament on a winning note ... and on the tactical side, Prandelli packing the midfield has now worked twice against the Spanish; wonder what the EURO final would have been like had he not reverted to a back 4 ...

and I've been touting the great Daniele De Rossi as libero since the 2011 SG Draft -- and it worked for Lucho at Roma, it worked in the opening match of Euro 2012, now it worked at the Confed Cup too ... Prandelli, you know what you must do ...

honestly, it's not hard to see what the final squad going to Brasiu next year that would look like for the most part ... my 23, who will hopefully be chosen on merit/form, looks like this:

Buffon
Sirigu
Marchetti

Chiellini
De Sciglio
Barzagli
Maggio
Abate
Bonucci
Ogbonna

De Rossi
Pirlo
Verratti
Montolivo
Marchisio
Giaccherini
Diamanti
Candreva

Balotelli
El Sharaawy
Cassano
Di Natale
Giovinco/Insigne


unless a target man (aka "plan B" striker) suddenly appears on the radar after a monumental season, I'd be very happy with that selection ...

 

[Rocky]

I doubt Cassano and Di Natale are going to be anywhere near that squad come the next WC. If Giuseppe Rossi gets back to form he's a better plan B in attack than a target man since his style of play contrasts Balotelli's more.

 

[Xifio]

hah, I'm still optimistic ... Toto doesn't seem to want to stop scoring ... the only question mark, really, is on FantAntonio ...

a full recovery and a full season for Pepito would see him on the plane, while leaving Prandelli with an excellent selection problem [of who to cut] ...

 

[Rocky]

Cassano can't even play 45 minutes anymore because his conditioning is so horrible. That's not going to change. You'd think he survive a half in Brazil next summer? He can barely run in one of the slowest paced leagues in the world, imagine him in 90 degrees with 85%+ humidity.

His move to Parma has signaled his end, really. Dude is finished.

And Di Natale is crap. I don't care how many goals he scores. He withers on the big stage. It's why he never made the move to a bigger club. Can't handle pressure.

 

[Xifio]

yeah, I've definitely said that about Di Natale before too ... but I'd rather Prandelli take him than bloody Gilardino again (coz I expect Osvaldo will find a way of ruling himself out of selection again) ...

as for Cassano: what can I say? I believe in miracles?
