Serie A 12/13

Luc Castaignos has confirmed that he is leaving Inter to join FC Twente on a four-year deal.

Twente have come to an agreement with the Nerazzurri for the former Feyenoord striker and will pay €6M to take him back to Holland.

Palermo accept Balzaretti offer from Napoli...nice..

he's also heavily linked to roma and he prefers roma to napoli according to media

He should go to Roma. They're more tolerable than that ratty ass club.

I think the move was confirmed today for 4.5 million Euros. Roma are shaping up very so far. If Zeman gets them working I'll become a closet Roma fan.

Not sure if they have a good RB yet, though.

I think they're trying to get Torosidis.

yes. right now we only have pires and taddei for rightback. we're going for torosidis next

i'm glad we're not signing only youngsters. torosidis is a regular for greece and olympiakos and he has already won all that he can. serie A will be a fresh new challenge for him

Juventus manager Antonio Conte has pleaded not guilty to match-fixing and will have a full trial. He now risks a 15-month ban from football.

ffs

Great blogpost on FI about the whole situation.

Prone to brain farts though

Fenerbahce sign Milos Krasic from Juventus for €7m.

"the coach is in the strange situation of being deemed guilty until proven innocent"

Why?

I imagine that is how things work in Italy. Same thing applies in Mexico, and possibly a lot more countries.

Why?

Because he was the manager of one of the sides accused of, well actually proven to be involved in, match fixing. With certain people claiming it's impossible for him not to have known about it. Oh and that one player claiming he admitted it. Who happens to get a reduced sentence for people he "ousts" who are "above" him. Conte could qualify to a significantly reduced sentence.

Bonucci could get a three year ban from his time at Bari.

Pepe doe... He could miss a year.

Who's gonna lead the line for AC now that Ibra is gone? Robinho and Cassano Id assume?

Don't forget The Duck, mang.

Hopefully that phaggot can stay healthy for football's sake.

Forgot he existed tbh

What about the El ShaWOWry?

thought this was a cool picture to share (partly because i'm a closet siena fan)

Some random places to have Siena fans.

Schnix, is it true that Roma beat a team 13x0 and Zeman said it wasn't enough?

i'm surprised too given that they're a serie B club

yeah, we beat some austrian club 13-0 but zeman said he didn't like the way we won. for example, he was saying de rossi was playing too many long balls and giving away possession

I know that people will probably say he's shit, but this is the Scottish Division 3 we're talking about here, opinions on Emilson Cribari?

Edit: He's also played for Udinese, Siena, Empoli & Cruzerio.

Haven't seen him play in ages.

Not surprised to see that Indo has 140 fans. They bum Serie A quite hard over there.

haven't heard that name in ages lol. napoli defenders aren't that great. that's why they need to play with 3 centerbacks for the job of 2

but then again, it is the scottish 3rd division. cribari wasn't first choice out of the 3 centerbacks but he wasn't notoriously terrible. i guess that's good enough lol

i was surprised. i thought they were mostly man city/man utd fans there

There's probably a lot of Man United fans there but the support for Serie A clubs is massive--well for Juve it is at least.

i'm curious to see our support map for Roma. looking at the stands during our american tour, it didn't look very multicultural
