Italian Football Thread

It's also completely false at least for the moment. Much like the Chapecoense rubbish that flew around about Ronaldo donating $4 million to the players families, Ronaldinho playing for them for free etc, all perpetrated by shite like Sport Bible, it's all false and being done simply for numbers. Sadly, the Serie A commissioner was taken in by it and announced what a wonderful gesture this was by Fiorentina who then had to issue a statement themselves saying that they are remaining silent to respect and honour Astori.

The club now find themselves in a tricky situation. Every man and his dog seems to think that they are giving out a contract for life when they've not agreed to do anything of the sort. If they subsequently don't give out that contract for life they're not going to look great. But at least Sport Bible got some good numbers for it though that's all that matters :rolleyes:

horrible, horrible news, and what would seem to have been an entirely dignified response from the authorities - and the supporters of other clubs - in italy; well done to all concerned
makes you wonder what sort of disgusting performances would have taken centre stage had a similar event have taken place in england - respectful applause from the fans already in place for a game as the abandonment is announced - yeah, right oh - the remaining fixtures across the top two divisions immediately cancelled - but think of the cost of reimbursing ticket holders , and the hospitality suites - how awful - refunds, non-returnable deposits, policing costs ! break out the souvenir black armbands (including club crest and fully embroidered manufacturer's logo - 0.25% of profits after tax and deductions to go to charity); special edition scarves with black tassles - yeah - crack on with the money-making, chaps - stiff upper lip and all that, none of your continental style wallowing in self pity...

I probably ought to, but my utter revulsion for the footballing authorities in England knows no bounds - if there's a way to be crass, insensitive and generally stupid, ideally underscored by greed and a complete disregard for common decency, then they'll find it...you only have to glance at the latest catlan independence/nazi arseholery to get the general idea

"The second thing is that I need to make a clarification, as it seemed there could be a posthumous renewal of Davide’s contract, but it’s fake news.

“Fiorentina will do something for the player’s family, even if it doesn’t seem to have come out in the last few hours, but they prefer to keep it private and their decision must be respected.”

Teams to wear Astori shirts but contract talk is fake news.

good shout - wolfsburg, city and now roma
great news about the Coppa Italia too - that was very much a waste of time after the quater finals - might be a bit more interesting in the latter stages now
how about the three players to score 100+ goals in each of two different "top five" euro leagues ?


Zlatan is 1 of the 3 between ligue 1 and serie a.

RealMadrid are trying to beat Juventus to the signing of liverpools Emre Can.

I think he is a decent player but don't think he is as good as what people make him out to be

Think he'd be decent for Juve as they look to phase out Marchisio and Khedira in the coming seasons. He's very composed on the ball and the pace in Italy and the way Juve dominate games would suit him. Not sure where he'd fit at Madrid though.
