Rumors are that Liverpool have signed him on a free. Probably BS, but would still like to know about him
and they could have been 1200 euros if hamburger would have won..... damn duisburg!
talking about the best 11..... may i pick also 1 backup for each role? coz he's damn tough to choose just 1 player.
----------------------------------------------amauri
----------------------------------------------(cruz)
-------------------------------di natale----------------cassano or del piero
-------------------------------(mutu)-------------------(camoranesi or quagliarella)
----------------------------montolivo--------cambiasso-------de rossi
----------------------------(tissone)-----------(liverani)-------(zanetti)
-----------chivu-------------------samuel----------------zapata---------------maggio
-----------(comotto)-------------(gamberini)-------------(carrozzieri)--------(maicon)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and this would be my rookies\youngguns picks
------------------------------------------------acquafresca
------------------------------------lavezzi----------------------hamsik
------------------------------------(giovinco)-------------------(diamanti)
-----------------------------juric---------------marchisio-----------cigarini
-----------------------------halfredsson---------gargano-----------kuzmanovic
------dossena-----------------------------cannavaro jr.--------domizzi-------------------mesto
------(vargas)------------------------------(knezevic)----------(marzorati)---------------(raggi)
i picked dossena and vargas for the left back position..... but it's really hard to keep de silvestri, radu and kolarov out :anx:
and maybe borriello should take cruz's spot as amauri's backup.
what about your picks, Dom?

:-pp
.
. yes the times i have seen this man play, i always felt he could break the game wide open like the great ones can.. .sad some asshole mafia fucker had to ruin his career.do u remember Dom, when, a few months ago we were talking about why fabrizio was treated so badly by juventus?... well, now we now why.
http://fourfourtwo.com/news/italy/6690/default.aspx
Fabrizio Miccoli paid an high price for doing what a few people had the courage to do here in italy: defying Luciano moggi and his gang.
u might think fabrizio is just trying to blame the moggis for what happened to him. But fabrizio is the 23rd player who told exactly the same story to the italian magistrate Luca Palamara (who is guiding the criminal trial against the moggis and the GEA).
amoruso, baiocco, grabbi, and many other players told the same story. they were "advised" to fire their own agents and to join "the gea family", moggi told them their carreer would have been "easier"....
most of the players said ok, but some of them didn't (amoruso, grabbi, miccoli and many others). when they refused alessandro and luciano moggi began to threaten them. they said "if u won't change your agent and hire the gea then u won't play football anymore, your carreer in italy will end..... "
and it's a very worryngly coincidence that all those players who had the courage to say "no" actually faced exactly those troubles moggi threatened.
i can't wait the trial to end..coz i really can't wait to see those 2 bastards (father and son) in jail.
on the other side, i have be thankful to them, coz thanks to them, now i can watch an amazing football player showing his pure class at the renzo barbera stadium every week.
moving to less disgusting subjects, fabrizio miccoli is a fantastic player, and we all know it. we all saw, through the years, what he can do with a ball, we all read about ronaldinho asking rijkaard (after a juve-barcelona friendly match, played a couple of years ago) "who is that footballing genious"... we all know he could easily be playing in top clubs like real madrid, milan, inter, man utd, , etc... coz he's really on the same level of some of their fowards.
is he as good as del piero?... i guess not. but how many players in europe are as good or better than alex? honestly a few.. And however Don, u can't deny it, he's very close to him, talking about technique.
giovinco honestly seems to be following roberto baggio's footsteps, rather than del piero's ones, so yes, he is more promising than miccoli was...... but miccoli already kept his promise...while sebastian has still everything to prove.
p.s. i know it's crazy to compare sebastian to such a legendary player like baggio, and i'm not the kind of football fan who usually exalts promising young guns, attracted by the general hype..... but let's face it, they speak the same language on the pitch, i watched giovinco a lot this season and honestly it's almost scarying what a huge resemblace there is between his movements, his tendencies, his features and roberto's ones.
of course this doesn't mean anything. sebastian might turn into a flop, into a good player, into a fantastic player like miccoli or into a world class player like alex.
but what he showed us this season is more than a "miccoli wannabe" player, it's even more than a "del piero wannabe" player.... i mean, look at that video i posted, look at his goal last week, look at his last 3 performances with italy under 21 team....that's not what del piero does, neither cassano or totti.... that's what roberto used to do
Yeah, I heard about Moggi extorting Miccoli. And yes, it's pretty disgusting.
Anyway, I really liked Miccoli as a player. I always used to hope he would succeed for us, but I think he just falls short a level. He's in line with the Di Michele's of the world, very good players, but not in league with the Del Piero's. Although the Del Piero's of this world are of course very few
Talking about Giovinco, i've rarely seen a player as talented as he is. If he does not succeed, i'll never make any predictions about talents ever again. His style is quite similar to Baggio yes, but Del Piero at Giovinco's age was out of this world. The Del Piero of Giovinco's age was a vital figure in juve's CL triumph.... Who knows Giovinco might do the same next season..

that's true, and i remember it. but del piero has always been a supporting striker. while giovinco is a "fantasista" (like baggio or like the old totti, the real totti). but he's very different from totti and terrifyingly similar to baggio.Don said:
yep. it's not that bad anyway. every week he plays with players like barzagli, fontana, zaccardo, simplicio, bresciano, balzaretti, amauri (the chemistry between him and amauri is something fantastic).........
shit, can u believe such an awesome team is just 10th in serie a!
never make predictions about young players mate. it's absolutely impossible to predict what a talented guy will turn into. bad companies, bad relationships with a coach, carreer-destroyng injuries (like the one del piero faced)... there are too many variables.... also the momey and the hype can destroy a weak personality (did anyone say cassano?).
infact i'm not saying giovinco will become the next del piero or (even better) the next baggio.... it would be ridiculous. this is his just first season.
the only thing i'm saying is that i've heard about this guy since he was 16; "the little genious real madrid and barca fought for, the best juventus primavera player in the last 10 years, the kid who was so good he used to play with guys 2, 3 years olders than him", and stuff like that.
but u know, every season the press talks about the new superhyped young star (even though spanish and english press is much worse than us, talking about this "hype factor").
So i watched him playing against palermo. after the match i was thinking "ok, he probably just played the match of his life". after the match barzagli said it was a nightmare trying to mark him. he said sebastian dribbled him about 5 times, each time with a different movement "it will take years to learn to stop this guy" (his words0.
then i watched him again and he played exactly the same way. so i watched empoli playing again, and again and again. i guess i watched something like 8 empoli matches and 3 italy under 21 matches this season, and he always played on the same level.
so, i'm not gonna tell u he will become a legend or a great player, or just a good player... i don't know. the only thing i can say is that it was amazing watching this guy playing football this season.
that's true, and i remember it. but del piero has always been a supporting striker. while giovinco is a "fantasista" (like baggio or like the old totti, the real totti). but he's very different from totti and terrifyingly similar to baggio.
