Buffon signing for Parma I swear this guys gonna be playing into the afterlife
Honestly speaking, he was better than Woj whenever he played last season. Itās ridiculous how good he still is lol
Surely this is it for Balotelli now? I imagine itāll be America or the Middle East next before retirement.
A career that shouldāve delivered a lot more. What a waste.
Iāll never get over his Euro goal against Germany.
I had no stake in the game but I remember going nuts because he was killing it
Commisso has been a disaster. He arrived promising investment and changing Fiorentina. All heās done is sign old players and sold Chiesa to Juventus.
@Phoebica were you happy with the Gattuso appointment to begin with?
Phoebica is a Fiorentina fan/follower?
Not especially. I thought theyād be a clash of heads somewhere down the line because of the influence of his agent Jorge Mendes. But I didnāt think itād be this soon
@GC-Maniac yes. I picked them originally years ago just because of their kit. But Iāve became quite attached
Shame to see all the early promises from Commisso amount to nothing though. I bet they cash in on Vlahovic and move for someone like Dzeko to replace him lol
Fucking hell I remember when he played there the first time. @SRCJJ I swear at one point Parma had Buffon, Cannavaro and Thurman at the back?
I love a bit of football romanticism lol. Even at 43, heās still a very solid goalkeeper so this move is a lot about coming full circle on his career as Iāve no doubt heād have received plenty of offers.
@BizzySignal yeah bro, the Parma team of the late 90s was great all round. Crespo, Veron, C. Zanetti if memory serves me right too. Chiesa as well
Good piece of business. Heāll learn a lot defending in Italy and honestly after last season I believe Milan have got themselves a very good young defender. Heās 23, heās got so many more years to grow and mature.
I think Chelsea fucked up here. I would take him over any of their CBs other than Rudiger. And Ā£24m seems pretty damn cheap, especially for an English player, in a world in which Ben White is going to cost Ā£45m and players like Kounde are being touted at like Ā£50-60m.
I could definitely see some English team buying him back for Ā£60m in a couple years if he is successful in Milan.
Tomori - Kjaer best CB pairing for Milan right now?
Or do you back Roma to come back
If youāre assuming Smalling leaves Roma, who starts in their backline with Mancini? I just canāt see Smalling staying there. Jose basically froze him out at United.
I meant Roma as in Romagnoli
You butchered Lillianās name so badly that youāve made me forget how itās spelt lol
1 player I hoped Wenger would get us and 1 he converted his position too.
Edit, itās thuram
