Two more games to go, and Sunday may be a special one. Not only will I be celebrating my birthday as we kick Sampdoria’s ass, it’ll most likely be Amauri’s last home-game in La Favorita. And he wants to say goodbye as a captain. The only problem is: our actual captain, Barzagli, is leaving too. So, they’ll need to battle it out amongst themselves. I say give Amauri the captain’s band. He’s given everything to the team, while Barzagli never cared about it.
On the Amauri to Juve thing: seems like not all is settled yet. Zampa already said that the deal is done for 98%, but don’t be too sure about that. This is what Rino Foschi had to say:
“We have asked for Claudio Marchisio, Antonio Nocerino, Giovinco, and Davide Lanzafame in return. If Juventus doesn’t agree, it will make negotiations a lot harder.”
Nocerino has already agreed to a Palermo-transfer if the deal gets sealed, but there’s more. According to the Dutch version of goal.com (yeah, I know, that’s like trusting your butcher’s sister’s cousin’s dogwalker), Amauri wants a 3.75 million euro salary. Juve wants to keep it below 3 million. Maybe Zampa can spend some Mandi-money. Milan is willing to cough up the extra money, and Juventus would let Amauri go to the rossoneri in exchange for Gilardino. Rotten deal, if you ask me.
According to Lorenzo, Man Shitty would be prepared to give 6 million euro in exchange for Bresciano. I can’t find any articles that can prove this, but if so: ship off the Ozzy! Zacc’s 7 (there’s even been talk of 9 million) + Bresciano’s 6 + Barzagli’s money…damn, we could get at least two studs for that.
And talking about those studs: how about this one? Diego Milito, former Genoa-striker, could be going to Napoli. Why not try and snatch him away from Zaragoza in front of their noses? Maybe we’re not a big enough club for those guys. At least, that’s what Espanyol-defender Zabaleta said. So, mister Big Shot Argentine, where did your club end up in the standings this year?
And then there’s this guy:
OGC Nice-keeper Hugo Lloris is being followed by a couple of Italian teams, including Palermo. The kid is young, secure, capped as a U21 for France and an unbelievable talent. Would be nice to het him on board.
RIP François Sterchele

I know most of you have never heard of FC Bruges-striker François Sterchele, but for me he was the only reason to watch the Belgian League. He was part Italian, loved Luca Toni and scored some awesome goals. In four years, he became the capocannoniere in 4th, 3th and first division, with a transfer to a higher level every year. Tonight, at the age of 24 and after only one year at a top club, Sterchele crashed his Porsche into a tree on the freeway-exit where I get off every day. I’m shocked, because he always kept saying he wanted to go to Italy, and I even mentioned him as a possible Palermo-target last week. Just as it did with ex-Serie A player Ludo Coeck in the 80’s, the biggest hope of Belgian football has died. François, you will be missed.

According to Kicker, a German magazine that is always right, it’s a definite thing: Cristian Zaccardo is leaving Palermo for Wolfsburg. God knows what he’s been thinking, but it gives us another seven million euro. But still, unlike his defensive brother in arms, he will be missed. Zacc, there’s always a place for you if you decide to return.
I’ll miss him so much, part 23547

Goddamn, that was a dull game. We can forget about Intertoto for sure now, so let’s start focusing on next season. That season might well be without Bosko Jankovic. A couple of weeks ago, he told Stadionews that he won’t be leaving, but now the Gobbi seem to be interested in the Serbian Stallion. That is of course only a Tuttomercatoweb-rumour, so let’s hope he’ll stay. I love the kid.
More from Tuttomercatoweb: Atalanta’s Ferreira Pinto, could possibly move to Sicilia this summer. Atalanta-coach Del Neri said nothing is sure, but there have been contacts. More possible transfers: Carlos Bocanegra is at the end of his contract at Fulham and doesn’t want to join his sucking team in The Championship. PSV and Osasuna want him as well.
Two Palermo youngsters made their Serie A-debut yesterday. Di Mateo was bad, really bad. Cani did well, but we should give the kid as much playing time as possible now that we have nothing to win or lose this season. Cani’s a keeper, Di Mateo can fuck off.
And last but not least: Paolo Hernan Dellafiore might be on his way back to Palermo. “Al Torino sono in prestito, il mio cartellino è di proprietà del Palermo. In base agli accord presi dovrei tornare - ha rivelato l’italo-argentino - le due società parleranno a fine stagione e poi vedremo l’evolversi della situazione. Zamparini mi ’vede’ nel prossimo Palermo? Ho letto più volte le sue dichiarazioni nei miei confronti. Ringrazio il presidente, le sue parole mi inorgogliscono e rappresentano per me uno stimolo in più”. Man, I’d love to see him back.
And a new poll: who’s our biggest future talent? I’m going with Salvatore Sirigu. Why? He’s had the most first team experience since his spell at Cremonese, and he’s being prepared for a first team spot for a couple of years now.

Sunday April 27th, 2008 15.00
Stadio La Favorità, Palermo
Squad Status
Palermo
Damn. Amauri and Rinaudo are banned for getting too much yellow cards, and so is Bresciano. Added to that is a shitload of injuries. Alberto Fontana, Edison Cavani, Giuseppe Biava, Ciro Capuano and Fabio Simplicio are all out injured. The good news is that Bosko will team up with Micco up front.
Probable Line-up
Agliardi; Cassani, Zaccardo, Barzagli, Balzaretti; Tedesco, Guana, Migliaccio, Caserta; Jankovic, Miccoli
Atalanta
Atalanta will be without injured Moris Carrozzieri and Leonardo Talamonti. Antonio Langella is suspended and Simone Padoin should replace him. Cristiano Doni returns from a ban.
Probable Line-Up:
Coppola; Rivalta, Pellegrino, Manfredini, Bellini; Ferreira Pinto, Tissone, Guarente, Padoin; Paolucci; Floccari
Categorical Matchup
Not this week.
Final Analysis
It’s the battle of the former coaches tomorrow. We all know how bad Del Neri’s passage in Palermo was, and Colantuono did great at Atalanta. Thee Bergamasci are just one point behind us and losing this game could cause us to lose the Intertoto-cup.
Last 5 years
16/12/2007 Atalanta Palermo 1-3 Serie A

2-1. Doni, Miccoli, Bosko.
MOTM
Miccoli.
Sono Bello, Sono Sano, Mia Madre Mi Ha Fatto Palermitano!
