I am the Perez Hilton of Calcio

By: Steven | July 16th, 2008

No, not because I’m slightly overweight, wear pink shirts and like to take it up the pooper (which I don’t), but because I bring you lots of rumours and gossip without any real sources!

As we all know by now, Milan has found a replacement for their fat, kinda gay lookin’, underperforming Brazilian. His replacement is, well, another fat, kinda gay-lookin’, underperforming Brazilian. In the meantime, half of Palermo still seems to be leaving and we’re after half of Serie A to replace them.

First, the good news. Sergio Floccari is not coming to Palermo. Sabatini blew up the deal, so he’s done his first good job. But Floccari probably won’t be staying in Bergamo, as another team is already on the look-out. Who? Genoa. That’s right, Foschi’s Genoa.

More good news: Emo’tino is getting playtime next year! At Triestina, but it’ll still be a chance for him to make some progress. Our other young potential, Edgar Cani, is close to a loan to Ascoli.

Seems like Udinese is after Mattia Cassani. Zamparini said he’s not going anywhere. I can’t blame him. I think you all might remember a little something called ‘kaboom!’:

Bresciano, on the other hand, is not untouchable. Not only is he transferlisted, but he’s even being offered to teams. Like Roma. They need a new benchwarmer now that Esposito is getting some playtime.

Too bad for Ricci, but Zigic ain’t coming. Zamp said that ‘he’s not needed at the moment’. Good, we can splash the cash on someone else. Someone like the person who said this yesterday:

“Per me è davvero un piacere ed un onore essere accostato ad una grande squadra e ad una società seria come quella rosanero.”

Wanna know who said that?

That’s right, Lil’ Abate. I love him. I love him like Martha loved Figo. And Vieri. And me.

And one last thing: we’re still after Michaël Chrétien, because Dellafiore seems to be leaving. A little more about him: he’s french-moroccan (which means he combines couscous with baguettes at dinner time), in six season he played 174 games for Nancy, scoring 9 goals. Oh yeah, and he looks like a tuffguy.
