    Ballardini’s going to Lazio.

    I hope one of the USA players breaks Gilardino’s leg in 10 pieces today

    I reckon Ballardini agreed in principle to take over Lazio last summer and perhaps Zampa heard through the grapevine.

    Just a theory but as a laziale, we weren’t fussed whether we got Zenga or Ballardini so I don’t think you got a raw deal.

    Here’s hoping we both have good mercatos.

    Had Zampa agreed to a contract recission with Ballardini? I thought he was still on Palermo’s payroll, just relieved as coach

    And after Bertolo, Paletta seems to have also signed. Another young Argentine, a defender.

    I hope the US gets destroyed. I really do. Other than a select few members of their national team, I’m not a fan by any means.

    I agree, if it’s USA v. France (or Belgium) obviously I’ll pull for the US, but otherwise, I’m kinda disinterested. Who do you like on the team, Lorenzo?

    I know you asked Renzo but I’ll chime in…Boca, Howard, Dempsey, and Twellman (only cause I played with him my freshman year and he was a leader, not a cocky fuck)

    Alessio – I like Boca, Altidore and Demerit… I think that young Mexican kid is alright too… Don’t remember his name though. I always respected McBride when he played.

    As for Landycakes, I’d easily put him in the category for most hated soccer players, but then again, his talent level doesn’t warrant him being placed anywhere near the same breath as C-D0uche (ronaldo) or Rooney. He’s too utter shite do be listed with them. At least they have talent.

    I don’t like the whole Pirlo-De Rossi thing, and Chiellini has been fucking things up all game. If you want to kick a black guy in the ass, go to Lampedusa Beach.

    How was the own goal dissalowed .. camoranesi didnt even touch the ball for the offside call .. and wtf were they calling for chiellini to be sent off .. diving attacker.

    and WHY WHY WHY doesnt an Italian team sign Rossi for the love of god!

    Colantuono joins the rest of the Palermo trashcan that is Torino.

    i know there is little talk about the transfer market but if we do add Paletta and Pastore i will be happy. Bertolo is already ours and he is looks awesome scoring 8 goals from midfield position. Were also in a fight with Napoli for another young Argentine by the name of Yacob. If we sign these guys our mid field is going to look solid in the future.

    We are also trying to get Bosko back from Genoa. And were linked with Menegazzo and bentivoglio from Chievo. So this transfer mercato seems to be starting off good. If we happen to sign these guys.

    I’m very skeptical about Pastore…but if we get him, it would be the steal of the mercato. Kid is quality.

    He was linked with bigger teams but it seems as we are the only team actively pursuing him. He has also stated that he wanted to play for us and that Palermo would be the perfect team for him to start his career in Europe. He also said he only wants to come to Spain or Italy so count out all the English teams. And I believe his owners except our bid of 9 million Euro. I think we are negotiating directly with him on his contract and on if he will come for the beginning of the season or Jan.

    KJ – yeah, my bad, that didn’t come across as clearly as I would’ve liked. I meant, I’m very skeptical that we will be able to sign him. I’m not questioning his talent level…

    It’s similar situation to Nilmar. Shepheardboy’s current owner snubbed our offer harping on how he still needs more experience and that bullshit, so they can raise kid’s price and sell him to bigger club on the next transfer window.

    Bertolo arrives in Palermo July 6th and Paletta is coming to us on loan. Which if what Kat says is true that he sucks then this is a good way to find out with out investing money in him.
