I would be very upset if immobile isnt there. He and cerci are such a fantastic duo, would be a shame if they don't get prove themselves on the world stage.

I think a lot will depend on which De Rossi and Balotelli show up. Insigne is a wildcard too, he could have a coming out party with his tricks.

forgot to mention destro. not sure he yet deserves a spot on the world cup squad, but id like to see him get the chance. if were going off of form strictly this season totti should probably be ahead of him.

the way destro moves on and off the ball is nearly unrivaled for someone his age imo. he just has a real impressive nose for goal, and unlike most poachers, hes capable of linking play and coming in from wide. hes such a talent and i cant wait to see him get more playing time next season.

any thoughts on baselli? ive heard hes rejected the rumors linking him to PSG. atalanta would do well to keep him much longer, hes quite a talent.

also lol @ this

lmao, I hope he's just talking out of his @ss to try and increase his value by 1-2 million. 20 mill is already a stretch.

Baselli won't make the team due to the other guys we got in the midfield but he's legit...I'm excited to see the player he'll become. I think there's gonna be a midfield battle for the final roster spots between Parolo/Verratti/Poli. I think Parolo will find himself in Brazil

yes but I've read that they aren't interested in keeping him. I don't know the details so we'll see what goes down this summer

The most hilarious unintentional save by Mirante just now. Crazy few minutes before the half.

I was just hyping Paletta up here the other day. Now he gets a red with Prandelli in the stands and blows the game for his team, damn

Immobile's on FIRE. So curious to see where he'll end up next season

Milan are so screwed.

terrific news:

Giuseppe Rossi is back in full training with Fiorentina, including tackles in games between ranks.

The Italy star has been out of action since damaging knee ligaments on January 5, but is steadily getting back into more and more intensive training sessions.

Today he began to take part in games between ranks with challenges allowed, as previously his teammates had avoided any real physical contact during these tests.

It is hoped Rossi can make his comeback in the Coppa Italia Final against Napoli on May 3, which will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome.

Mario Gomez also hopes to be ready for that match, but he is still on a separate training schedule with Mati Fernandez and Ante Rebic.

Rossi needs to prove his fitness levels if he is to be picked for Italy’s World Cup squad this summer.

The way Ljajic has played last two games makes me wonder what goes on in his head. Supremely talented player that most of the time has no interest in playing a team game.

yea he's got talent but I would not want him on my team. He'll be an underachiever where ever he goes

good to see tevez finally being relevant in a non-domestic competition for once.

Cuadrado is such a beast. I hope he stays at Fiore though. This coach is really developing him as a player. He'd do well anywhere and I'd love to see him in a big club, but I think it's best for him to stay at Fiore.

Doormatt · Post #418 » by **Doormatt** » Fri Apr 25, 2014 12:23 pm

Also have to say i was wildly impressed by markovic. from what i had heard he was a lot of tricks with a poor work rate. thought he dominated the game tho. away goal is good for juve but still an uphill battle. kinda funny to see conte so pumped about that performance, it was alright but they barely created any chances on goal.

juve really need someone better than vuce/gio. quality players but just not continental quality. i still dont understand why giovinco never exploded onto the scene tbh.

I agree...I recall you wanting him to be out to a better team earlier in the year. If healthy, Fiorentina is a legit Champions League team if they upgrade 1-2 defenders. Montella and Conte are genius young coaches...the next Ancelotti/Lippi

I wish Llorente played yesterday But yea, Giovinco/Vuc aren't quite cutting it when it comes to the big matches. Giovinco just started playing well again in the past month and a half, idk what was wrong with him for like 1.5 years, very strange dip in form.

Vucinic and Quags are set to leave this summer. They have the option to buy Osvaldo for i think 18million which is a little pricy for him. The obvious choice seems to be, since they do own half his contract, CIRO IMMOBILE !!! They will surely be able to find time for Immobile/Tevez/Llorente, no problem.
