well, he wasn’t nicknamed ‘lucky luciano’ just because he shares the same first name with a certain gangster, i know that!

Yes, Dumitru, except that Corvino is actually honest about his dealings. Not something Moggi was well known for.

slakas — I’m not surprised “the Baron” got arrested for extortion concerning Milan and tickets — the group of Ultras Maldini made the “mercenaries” comment about was the group that threw a fit because the club didn’t support their getting illegal tickets to the Istanbul CL final. Truly a bad example of Ultra culture.

scudetto is a distinct possibility in the near future(2 or 3 years). inter are still strong, but juve and milan, with their ancient old squads, are not, so, at least we can overtake these two in the standings and qualify for CL regularly. The other potential competition, Roma are a mess, Genoa, with all their squad mutations, who knows what to expect of them, although i do see Lazio and, maybe Sampdoria as serious threats in the future. We’ve been linked to de silvestri in the past, but i also read that Juve are interested in him and i’m also not sure if Lazio would be willing to part with him. He would definitely be welcomed at Franchi.

ive read a few articles that your close to signing de silvestri. he would be a quality signing. with the way you operate in the market i dont see a reason why in a couple of years you can compete for the scudetto, so long as prandelli stays

corvino’s style resembles to that of luciano moggi, see how he manipulated the transfer of ibrahimovic to juventus from ajax.

the laker trade for pau Gasol is a prime example.
LA is a laker town first and foremost and you here nothing but lakers mostly on the radio.

there was talk of everyone coming here EXCEPT Pau Gasol
When that deal was annouced, it was a stunner

i think corvino likes to stun everyone

who knows who we are buying or selling? corvino is so secretive that you would think it hurts him when he speaks. everyone knew that juventus will buy diego or amauri last year, for example, and that surely raised the transfer fee. i guess the positive side of keeping it quiet is that you don’t inflate the price of the transfer, cause as soon as the players agents and their clubs find out that there is a strong interest, they start playing games in order to get more money.

but if you believe all the unoffical sources we’re selling every half decent player we have to “insert team here”
