Fiorentina: Silly Rumors and Real News
By: Ted | May 8th, 2008
With another few days before the second-to-last Viola game of the season (I am already starting to demonstrate withdrawal symptoms) I thought I would pass along another collection of links to real news and really questionable rumors. As always, let me remind you I am only a conduit for your Fiorentina news: I no more guarantee the accuracy of these stories than I guarantee the accuracy of my “predictions” before every Viola match. (If my predictions were always right, incidentally, Fiorentina would pretty much be undefeated.)
First, here is a nice article describing UEFA Honcho Michel Platini’s praise of Fiorentina for the sportsmanship they demonstrated after the Rangers loss, when they applauded their opponents off the field. (And here is Della Valle’s response.) This is why everybody respects the Great Man so much. This wouldn’t happen without Prandelli.
Here’s a little piece on my favorite midfielder with a girl’s haircut, Riccardo Montolivo, stating that the boys can still get the fourth CL spot. Likely or no, that’s the kind of attitude we need.
This article states that stalwart Viola defender Alessandro Gamberini would welcome Gila into the Fiorentina fold. (Hey, so would I.) In a separate piece, Gamberini argues that Fiorentina “deserves” fourth more than Milan. I know where he’s coming from, but as Clint Eastwood says, ‘Deserving’s got nothin’ to do with it.’
This piece reports that Mutu has been ‘offered’ to Schalke. Ahem.
…While this one tells us Ujfalusi is signing with Juve. For the love of…
Finally, apparently the deal with Stevan Jovetic is not quite done. I’ll try to let you all know if anything changes.
That’s all for now; hope everyone is well and getting ready for Sunday’s VERY big game.

So, are you guys already considering Barzagli part of your squad for next season? It’s either you guys or the Bundesliga…

I’d love Ufjalusi. Maybe he and Grygera can convince Nedved to stay for one more year and play in Euro2008 with them!

The following is from Corvino’s press conference today. Not sure if the link will work or not but email me anyone who wants it….
“su Jovetic Prandelli ha detto la verità, che non lo conosce…ci metto io la faccia. Ho portato un giocatore che sarà importante…se un giovane importante viene pagato 8 milioni di euro è una cosa diversa da un Mazuch che viene pagato 800.000 euro. Secondo me un giorno magari varrà 5, ma ci metto io la faccia. Jovetic lo volevano tutti, l’ho pagato 8 milioni di euro e annuncio l’acquisto.”
