Is it just me or does Montolivo shoot from long range WAY too often? I think he has scored less than a handful of goals from outside the penalty area, yet he tries 4-5 times per game, never successfully. And it’s not only when he has a clear sight or no alternatives to pass, Riccardo shoots from every angle and distance no matter if team mates are in better positions. He might have a powerful shot, but if 1 of 5 hits the target it’s simply not worth it. I’m always frustrated when I see this week after week.

Tomas: LOL. I’d be tempted to say he looks a trifle Wolverinish – at least the hair – if we didn’t already have Bassy….

What about Luca Toni? He’s probably coming back to Serie A – would we want him? He’s 32. I’d take him for a reasonable price.

In the photo for this post, Vargas looks like a Latin American “Heat Miser.”

Does this whole Kaka story bring back memories of a certain ponytailed one being sold to Juve in 1990?

INNO DELLA FIORENTINA
Garry wind the Lambaro Viola,
on the fields of the challenge and valor,
a living hope consoles us,
We have eleven athletes and one heart:
RIT-”Oh, Fiorentina,
in each team will vogliam queen,

and will always be our victory:

INNO DELLA FIORENTINA

Garrisca al vento il labaro Viola,
sui campi della sfida e del valor,
una speranza viva ci consola,
abbiamo undici atleti e un solo cuore:
RIT-”Oh, Fiorentina,
di ogni squadra ti vogliam regina,
oh, Fiorentina,
combatti ovunque ardita e con valor,
nell’ora di sconforto e di vittoria,
ricorda che del calcio hai tu la storia.
Maglia Viola lotta con valore,
per esser di Firenze vanto e gloria,
sul tuo vessillo scrivi: “Forza e Cuore”,
e nostra sarà sempre la vittoria:
RIT-”Oh, Fiorentina…”
Forza Fiorentina!!!!! Alè Viola!!!!
