A Livorno Mercato (We keep Candreva)

By: Marco Stucazzo | June 28th, 2009

Here’s a bunch of unorganized,misspelled, mercato ramblings

Francesco Ceravolo leaves Livorno a winner and New DS is Nelso Ricci and he’s been working overtime already…

Spoke to Milan :

Ricci: Yo Galliani ! I’ll give you a cool Million and 50% of Cesena mid Diniz for all of Romano Perticone ?
Galliani : Ok
Ricci : Sweet! Thanks Uncle Fester

Then spoke with Juve :

Went something like this : Yo Secco ! You know how Rizza and Volpe are in comproprietà…well how about you keep Volpe and we keep Rizza ? (covering the phone while he’s laughing) Secco : Let me get back to you on this one. And please charge Dario Knezevic’s return to YOUR purolator account !
We’ll see what we do with him once he gets here. Rizza was won at le buste by Livorno with a 100 000 $ bid.

Met with Parma :

Ricci : How about that Cristiano Lucarelli fellow ? We’re looking at a 2 year loan and we’ll pitch in Massimo Loviso, Guidolin likes him no? How about Dario Knezevic…? Ghirardi\Leonardo : We’ll call you back. Spinelli now saying 99% sure Lucarelli will be back

Meanwhile Spinelli is calling Walter Mazzari, Mario Beretta and just got Antoni Conte’s number…


Then they met Udinese. Seeing how they don’t own all of Giovanni Pasquale, and they kind of like him, we should try and trade him for Antonio Candreva no ? Didn’t work out…Pasquale becomes a full on Udinese player for 1.8 M Andrea Migliorini and Candreva on loan for another year.( I kind of understand Udinese not wanting to let Antonio go, even 50% of him)

Ricci also brought back a bunch of Primavera kids from Lega Pro ; Di Bella of Potenza, Dionisi of Celano and Scognamiglio of Crotone…

Who’s coming ? :

Lucarelli…?…!…?…!

Word on the street is that Livorno are interested in Catania castaway ‘Zo Stovini, Ex-Leccese Stendardo and Caserta as well as Bologna’s Belleri for central defense

Grosseto Midfielder Valeri has been mentionned somewhere

28 year old Cristian Raimondi’s contract with Vicenza has ended

Allegretti and Agliardi from Triestina have been mentionned

Someone said something about Roberto Guana for free

I’d irrationnaly’d like to see Fabio Zambrella, Marco Andreolli, Stefano Okaka Chuka, Torino keeper Sereni and David Santon (screw Bonetto)

Who’s going ? :

There’s talks of Spinelli getting decent offers from West Ham and Inter. West Ham is offering good old cash and Inter has put 4M + Nelson Rivas on the table…(How about 50% of Santon inserted somewhere)

Seems as if Nico Pulzetti will be sold. Atalanta, Bologna and Palermo are all interested. Pulzetti is said to be worth anywhere between 2.5-3 M$ and when i mean $ i mean Euros

Fausto Rossini’s contract probably won’t be renewed

Paulinho who ?

Seems like Tommy Danilevicius will be the 4th striker…

I get the feeling Diamanti is staying nonetheless

I wanna see Volpe, Grandoni, Galante, Mazzoni, The twins, Pulzetti and Danilevicius gone

Today’s Line Up :
4-3-2-1 : De Lucia, Perticone,Miglionico,Knezevic,Rizza ; Candreva,Loviso,Bergvold; Diamanti,Tavano; Danilevicius

Acquisti :
Antonio Candreva (Udinese;1 year Loan), Andrea Magliorini (Udinese ;Full ownership(FO) Leo Martin Miglionico (Samp;FO) Romano Perticone (AC Milan : FO) Rizza (Juventus,FO)

Gone:
Riccardo Bonetto (d,Lazio(puked my mouth), End Loan ), Antonio Filippini (c,svincolato), Emanuele Filippini (c,svincolato), Fausto Rossini (a,svincolato), Emanuele Terranova (d,Palermo, EL), Aleandro Rosi (d,Roma, EL)Giovanni Pasquale(Udinese, FO 4M$)

What we’re working on :

    Bonetto was a real gem at LB last year, hopefully you can hold on to him. Dude never stops running, got a little bag of tricks as well. Rosi was really good too, hopefully you can hold on to both of the fullbacks from the promotion campaign.

    What has happened to Pulzetti? I know my club (Palermo) have interest in him going back a year or more, but his price seems to have hit the floor. Did he just not finish the season in the best of form? I watched some early Livorno games and he was integral…

    pls take Guana from us.

    Two questions:

    What can you tell me about this Diamanti fellow?
    and
    When does Livorno get its button back at the top of the page?

    (good job getting back to the Serie A!)

    Jo, I’m sure Marco will have more to add but I’ve seen Diamanti play a bunch over the last 2 years. Wonderful left footed trequartista/support striker. Can score long range goals from anywhere within 40 yards. Can pick out passes and play lovely through balls as well.

    Only problem with him is that he blows hot and cold. Some games he scores a 30 yard free kick and smacks a 25 yard curler into the upper corner, and some games he can’t hold on to the ball to save his life. He has seemed to get over this though in Serie B, but we’ll see how the transition to Serie A goes.

    You’re right about Bonetto Ricci but i don’t know if he’ll cut it in Serie A next year. His speed and stamina is tremendous but his size might be a little too little for Serie Attacks (maybe it’s the fact that he’s from Lazio that i’m biased) I see him as a decent back up at the best.But unless we have a more than decent replacement i hope he stays

    Pulzetti is a strange situtation…I presume\think he got in to some sort of row with Aldo and the management for his non move during last summer. We played hi when we had to but you could see he was slowly being fazed out of the squad. I agree, not to smart if you’re thinking sale value. It’s been a long time before he curled a sweet one versus Milan but he’s got some worth to him

    @JO :

    Diamanti : Ricci pretty much hit it on the nose. Dude is mad talented with both feet, can score and pinpoint crosses anywhere from almost anywhere within the half way line. I still stand by my homeless man’s Antonio Cassano comparison(wild, crazy talent,weird haircut,orecchione…) Diamanti has a better foot from a far but lacks Cassano’s amazing vision. His faults are few but i guess he’s semi injury prone and somewhat inconsistent. A move to a big club would definteley see him make it or break it as a big time player. I think he’d benefit from another year at Livorno where he’ll be adulated and get to play with Tavano and a Big Serie A striker(which he’s never had) like Lucarelli or something

    Offside button at top of the page…bo ?…but if the techs read this : I know about the alphabetical order but can i please NOT BE SO CLOSE to the LAZIO crest !!! It makes me feel so dirty

    I see Rosi as primarily a RB but can play LB and RW.

    @Aquismaia : Check out the other posts for a Rosi review. And you don’t need to be a Roma fan to hate Lazio or Pisa…
