Livorno Leftovers Sauté à la Transfer Talk, with just a hint of Bitterness

By: Marco | June 3rd, 2008

Not all has been said about the season, but we pretty much all get the picture. Livorno were condemned to Serie B from the get go. From the ; Ciao Lucarelli and Morrone to the Hello Diego Tristan,Vikash Dhorasoo and Francesco Tavano. Unfortunately, Spinelli’s all around stubbornness and many offield antics (Promising to bring Lucarelli back, Wanting to weigh each player personally, Poutin and wanting to sell the club, his phone conversations with Luciano Moggi and his stupid penny pinching transfer window), Fernando Orsi ‘s awful start and end of the season mixed in with Livorno’s inability at scoring goals and you have yourself a recipe for Serie B. All I have to say is that La Nazionale needs to start loaning each and every potential goalkeeping star to Livorno. Just like Marco Amelia, your promised to see the youngster get peppered with shots week in and week out. (I’m so looking at you Gianluca Curci) Livorno need to end the; - Will Aldo leave - saga as soon as possible. Preferably by pressuring Aldo to sell the Club already!


I’ll give Aldo some credit for managing to get Livorno a decent amount of Media Exposure over the years, but the man has got to go. He’s clearly given up on his Livorno project (especially after reading those Luciano Moggi Phone call transcripts of his) This President managed to bring Livorno from Serie B to the UEFA Cup, but Livorno have now regressed back to their starting point. That’s just one of the reasons Aldo needs to go. I’ll give him the fact that he always manages to snatch up a good bargain or to unearth a Serie A worthy player from some buttfuck Paese: Bergvold, Pulzetti, Knezevic, M. Amelia, Palladino and Alè Diamanti. Unfortunately, It’s that time, changing of the guard time. His decision making capabilities have digressed throughout the years; His coaching choices (Firing,hiring,timing) were 80% awful and the fact that he never managed to organize the Youth Sides with enough flair to see 1 Primavera player make it to the Senior Squad. It’s time for some new blood, all around the organisation.

Tranfer Rumours:

Diego Tristan has moved to Cyprus, I’m told the hills are beautiful

Marco Amelia’s till drawing interest from Palermo, Athletico and the UK

Alè Diamanti, by far this year’s standout player, has been drawing some interest from all over the peninsula. Sampdoria,Genoa,Napoli,Lazio and Inter are all keen on the left footed Homeless man’s Antonio Cassano. I get the feeling Diamanti has no intention of going down to Serie B. The 25 year old player from Prato has declared today that ‘’ Napoli would be the realisation of a dream!’’

Ciao Alè ! T’was nice knowing you

Diamanti’s not the only Livorno player Napoli have their eye on ; Giovanni Pasquale, who almost went to Napoli during the Winter Window, has all but secured his place in Napoli. Reports suggest that Napoli will pay Livorno around 1.6-1.9 M Euro for the ex-Interista + a 1 year Loan of Erminio Rullo. Nico Pulzetti’s the other player flirting with the San Paolo public. Reports are saying the fling is mutual.

Giancarlo Camolese what do you think about this ?

Pulzetti e Pasquale sono giocatori da Napoli!

Alright, So how are things going for you ?

I just signed a contract with Rapid Bucharest !

What !? You’re replacing Walter Zenga as the Italian of service in Romania?

At 800,000 k a season plus another 300k if we make the Champions I’m moving to Romania !

Ciao Giancarlo !

Finally, Francesco Tavano is moving out. The Tavster sucked it hard all year despite his 10 goals. It seems like Fiorentina are ‘’extremely’’ keen on the striker and have seemingly included Arturo Lupoli as a bargaining chip. Livorno are thrilled by the idea but contrary to Fiorentina’s wishes; They’re looking at a Co-ownership deal and La Viola only want to loan out the youngster. Let’s see how this transpires…


Forza Ragazzi !

    Irony is the fact that Lucarelli is going to Serie B, only not with Livorno.
