Supermercato ; In’s and Out’s

By: Marco Stucazzo | January 17th, 2008

Livorno management have said that the Winter Window would be for ‘’tweaking’’ only.
But the win in Turin cost 2 bodies in midfield. Martin Bergvold will be out at least until March and Giannichedda has a wicked contusion on his knee and will miss 2 months as well. Livorno need to spend a decent amount of money on a decent midfielder. The way things are going; Aldo Spinelli should try to enquire about renting that Tiago guy from Juve.

The only addition so far is Sidny and no subtractions have been made yet. I know that Livorno have been looking around in Serie B for some help at unloading and buying. I know next to nothing about Serie B rosters and players a part from the obvious few. Many of these names don’t ring a bell, so if anybody has an idea or more knowledge, you’re more than welcome to share it.

Here’s an extremely minimal, as in non thorough, as in lazy, assessment of who’s here, who’s going where?

Outgoing:

Marco Amelia
Interested : (Palermo, Napoli, ~~Barcelona~~,Valencia, Lazio)

Highly unlikely, make that 100% unlikely, he leaves in January. Spinelli has set the price tag to 8M$ Euros and has claimed that he isn’t intentionned on selling him yet. His destination of the week is Lazio but I hate them so much it wasn’t worthy of a post.

Dario Knezevic (Milan, Genoa, Juventus)

Not quite sure what his value is right now. He’s been progressing every game this season and is a regular on the Croatian squad, even if he doesn’t start that many games
He won’t move before the summer that’s sure

Erjon Bogdani (Chievo)

Unlikely he’s going anywhere.

Others:

Masimmo Loviso (Lecce, Bari, Chievo, Modena),
Francesco Volpe (Modena, Ravenna),
Fausto Rossini (Grosseto)

Incoming :

Marc Pfertzel(Bochum) :

The ex-Livorno member is plying his trade in the Bundesliga in Bochum right now. The Gazzetta is saying a return is more than probable for the Frenchman.

Francesco Coco (nowhere)

I’m not even commenting this one…

Alè Parisi (Messina)

The Roberto Carlos of lo stretto, (HA ha!) He always draws some interest but never gets moved.

Others :
Adrian Pit (Roma), Curci (Roma),Paolo Acerbis , Gianluca Pagliuca
Ahmed Barusso (Roma), Giovanni Marchese (Chievo) , Dario Baccin,Angelo Antonazzo (Modena)

There are no Bonafide stars or even proven Serie A champions in the list, i mean even Francesco Coco’s there? Livoreno need at least one solid midfielder…

Feel free to add any others you’ve heard of…
