Sacchi cumming on Berardi. Music to my ears. He rarely speaks highly of players so young.

Conte pls. 4-3-3 with the "Van Persie from Sila" on the right. It has to happen.

That is good news to hear. Sacchi is head of youth development or something these days so if he is giving praise then it is high indeed.

It was he who recommended Montour to Milan
poor Inter thought they had him hahaha

Is there any chance Berardi could get in the Italy WC squad? And who would Italy take anyway?

With Rossi dead and Osvaldo shit, Berardi might have a chance, if he keeps this up. But Serie-A gaf obviously knows better.

Yep with no Rossi and El Shaz for the next set of friendlies and Osvaldo in porm form. I reckon there is every chance Berardi could get a call up for the next set of friendlies and try and cement a place for the WC.

Prandelli believes in picking the players who are in the best form. Since November he has been in great form. Prandelli also took Borini to the Euros so there is no reason why berardi can go to the WC.

He is also clearly a special player. It is very rare for Italians under 21 to score 10 goals in Serie A. I think destro was the first to do it in a couple of decades or something and El Shaz followed it up last season.

The list of forwards who are in contention for the WC seem to be:

Balotelli: Guaranteed.
Florenzi: Should be on the plane(might be picked as a midfielder}
El Shaz: needs to get healthy and play some games.
Rossi: needs to get healthy and play some games.
Gilardino: A favourite of Prandelli and went to the confed cup.
Toni: Depends if Pran wants him and he comes out of retirement.
Totti: Depends if Pran wants him and he comes out of retirement.
Berardi: Stays in good form.
Immobile: He is scoring goals.
Destro: If he keeps scoring goals and stays in form.
Cassano: If he is in form he could be used as a SS.
Gabbiadini: Not done enough this season IMO
Borini: Dead
Giovinco: Dead
Insigne: Should be on the plane.

I think usually it is 5 forwards for the world cup. My bet would Be Balotelli, Gilardino, Insigne, Toni(I reckon he will be picked to add something different and as an option to come off the bench) And either Destro or Berardi. With Florenzi picking picked as a midfielder.

I am sure who is ever picked for our next friendlies are the players Prandelli wants to take.

In 2015-2016, Juan Fernando Quintero played 50 games (2 as a sub) for me and managed 17 goals and 42 assists. In 17 games in 2016-2017, he's at 7 goals and 9 assists. Not quite at the same level, but he's absolutely insane.

Messi and Ronaldo seated next to each other at the Ballon d'Or event later today. Might actually have to watch the damn thing just to see if we get a reaction out of it.
 
It's happening today, isn't it?

Somebody hold me.

First time EVER I'm glad we lost a match. It's long overdue, fuck Allegri and let's hope that Inzaghi will do something good even if I'm not counting on it. But at least we won't lose to fucking Sassuolo and make Berardi look like Ronaldo or something every two weeks.

City midfielder James Milner offered another view. “What Harty said was that, although he wasn’t blocking his view of the ball, he was standing where he was going to dive,” he said. “So Harty couldn’t really make a dive. Harty also said he wasn’t sure if he would have got it anyway.”

Telegraphs write up on the incident and Pardew being a prick.
