Llorente seems doable, both in terms of transfer money and salary, if he agrees to get a haircut at Borriello's beauty salon as soon as he lands in Torino.
So it's probably gonna be Pazzini.
Is this really that big of a fucking deal for players? Fine, it's not Paris, it's still a big city and you've got tons of money.

There is literally no point in buying Pazzini. He had his chance, and he's not even an upgrade over Matri judging by his form post-Sampdoria.
It's making me question my sexuality. Disgusting creature.

Shame to see him go. I imagine he'll dominate at Cardiff though so good luck to him.
I'd think it was a big deal if I was a player.

Llorente and Pazzini. We keep Matri. Sorry Lucifer.
Edit: Pazzini isn't an upgrade on Matri, Shake. But the point is that he's an upgrade on Quagliarella who has been pretty awful post injury.
I feel sick.
Glazers ringing the bell.
Absolute insult

Josh Homme on the right?!
Or prior to Sampdoria, really. They couldn't wait to get rid of him in Firenze.
I'm pretty sure fadetoblack has somehow managed to brainwash Marotta.

Fake grass and goalposts set up around the NYSE for the float launch.
These guys about to get paiddddd.

Happy for Bonucci, Pepe and Di Vaio too!
Bologna is my second team
Difficult to say right now, Llorente or Pazzini maybe.
Not really IMO, he played 17 matches with 11 goals in 6 months when he was playing with a good Inter, last year was terrible for every Inter player. IMO he's a little better than Matri but not by much.
What?

No problem. 16m was a bit too much for us.
We'll get Borriello and pay him 4m per year, right?

I don't hate United. You only hate something you fear.

What I meant is he talked often about being a Juventino, had his chance to join Juventus, and yet eventually ended up at their most hated rivals. He's tainted for me.
You're trying too hard.
Pazzini's downfall was one of the highlights of last season. I don't want his misery to ever end.
We're one striker away from having one of our best transfer markets ever! But I don't get it, we had no problem overpaying for midfielders and defenders, but when it comes to strikers, he's penny pinching.
I rate Dzeko higher than Llorente as well. And with Milan out of the way, we're his only destination in Italy. Mancini still thinks he's one striker short of winning the title though. ://

Welp, it's not tanking. Price holding firm and millions of shares traded already.

I keep telling myself that he had one hand on the purse strings until Bonucci/Pepe were acquitted, and now that he doesn't have to worry about bringing in, e.g., Bocchetti he can up any offers he has out there.

Yep over half the shares are traded now and the price is dead steady. Pretty weird...
What do you guys think of Giuseppe Rossi? I still think that we should buy him for the cheap now and waiting for him to return after the injury.
Oh, sorry, you are right about that, what a terrible choice it was for him.
But but but what about Lucio?
lolololol

I don't think Pazzini will be our #1 by any stretch, but he'll be brought in to compete directly with Matri which is something Quagliarella cannot do anymore. And, look, yeah he isn't an amazing striker but alongside a creative player like Giovinco he'll flourish like he did at Samp where he was the focus of the attack with Cassano. He played at Inter for long stretches of the time without anyone creative next to him. He really rose and fall with Sneijder, whose fate was also linked closely with whatever coach they had.
His goals for Sampdoria show that he's capable of finishing.
He's good enough for Coppa, sub appearances, and some starts. He'll probably get 25 games total and will bag ~8 goals across competitions. That's perfectly acceptable as we need reliability coming off the bench and in our rotation.
Again, he is an improvement on Quagliarella who he will almost certainly be replacing.

It was after the chip that was stuck in there.

My biggest pet hate about football, certainly the past 10 years, has been the increasing trend for 'affiliated' pundits and biased media outlets. If you're going to do that you better make sure you have 1 gobshite from each team to counter balance the other gobshite's terrible opinion and worn out clichés about teams they don't have a clue about.
