In other news, Pulvirenti (Catania prez) owns:

Catania was supposedly about to sign Gino Peruzzi from Velez, until Pulvirenti literally said:

"When they interviewed me and I spoke of him I was too drunk. You reckon he'd want to play in Catania when he was wanted by Manchester United? I wasn't of sound mind."

However, Gomez (Alejandro, not Mario :P) is really going to Metalist.

He must have been really drunk to have mistaken a team of Man Utd rejects to be Man Utd

A poo poo yeah, Santon is for sure. Bocchetti's been called up a few times but no way would he make the team now.

I don't want him to leave at all, but he'd be perfect for an Italian club playing with wingbacks. I'd like to see him play as a winger for Newcastle but I doubt it'll happen. He should be getting called up for Italy anyway since he can play on either side

Ah man, no early games tomorrow, that's lame.

Pogba is quickly becoming one of Juve's best overall players. It's going to be hard to take him out of the starting lineup when Marchisio comes back.

Man utd losing him because they brought Scholes out of retirement will never not be funny

No idea. I really hope it is though.

tbp I have no idea how he got that Milan team either. Its incredible. Baresi has said he's looking forward to playing in England for the first time and especially against Shearer. Maybe its just because of who Harper was able to get for the Newcastle team?

I can't say Im on board with this rule, though I guess it is a form of discrimination and it makes no sense to try these things on a case by case basis. I wonder if this is a rule in other leagues, like if a bunch of people starting chanting at a Liverpool match that scousers were a bunch of thieves or whatever the stereotype is, would that be enough to close the stadium?

They just stick to tasteful stuff like the Munich disaster or Heysel in England rather than discrimination :shepface:

It's peanuts, Juve will pay it just to get it off their hands. I feel sorta bad for Mutu because he is a good player under there but he's such a maniac and this loving court case has dragged on for so long that you kind of have to assume that it's partially his fault. With his salary he should've been abled to hire a good lawyer or otherwise pay this poo poo off.

£13m would have been most of the money he made in his career most likely. Juve should always have been the people to pay the fine, or not. Chelsea didn't even have to sack him.
