He seems to be one of those players that people dislike without knowing why like Bellamy. When FIFA banned him for 4 odd games for maybe saying rude words to their fave player it hit new heights. He certainly doesnt run from trouble but hes a good guy, does a lot of work with kids in Milano...
He went back to Perugia and broke the record for goals by a defender in a season. 12- quite a good tale. Dont know if we ever got back the missing Materazzi half million.
Materazzi had arrived at Goodison Park from Perugia in 1998 when the then manager Walter Smith convinced his board he was...
I remember when we signed Materazzi, Dacourt and Bakayoko together it seemed like we were spendinng money on more European Arsenal type players but we flogged them all. Dacourt was good too, also ended up at Inter. Shame the only thing coming in the other direction was VDM.
he said he loved it at Goodison and would have like to have returned if he hadnt joined Inter. I remember seeing him play that season and thinking that he was far too good for us. (That was a grim season.)
Just wanted to give some respect to one of my favourite players of a dark period of Everton. 4 reds in under 30 games is a pretty intense haul but he was classy and passionate and has remained that way. After 5 league titles, a champions league and a world cup (conceding a penalty, scoring the...
The morning paper in Milan says that the hunter wants to tie up a loan to Everton by the end of the week to play, get to the WC and prove to Milan that hes up to it next season, no mention of Roma. Not sure if AC really need another midfield player like the beast. Saying that hunters been...
Angola is about as far from South Africa as we in London are from the fighting in central Algeria. I doubt they will worry about security at the Olympics because Algerias unstable.
Yeah the San Siro is owned by the council. One end is red the other is blue so the Milan fans have curva nord (north end) and Inter curva sud as there graffitti. Mainly because the ultras inhabit that end and its where the noise comes from.
I doubt theyll be looking at getting rid of Chivu. Obinna would be useful imo. Saw his debut and he looked really fast and skillful but hed struggle to get into their team. Mancini would be good as well, hes been crapa for Inter but was awesome for Roma.
Obinna would be a good signing on loan I presume. I saw his debut at the San Siro and he had the stadium on its feet with his first touch which was a back heel one two and almost a goal.
I saw him for 3 seasons at Inter and he was phenomenal. We know what Newcastle does for players. If we could get him for a decent price I think he could be awesome. Still I suspect Wenger will take him.
