"Destination Bernabeu" - I guess you're refereeing to CL's final in 2010. Nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Of course. winning a Cl is always nice. but winning it at Santiago Bernabeu? that'd be a special feeling, at least for me.

I they they will be loaned out by January .. I sure would have liked to see them more on the pitch, but I guess they still lack something to make a starting spot on the team.

If Antonini made it, along with Borriello and Pato, then the reason must be in their game .. They have the talent, that we cant question, but it is how they interpret the tactical aspect of the team that they must lack in.

Of course they can't compete with our midfielders for a starting spot. but I still can't understand why they weren't even included in our UEFA list because I'm not sure Carlo knew their real worth when he was selecting his squad for UEFA cup... they had just signed for Milan and IIRC, Carlo and Galliani said some good things about them!

Had they been included in our UEFA list there would have been plenty of chances to examine their level in real circumstances. for example, against Zurich and Heerenveen we were leading the last 20-30 minutes by 3 goals. that means victory were guaranteed in both games. those last minutes could have been the best chance to bring them on and see how capable they actually are.

I hope we loan/sell them in January. I personally don't like to see youngsters' careers being damaged like this. at this age, they need to play regularly more than anything. there's no question about that.


I said I'd expect nothing from them upon their signing...

Exactly like Dario Simic's career that was recently ruined. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) He retired from Croatia NT some times back with exactly a 100 caps and aged slightly over 32. Do you know how much he'd have covered for Nesta right now. But no, we just had to ruin it all, both for him and us. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Just makes me sad to see such a player go. Why?!
