Napoli also interested in Cassano. I think he'll leave Milan by the end of this summer.

QUOTE (KillerMax @ Jun 1 2011, 03:32 AM) The tricky thing is that we have Pato and Ibra, two sure starters. Otherwise, if fit, Cassano could become a regular starter for Milan in no time. Pato is not a sure starter. He has been benched before to play Robinho instead. Next season won't be easy for Pato to bench Robinho either. So Cassano as three forwards in front of him actually. But even then, Cassano won't be a regular starter, but he had and will get regular playing time. That should be enough?

I think Prandelli is talking out of his @ss. What other top class strikers do Italy have at this point? Gilardino? Matri? Di Natale?
Cassano is the only really tp class attacker Italy have at this point, these are not te days when we have Totti, DP, Pippo, etc all in their prime. Di Natale never did pull it off for the Azzurri imo, while Cassano does. He's a sure pick imo if Italy want to go anywhere. Me thinks Prandelli is trying to get Antonio to go to Florence by telling him that if he doesn't play regularly, he won't get called up.
Anyways, playing time is not much an issue imo. Ibra will get his fare share of suspensions, Pato will get injured, Pippo is not considered a starter either. It's between him and Robinho, and if Robs keeps shooting blanks again next season then Cassano will jump ahead of him in the pecking order

I don't think Cassano will have any problem being a starter once his fitness picks up. We are really going to be playing a lot of games this season, and I think Allegri is smart with his rotation.
4 goals and 8 assists in 2 months is no joke.
The big thing here is the Cassano must get fit! Lose all that excess weight etc.

Pato is a sure starter if he's fit. Which isn't a constant state.

QUOTE (X-Offender @ Jun 1 2011, 02:29 PM) It all depends on his will to play Euro 2012 as a protagonist. Han may be right though, perhaps Prandelli's declarations were just a stunt to push him to Florence. I wouldn't mind if he leaves, as long as we cash-in €15 million. You know it baby!! (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) But seriously here! Italy is probably at this point is at it's poorest state in terms of talent. Casting Cassano aside would be ridiculous. He along with Pirlo and that nut case Balotelli are the only really raw talented players on that team. And looking at the current crop of strikers compared to the riches of the past, one has to be an idiot to leave Cassano behind no matter how much he's played. I'm sure Cassano knows this. He got left behind in the past even when he had good seasons, just because of his tag as a bad seed in the dressing room. Who are the strikers called up for the Azzurri atm? Whoever they are Cassano is the best one no matter which way you look at it.
