Caraciollo huh? Weren't we linked with him. Besides his good looks I don't know if he's got much else.
So I'm kinda relieved to see this deal go through. Wouldn't put it past Galliani to buy the bloke and say "We lost Suazo, but we got a guy who looks a 100 times better. so now we can shut our transfer market"
C'mon R10. Come to Kaka.

ya i hate to admit it but even if we make 2 or 3 strong transfers inter is way ahead of us in the league, and juve i have this feeling about them. i dont think they're going to win but i wont be too surprised if they pull off 2nd place. anyways we'll see...
I don't know about the zebras. They've made some good purchases, but...they'll have some weaknesses. They will, however, be highly motivated. As long as someone (Milan, Juve, Roma, or my personal dark horse, Fiorentina) finishes ahead of the Merda, I'll be happy.

thats true but at the same time one of the main reasons we won was because of the signings during the winter, and i'm not too sure our season would have ended if it wasnt for them. we were playing horribly so ronaldo and oddo were big boosts. yes they prooved a point but "once saved, always saved" doesnt apply here because things can change very quickly. besides changes are a normal part of any team whether they are winning or losing.

Livorno grab Dhorasoo
After agreeing a deal for Francesco Tavano and Fausto Rossini, Livorno have also captured ex-Milan midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo.
President Aldo Spinelli had hinted at the next big signing in an interview with ‘La Repubblica’ newspaper this morning.
“A very strong midfielder of great prestige. There are too many vultures circling, so I can only confirm he is a famous French international.â€
Now the media in Italy claim that man is Dhorasoo, a former Olympique Lyonnais and Milan player.
Although he featured in the 2006 World Cup for losing Finalists France, Dhorasoo was out of contract after he was sensationally sacked by Paris Saint-Germain in September.
The midfielder was booted out of the club for calling Coach Guy Lacombe “a liar†and has also launched vitriolic attacks on French boss Raymond Domenech.
This would be his return to Serie A after an unsuccessful season at Milan, where he made just 12 appearances in 2004-05.
During his time on the sidelines, Dhorasoo was linked with Bolton, Lyon, Parma and had a trial with Fulham.
Livorno have also reportedly signed Juventus youngster Francesco Volpe on a co-ownership deal after the striker returned from a loan spell at Ravenna.
It has been an exhilarating week for the Amaranto, who also picked up Tavano from Valencia and hitman Rossini from Catania.
“For Tavano we worked in silence and the news only leaked out once everything had already been signed, otherwise he would have been snatched away,†added President Spinelli.
“He is the ideal player to replace Igor Protti and partner Cristiano Lucarelli. We have finally found a Number 10 worthy of Protti.â€

You guys remember him
He was pretty impressive for PSG too, but he is probably in his mid 30's .. I used to like him, he was a great sub. Never complained, and when he was on the field, he was always full of energy and a great team player.

Tevez No Longer A Target, Chivu A Possibility – Moratti
Inter president Massimo Moratti has confirmed that the Nerazzurri will not be signing Carlos Tevez this summer.
Moratti is a known admirer of the West Ham striker, but the club’s signing of Cagliari star David Suazo has ended their interest in the Argentinian.
"Tevez is no longer a target, we are fine as we are in attack," Moratti confirmed.
Moratti went on to speak about AS Roma defender Cristian Chivu who the club are battling with Barcelona to sign.
"Is today the day for Chivu? They have been saying for two weeks that it's the day for Chivu, but I won't be meeting Rosella Sensi (Roma general manager) today," Moratti said.
"Talks are still open and Inter are ready to make their best offer. If it goes well we will be happy; if not, we're fine as we are. But Roma have to want to sell him first. No one is going to snatch him away.
"There are various clubs interested in the player, the one who makes the best offer will bring him home. We can all want things, but there are always economic limits.
"I will speak to Dr Sensi on the phone, and then we will see, but there's still a month and a half of the transfer market to go, and the Chivu matter is not tremendously urgent for us."

Tevez 'turns down' Inter
28 Jun 2007
West Ham United striker Carlos Tevez appears to be leaning towards staying in the Premier League after declining to meet Internazionale's deadline.
Tevez is weighing up his club future and has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool, Inter and Real Madrid.
Inter had expressed an interest in signing the Argentine, but president Massimo Moratti revealed earlier on Thursday that Tevez was 'no longer an objective'.
According to the forward's representative Kia Joorabchian, Inter had set a deadline for the player to make a decision on a move to the Serie A champions.
Joorabchian admits Tevez was not willing to meet that demand, particularly as he seems keen to stay in English football.
"Inter put a deadline on the decision and Carlos' heart is really in the Premier League, so he was not prepared to meet that cut-off point," said Joorabchian in a statement.
Tevez, who has yet to rule out staying at West Ham next season, is currently in Venezuela on Copa America duty with the Argentine national team.
Joorabchian also dismissed suggestions that Tevez has been offered a £100,000-a-week contract to stay at Upton Park.
He added: "He has not been offered that sum of money to stay, but it is true we are still talking and hope to come to some arrangement."

Fiorentina could be making another important signing in the next few hours as Wesley Sneijder is set to join the Tuscan side according to the latest transfer speculation.
The highly technical midfielder, who had asked for a transfer in the past weeks, was on the short list of the Viola for a long time, and finally Fiorentina have decided to go for him and try to sign him up.
Ajax are asking for 12 million Euros for the player, whose contract expires in two years' time.
The player was on the verge of signing for Valencia, but these latest transfer speculations seem to indicate that the player is set for a Fiorentina move.
This could be an excellent move by the Della Valle club as he would further reinforce Cesare Prandelli's midfield line, the coach having made no secret of the fact that the Viola are targeting a Champions League spot this season.

Chivu opens Inter door
Friday 6 July, 2007 ::: channel4.com
Roma defender Cristian Chivu’s future is still in the balance after his agent revealed he is considering Inter.
Despite approaches from the Beneamata and Barcelona, the Romanian stopper appeared to have chosen to move to the Bernabeu when the Giallorossi agreed a £13m deal with the Spanish champions.
However, contract negotiations with Real fell through and the ex-Ajax star is considering his options once more with Inter back in the frame.
“We spoke to Roma director of sport Daniele Prade’ and now the Giallorossi know that Cristian doesn’t intend to join Barcelona or Real Madrid,†agent Giovanni Becali stated.
Chivu is now believed to be weighing up whether he should join the Nerazzurri or stay put until his contract expires in June 2008. Then he can leave on a Bosman, allowing him to demand a higher signing on fee.
The 26-year-old’s wage request has taken Real by surprise and President Ramon Calderon is pondering his next move.
“We’re having to give the Chivu transfer serious thought because the demands are much higher than we had expected,†he admitted.

Roma defender Cristian Chivu’s future is still in the balance after his agent revealed he is considering Inter.
Despite approaches from the Beneamata and Barcelona, the Romanian stopper appeared to have chosen to move to the Bernabeu when the Giallorossi agreed a £13m deal with the Spanish champions.
However, contract negotiations with Real fell through and the ex-Ajax star is considering his options once more with Inter back in the frame.
“We spoke to Roma director of sport Daniele Prade’ and now the Giallorossi know that Cristian doesn’t intend to join Barcelona or Real Madrid,†agent Giovanni Becali stated.
Chivu is now believed to be weighing up whether he should join the Nerazzurri or stay put until his contract expires in June 2008. Then he can leave on a Bosman, allowing him to demand a higher signing on fee.

What a pig Moratti is. Nobody pays directly some millions to the agent, just the fee he gets from the transfer BUT NO, Moratti PAID him some millions to convince Chivu Inter is a better option than Barcelona or Madrid.
There are reports out that the Zebras have reached agreement with Deportivo for the transfer of Portuguese centerback Jorge Andrade. The deal's said to be in the 10m or so range. Andrade is quite good.
A good defender .. He would do well in Juve.
