Full Version: Cassano
I hope the door hit him in the *** on the way out.

I don't. He can rot there for all I care.
Sarcasm my friend
In Cassano's defense, I don't think he seriously expected the entire team to be sold. I wouldn't stay at Milan in this situation.
ur WELCOME cassano 
QUOTE (han2503 @ Aug 22 2012, 05:07 PM)
My heart is aflutter with excitment at seeing that pic...
You will be even more aroused when Ze Eduard will be holding our shirt.
But Cassano is still a piece of ****.
This guy's funny. 
But can't fault him and his preference to rub his round bottom in a lot of different clubs throughout his career. A true journeyman, like Christian Vieri. I wasn't ecstatic when he arrived, I sure as heaven and hell not sad he left. Thanks for the memories, Cassano, even though they were so great.
And well, his recent interview was expected.
Not a word of praise for AC Milan, huh, Cassano?

Ah, an honest mistake. 
I had to run out to answer the phone, just typed it very quick. Weren't it is.

The trouble is, he was great, especially under these circumstances we have lately.
Yeah, well I like to call it 'Faulty Greatness'. What good is talent when it is wasted wandering around.

I wish we had the likes of Maldini & Nesta to deal with this ungrateful pr!ck when the derby comes around.
But truth be told, with our current defensive situation, I see nothing but a very sour taste being left in our mouth!

True.
As they say most of the world is made of gray areas. Cassano, sadly was more grayer than others. But it's better calling things how one sees them, and well there's nothing wrong in having faults and greatness. It just makes a person more human. Through all of this, I do wish we never signed the guy, at all.I'd have much more readily appreciated Cassano's talents, with him wearing new shirts every year or so. Pain free.

Truer.
Let's just hope for two off-days for him in this season's derbies. Or derby, you never know Cassano may move after six months or fall out-of-favor with Inter management/coach. But nevertheless, we needed at least a Silva to maintain some sanity in defense. Maldini & Nesta would have been bliss.But when guys like Borriello score against Milan (and celebrate in the face), then well, anything can happen.
Give it a week and he'll want to go to Juve.
You know what, that isn't outside the realm of possibility. 
Juventus and Napoli, seeing as the guy is only 30.

No. I hope he rots at Inter, the good-old choker Inter that appeared last season.
I hope we sign De Jong, if you get what I mean...

Yep.
Last season he didn't play an awful lot for Citeh and when he played they had a much higher loss ratio than when he didn't play. Don't think it's a coincidence.
Nigel de Jong is good in both winning and losing the ball.
Last match he played in front of the defense (Van Gaal put both Sneijder and Van der Vaart in front of him), and one goal was because De Jong lost the ball (couldn't first touch an easy pass to him well). And then I thought ''again he f's up in national team???''...
Our midfield is that weak, that he would strength it, but we shouldn't spend too much on him if anything.

Thanks for the help Cassano. Off you go.

Cassano: 'Milan were wrong, not me'
Antonio Cassano launched an attack on Milan and Adriano Galliani after his transfer to Inter. “This time I’m not the one who got it wrong. I wasn't ungrateful.”
The fiery striker has moved around Roma, Real Madrid and Sampdoria with controversial spells and temper tantrums, but surprised many with his switch across San Siro this week.
“The important thing for me was for everyone to agree with the move. I want to thank the President, but also Marco Branca and Piero Ausilio,” said Cassano in today’s Press conference. “I publicly thank them because they had faith in Antonio the man.
“Massimo Moratti told me many things, but I won’t reveal them. He wanted me here back from the days of Roberto Mancini. However, as I was completely crazy at the time, it was right not to sign me.
“There was steam coming out of my ears, but now I am relaxed and calm, so it’s a good decision to bring me to Inter. I am happy to be here.”
Cassano has so far refused to reveal why he put in a transfer request at Milan, but hinted it was Galliani and President Silvio Berlusconi.
“When I joined Milan I said that if I got it wrong there then I ought to be locked up. Well, this time I’m not the one who got it wrong. I had to leave. There was someone above the Coach who did something wrong and I can’t stand it when people take me for a ride.
“When I was ill, my teammates were very close to me, but this person promised so much. It was all smoke and no fire.
“This time I want to deal with men who let me know when things are right or wrong. I want to be told face to face what the real situation is. Elsewhere they say some things and do others instead.
“The promises that Milan made? Ask this other person, who is so good at turning the situation around. He gets on only with those who suck up to him, but that’s not my style.”
FantAntonio had expressed his dismay over the summer at the idea Thiago Silva could be sold, so was distraught when both the defender and Zlatan Ibrahimovic moved to PSG simultaneously.
“I counted for very little at Milan. I thank the people there who helped me out and even saved my life, while Mauro Tassotti was very close to me. You cannot say I was ungrateful. It was important for me to come to Inter because they are a team who want to win.
“I had a good offer from Qatar, which I would like, but I’d love to be at the World Cup with Italy and that means playing in a real League. I’ve always supported Inter and everyone wanted me here, while I really wanted to work with Yuto Nagatomo. Will I debut tomorrow against Pescara? The Coach will see.”

Regardless of how credible his story is ... Piece of **** does not have any morals in him at all.
Naah, either he tells the whole story or he shuts his mouth. This can only be interpreted as him and Inter trying to play games with Milan.
So his problem was with Galliani. What was the problem, though?

Why should we believe his word though? I must say, the interview I've read above...does not give any concrete material. The story sounds unconvincing to me.
I counted for very little at Milan = Milan did not want to raise his payroll to the level he wanted.

Well, you aren't much of a man, Antonio, but thanks for reminding us.

As unprofessionally and ungratefully as he may have handled the situation.
I am inclined to believe some of what he says.

This sounds to me like he was either promised a new deal or that he was told we wouldn't be selling more stars/trying to remain competitive and then Silva and Ibra being sold was a broken promise.

Yes, something along those lines.

Galliani promised not to buy a replacement for him while he recovered. Unless he's counting bringing Maxi Lopez in for that short time as buying a replacement, than Cassano is still crazy. What a *****.

Yep, even though Cassano specifically stated it's not Allegri.
Why would any sane person blame Allegri on this, when it's clear he's referring to Galliani. 
Fester sure is turning into 'Public Enemy Number 1', first Paolo, then Allegeri episodes and now this. The guy is probably finding it hard to manage the club and Berlusconi.
Can't say I feel sorry for him after the crazy and stupid contracts he handed out after 2007. Reason for our mess!

Aye. 
I can understanding rooting for the one who's under fire, but not in this case. If anything, Allegri apparently took a stance in vetoing the transfer of Ze Eduardo, so that's +1 for him in my book.

More Cassano comedy. Declarations from Italian magazine 'Chi' of 20 May:
"When I was in the hospital, Galliani called me every day. It was him who told me what happened. He really acted like a father"
"I'm really sorry about those who might leave this team, because when you leave a club like this, then you start realizing the mistake. Here at Milan, from the cook to the president, they all treat you like a king. It's like a fairytale. Who would leave this team?"
"My contract expires in 2014. Firstly I want to start playing again, then in 2014 we'll see about renewing, even though I want to stay here as long as possible. I want everyone to remember me here at Milan like a champion, not like a clown"

Biggest facepalm in history? I think so.

More then just a facepalm. It's illogical and I really can't believe it. What could Galliani have done to him? Or is he really insane?
