ROME, Aug 10 (Reuters) - Italian striker Christian Vieri has quit Sampdoria just one month after signing for the Serie A club, the team said on Thursday.


The 33-year-old former Italian international transferred to Sampdoria in July from French league side Monaco, where he played just seven times before injury ended his hopes of playing for Italy at the 2006 World Cup.


The Genoa club said in a statement on its website the decision to part ways with Vieri came after a "serene" meeting between the player and Sampdoria's Chief Executive Giuseppe Marotta who agreed "the conditions no longer existed" to continue their relationship.

Vieri started his career with Prato in Italy's third division in 1989 and made his Serie A debut with Torino in 1991.

He had short stints with Atalanta and Juventus before joining Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

He returned to Italy at the start of the 1998-99 season to play for Lazio and a year later moved to Inter Milan for a then world-record $49 million.

Vieri spent six seasons at Inter, scoring 102 goals in 143 appearances, finishing leading scorer in Serie A in 2003 with 24 goals and establishing himself as Italy's best centre forward.





Sign him MILAN

I will seriously reconsider somethings if that happened...

However, he's better than Boriello.

Not now... He used to be one of the best strikers in the world... But now, I would take Boriello over him anyday!

Agreed.

Yet another Inter casualty

seems like he's not good enough for sampdoria.
sampdoria < milan.
if he's not good enough in sampdoria, he's not good enough for milan!
does make sense to me that he comes back to milan.

Ardemagni over Vieri!

we tried this already, didnt work

VIERI!!! :devilsmiley: is the greatest i just think that milan should sell amoroso and put bobo like 4th striker he just needs time and im also worried that time is pasing by and no new striker... :unsure:

FORZA MILAN
FORZ A BOBO
:devil: :devil: :devil: :devil: :devil:

This guys got some major issues doesn't he.

Drops out of Italy and they win the World Cup...

Wins the golden flop award and quits Milan.

You can't forget his Inter days though... He was unstoppable! He reminds me of Mike Tyson. All that made him great was his crazyness. When he lost that, he lost his game too.

No doubt Vieri had one season where he was one of the best strikers in the world and has been strong in through his career.

Recently he's went AWOL.

It wasn't only one season. Only his last season with Inter he was a bit out of form. And after that he went straight downhill! He was great from 99-03.

i still think he will be a great 3rd or 4th striker

I think he will be great in bringing towels to the players

Shows how much of a profesional person he is .. to leave Samp in just 1 month ..

But I bet you that he bagged $$$ in Monaco seeing as it is a tax-free state

I think its clear Vieri's career is over. He could have had a nice sing off season with Sampdoria, and we'd have had fond memories of what was a great striker in his day. Frankly, he just seems like a fool now. Not needed anywhere near Milan (only at Inter)

he just got rejected by juve, and yeah its a great shame to see a striker with his past to get deperate like this.

What the f@ck is so wrong with Boriello??? he's always joked around while he's a decent
24 year old striker that never got a chance


since we missed out on Sobis ... I guess we should sign him??? I'm desperate

haha, very funny.

I'm not making fun of you. You want Ronaldo, I utterly disagree with you but I respect your opinion. Respect me too when I say I don't want him!!!!

don't get the wrong idea, im not trying to disrespect your opinion.
