Are we really 2nd best in Serie A ?

By: Neil | Comments 10 Comments

In a word, no. But I’d like to remind Serie A fans of an English soccer saying, “The table never lies.” Only Lazio has started better than us, and we’ve played quality teams like Roma, Fiorentina, Udinese, and Palermo in the first five games. Yet Jose Mourinho admitted that he is not [...]

l’ultimi colpi

Ah….leaving it late. Today is the day Pier Paolo Marino finishes all family business. Let’s just hope Moe Green doesn’t catch one in the eye. The transfer market closes on September 1 and Marino can’t celebrate yesterday’s draw in Rome as unfinished business is at the top of his things to do list:

Is this the thanks we get?

Before a not-near packed San Paolo (21,356 tifosi), Napoli completely tore apart Albanian champions FC Vllaznia 5-0. The match was hardly in doubt from the onset as Napoli took a 3-0 lead into the tie after playing well in Albania two weeks ago. However, once Napoli got themselves established and found their pace, they essentially [...]

It’s almost the end of the calciomercato season and things are still very much in flux for the Azzurri. With the transfer market set to close on Monday, Napoli Direttore Generale, Pier Paolo Marino has little time left to tie up some loose ends.

‘A Serenata ‘E Pulecinella news

By: Joe | Comments 20 Comments

Uruguayan striker Marcelo Zalayeta is set to make his return to Napoli in next week’s Birra Moretti. The preseason tournament, held at the San Paolo and this year featuring Juventus and AC Milan, will mark El Panteron’s first live action since he suffered a knee injury on March 9. My take: Zalayeta can be [...]

Ti amo, Marino!

Seemingly from out of nowhere, Napoli Direttore Generale Pier Paolo Marino signed Andrea Russotto, another young starlet, to add to Napoli’s collection of young jewels. It’s difficult to argue with the results Marino gets when he goes into the market to acquire players. Anyone who can pick up Fabiano Santacroce, Daniele Mannini, Nicolas Navarro in [...]

Napoli Summer Transfer Tidbits

By: fortunato | Comments 5 Comments

What a blow for the national team losing my hero Fabio Cannavaro after a nasty collision with Juventus’ Giorgio Chiellini during the Azzurri’s first training session earlier today. Cannavaro’s ankle injury will keep him out of the entire Euro 2008 tournament. I am shattered and rattled but not broken and still think the team has [...]

Napoli Summer Transfer Tidbits

By: fortunato | Comments 7 Comments

As we gear up for the Euro Cup 2008, I can’t help but pass along some summer transfer market rumours as they pertain to our boys:
First of all I am jealous that Fiorentina went out and inked Alberto Gilardino and that Marco Borriello appears to have been bought back completely by Milan to replace Gila [...]

All and all a quiet week, eh?

By: Joe | Comments 8 Comments

With so much going around concerning the club it’s difficult to determine where to start and what news to include. It has been an eventful and emotional week for the squadra partenopei. Here’s a recap:
*  For the second time this season, Napoli lost to Cagliari. A Cagliari side that hadn’t scored two goals in a [...]

Help on the way?

By: Joe | Comments 2 Comments

It appears Pier Paolo Marino is thisclose to signing left-winger Francesco Modesto from Reggina. Marino has been burning up the phone lines in an attempt to strengthen our side for a second half push (or at least to avoid a second half collapse which I fear is well within possibility). Marino has been in Milan [...]
