Napoli Summer Transfer Tidbits

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

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?

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?

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 [...]

Direttore Generale Pier Paolo Marino deserves a tremendous amount of credit. He came to Napoli after working briefly for neighboring Avellino. Marino was part of 1986/87 scudetto winning side before leaving to take over Pescara and make way for Luciano Moggi. Yes, that Moggi. <insert throw up in mouth effect here>
Marino really cut his teeth, [...]
De Laurentis’ promise

During the Trofea Birra Moretti friendly on August 8, Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentis responded to the increase fan frustration over the dearth of acquisitions by claiming the squad would add three reinforcements during the remaining calciomercato. The rumours of potential signings included Lyon’s Brazilian magician Fred, under-achieving extraordinaire Alvaro Recoba, Argentinean legend Juan Roman [...]

It seems there a strange pull somewhere in the universe. I post an entry where I convince myself something is going to happen like Napoli signing Nocerino and within hours of posting the entry the exact opposite happens (Nocerino was scooped by Fiorentina only to have Juve pull the rug out from under La Viola the [...]
All in all it’s just another kick in the balls

Still no movement on the acquisition front and the rumours are quickly becoming irksome at this point. Direttore Generale Pier Paulo Marino has chosen to take a very low profile and not discuss player transfers. Given the recent track record, I have to applaud the decision to keep out of the media. As long as [...]

Things are falling apart in Napoli’s once promising calciomercato. What once appeared certain has now become a source of anger and frustration. First came the news that Rolando Bianchi went to Manchester City for 13 million euros, then the debacle that was Antonio Nocerino (who is now staying at Juve…not bloody likely) and now comes [...]
A new Napoletano?
By: Joe | 2 Comments
There’s a good deal of smoke and talk about Napoli picking up Juventus and Azzurrini midfielder Antonio Nocerino. Nocerino and Juventus will meet this evening. Talk is Nocerino will ask Juve to allow him to come to his hometown Napoli (born in San Lucia). De Laurentis seems confident he’ll get his man. The Napoli President [...]
