A little off-topic, but as a Juventini, i hope Secco goes for a player of yours: Christian Maggio. I’m really impressed with him, even though he’s been injured for a while. One of the best right backs around right now, and probably the second best in Serie A only after Maicon. Plus a RB is what we need badly, and i could see you guys selling him for 12-15 million.

Thanks Gianfranco. Aren’t all owners a bit power crazy?

Neil, this post was excellent well thought out and above all rational. Your opinion on your owner and the will he has on the club is a perfect parallel to Silvio at Milan. We argue day in and day out on the value or in my opinion lack thereof in Ronaldinho, but at the end of the day Silvio wanted him and got him, like a kid crying for a new toy. This was a failure of epic proportion and if owners start listening to coaches, especially in your case, your team should improve under Donadoni. The Don has really had the short end of the stick from the Azzuri drop to the Napoli start, but the team has made strides and beating Inter proved that he can hang, but it will take time and above all for any coach it will take the support of ownership, not just vocally but with the wallet as well…

tevez is a quality player and an absolute workhorse but no way is he worth 30m. hes not tall enough either for a target man. acquafresca would have been absolutely spot on, hes on track to be being the future of the italian national team, although there is a chance he could leave genoa as he doesnt want to sit on the bench

LOL That’s a good one. Tevez at Napoli,

I also see pigs flying outside my window.

apparently napul is keeping tabs on quagliarella and borriello. either of them would be amazing

i think the main reason why some players wouldnt want to come to naples is the crime and the problem they had with rubbish.

a couple of weeks ago wasnt ibrahimovic being booed? even though hes pretty much won inter the scudetto the last 2 seasons? now that is crazy. booing a player thats won you leagues. will it stop players going to inter?

all football fans turn on their teams at some point and rightly so, especially when they have played like shit for half a season. when paolo just backed off bianchi i think that was the final straw. when your hometown captain does that in your home stadium then he deserves critiscism. not as much as he did but he should be setting an example.

rinaudo, pazienza, maggio, russotto, santacroce, mannini, blasi, aronica are all italian and all joined napoli. its not that italians wont join its marino prefers south americans. then you have d’agostino saying it would be an honour playing for napoli.

as for cigarini im sure he could make just as much playing elsewhere, but like he has said in his interviews, the first time he felt like a proper football is when he played napoli at the san paolo. yes the fans might of jeered paolo but with fans as passionate as napolis the positives far outweigh the negative.
