Cassano [MERGED]

Well it is one of the two most serious papers in Italy, probably, but to say it is 100% reliable when it comes to football transfers would be exaggerating it. Surely I rate it as more reliable than the "sports only" papers, which have to blow any rumour out of proportion to sell.

Worth a gamble.

A fiery temper could be a good thing too...

just speaking to my mate in italy and he is telling me cassano left training early today after a bust up with his coach but officially they are saying it is a muscle injury.
but.....also inter are very interested in him as mourinho rates him highly.

Sampdoria director Giuseppe Marotta has warned it will be difficult to hold onto Antonio Cassano as Manchester City's interest increases.

Marotta says the club's intention is to hold on to Cassano, but a cocktail of problems at Bogliasco could lead to an eventual sale.

'Il Talentino' has endured a tough week after being dropped by coach Luigi Del Neri. That was followed up by a muscular injury.

Reports in Italy claim Cassano is ready for an exit as City continue to track him.

Meanwhile, Sampdoria have done little to suggest they are desperate to keep the Bari product on, leading to further speculation.

"Cassano is an excellent player and a professional. Out intention is to keep him for the moment," Marotta told Sportal.it.

Last week's exclusion against Udinese led to belief that Cassano's loyalty with Del Neri has become strained. But Marotta's opinion of their situation is clear. "Cassano and Del Neri's relationship is excellent," he said.

Cassano is absolute fookin nutcase. Loonie of highest order. Stay well clear.

Craig Bellamy + golf club = quiet Cassano

[AlpsMaster]

I reckon this is likely to go through as he's injured now and we all now how we like to sign injured players!
