Taiwo also today said that he will leave Marseille for sure this summer (on a free contract) and he is already talking to a big club. Good full back, will be free, however he is Non-EU. Only way I can see him coming is if Italy opens the Non-EU quota to two again.

Rumors are that the Ganso deal is hitting complications with the club seeking more money from Milan. I think it's all rumors and I think we have a good chance of signing him - especially because Galliani has described him as a new Zidane and that would be insane for Galliani to do because that'll increase his price a few million.

A lot of people say we don't need a sub for Antonini, so when this Taiwo name appears, I just send back the sentence: we don't need a sub for Antonini !!

It's either we find a world class LB or we keep Antonini and buy a squad player ... I mean, if we use a non-EU spot to buy a player who almost at the same level as Antonini is, it's a waste of money and a bad strategy.

At the end of the season, anyway, we'll need to decide if Antonini and/or Abate can be kept as starters (I'd tend to say yes for Abate so far), and as a consequence, target the appropriate players: if it was my choice, I'd go for a world class LB and an experienced RB (30yo or so) able to replace Abate if needed.

Just a question: how is it possible we're not able to build our own stadium ? Well, my question should be: how is it possible we don't even consider building our own stadium when a club like Lille in France does it (2012 = new stadium, 40000 places if I'm not wrong and very modern, they took the model of the best Germany stadium, I think it's the one of Schalke 04 ?) ... It's probably not a question of money, Lille isn't a richer club than us.
