RUMOUR - Mirco Antenucci

[Tommio]

Offered him a contract, let's wait and see.

As reported in Italian media, several clubs are after him. Apparently Cesena or Reading the likely destinations.

I'd be quite happy with this signing, unlikely koura would choose us if there's any truth in the French article.

31 years old. 107 goals over the last 14 seasons playing mainly in serie B,
No thanks...

Have you seen him play? I think he'd prove a very worthy foil alongside Rakels.

We have just let go of our 24 goals in 10yrs number 9 extraordinaire HRK and you wouldn't see this as an improvement?

[Top Flight]

HRK didn't play as a centre forward during the last 10 years even if that's what he thinks he is.

Antenucci is a different type of player to HRK. They are not like for like.

HRK is a very good player. It's a shame we had to let him go. Antenucci will be a very useful player for us if we can get him. I'd be happy with his signing.

That's true. Going by previous stats isn't always the best way to judge a player either (as last season goes to show!) so that was kind of the point I was trying to make whilst having my cereals.

It was a good point. Both HRK and Antenucci are better than their stats show. They both do a lot for the team.

According to Leeds fans he's a good finisher, but has a bad attitude and is lazy as fcuk, so not sure where you got that from.

[From Despair To Where?]

According to Leeds fans he's a good finisher, but has a bad attitude and is lazy as fcuk, so not sure where you got that from.

...and his missus has been rattling behind the scenes wanting him to return to Italy. It was one of the factors behind him not signing a new contract at Leeds.

I think he's a decent enough player but if we're going to make a "substantial" offer for anyone, I'd rather it wasn't a 31 year old with a homesick family.

[bluerinse]

we already have one 30+ old striker, rather we went for a younger guy.

Favours Italy apparently.

My only memories of him are him being shite.. Anyone know better?

9 goals last season and 10 in the season before. Not overly impressive for a striker from 70 odd games so would be an ideal fit here.

He's going to go back to Italy anyway as his family don't like it here.

[maffff]

Gone to a newly promoted team in Italy.
