well, i know parma spent quite a lot on amoroso last season and i thought it was worth it since he scored many goals when playing for udinese. however, even though i dun see him play often, it sounds that he has lost his scoring touch. he doesn`t seem able to score against the elite teams like juventus, milan, lazio and inter(like in the preseason), neither does he have a good scoring record for brazil. i really hope i`m wrong and that he will do well for parma in the upcoming season! GO PARMA!
anyway, how many non-eu players do parma have. to me, it sounds like amoroso, milosevic, bolano, montano, almeyda, junior, alex and mboma. only 3 non-eu players are allowed to play in a match, am i correct? we already have 8 like the above and how can we even think of buying yepes, angel, aimar or saviola? besides, i think the purchase of mboma sounds ****ty if he`s a non-eu player since he`s also quite old!

You're wrong. M'Boma have a french passport, Amoroso and Almeyda have italian passports and Alex isn't for sure a Parma player this season. He will probably play another year in Palmeiras. After this year he will probably get a EU passport. So, it's really only Bolano, Appiah, Montano, Junior and Milosevic who have non-EU passports. There are two limits regarding foreign players. You can't have more than 5 non-EU in your squad and you can't have more than 3 non-EU on the pitch. We will play only two or perhaps just one depending on Junior being able to hold his left wing in competition with the Fuser/Conceicao experiment or not. If we bench Milosevic for Di Vaio we won't start a single non EU. However, if we want to get Alex for this year we must get rid of one of Appiah, Montano, Bolano, Junior or Milosevic. The logical answer to that question must be to loan out Montano for a year or two. For two reasons, he's very young and could use some experience and he plays in the same position as Alex, more or less...

Junior has a portuguese passport.

So our "foreighn players":

Marcio Amoroso (Brazil-Italian passport)
Mattias Almeyda (Argentina-Italian passport)
Savo Milosevic (Yugoslavia)
Patrick M'Boma (Cameroom-French passport)
Johnier Montano (Colombia)
Junior (Brazil-Portuguese passport)
Jorge Bolano (Colombia)
Stephen Appiah (Ghana)

Next year we'll also get Claudio Hussain who is an Argentinian with an Italian passport.

To AMOROSO:
what does it mean italian passport?
does it link with citizenship or just holding soccer passport?
i don't really understand how can one country citizen hold another country's passport?

i know there is a limit for non EU players. but how they overcome it.
could u please explain?

Abdul,what are you talking about?

Dominic,when we say that someone holds an italian/portuguese/french/greek/spanish passport we mean that he has the citizenship of this country.Amoroso for examble had an Italian mother and a Brazilian father and was born in Brazil so he is Brazilian.However,he qualifies as Italian because of his mother.Vieri was born in Australia by Italian parents,that makes him Italian however he has an Australian citizenship as well.All these players that get a passport of an EU countty must first prove that they qualify for it through some relative for examble a grandmother opr a grant-grantfather.

That is the way they overcome the EU problem.They have many non-EU players that have a double citinzenship of an EU country.That way they are considered EU citizens.

To make it more clear.I'm Greek,VERDI is Swedish and Willem Sterk is Dutch.If we sign a contract with Parma we would be leagally equal to every Italian player since our countries are EU members.This is of course on power also for an Italian player at Greece/Sweden/Holland.Now,if Debs,who is American wants to play at Parma she would keep a foreighner position (me or VERDI do not count as foreighners as I explained previusly) and every team has the right to have only three non-EU players.So Debs either takes a non-EU place or does something else.She proves that her grandmother was,lets say Spanish so she gets a Spanish citizenship.Now she qualifies as a EU citizen and plays at Parma with no restrictions.

Its quite hard to understand if you dont live in europe I think...still I hope you understood. :)

How far back are your relatives allowed to go in order to obtain an EU passport. Or is there no restrictions as long as one can prove his great great great grand parents (for eg) are from an EU country?

This is abit out of topic, but Abdul did it so I will.
Was Vieri born in Australia? This is something I have never really been clear about. I always thought he was like me, Italian born but living in Australia for a while(I'm still in Aus though). When wc98 was on the panelists here said he was born in Italy and moved to Australia shortly after and lived here for 12 years and then went back to Italy. But those guys are fools and I don't really trust them. So anyone here know for sure?

So, when I play for Parma, I am, unfortunately, going to count as a non-EU player. **sigh**

All my grandparents were born in the United States, and, although I have direct French and Spanish lineage, I'd have to travel back to the early 1800s to find any relatives that actually LIVED in France or Spain. Ah well. I guess I'll have to live with being an American. HOWEVER, Parma will probably only be using 2 non-EU players on the field, so there's room for ME at midfield!
