Parma will play with a five man midfield.
This is going to be long but I'm really pissed of!
I still dont get what on earth is the problem with Micoud.Yes,he is untested but so was Zidane! yes he is 27 but so was Zidane when he first arrived in Italy! players in Italy IMPROVE,he may never become as good as Zidane but we dont even know that yet.Alex is a Parma player,he will go on loan.Just because he is not argentinian you consider him an unknown Brazilian.Alex is better than Aimar,Riquelme or whoever you want.He is not the next Rivaldo,he will become better than Rivaldo.I dont understand why all of you would be happy with Aimar who I personally see as the next Ortega (a flop in Europe) and you call Alex a crappy Brazilian.You havent even see these two in a Parma jersey and they are already 99% flops in your eyes.Every transfer has its risk,Micoud costed peanuts.The man came here to prove himself.He will work hard.He may not be as exiting as Aimar but he spreads the game nicely,helps at defence and does his job effectively.He will never overdribble and he will never cause problems by fighting with the coach.If you dont like him,fine.But for god's shake shut the **** up till you see him play.If he screws up,still no problem cause Alex will return next year.If Alex flops as well then we will play Montano who will be ready in three years.If Montano flops as well THEN we will buy a new play-maker so till all these things happen shut up and give the guys a break.The only signs we have from them till now are positive.Micoud was great with Bordeaux and Alex was fascinating with Palmeiras.Micoud is at his prime and Alex is ready to explode and you whine about not getting an immature Argentinian.
I'm bored to hear this "untested" thing.Thats why we give Alex on loan,to learn Seria A or European game in general.And if every team thought that a new player is untested at Seria A then noone would buy Veron,Zidane or Boban because when they arrived they were "untested".
What on earth is your problem guys?
Primo thinks that Parma should get Roberto Baggio.I dont care about Baggio because of his age (33!).I would be the first to support his transfer at Parma if he was 28 or 29 but not now cause he is an extremelly short term solution.Let him do his magic and I wish him all the best with Reggina,I hope he manages to save them from relegation.Kintazi,has never seen Micoud play and thinks he is a "random" midfielder (I have no idea what a random midfielder is...).He has once heard of how good Aimar is (and Aimar is good) but the word "Alex" brings only Del Piero to his mind.Aka Alex is unknown aka Alex is crap.GREAT!
Look guys,Tanzi made two moves for the key play-maker position which look like gold.He bought Micoud for ONLY 4.2 million pounds and bought the hottest player in Brazil (Alex is better than Ronaldinho,ask Ze Da fiel who eats and drinks Brazilian football) just in case something goes wrong with Micoud so we wont have to search for a playmaker next season).Alex will learn the European play and he will join Parma.I cant think anything better than that because if Alex lives up to the expectations then he is 10 times better than Fiore and 10 times cheaper than Fiore.Alex is always in the Brazilian team,and he stays on the bench because of Rivaldo and only,let alone that many Brazilian fans say he should start along with Rivaldo cause its a pity such a player to stay on the bench!
You propose Gallardo,Aimar,Riquelme.With your philosophy you practically reject your own offers!
"Gallardo/Micoud was great at the French league but how will he cope at Seria A"
"Aimar/Alex/Riquelme were great at South America but untested in Italy".
I just replace the names,does anything change?
So,untill you see Micoud and ESPECIALLY Alex with Parma shirts stop complaining.Give the guys a break! Shut up and give them a chance! I've had enough of you guys complaining! Tanzi this summer has been doing extremelly well.No Walems,no Bredas and no Mainis! he brings you Lamuchi and Sergio Conceicao for the bench and you complain! what can else can he do? buy a new striker? he will do this as well...just shut up and let the new guys show us their game,if they are lame,come over here and blame me,Tanzi,them as much as you want,but not before they even get the chance to prove themselfs especially when the only signs we have till now are extremelly positive!
