Nakata's agent, Pallavicino, said this to Calciomanager.it: "There are no talks between Parma and other clubs for the transfer of Nakata. He's in the plan of the club and will remain in gialloblu."

I think it's good news. Nakata has proved to be what we thought he would be in these last months and was vital for our Coppa trophy. He's a player who can make a difference all by himself. I'm also pleased because if he succeeds for us it will be a huge boost for Parma also financially.

Have we sold Frey?

Oh, give it a rest. Besides, Lamouchi has said that he wants to play in the CL before he retires and I think he wants to leave. The guy is 31, isn't he? So he could leave IMO. Nakata could take his place. Although he did speak about "us" and "we" when he talked about next season, the supercoppa italiana against Juve and stuff on the official site.

As for Frey, I think they said something about him staying, alghough I wouldn't mind a swap using him to get Rochemback. Guardalben, Taffarel and De Lucia could fight it out for who to be the starting goalkeeper.

Just relax ok? We'll never be the team we were and everybody knows it. We're all hoping for it though and I guess we could make something good of this but I think we shouldn't count on it. This new strategy is probably bullsh!t. We won't know for certain until after next summer (2003) though. If we sell our best players also next season we're doomed and I'll give up on Parma for good...
