Bye Pedja

[Mihajloviç]

Pedja is leaving in January, another loss after Batistuta, but this one wasn't certainly as emotional. He just could not make his breakthrough in Fiorentina.

[Andrija PFC]

He might come back to Partizan...

[Yacoob]

Thanks very much. Pedja is one of our worst purchases, surely there was Heinrich, but Pedja was a big disappointment. And nobody cares about his departure, no one will ever count him as a loss.

[Yacoob]

Heard more rumours about Pedja. He might join Galatasary if Jardel left the team. Good riddance!

[Severus]

the only good thing he did was score that garbage goal against juve in the cl. surely a very important goal but he's incompetent nevertheless.

[Yacoob]

And he didn't do it for Fiorentina, it was when he played with Real Madrid. I don't remember anything good about him.

[Mihajloviç]

Blah Blah Blah ...

Pedja does not suit Serie-A , I am sure ... I pretty much knew he would not do well, because a striker that scores 10-15 goals in the Spanish Leauge would not score many in Serie-A. He has wonderful technique, and that's why the only leauge that really suits him is the Spanish leauge, where strikers with technique score a lot of goals, unlike the Serie-A , where you have to basically be almost a cherry picker in order to score. Guys with technique, like Mijatovic, Suker, Raul would NOT do well in the Serie-A.

This explains Ronaldo's form when he came to Italy, it wasn't as good as when he was playing with Barca for example.

[Chino]

What do you mean R9's form wasent as good when he came to Italy? He still scored at a phenomenal rate in his first season here -- he scored 25 in 32 games in the league, and 34 in 47 games all up.
His last season at Barca was -- 34 in 37 games and 39 in 44 all up.

I'd hardly call that a drop in form. He still scored at a better rate at Barca but to play your first season in Italy with a team like Inter and score like that is GOOD.

[Yacoob]

By the way, if we would give you Rui Costa and Toldo, are you going to give us Ronaldo?

[Chino]

No way. See Ronaldo is very 'technical' player, and besides he will no doubt have a sudden loss of form so why would you want him anyway?

[Severus]

mijalovic, so what you're saying is that strikers like batistuta, shevchenko, vieri, ronaldo and crespo to name a handful, have no technique ?

the reason why they prosper in serie a is because they're the best strikers in the world, meaning they can adapt to any style of game, not just to the spanish league where defending is discouraged. gees, makes you wonder why they play there eh ?
