Awesome, awesome, awesome.

Except for the fact that Fiorentina will find a way to ruin the party.

I wouldn't complain :D Well I feel bad seeing them raid Villarreal but the Valero deal fit all parties.

Realistically, I'd rather see them focus on Gargano or Ralf right now than Aquilini, but apparently negotiations for the latter are ongoing.


By the way, today is the 10th anniversary of the club's revival as Florentia Viola, hence all this.

Cheers for the £6m wasn't expecting more than £2m! Sad to see aquilani go but never really wanted to leave Italy.

First real match on right now, the Coppa Italia matchup vs Novara. 2 - 0 (Ljajic, Pasqual)

While it's only Novara, the passing has been downright awesome even with Aquilani out, easily the best midfield we've had since Montolivo, Liverani, Kuzmanovic, the potential is there to be even better.

Borja Valero looks as good as he did with Villarreal, obviously too soon to see if he will break the curse of the Spanish in Serie A, but he looks plenty comfortable to me. Ljajic is on fire goals wise, perhaps the Delio Rossi incident really did wake him up. Mati and Cuadrado came on in the second half to put on a dribbling clinic. The defense hasn't had to do much but Roncaglia continues to look like a steal.

Of course Novara is a Serie B team so the lack of finishing and an untested defense might be exposed against better teams, but that level of possession domination is a good sign.

MOTM for me is Valero.
