Marino: Dossena for Liverpool
Friday 23 May, 2008

Udinese Coach Pasquale Marino has confessed that star defender Andrea Dossena is highly likely to be wearing a Liverpool shirt next season.

The 26-year-old left-back enjoyed a superb season with the Friulani and is seen as one of Italy’s rising stars.

Dossena was a target for Juventus earlier in the year, but now it seems that his future lies in the Premier League.

“I think that a deal with Liverpool for Dossena is on the way,†Marino admitted to Radio Kiss Kiss.

“Everything is going smoothly. The requirements are in place and the player has given his consent because he wants to test himself at an important club after the season he has had.

“Our director general was in England partly because of that just two days ago.â€

As for Marino’s long-term plans after an impressive first campaign with the Zebrette, the young tactician seems settled.

“I really like Udine,†he said. “The fans don’t have as visible a passion as they do in other places, but they are very dedicated to their team and they have shown that on many occasions.

“We will be looking to keep the unit we have intact, but we will also find alternatives this summer so that we can keep moving forwards.

“The important thing is not to feel sated after securing qualification for the Champions League,â Marino concluded.
 
Dossena, WOOHOOO...

Don't worry about getting wingers or attacking midfielders in.

Don't worry about who's gonna play upfront whne Torres gets injured.

Let's get us a LEFT BACK!!!

Cannot wait to see him play.
 
We did need a left back like.....


I think Rafa likes to get all his small deals out of the way hoping to save cash, so he knows how much cash he has for his main targets ala Torres last year, you never know there could be a Silva or Villa yet
 
Yeah, it's a big signing for a position that was needed. Hopefully this is not funded by future sales and what ever we make from now we can spend. Nice to have all the defensive players sorted early.
 
Everything I've read about Dossena has been positive. We do seem to have much better options on the left of defence now than we have on the right (esp as Arbeloa is comfortable on the left as well) but I'm hopeful he'll be a good signing.

Anyone know if he's likely to play much part in Euro 2008?

Oh right. Well, he'll be rested then.
 
Cue "We're fucked, Voronin and Benayoun are our main Summer signings" type responses.

We urgently need another striker, at least one winger, and a left-back, this is potentially one off the list (first season with Josemi and Pellegrino aside, defence is usually a strong point when it comes to the good calibre Benitez signings).

To be fair I looked at the Italian squad the other day and it's pretty damn impressive so i'm not overly worried by him not being in it. Obviously i'd like to have seen him in action but nevermind.
 
Very very good player. 8Mill is about right for him and I think you lads will be happy with what you see.

Very attack minded but defends equally well. Runs, crosses, tackles, skillfull. Very good buy.
 
don't think we have another player from Italy in our squad - do you think he will purchase another so that he don't feel lonely ?

let me know.

Udinese Won't Sell Key Players - Leonardi
Udinese general director Pietro Leonardi wanted to reassure the team's fans that they will be holding on to their main players in order to strengthen an already competitive side for next season.
»Comments Print This Story Send To A Friend Contact Us galleria zoom The Friulani have no intention of selling those main players who have led the team to a landmark season. On the contrary, according to Leonardi the club will invest in order to continue building on the current squad they have available.

"First of all I want to reassure the fans because we don't want to dismantle the squad at all," explained the general director.

"We want to maintain a super-competitive group," he added. "Last year we tried to strengthen ourselves through some important sales.

"This year we shall make some changes, like it is fair and normal to do, with reference to what can be the desire of Udinese to improve.

"I always say that Udinese is not a supermarket, but then people think otherwise," concluded Leonardi.

8M should more or less get us our pick of LBs in Europe - I hope we've picked the right one.
 
Who was the last Italian to play for us?

Apart from that keeper we had on loan from Sampdoria.

Zambrotta is available for 7M if the papers are to be believed, and isnt Philip Lahm available for free? This deal seems expensive

Zambrotta's on his last legs and Lahm has agreed to stay at Bayern.

Can this person be banned? Same goes for any Lucas threads.
 
Is RedfromLondon the one that wouldnt shut the fuck up about Quaresma for two odd years too?

Yep, before he started becoming lazy and acting like a general loser. Again, like I said to Brendan, I dont read the fucking future. I only know players for their current and past form.
 
I remember being a little encouraged by your post there. Bastard!

Still, I'm sure there are embarrassing nuggets in all our posting pasts. I've got a post lingering one of the forums that goes on about how Torres works as the provider, running the channels etc. and that if we sign him, great, but what about a goalscorer.

Heh, made me cringe when I saw it.

Exactly, we all get it wrong, but they love to pounce when you stick your neck out.

Thing is Dossena in Italy was fucking good, how he has crumbled to such extent I will never understand.
