Can say whatever you like about his outrageous dive against Celtic, but you cannot doubt this guys talent.

Masterstroke signing by Prandelli at Fiorentina.

Scored 50 goals for Parma in 98 games.
Scored 40 goals for Milan in 95 games - not bad for someone who apparently was a flop :🙂
Scored 20 goals for Fiorentina in 36 games.

Scored a superb goal against Sporting overnight - great control with his shoulder, followed by a volley finish.

Re: Grande Gol Gilardino!

Meh, it's a good goal, but nothing fucking spectacular.

Which sorta mirrors Gilardino. I can't believe such a run-of-the-mill striker earns such adulation from you. He failed miserably at Milan, and for Italy, and now he's back at some shite level, he can do alright when the pressure's off.

He is far more excited than the supporters.

It's like getting all worked up by Darren Bent.

Amongst people who are named Ryan, we are now starting to see a broad consensus.
 
Re: Grande Gol Gilardino!

It is? Has Bent won:

The Champions League
The World Cup
Been Voted League Player of The Season
National Player of The Season

Anyways, I don't want to get into an argument or anything .... I'll keep all my Gila adoration in this thread - goals this season etc.

Peace out.
 
FANTASTICO GOLA GILARDINOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Fiorentina uno, Cagliari azzera.

8) 8) 8)

Highlights of Lyon v Fiorentina

[flash=350,350]http://www.youtube.com/v/4ohidmDSXFU&hl=en&fs=1&[/flash]

It was not a red card offence... there was the slightest of contact with his elbow - if any at all .... his arms were slightly raised, but he did not appear to motion to elbow Toulalan intentionally.

And if he does miss the fixture in Florence I do think its good for us because he is very strong in the air - and knowing our piss poor defensive capabilities from set pieces, he would be a big threat.
 
Not a red card offense? piss off! he clealy looks behind him and then elbows the player whilst making no effort to play the ball.

You're right about it being the one and only Gilardino appreciation thread anyway. I doubt anybody else would bother 😉
 
Farrrking.... you know I'm just taking the piss with all this Gila-love right?

He's a decent striker, and it's just your bad luck we drew Fiorentina this season so the Gila talk will continue  ;D ;D ;D ;D
 
Yet another goal for Gila - against Sampdoria.

That goal against Ireland was all about Iaquinta

Yup... he's always been a good striker, he thrives on having support from the manager.

He is a very hard worker, heart on sleeve player - Italy's version of a Rooney, Kuijt ... the type of player fans love because you know he is putting in 110% every game.

Nope, it was all about Pirlo's mind-numbingly good first-time ball to release Pepe in the first place, combined with Liam Lawrence's shocking positional sense.
 
Hat-trick vs. Cyprus after Italy were 2-0 down 🙂

What a shithouse.
