Antonio Cassano

[bizzbo]

doesn't matter what people think now, we know that a few good performances and everyone will be eating out of his hands.

cassa has been settled and playing extremely well for 18 months, since he got married. he is loopy, but he's got a great hunger for the game. one important difference is that cassa hit rock bottom a few years ago. he's still out of the national team and you can bet that eats away at him. compare this to robinho who is guaranteed his place for brazil, guarenteed to be a superstar in his own country.

technically robinho's biggest problem is the combination of wayward passing, lack of strength on the ball, and some very poor decision making. cassano on the other hand is a true playmaker, he can pass it as well as anyone at the club.

Pure class, absolute nutter, welcome to the re-birth of Madchester, starring Antonio Cassano, Craig Bellamy and Nigel De Jong!!!

The word your looking for is 'better'. He's also a more effective dribbler than Robinho... less step overs and tricks but he beats a man for a reason and does so by ghosting past him. He's an excellent player, more talented than Totti or Del Piero. Unfortunately, he's not entirely mentally stable. He's worth a punt though, if he plays at his best he could be the catalyst for a City title push. Big if though.

...this nutter sounds perfect for City tbh, I dont give a shit if he lays one out in his teamates bed or tries it on with one of Micah's bitches, as long as he has the eye of the tiger on the pitch and helps drive us into the top 4 he will become a terraces hero

from his Wiki

In an interview with Spanish radio in July 2007, Real Madrid president Ramón Calderón described Cassano's attitude as "unsustainable in the last couple of months" and indicated that he would be leaving the club.[6] Cassano confirmed he had turned down an offer of nearly £3 million per season from Premier League club Manchester City, and instead chose to return to Italy with U.C. Sampdoria.

why do you think he is still out of the italy squad? does he have any chance at all of going to the world cup?

Probably because he stepped on a few toes

This guy is quality i personally rate him very highly but as has been said he's quite a 'character'. I'd say he's a Zidane type player. Excellent close control and quick feet, strong runner and can spot a pass, more of a provider than a scorer.

Having said that he is just as likely to do a 1st row kung fu Cantona-esque manouvre or start a fight with his own shadow..
There's a thin line between genius and madness so they say and this fella walks it.

NB: i said Zidane type, not Zidane Quality..

Can you imagine Cassano and Bellamy in the same team?
