dont want to piss on everyones chips, italians and premiership dont go that well together except for the few exceptions like zola and ravenelli not many have cut the mustard in england.

Yes, he is Italian. Balo isn't.

but the ones who have failed have not had pace, Balo does. Pace is a must for an incoming CF coming to the premier league.

Hate to piss on your chips - but he isn't Italian.

He's African.

He was born in Sicily and raised by Italian parents, makes him Italian by anybody's normal criteria,

Info posted here earlier. Talks between his agent and us today to finalise it all. So say didn't go well. AKA they're both doing they're jobs and finding an agreement. Talks resume tomorrow between the agent and us.

I disagree ..

at the top end of the league (which IS where we r going to be!) the likes of ZOLA, VIALLI, DiMatteo all did well.. playing in a good team..;)

We r going to be giving the service any striker will thrive off!!

Happy days!!
