From a Napoli Forum: http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=18144179#post18144179 Posted by: CuorreAzzurro On: 04 Jul 2009 07:17 AM Dont get me wrong I like Cruz and his talent, vast experiance is needed for the Europa push, but he's is like the Luca Toni of 1 or 2 years backs he can't play second striker hes not that mobile and hes 34/35 this year if im right, even this may be a risk 1 year or 2 at the most left? On top of this don't count on Denis staying if he and especially Pandev/Obinna join the team, he shouldnt be for sale period a loan deal is ideal because once Cruz retires we have no Big Punta. Attackers: Denis Quagliarella Inacio Pia Lavezzi Bogliacino Pandev/Obinna ? Cruz ? ************ Re: Napoli Transfer Rumors, Speculation, and Official Transfer Thread PART 3 [R] http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=18144191#post18144191 Posted by: CuorreAzzurro On: 04 Jul 2009 07:21 AM Zuniga and Campagnaro are still not 100% ours i think ---End Quote--- we should tie them up asap, aswell as either keeping Mannini (preferably) or another LWB/LM the brazilian guy from the confed's cup Andre Santos i think? ************ Re: Napoli Transfer Rumors, Speculation, and Official Transfer Thread PART 3 [R] http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=18144201#post18144201 Posted by: vesuvio11 On: 04 Jul 2009 07:23 AM Things are heating up!! The new name for the left back position is Francesco Modesto of Genoa. Modesto started only 9 games this year and would like to be a full time starter. Marino has been after this player for over a year now. Maybe this is the right time to finally snatch him. Honestly, if they get this player, this would be the sickest transfer edition since the days of Zola.Modesto is one of the best in his role and also a pure left back. Were a few sick signining away from becoming better than fiorentina. Mudingayi is probably the new incontrista since bologna's sporting director is adamant of receiving Pazienza in exchange for this African tribal defensive midfielder. 3 more players are on their way. i hope Mudingayi, modesto and Cruz complete the transfer window...They have the characteristics we need to complete the remaining breeches.

Attackers: Denis Quagliarella Inacio Pia Lavezzi Bogliacino Pandev/Obinna ? Cruz ? ---End Quote--- The oldest player on the team right now is 27. Cruz appears to be less mobile than the guys we have. But unlike denis, He has a great record when hes called upon and makes a difference when hes on the pitch. His CV speaks for itself oh frat. He will easily score 15 goals next year if he starts regularly. I can just imagine the crazy triple combo he will make with Lavezzi and Quagliarete. ************ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
