Translation: TURIN - The Turin that will try to strengthen themselves in the next season can not rely exclusively on young interesting perspective. Do so exclusively, in fact, would open the next season under a big question mark. Because young people are investments, true, but as such they can not always give fruit in the short term or at least certain. That is why, very simple, so the market reinforcement that was part of this week, as by Sunday evening it became known with certainty that the Turin will not play the Europa League, can not count and focus only on talent of good hopes. To avoid unpleasant surprises will then lean forward looking even certainties, or players who have already proved their worth. Better still if in our league, feature which is particularly appreciated by Giampiero Ventura. The technical grenade, in fact, much prefers those who have already attended our football, especially as the tactical game of his Turin. The example of Sanchez Miño this season fits perfectly to illustrate the possible contingencies that could materialize when you bet on a player, maybe South America, particularly talented but reluctant to the idea of discipline in patterns and roles particularly defined and rigid. News from across the Channel - Well, starting from that premise, here is that the results of Sunday afternoon from the Premier League not only gave verdicts important for English teams but also, indirectly, for those Italian so well Torino. Which brings us to the news tied to the future of the market grenade. Sunday, drawing at home to Manchester United, Hull City is mathematically relegated Championship, ie our series B. A judgment that will bring a revolution in the half neroarancio club and the request by some elements avoided a season of purgatory . In the list of those who will not want to play in the Championship is planned enrollment of Abel Hernandez. He, the former Palermo striker flew last season in the Premier Hull City thanks to the addition of over 12 million euro to get his card. Already last summer the Turin had tried to approach the strong Uruguayan striker who embodies all the qualities to look for in a Ventura bomber: speed, ability to attack the space, and a large aerobicità technique above average.
Strengthen themselves by signing Hernandez? Laugh, I nearly cried. They have seen him play haven't they? Someone quick load videos of his 3-4 goals on you tube. You can make anyone look good - even Hernandez.
"Already last summer the Turin had tried to approach the strong Uruguayan striker who embodies all the qualities to look for in a Ventura bomber: speed, ability to attack the space, and a large aerobicità technique above average". This is part of an Italian Comedians 'Stand Up' routine, surely.
Well he's never done that in Serie A before and Ventura is one of the last remaining pragmatic (defensive) Italian coaches around. I've never been but Turin is meant to be the most boring city in Europe. He'll be pining for Prinny Quay in no time.
You have to ask what the hell Brucey has done, or not done with this fella. I remember sitting in the stands in the home game against West Ham and he looked a world beater. To get into the Uruguay squad is no mean feat. For City he's been £10m down the pan. As for Turin being the most boring city in Europe, you've clearly never been!
World beater? I was at that game, he scored a routine header and looked ''ok'' for someone on his debut; I was at the Emirates when his wonderful piece of movement took him between two defenders to score with a quality header, he had a half reasonable game against Everton ............ that's been his highlights, the rest of his time here he's shown to be lazy and wasteful, a player who 99% of the time, makes the wrong choices and on occasion, falls over his own feet when about to strike. £10,000,0000, world beater ................... not on this seasons showing.
That header at the Emirates was probably the highlight of my 'watching in person' season. Says it all really.
I think at the time of the West Ham game he was running on adrenalin having just signed, he was in my opinion for most of the game looking like the real deal; which clearly he is not! At £10m we overpaid by £10m!
That seems as though the Italians actually rate him and will pay a lot more of the 10m that we originally thought for him.
Agreed, tho' I'm guessing the 10mill is only about two thirds of it .......... transfer fee, signing on fee, agents fee, wages?
I hope you're right, personally I think there isn't a a hope in hell of us getting what we paid. We'll want to get rid asap, he's been a useless twat with us in the PL, he'll be less than the useless in the Championship. Italian club know we're a relegated team and as such will have a wage bill to cut, we've a player who wants away who will piss and whine and upset the dressing room until he gets his move.
