robbo_11 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Its just a Udinese blog. Sampdoria are rumoured to be interested in Zamblera. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Seen him 3 times for the reserves and he was pap each time. He was probably star struck as you were there. Richard Money asked me if I fancied a run-out the week after, but I said no, I'm better than that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 It was weird when we signed him, Atalanta aren't really famous for producing young talent, when the Chron reported "Italian Starlet" I figured following Serie A I may have heard of him. But even in terms of Atalanta and the national team he's not considered a big prospect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But even in terms of Atalanta and the national team he's not considered a big prospect. You talk some s****! Before he came here he was a regular starter in the Italian national under age teams and was highly regarded, he had a s*** time here and clearly couldn't adapt to a new lifestyle and culture. Wish him well tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish him well tbh. I didn't say he never played for the national team, but compared to the likes of Balotelli of Inter, Paloschi of Milan Okaka of Roma and even the occasional striker Fernando Forestri of Udinese. He was not a starter for the youths side, but then the current crop ahead of him are something special, even Petrucci at Man Utd is being looked at. I wish him well, but he was not as good as billed when signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It was weird when we signed him, Atalanta aren't really famous for producing young talent Quite the opposite infact. Atalanta are one of clubs in Italy that are famous for their youth system (they used to field 100% Italian sides until a few years back but even now don`t have many foreigners in their side). Here`s an article about them. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/internationals/atalanta-reap-benefit-of-wise-investment-629050.html Ricardo Montolivo, Roberto Donadoni, Alessio Tacchinardi, Ivan Pelizzoli, Domenico Morfeo , Cristiano Doni, Filippo Inzaghi, Adriano Bassetto, Gianni Comandini and Stefano Angeleri are some of the players that came through their youth system. Not all world class by all means but very decent players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hmm I debate that personally. What I class is famous is like an Arsenal who you can trace lots of players too. That list spreads back to the 80's. It's similar to Newcastle and I wouldn't say we have a famous academy. The two World Class players I'd say are Donadoni and Pippo, but bar that they haven't had a long line of success. I mean that article is now 9 years old there abouts. but I acknowledge your point I guess its just different definitions of success. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Heneage Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Big fan of Ivan Pelizzoli are you? Doni too? Even as a Juve fan I can admit Tacchinardi had a feigning career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Big fan of Ivan Pelizzoli are you? Doni too? Even as a Juve fan I can admit Tacchinardi had a feigning career. don`t know what happened to Pelizzoli tbh. I remember watching him for Atalanta (when we had Serie A on TV here )and he had massive potential and was touted as future no 1 for Italy, got capped by the national side a few time iirc at the time. Lost his confidence after a big money to Roma (did fine in his 1st season or so). Doni is a decent player, goal scoring midfielder but started showing his promise quite late on. Tacchinardi was very underrated , just did his job with no fuss IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I guess I'll have to get another third kit now. I reckon 'Wiafe Danquah' is the way forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 "The 19-year-old has failed to establish himself at Newcastle since his arrival on Tyneside" Where do they make this f***ing s*** up? He's 19, of course he's failed to establish himself here, he hasn't had his chance yet! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEMTEX Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 If there is a chance he could goto Roma, he should be our number 9, starting every game. Also, I like how that article says he isn't in our long-term plans. I wonder, what exactly are our long term plans?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just 3 more years to go and we will be there, trust in Ashley! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
