Prandelli would love Adriano, Gilardino at Fiorentina
tribalfooball.com - March 23, 2007
Fiorentina coach Cesare Prandelli has admitted he'd love to sign AC Milan striker Alberto Gilardino and Inter's Adriano.
Both players have been linked with Fiorentina this week and responding to the speculation, Prandelli declared: "Who wouldn't want them in their team? They're champions.
"It would be fantastic to form a strike-partnership with those two - just like the Sampdoria of (Gianluca) Vialli and (Roberto) Mancini.
"But whatever happens, believe me when I say I can't imagine a Viola team without Luca Toni."

Interesting that he places Gila and Adriano in the same category (I personally find that their situations have a lot in common with each other), and interesting as well that he can't imagine the Viola without Toni-- but doesn't mention Mutu. Then again, this may not be the whole story or the entirety of what he said, so the lack of a Mutu mention in this article might not be significant.
Gila and Adriano is a partnership I can see working out well, too, and what sweet "revenge" it could be for both of them to succeed together and prove their critics in the media wrong...
