Our loss will be Fiorentina's gain.

Can play RB or LB and he's a great crosser of the ball, we made a mistake in letting him go.

Viola ignore Gilardino option
Thursday 21 June, 2007
Fiorentina chief Andrea Della Valle has insisted that his club are not tracking Milan ace Alberto Gilardino.

The Viola were alleged to have made a £10m bid to the Rossoneri for the striker earlier this week, but that claim has been rubbished.

“We are not interested in him,” Della Valle noted on Thursday. “After all, we already have Giampaolo Pazzini.

“He will be our centre-forward next season and I don’t want all of this speculation to destabilize him.”

The Tuscan club have put their faith in the Italian Under-21 international after they sold Luca Toni to Bayern Munich for just £8m.

Although Gilardino doesn’t seem to be on the way, the Fiorentina main man is confident that his club will be competitive next term.

“Our objective is to finish the championship in between third and sixth place,” added Della Valle.

“We will make a few changes to the side, but let us leave [sporting director Pantaleo] Corvino to work in peace. Mistakes happen when things are wrapped up too soon.

“Corvino is working well with great intelligence and you will all see the results at the end of the summer.”

Gilardino, also a reported target for Juventus, committed his future to Milan this afternoon but it is understood that he could still move on before the start of next season.

Then why have you been losing so many games lol

Balzaretti will have a great future at Fiorentina. Good player. Shame that Juve gave up such a good young talent.

Fiorentina could be making another important signing in the next few hours as Wesley Sneijder is set to join the Tuscan side according to the latest transfer speculation.

The highly technical midfielder, who had asked for a transfer in the past weeks, was on the short list of the Viola for a long time, and finally Fiorentina have decided to go for him and try to sign him up.

Ajax are asking for 12 million Euros for the player, whose contract expires in two years' time.

The player was on the verge of signing for Valencia, but these latest transfer speculations seem to indicate that the player is set for a Fiorentina move.

This could be an excellent move by the Della Valle club as he would further reinforce Cesare Prandelli's midfield line, the coach having made no secret of the fact that the Viola are targeting a Champions League spot this season.

I think that Sneijder, one of the hot names in this transfer season, will be wasting time at Fiorentina.
And I don't think that Fiorentina is better than Ajax, so it won't be considered as developing for Sneijder !!

[redduss.arg.rock]

he'd be better of staying at ajax although i can see him leaving to perhaps a club in the champions league

He's a great player..
A move to Fiorentina would be a big surprise to me.
He doesn't fit their system IMO.

IMO, he shall go to a team with a world wide name, like Valencia, Liverpool or even Real (instead of bringing Robben or Malouda).
Sneijder is still young and he will get very far, but his level is very high and he can perform well in every team in the world, so he shouldn't go to a small team.

[D-Kin]

I'll be surprised if he goes to a club not in the CL.

Still, Fiorentina are an improving side and wouldn't be a bad move for him.

[Buddha14]

i'd like to see him at valencia although he probably won't get much game time with vicente and joaquin there
