Andrea Ranocchia

[M.Adnan]

I've heard some people say he's similar to Nesta when he was younger. Is this a good comparison?

I heard the same comparison to Nesta when Legrottaglie first came out.

 

[Black&Blue]

It seems obvious that some people here haven't seen this player...

 

[Nero Indigo]

I haven't....and I think it'll be a while before we see another tandem like Cannavaro and Nesta for Italy. Especially Nesta- that athleticism, ball control and agility along with his complete defensive skills. Nobody was better when he was in his prime, however the funniest thing about great defenders, is that when they get beaten on the field, they really look bad

Samuel against Kaka?

And it's obvious that you have been smoking reefer every time you've seen him...

 

[Nero Indigo]

Samuel against Kaka?

OH YEAAAH HAHAHAHA* ... yeah that was baaaaaad* But remember Kaka against the Man Utd Defensive Line? that was PES son! HAHAHAAHA

But anyways, Is Ranocchia agile? everything else develops with time, but agility is a gift

Yeah, he's pretty agile.

 

[Hollywood]

Nesta is one of the best CB's ever, Ranocchia is too young to compare. He's vero good though. There's no proof of Ranocchia already bought by Inter, but I think he's gonna be the one we sign. There are constant rumours of him coming to Inter this summer.

 

[Gasparroni]

He got injured against Fiorentina and needs an operation. His season is over. This really sucks......I hope we are still getting him in the summer. He is a great talent.

 

[skeet]

wow... that certainly means bari will finish in the bottom half of the table, what a shame

 

[Gasparroni]

There are rumours that Bari are behind Andreolli to cover Ranocchia's place for the rest of the season. We should handle very fast: give Burdisso to Roma in change of Andreolli, rent Andreolli at Bari and make a good deal that in the summer we can take over Ranocchia and/or Bonucci (for much money, but we could take at least Andreolli in part of the deal).

Thats a good move but is too mucho for Branca mind....

 

[Xoonky]

Lol, don't over-stress Branca, the guy just had his bday and is still on a partymind.

Actually Genoa owns Ranocchia,anyway I think that Inter has a sort of deal with them so there's no problem to buy him....another CB that we are looking for the next season is Boateng (Hamburg,very good too).

 

[Bob Sacamano]

Yes, Boateng would be great, i saw him a couple of times, a young physical strong and tall defender who already made his debut for the German NT.

Where did you read that about Boateng?

There's that rumour about Boateng since the last summer in Italy,he's one of the main targets for the next season about CB,with Ranocchia and Fernandes,but I think we'll buy much more easily Ranocchia (as I said)....it seems that also Man City are looking for Boateng.

 

[Xoonky]

Yeah, i heard about Boateng in several places, he even admitted it exclusively to Goal.com. But isn't he a full back?

 

[Bob Sacamano]

No, he's a CB.

 

[Jimmy Page]

Wasnt he the guy who has refused to sign an extension of his contract at Hamburg? If it is him, Milan is also romoured to be after him
