Interesting notes: Maicon's inclusion is a pretty big deal but it's not huge - if someone wants him for this season, it better be before he takes the field for one of these games (I know there are rumors that he's demanded not to be played for these games, we'll see, I guess)... right Branca? No surprise that Pazzini, Cesar, Mariga and Castaignos have been left off the list, but I am surprised that Alvarez was left off it though. This list probably adds more fuel to the Stankovic speculation - will he stay or will he go... aren't those lyrics to a song? The Clash? Does it mean that I am old now, that I am channeling The Clash, if indeed those words are from a The Clash song? Is there any such thing as an nice, easy, enjoyable, relaxing transfer summer with this team? Will this be the first time I will use the entire list of names in the tags/categories section of this blog post?
For the answers to these important issues and many more stay tuned...
