Fiorentina

[XaviMessiGirl]

“ACF Fiorentina announce that the transfer for Dimitar Berbatov definitively collapsed after an agreement with Manchester United had been concluded (with shared exchange of contracts, the first instalment paid and the financial guarantees for the second instalment ratified) and after reaching a verbal agreement with the player over his contract.

“During today the English club had allowed their player the written permission to come to Florence for a medical and to sign his contract.

“The player got on the flight with his agent and on tickets paid for by Fiorentina. He never arrived in Florence.

“This was down to outlandish and arrogant behaviour of other clubs, who have nothing to do with fair play and sporting ethics that go even beyond the confines of fairness.

“As for the player, apart from his characteristics and his value on the field, at this stage we are happy he didn’t come to Fiorentina. He did not deserve our city, to wear our jersey or the values that represent it.”


Epic statement is epic

 

[La Furia]

The Berbatov story. What Italian reports say happened today:
The Italian media can't stop talking about the Dimitar Berbatov story. Many say it's something they have never seen before (and that's saying a lot considering Italian calcio is the top place for strange controversies and occurrences). So after compiling lots of Italian media stories together, apparently this is what happened today:

Berbatov decides he will sign for Fiorentina. The Viola agree a deal with Manchester United and an oral agreement with the player. Fiorentina pay for a flight for Berbatov and his agent from Manchester to Florence (with stopover in Munich) to have a medical in Florence and sign for the club. While stopped in Munich waiting for the connecting flight, Berbatov's agent gets calls from intermediaries talking about a possible interest from Juventus. Fiorentina director Macia and Viola fans are then waiting for Berbatov's arrival at the Florence airport. Sporting Director Daniele Prade' is waiting at the office with the contract and has opened the medical clinic for Berbatov's medical exam. Berbatov never shows up at the Florence airport. He decides to refuse Fiorentina.

Juventus, after hearing of his refusal, decide to make an offer, which Berbatov and Manchester United accept. Berbatov then gets a call from old boss Martin Jol, who convinces him to come back to England and join Fulham, leaving Juventus high and dry.

Moral of the story: Fiorentina, next time pay for a direct flight

I swear, it must be the most epic trolling in history by Berbatov, still can't stop laughing at him

It's just LIKE A BOSS everything he does, snubbing teams while drinking his cognac and smoking his cigars. What a player, this Berbatov.

 

[Pablo]

What a statement from Viola. And Juve , whatever they do, its only scandals. They can forget Jovetic after this.

And Berbatov is a complete dickhead.

Not true

 

[La Furia]

Not true

I hear he's class in person, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a complete twat when it comes to dealing with football clubs.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Who can blame Berbatov for rejecting Fiorentina to join much bigger clubs that are interested like Juventus and Fulham.

 

[XaviMessiGirl]

Fulham is a bigger club than Fiorentina?

 

[La Furia]

Clearly, who wouldn't want to be a cottager?
