FootscrayRover Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Did a quick google search and it looks like Real Madrid are after him, not sure we can compete, no matter what Clint tweets :-) http://www.football-espana.net/32182/madrid-step-chase-pirlo Saturday June 29 2013 Madrid step up chase for Pirlo By Football Espana staff Andrea Pirlo won over more fans during the Confederations Cup and it’s reported Carlo Ancelotti wants a reunion at Real Madrid. The midfielder is 34 years old, but has been a sensation since joining Juventus on a free transfer in the summer of 2011, winning two consecutive Italian titles. He also impressed in Brazil this summer and earned praise from many members of the Spain squad. According to reports in several Spanish media outlets, Los Blancos have named Pirlo as a potential transfer target under new Coach Ancelotti. It would be a reunion for the pair, who worked together for several years at Milan with great success, developing his deep playmaker role. However, it is highly unlikely that Juventus would release one of their top stars, even if the idea of moving to Real Madrid at his age would be intriguing.

Dylan Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) did anyone see / comment on the random?? tweet from Clint Bolton (14 hours ago) ... it read "I call him Andrew #pirlo" ... that was it and from what I can gather it wasnt in response to anything??? Surely this is a gee-up. I read this and got the warm and fuzzies. No way would pirlo play here. Edited July 11, 2013 by Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nate Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Still got an Australian marquee position to fill too, I wonder if we could convince someone like McDonald or Bresciano to sign. It seems to be the quietest period for the club all off-season, hope we do something soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be the quietest period for the club all off-season, hope we do something soon! I was just thinking that the main way Heart signing a DM could effect Heart signing an 'attacking option' was if we wanted to sign both Garcia and and another high profile Australian, like McDonald (as we'd have to negotiate with one of those players to fit that player under the salary cap). Things are very quiet at the moment. But: On Thursday, Heart's football operations manager John Didulica said the club would decide who will be our backup keeper "this week sometime". The club also said on Monday that we should definitely know whether Garcia will be re-signing or not "in 10 days or so" (that is, by next Thursday). Heart isn't always punctual, though. Nonetheless, with the above 2 statements the club is at least suggesting that Heart will move beyond this standstill soon enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandev Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Heard a rumour today that originates from Sidwell himself (through Intraloy connections), that we almost signed a Spanish player from a 2nd division side. Club was gutterred for not completing contract. We have a scout in Spain and Italy and JA his eyes on a few from these countries. Also, Kewell fell into the clubs lap, doesn't cost Heart anything.....described it as a no brainer!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I sincerely hope Bray is announced as our backup keeper as opposed to Velaphi. I guess I just want us to do something with Victory on the verge of signing Miccoli.

Kiro Kompiro Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I find this discussion about DM's and AM's interesting. When i played, i don't recall the distinction: you played as a midfielder. Why can't a DM have good touch, vision and pass? Why can't an AM win a ball? Schweinstieger is my ideal midfielder: can do it all. Pass, dribble, win a tackle. Besides, other than Barca who play with Xavi and Iniesta most other clubs do play a 4231. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, other than Barca who play with Xavi and Iniesta most other clubs do play a 4231. I guess a DM has more responsibility to "protect" the defence and acts an anchor to link defence to attack? Not many midfielders are box to box these days like Stephen Gerrard or Schweinstieger like you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Like KK I don't understand the finer points of the AM/DM delineation, and I certainly don't understand the significance of "box-to-box" unless it means a combination of AM and DM. All too complicated for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a difference between a "hashtag" (#) and a "handle" (@) - Bolton used the hashtag to refer to Pirlo, he didn't actually tweet Pirlo.

I assume they are going to keep it as tight lipped as possible.

alvinng Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 I would love Miccoli at the club. Not as huge as ADP but technically he's pretty much up there. But seems like some of us here are not fans of his off field antics. Not bitter that he signed for Victory, I think it's a win for the league overall when big players from overseas decides to ply their trade in the ALeague. Hopefully we can attract similar talent! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
