It seems that Pazzo REALLY wants to leave...before he was 'serenely pissed' and now he's 'seriously pissed'!

[bustedflush]

He just wants to play it seems like -- it's a crappy situation for him, that's for sure. I just hope to got that whatever he does he's got some room and can get regular minutes. (Regarding what we were talking about before, the transfer window runs from like Jan 7-Feb 2. THAT IS SO LONG)

About the Christmas party, the video is too short :( I'm sure they filmed the whole event, why can't they show us more footage?! At least 15 mins of it would be good, is that too much to ask?!

And how can Pazzo bear to stand next to Gila?!
Not that it's nice of course because it means that despite everything he still gets on well with him!

But I couldn't help but notice the distance between Monty and Pazzo, cuz in the previous club's Christmas Parties they were always together, standing next to each other or siting next to each other...It's just sad cuz I love seeing them together :( Anyway, Monty seemed to be enjoying himself, didn't he? :P

[bustedflush]

*sigh* I DO NOT KNOW. It's so frustrating! I keep refreshing the page hoping something that's XMas Party-only will go out, but so far no luck.

I noticed that, too, about Gila and Pazzo -- it's nice they get alone, despite everything; it seems like it says good things about Pazzo's maturity, I think. And I laughed at Monty eating again, cos he was stuffing his face in those few seconds you found of him @ Mutu's daughter's baptism, too, remember? :D

ETA: There's a short video of it up here now, more Monty hanging out with Zauri (and Gobbi), but there are some sideburns that jump in and out of the frame near him a couple times -- could that be Pazzo?

[hpsensations]

LOL yeah Monty was stuffing himself again :P I remember the baptism video :P
It's like he doesn't eat at all and then when he goes to parties he tries to eat as much food as possible :P

Oh yeah that is Pazzo! He appeared at 1:10 briefly, he's standing near them but the red pillar thingy is blocking him :) *is relieved* Was he trying to hide from camera range? :P & Monty looks like he was drinking away wildly!

Tell Melo to stop whispering sweet nothings in Alexis' ear! He's ours! Ours!

[bustedflush]

I think it's Alexis whispering in Melo's! The fangirls are scaring him.

[Oh, shit. Wait. If the fangirls would come with him, he's so not welcome. *takes Melo's phone away*]

[tall_tree]

And there was President Soriano groping him, can't blame him for not liking that.

[Yes! Alexis has many many fangirls! They pair him with Silva even, which would draw even more fangirls! You wouldn't be able to stand it! Tell Corvino to stay far far away!]

[bustedflush]

I've never seen ADV grope anyone. DDV, however, is another story.

[*shudder* I don't know what will happen if Melo starts turning up @ ONTD, but there won't be anything good about it. Alexis needs to stay there, you've shown me the light. Even if it does mean the club having to hock those giant Weebles.]

[bustedflush]

Did you watch the longer video I linked up there, the news one with the bits of the Christmas party in it? Cos Seb does the Viola Fair thing, and you can really see that he finds running tiring and had Homer's relationship with food. I'm just sayin', those two-a-days in Spain are going to KILL ME.

[bustedflush]

They're doing their winter training camp in Spain, that's all -- nothing exciting.

AHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAAAA!!!! Now I'm picturing him looking in the mirror, putting tons of product in his hair, going "Mmmm ... meringue."

[Also, I mentioned it in the last spam, which I'm sure will never load for you, but on one of the postgame shows on Sky over the weekend they showed a split screen of him and Wolverine. Heeee.]

ETA: *sigh* When I said "KILL ME," I meant "KILL HIM." Sorry, that was needlessly confusing. I will be giggling madly over the pictures, not suffering at all.

[stickmarionette]

Seb. <3

But Alexis is broken for at least 2 months! And Valencia need to buy CBs rather than sell them, so that one's probably a bust.

[bustedflush]

I'm sure the story came from Melo just mentioning him somewhere as a player he likes but, hey, aren't broken people cheaper? *g* Nice's second-best attacker this season was bought over the summer when he was still a month from recovering from a long-term injury, and he's been awesome since they got him back!

[stickmarionette]

Cheaper, but also a big risk - like Real buying Woodgate several years ago and him almost never getting off the treatment table. Alexis is quite young. although I have heard a bit about him being fragile, so there's that.

[bustedflush]

That's what they get for buying Woodgate, really! *g* No, I do hear what you're saying. And Nice went out on a limb for their hurt guy, too, there were questions about his attitude before he arrived, but he's been incredibly solid and committed since he got fit.

Also, it probably depends on cost/scale too -- Nice took a big chance that cost them 1-2 million (a lot for a club whose biggest-ever payout for one player is 8 million); for Alexis I imagine it'd be quite a bit more, and Fiorentina aren't Nice, but they're not massive spenders, either.
