They may have lost their starlet of recent years in Stevan Jovetic to Manchester City, but have Fiorentina replaced him with their recent signings? I thought I’d have a look.With a possible front three containing Giuseppe Rossi, who seems to have thankfully started to make a promising recovery from his reoccurring knee injuries, and I think everyone knows how special he can be when fit. On the opposite flank you’ll have Aden Llajic who is deemed one of the brightest emerging talents coming out of Serie A at the moment and Fioretina have just tied him down to a long term contract and in the middle of the three you will have Mario Gomez…yes, Mario Gomez, the man who scored 30 odd goals last year for the Champions League winners, he’s going to absolutely tear up Serie A next year, I’ll put my house on it.
With the likes of Joaquin joining La Viola, Massimo Ambrossini and Josip Illicic formerly of Palermo there, too, they could really, really do something big next year. Apparently, they’re chasing Marco Verratti from PSG as well, considering he has been earmarked as the heir to Pirlo’s crown. They’ve also bought the rights to Cuadardo of Udinese who is a wonderfully nippy winger. I also am lead to believe that they are also in for Julio Cesar from QPR, whether it will be a permanent signing or a loan deal, it will be a brilliant signing, what’s better than having the Brazilian number 1 between your sticks?
I think Fiorentina have done the best signing strikers wise, I think Gomez is better than Higuain of Napoli, and Tevez and Llorente now of Juventus. So I’ll be risking my neck on this, but I think I’m right, too.
