Signing in.
He just scored an absolute cracker against Bologna.
How many has he scored all season? One cracker enough to make the squad?
Dungeon ffs

Seems a pretty low amount of goals for a striker playing for about 10 years

He’s more of an assister.
A truly delightful footballer. He deserves to showcase his talent at a World Cup and if he goes to Brazil he can be decisive.
Great joy for football fans as Cassano will play his first World Cup. He can lead us to glory.
Dungeon.
He will wear number 10 at the World Cup:clap:
+1.

Buffon joshing with Cassano after he scored his eight career goal against Juve, only Totti (9) has managed more.
Cassano must go to France in the summer, a goals and two assists in his last two games, one against the Champions and 2 assists in the derby.
I will be seething if Cassano isn’t picked. Absolutely fucking seething

Antonio Cassano had “many demons,” but at Sampdoria he is “making the kind of sacrifices I’d never made before.”
The 33-year-old has been written off many times with fiery exits from the likes of Roma, Real Madrid, Milan, Inter and Parma.
Now he is back at Samp – where the furious bust-up with then-President Riccardo Garrone remains his biggest regret – and finding his form.
“I had many demons inside of me, but when you become a father and have a family, it changes your life. Everything changes for the better,” FantAntonio told Sky Sport Italia.
“All the problems I had created, all the demons inside me, they went away and now I am happy, like a whole other person.
“After a year that I was out at Parma, I lost 10kg. It was like hell in physical terms, because when I can’t play I get irritable and can’t keep my eating under control.
“I returned to Samp and had a few problems with my training, with Walter Zenga, many situations that weren’t going the right way.
“Then Vincenzo Montella arrived, who said we’d all start on an even playing field, and I made the kind of sacrifices I’d never made in my life before. Now we can see the results.
“The new Cassano has a different head, more humility, more spirit of sacrifice, many things that in my career I never had before.”
This revitalised FantAntonio even has him dreaming of a spot in the Euro 2016 squad.
“It is very difficult, as time is not on my side and the group has done important things to secure qualification. But I know Antonio Conte and according to what he says I could have a little chance.
“There’s one in a billion, but I want to try, making great sacrifices. I’d be happy, for the first time, to go and be the 23rd man.
“It’s almost impossible, but there’s no harm in trying.”
Casano is expected to announce his retirement from football today.
What a talent.
What a waste of talent.

Antonio Cassano called a Press conference to announce his retirement - then decided he’d keep playing for Verona.
It was reported this morning that the striker was homesick, and had decided to call time on his playing career just eight days after signing for the Butei.
A Press conference was scheduled for 16.00 Italian time, but when FantAntonio turned up he declared he had changed his mind.
“I wanted to communicate to you my non-choice,” Cassano began by saying.
“It was a tough time this morning, I was tired and I had a meeting with the director [Filippo Fusco, also present at the conference] and said I wanted to take a break.
“My choice is to keep playing, I had a moment of weakness. I often think with my gut, this time I decided with my head, thanks to my wife, the director and [Coach Fabio] Pecchia.
“I want to win this bet, this morning my gut was wrong as it has been at other times. I want to continue this challenge, and I’m sure I’ll win.
“I want to say thank you the President [Maurizio Setti], the director and Fabio who has helped me since yesterday and has tried to bring my family here.
“The decision I made with my gut was a crazy thing, I want to have a great season with this team.
“The fans? I wasn’t going to leave for another team, I apologise if they felt betrayed. They’re the 13th man on the pitch, not the 12th.
“I spent a year-and-a-half at home, and readjusting to a pre-season training camp without my family made me want to go back to them.
“The management performed a miracle by bringing my family to the ritiro, I want to get back on the pitch.
“My wife was excited, they can’t wait to see me play. We’re all excited, this is a beautiful thing which will give me even more strength.
“I was wrong and now I’m back on my path. It’s hard for me to say sorry, but this week 4000-5000 people came to see me and I apologise. I want to have a super season.
“I can still give a lot, I’m here to play and I have a lot of motivation. All I can say is don’t get angry, because after two or three games I’ll make you forget about everything.”
He’s retired again.
you cant hep but love him
Lovely player.
