I recently turned 22, MT. It's funny as in my first year of uni, I was 17 turning 18 half way through the year so I was always the youngest out of my peers.

That was quite the interview, Frank. I read it on Inter.it and that's by far the longest interview I've ever seen posted on the site. Apparently, it went on for roughly 50 mintues which was probably because of how much Mourinho likes to talk, tbh. So Bolzoni has been promoted full time now, that's interesting. I wonder if it's the same with Biabiany and Santon or what is the case there because there hasn't really been too much hype surrounding them.

Also, I'm interested to know how long it will take to have Samuel and Cordoba available again. He said we have Rivas, Matrix and Burdisso from the start but not the other two. Cordoba appears to have finished his rehab but is obviously not in top shape but I'm not certain as to Samuels well-being at the moment.

Lampard all'Inter 'Alzate l'offerta'

Se entro domani arriva il fax con una proposta sopra i dieci milioni l'affare puÃƒÂ² chiudersi in tempi brevi e lui salta la tournÃƒÂ©e col Chelsea. L'inglese cerca di evitare lo strappo con i tifosi ed ÃƒÂ¨ pronto a volare in Cina. Ma non ha cambiato idea, vuole giocare a Milano. Il suo agente, Kutner, aspetta soltanto di poter tornare alla carica.

I checked out a 2007/2008 compilation of Sigliardi I downloaded, Lomba. This kid is pretty good. Shoots with both feet, set piece specialist and creative. I'm hoping out of all our youngsters that he comes on the most. We should keep an eye on his progress this season with Bari in Serie B.

INTER: LAMPARD
Il Chelsea potrebbe convincersi a liberare Frank Lampard se l'Inter arriverÃƒÂ ad offrire una cifra pari a 20 milioni di sterline (circa 26 milioni di euro). Secondo quanto si legge dalle pagine del "Daily Star", il centrocampista avrebbe infatti suscitato le ire di Roman Abramovich al momento di dover sottoscrivere il nuovo contratto, con il presidente dei "Blues" pronto a privarsi del centrocampista dopo uno sgarro per lui duro da digerire. Il magnate russo, inizialmente deciso a respingere le avance dei neroazzurri, non ha mandato giÃƒÂ¹ i tentennamenti di Lampard di fronte ad un proposta di quattro anni da 140.000 sterline a settimana, cosÃƒÂ¬ da aver confidato l'idea di vendere il giocatore se Massimo Moratti dovesse realmente sborsare la cifra sopra indicata.

INTER: QUARESMA
Il trasferimento di Ricardo Quaresma dal Porto all'Inter non ha subito alcun rallentamento, la novitÃƒÂ ÃƒÂ¨ che non sarÃƒÂ inserita nell'affare alcuna contropartita tecnica: lo assicura il quotidiano "A Bola", secondo il quale in questa fase della trattativa ÃƒÂ¨ in discussione soltanto la questione economica, non la volontÃƒÂ di concludere la trattativa che entro un paio di settimane conoscerÃƒÂ la parola fine. "Quaresma - scrive 'A Bola' - non deve essere preoccupato perchÃƒÂ© la volontÃƒÂ ÃƒÂ¨ reciproca: l'Inter vuole il calciatore e il Porto vuole venderlo". A che cifra? Non si parla piÃƒÂ¹ dei 40 milioni richiesti inizialmente dai "Dragoes", che sarebbero pronti a scendere anche sotto i 32, "ma l'Inter - conclude il quotidiano lusitano - fa la parte di chi compra: vuole pagare il meno possibile".

If Lampard actually uses Article 17 he will be suspended for sometime because he must announce his departure at least 15 days after the end of last season.

26m euro is too much for a 30 yr old player who has only one yr on his contract.

Inter aim for Lampard response
Thursday 17 July, 2008
Reports in Italy suggest that Inter are determined to upstage their city rivals by finally agreeing a deal for Chelsea midfield star Frank Lampard.

Milan has been swept by Ronaldinho fever and the Brazilian star is set to be unveiled at San Siro at 8.30pm this evening.

But Inter have been plotting their own super swoop for weeks and are edging ever closer to completing the signature of Lampard.

According to the Daily Star, the Nerazzurri are ready to up their offer to around Ã‚Â£20m to try for the England international.

Rumours state that Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is livid with Lampard for refusing to sign a new contract and that his flirtation with Inter has caused his position at the club to become untenable.

Lampard was willing to turn down Ã‚Â£140.000 per week for four years in order to link up with former boss Jose Mourinho next season.

The midfielder is now in limbo as Inter begin pre-season training and sources close to the ex-West Ham ace suggest that Lampard fears animosity from the Chelsea fans if he stays put.

Moratti: "What I saw today..."

APPIANO GENTILE - President Massimo Moratti spoke on Inter Channel after watching JosÃƒÂ© Mourinho and the Nerazzurri at work during the first training session of the pre-season.

This is what he had to say:

Moratti, a new season with a new coach starts. There's lots of enthusiasm from the fans...
"Yes. I have to say that besides the fact that Mourinho himself asked me last night, my reason for me being here today was due to my curiosity of seeing how the training sessions were planned. It was important to understand and I was curious to see, both as a fan and as the person in charge of the club."

What were your impressions?
"There's great dynamism. Mourinho is a very dynamic person and he transmits this characteristic in his work. He's very attentive and precise, and at the same time he keeps this dynamism constant. I was struck by the liveliness of the work and the constant presence of the ball."

In yesterday's press conference Mourinho said he wouldn't accept any lateness for training. Everyone was very early today. A message that hit home...
(Smiles) "Yes. Even I was almost worried about being late... This was a public message that he gave, and I think he spoke to the players with lots of clarity, fondness and faith. He's trying to create an atmosphere of discipline and mutual trust."

How do you explain this great enthusiasm from the fans?
"It's curiosity and enthusiasm towards someone who gives you the impression of being a cut above the rest, so you try to understand what it is that he has. It's an important thing because he's not a player, but someone who gets everyone playing."

In yesterday's press conference Mourinho explained the fundamental points of his project. For example, he wants to create more competition in the various roles by not having too big a squad...
"This is common sense too. I think that no coach likes having too much competition, and sometimes this can humiliate some players who don't deserve it. This is the most unpleasant thing, it also happened with Mancini and the other coaches when they had to decide to send someone into the stands. He's trying to avoid this situation by having a team with a logical and rational squad. Naturally, it's not easy to do this, but he realises this too."

There was talk of the transfer market yesterday, and most of all, of Frank Lampard...
"As in all these things, a lot depends on the desire of the player in this situation. We are waiting for him to express this desire. Lampard is a very serious lad and is certainly in limbo between the pleasure of doing one thing and the sense of duty towards his current club. Both things are nice, but in the end it will be up to him to find a solution."

But the feeling is that Inter are also looking at alternatives to the Englishman...
"Yes, certainly. Lampard is a priority, but in these cases you look around. It's not easy to find a player because we're talking about a team in which every player is of a very high level. We need to find one with all the characteristics to complete this group, and there aren't that many. A short while ago we were talking with the coach about looking for a player who has the most similar characteristics to those of Lampard if we're not able to get him."

Mourinho also wants a few youngsters in the squad and Daniele Bernazzani, the coach of the championship-winning Allievi Nazionali team, is in your staff for this first phase of the season. Important planning for the future...
"I think this is a characteristic of this club and of everything that has been done in past years. Bernazzani deserves to be here and I'm pleased for him. He's a very serious lad, he's good, and these are important qualities. I'm very pleased that he's close to the first team because he knows how to transmit the values of an educated and serious person, who knows how to work. And I'm pleased that Mourinho likes him as well. As a consequence these youngsters will become important too. It will be up to them to do well and then return to the Primavera and give their all in their team."
