FlippinEck 3,702 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Spinelli blasts Livorno fans for booing Lucarelli tribalfooball.com - April 17, 2007 Livorno president Aldo Spinelli has blasted the fans that booed Cristiano Lucarelli during the draw with Reggina.Lucarelli declared he was quitting Livorno after the match and Spinelli said: "How can you criticise a player like Lucarelli, who allowed us to stay in Serie A for three years in a row?"Casting a doubt on what happened on the pitch hurt the captain. I think he loves this outfit so much that he was upset and offended."I feel offended as well. We must keep Lucarelli and do everything we can to convince him to stay here. I know the supporters did not understand and did not accept the draw with Reggina."However, we have to remember that he turned down offers from big clubs like Palermo and Glasgow Rangers and chose to stay here in Livorno."Worth going for him again? would be great in the spl IMO Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueben_d 40 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 he would tear it up in SPL. Gotta be out of our price range though? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 Not now, he is 31 going to be 32 in October, need someone a wee bit younger I think for a striker's role.In the past I would have loved to have had him at Rangers.Edit: We wouldn't be able to afford him anyway, Livorno don't want him to go and apparently they would still be wanting about 6 million for him!!!http://home.skysports.com/list.aspx?hlid=4...p;channel=& Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlippinEck 3,702 Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 ah well, i never did enough homework on it, just jumped at that current situation, only an other italian team would probably go for him at that price/age i suppose. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_ni 12 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 cracking player, even at his age i reckon we would get a couple of good years from him but no way we could afford to spend that sort of money on one player and especially not on one at that age.

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 i was under the impression his contract was out at first but if not, i wouldnt botherI originally thought that as well, but if Livorno are putting a price tag on his head I guess not. Think he's been with them for about 4 years now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangersross 6,530 Posted April 18, 2007 Share Posted April 18, 2007 A few premiership clubs might sniff about since they seem to be willing to pay a fair bit for older players especially now that smaller clubs who want instant success (staying up) can pay huge wages and transfer fee's Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
