...well according to the Adver any way (and the Gazetta de la Thingy in Italy). I have to say, I am very surprised having read the players comments the other day. Based on that I would have said there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of him signing but that does not seem to be the case.

I had never heard of him until a couple of days ago and would not know him if he walked up to me in the street and punched me in the face but his name alone tells me this would be a fantastic signing Clap Clap

Good news.

Who has been messing with his wiki page then...


It was confirmed in June 2011 that Swindon Town Manager Paolo Di Canio was interested in signing Comazzi for the 2011/12 Season[2]. A little known fact about Comazzi is that he can play the theme tune to Shaft on the kazoo.

15.05 - Another Italian abroad. Comazzi Defender, last year at La Spezia, has signed a two-year with Swindon Town, the English team coached by Di Canio.

If its in the Gazzetta it must be true Smiley

Welcome aboard Comazzi, hopefully.

The low down on him plus video footage and a goal. Lets hope he is one of those big dirty Italian centre backs!

I'll believe it when its on the OS shirt and/or scarf picture.

The adver article hasnt been posted directly in here but I love Di Canio a bit more every time he speaks.

If he walks the walk even half as good as he talks the talk we're going up as fucking champions.

Nope.

All I've really said is he talks a good game. I was never a pessimist always a realist.

More of a realist with distinct leanings towards pessimism I would say. I like to think of myself as a realist with optimistic leanings. It's much more fun Wink

As a great man once said, a realist is just a pessimist who likes to think his opinion is more valid.

I think its fair to say when it comes to STFC pessimism is the realistic option!

With regards to Comazzi though, a player's appearance record is usually quite telling. It does not necessarily tell the whole story of course but his looks pretty solid. Only two games when at Milan but he was only a kid, a 'lost season' at Lazio (but he must of done pretty well to get picked up by them in the first place). Other than that though, very steady and at a good level:


1996-1998    Milan              2    (0)
1998-2000    Como (loan) 59    (1)
2000–2001    Monza     29    (0)
2001–2002    Lazio               0    (0)
2002–2007    Verona    170    (3)
2008–2009 Ancona(loan) 30    (0)
2009-10    Verona      23    (0)
2010-    Spezia        7    (1)

Hardly?

I would have thought the pessimist would have accepted our relegation to League Two in December and had given up so long in advance that he had become comfortably numb to the actual relegation.

Where as the optimist would have been forever thinking we'll turn it around, we'll go on a run we did it last season, we can do is again this season. The likes of Prutton and Rose are good players in Wilson we trust. Then they'd be gutted when we actually got relegated

I was an optimist

And when we went down I was so devastated that I didn't say I was going to stop posting in the TEF.
