Giordano Posted 3 September, 2015 Share Posted 3 September, 2015 He scored the decisive only goal when Italy beat Malta 0-1 in the away match and is very likely to start tonight. This is the game of most interest tonight for me from amongst our current Internationals. It is unusual but not unique for Italy to pick a player like Pelle but all the same its a little eyebrow raising over there despite his goalscoring record earning him his place in the Azzurri squad...I'm so pleased for him, much like I was so pleased when Rickie got his chance. I don't count Jrods left wing experience for England as having had his change yet btw.. I'm expecting at least one goal from Pelle as both Verratti and Pirlo are also likely to be playing and Italy will not be allowed a negative 1-0 win by what is likely to be a small but quick to complain crowd if Italy play poorly or lack attacking intent and aggression. If those two playmakers cannot put the ball on a sixpence for Pelle to hit the post or crossbar with (only joking) then no-one can...having said that Italy hit the woodwork 4 times in the first match... Fingers crossed he scores plus no injuries then does same again v Bulgaria...and if he does so under the gaze of the Italian tv viewers be prepared for January interest in him from those among the big four or five of Serie A who need a target man and goalscorer...

Saint Charlie Posted 3 September, 2015 Share Posted 3 September, 2015 Premier League striker Pelle starts for Italy whilst the striker lots of Saints fans would supposedly replace him with in an instant is playing in the Championship and behind Jamie Vardy in the Intl pecking order after no PL teams showed a serious interest in the summer, with doubts over his allround game and physical output. Funny old game. Pelle is a good player and will always get a decent amount of goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 3 September, 2015 Share Posted 3 September, 2015 I really like Pelle. Pivotal to the way we play. So unlucky at the weekend when that right-foot screamer didn't curl inside the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a1ex2001 Posted 4 September, 2015 Share Posted 4 September, 2015 A handball... They all count, pretty much sums up a lot of fans on this site that a striker they all think is our weakest link is starting for Italy, oh for the days when we had such power houses up front as Bret Ormerod David 'No Knees' Hirst or Uwe Rosler!

rallyboy Posted 4 September, 2015 Share Posted 4 September, 2015 If Benteke is worth £32m then the Premier League proven goalscorer who leads the line for Italy must be worth about £55m. Another sound investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
