There was more activity in Toro’s mercato late this week as the team saw one player out and another fill his shoes. On his way out is World Cup winner Simone Barone while coming in is midfielder Massimo Loviso from Livorno. More after the break as well as a rundown on our participation in the [...]

Although season previews are going up all over the place, I’m actually going to hold off on the Torino one until after the mercato closes (meaning after our first game) because I am of the opinion that these next few days of transfer activity could play a significant role in our performance this season.

Everyone’s been asking me what I want for my birthday tomorrow and I’ve got no idea what to tell them. I have plenty of books to read, enough DVDs, and I’ve outgrown computer games (except for a healthy dose of Football Manager every now and again – sometimes I feel that’s the only way we’ll [...]

No, not you, Alvaro.
So Torino has that whole “can’t score goals” thing going on for them right now, despite having guys with some decent talent. Maybe they decided to quit while they were ahead after the Parma game. Or maybe the only way this team is going to score goals these days is by having [...]
