Andrea Merenda who is he.

[tuftman]

Im more interested in how he went from training with Inter Milan, and playing for the Azzurini...to playing in the 3rd and 4th divisions in Italy.

 

[goingtoadisco]

Mmmmmmmm......sounds more like an old waster looking for a free holiday because he's no longer wanted in the lower divisions of Italy. :-\

I hope I'm wrong.

Finally, some progress. Hope he is a gun.

+1

Can't believe he has been staying here all that time without signing a deal. Seems a bit weird, must be very keen on a new life in Aus.

Or a has been.

well he has been trialling for the last couple of weeks so i guess lawrie would have a fair indication of his abilities

the only other two players from memory that have signed from trials are mile and matty simon and they turned out ok

pedj bojic is another player who trialed for free.

Why would a washed up player go all the way to australia and work for free for so long, just for a free holyday ??

 

[Ursus]

The only other person I know who trialled with a Serie A club, then played Serie C, before coming to Australia was Striker 9. 
Haven't seen him on the forum for a while, he must be working hard.  ;D

Its not a holiday, if you read the article he is after a long term deal and is bringing his family with him.

Inter??

 

[Mariner Girl]

How do think I feel? I follow Inter and now they are managed by the "Special One". Special what - I am still trying to work out.

 

[Sym]

Many are tipping Inter for champions league glory this season

Try getting ahead of the mighty Lazio in Italy though

Now Sym, both hands on the wheel please.
At least we agree on the Mariners, hey?

 

[Blackadder]

Hopefully not a hack in the Jardel or Berti class.
Will reserve judgement till he is seen in a game situation.

 

[bulldogmariner]

he will play NYL next week against JETS

 

[Blair]

[Sean]

Apparently his name translates to Afternoon Snack.

Hehehehe...you know how hard I work!

Also, nothing wrong with Serie C - it is far superior to the A-League.

How do think I feel? I follow Inter and now they are managed by the "Special One". Special what - I am still trying to work out.

and, Ms Mariner Girl...terribly disappointed in you for following Inter !  juve is the team ..-

 

[FFC Mariner]

The HAL and CCM in particular are by far the best team in the whole wide world.

Anyone who disagrees needs a good hiding (or so I was told today)

so his nickname wll be SMOKO then i guess...

 

[Wombat]

Could solve short term problem.  Jedi to shore up rudderless defence and Merenda to play Defensive middie in this place.

 

[Razorback]

I'm pretty sure Merenda hasn't got a clearance from the FFA. But thats great thinking Jedinak played great at CB against NZ at Knox grammar
