Doni(29) - Roma
Once was surely discussed in the Top 5 with Cesar, Buffon, Frey...has this season IMO taken a step back. Has not been very reliable. He does have outstanding physical tools, and still top level reflexes. But his decision making & leadership tends to lack at times and has lacked the consistency that many of these other keepers provided for their clubs. Looks to now be the back-up to Cesar on the NT.
This is basically my opinion if I was a team, not named Inter, Fiorentina or Juventus....this would be the order of keepers I would go after for a 1-year loan next season. As far as potential, I'd rate Marchetti & Amelia higher on this list. I haven't seen anything personally from Marchetti outside of consistency. He doesn't seem to possess outstanding physical tools, and has good reflexes & positioning. I just haven't seen that "special" quality with him yet. But I am looking to learn and hear more about him. If I were Lazio for example, I'd take a loan out on Manninger for next season over Marchetti.My Top 5:
5. Alex Manninger
4. Albano Bizzarri
3. Marco Amelia
2. Doni
1. Christian Abbiati

la fatal Verona!
Gigi, speaking of hellas verona, do u remember who was their sport director during their glorious days?
coz i can't remember it right now... actually maybe i just don't know it....
however i'm very curious to know who was the man who built that great team
emiliano mascetti ,zio

i'm not sure,but i think he was Rino Foschi.... but actually what i really wanted to know is the name of the sport director of verona in 2000\2001; that fantastic team u mentioned in your post (with the likes of gila, camoranesi, oddo, cassetti, mutu, zanchi, dainelli, cannavaro jr, and so on...)
Lo zio, about Hellas Verona and that scudetto. The coach was Osvaldo Bagnoli.
The usual line-up:
GK: Claudio Garella
DF: Mauro Ferroni - Luciano Marangon - Roberto Tricella - Silvano Fontolan
MF: Hans-Peter Briegel - Pietro Fanna - Domenico Volpato - Antonio Di Gennaro.
FW: Giuseppe Galderisi - Preben Elkjaer Larsen
Preben Elkjaer (or Preben Larsen like he's known in Belgium) played for Lokeren and is/was married to the sister of a former girlfriend of mine.
He's a very nice guy.
One of the best football books ever written is about Hellas Verona: "A season with Verona" by Tim Parks (he followed the team the season Camoranoesi played for them).
i'm not sure,but i think he was Rino Foschi
