Managing to keep Cisse until the end of the season was the coup of the repair market for Catanzaro. It’s no small thing: if Milan hadn’t taken over, the star would have immediately gone to PSV, in the Netherlands, where Verona had practically sold him. Logically it is better to still have him in the group: with the right head, the nineteen-year-old is someone who makes the difference, he has already demonstrated it.
In general the club didn’t need who knows what, but everyone was expecting a reinforcement in attack and it was not for nothing that Polito tried with Gliozzi from Modena: in the end the too high demands of the Calabrian player and of the Emilians themselves, moreover for a member expiring in June, convinced the club to give up, probably without many regrets.
The substance, however, is that now a part of the fans is disappointed and has expressed it with more or less heated tones on the social pages dedicated to the Giallorossi. Another instead is waiting to see the three reinforcements of this session, aware that the minimum objective of a peaceful salvation is logically within reach and that everything else would only be gained.
The truth is that whether the Eagles have weakened or not will be up to the pitch. They certainly lightened the wage bill by removing the superfluous and the dissatisfied: Di Chiara had only played 17 minutes in the last nine games, finishing at the bottom of the hierarchies for the left wing and no longer considered a left-handed “arm boy”, a role that was not his and in which he had shown that he struggled a lot. With the arrivals of Esteves on a permanent basis and Fellipe Jack on loan from Como it made no sense to keep him, even if in recent months he has never turned his face about the lack of employment. In defense, a central defender did not arrive in place of Bettella, who flew to Pescara, but the starter was still Antonini and Brighenti can replace him without problems.
As for Pandolfi, after he had reached an agreement with Avellino on Monday afternoon, Catanzaro had blocked him by making his exit subject to the hiring of Gliozzi: in the end it was the Neapolitan striker who forced him to sign in Irpinia. Keeping her, at that point, would have been counterproductive considering the discontent already expressed by the person concerned taken from Cittadella at the end of the summer.
