Curious why he has a C for injury. After all, he played 28 games in 2007-08 season, 30 in 2006-07, 35 in 2005-06, 34 in 2004-05, and the list goes on. In fact, the last time he played less than 25 games was in 1998-99.

that's all true but I remember he had serious injury problems last season. I watched most of Samps games lats year against the big 4 (Roma, Inter, Milan, Lazio) and he wasn't available for those games. You look at a player like Totti who's played more games last season, a hell of a lot more the season before, and only 3 less this season (but he's played 4 champions league games) yet we know he's been unlucky with injuries over the years and so we've also given him a C for injury.

He looks more like a CMF than DMF these days. Also I'm considering adding playmaking*. Thoughts?

After watching the Juve match, I had the same thoughts.

he played this way for Samp also, back in the day . One more agree and I might add it.

I agree about playmaking.Last year Palombo made the dirty job and Volpi was able to create stuff instead of tackling...

Notes vs. Roma match:
In focusing on the Mentality of the Roma MFs...I found that Volpi was the "most gritty" of the bunch. Really throughing his body around, and making some excellent slide tackles. Looking at the ladders here are my suggestions.

Ment: 87
Res: 83
*Sliding?

And I'm 50/50 on Playmaking. The announcers did call him Bologna's playmaker...but he looked less like one in this match

My suggestions:

move to reggina
http://www.bolognafc.it/it/news/pagine/ ... ggina.html

updated team, age, weight

Notes vs Palermo:

playmaking*?

Instead of that...what would you think of swapping Ment & TW?

no i meant adding playmaking* to his special abilities. We talked about a while ago when he was at Bologna. No problem with swapping TW and mentality. Haven't watched in forever so can't offer my opinion.

loaned to Atalanta

updated his weight (-3kg), pic, etc

he looks happy to be back in serie a
