Summary: Football commentator and correspondent Gabriele Marcotti joins us to take a look at the picture perfect debut on Sunday at San Siro to bring to a close a first whirlwind week of SuperMario Mania in Milan where the match may have ended on a controversial note, but served up what seems to be a rejuvenated Milan now in striking distance of top three, once thought to be improbable several weeks ago. Once again, the player in this Serie A mercato was Mino Raiola who delivered one of his prized clients to the Rossoneri after a very complex negotiation with Manchester City and presents Balotelli with his best chance yet for success, paired alongside forwards El Shaarawy and Niang, forming what could become the most dynamic front lines in football averaging 20 years of age. We also venture into the matter of top three where Lazio, Inter, Milan and Fiorentina all seem the most viable candidates and examine how each dealt with this marketplace and crystallize what really has become an unpredictable season with so much transition in Serie A. Also looked at here is the battle at the top between Juventus and Napoli, which may in fact come down to whether Edinson Cavani can deliver and take this title. In the second half of this episode we examine the fall of Zeman in his second tenure at AS Roma and try to pull together the factors that led to his demise as they were not always about the results, but about decisions with personnel that got no bigger than his long-running stubbornness in the matter of Daniele De Rossi. Then we close on the matter of Palermo at the bottom of the table and how its abrasive and bombastic owner, Mouricio Zamparini, may finally pay for the many seasons of calamity and controversy after having pushed the panic button during the winter transfer window with many players moving in and out of this roster, much like a supermarket with very little of a plan still in appearance and yet another manager sacked after a massive loss to Atalanta.
