Its good to see the relationship between Gianfranco Zola and Gianluca Nani is proving to be a success, we all knew that Curbs was never going to be the best of friends with Nani or even agree to Nani’s plans on making the club a success, different cultures and different ideas on new players is why Curbs went, Di Michelle is a proving factor in this debate that makes Nani right and Curbs who admitted he never heard of Di Michelle and didn’t want the player along with Illunga, Curbs was more interested in buying Thatcher.

According to the People, Zola has asked Nani if he can buy Riccardo Montolivo in January, even though the midfielder has 4 years left on his contract with Fiorentina, the signature could cost West Ham something in the region of £12m, without any hesitation Nani has supposedly given the green light to Zola.

Zola has great knowledge of Riccardo Montolivo from when he was an Italian under 21 player coached by Pierluigi Casiraghi and assisted by Zola.

Montolivo has an incredible ability in midfield with all the style of Ronaldo and pace of Theo walcott and makes Modric look pretty lame.

There will be problems in buying Montolivo, his coach Prandelli finds that £12m is a poor price to pay for a player of such quality.
