Sport Italia by Simon Martin Published by I. B. Tauris August 2011, £22.50, ISBN: 9781845118204 If anyone had any doubt about sport's ability to warp society, Simon Martin's sumptuous Sport Italia will leave them without arguments. A nation, remember, only since 1861; Italy has survived its first one and a half centuries by following the path described in Benedict Anderson's influential book, Imagined Communities – and sport has played an integral part in that.

PSG is owned by the Qatar Investment Authority and have money to spend. They are in the market for a center forward and Ancelotti says that he has been offered many of Europe's top strikers including Torres:

Paris-bound?

Filthy stinking rich and proud of it, Paris St Germain are now loaded enough to bid for any player on the planet, courtesy of the Qatar Investment Authority. And, according to new boss Carlo Ancelotti, the agents of some of the Premier League's most high-profile strikers have been beating down his door, looking to secure their clients a lucrative contract in the French capital.

Paris St. Germain's new manager Carlo Ancelotti claims that prolific Napoli Striker Edinson Cavani is available for a move during the January transfer window. Cavani plays alongside Luis Suarez in the Uruguay national team, and it appears that Napoli are willing to let him go despite handing him a new 5-year contract last summer.

AC Milan vice president Adriano Galliani claims his side are nearer to closing the gap on European champions Barcelona than Real Madrid.

Dear Michel,

You do allow me to call you Michel I hope? I have seen you play at least a dozen times when I was a kid in the Parc des Princes and your unforgettable goals against Bulgaria, Yougoslavia, and Spain to list just a few. I consider you as my favorite player of all times.

On-loan AC Milan midfielder Alberto Aquilani believes that it is highly unlikely that he will return to parent club Liverpool, given the simplicity involved in his release clause.

Italian champions Milan secured a loan deal for Aquilani this summer after Juventus, who had loaned him from the Reds last season, could not reach an agreement regarding the permanent signing of the player.

In the last year he was one of the best player for Juventus, but the advent of Antonio Conte's era at Juventus seems to have stopped the rising of Milos Krasic in the club.

When he arrived in Italy in the last year he was received by Juventus fans as the "New Nedved", both for his role in the field (left wing) and for his moves which are very similar to those of former Juventus and Lazio player.

Tra le vittime della farsa chiamata al principio "moggiopoli", poi più genericamente "calciopoli", non figura solo la Juventus, sebbene il club bianconero sia stato quello che ha pagato a caro prezzo.

Tra le vittime c'è anche il calcio italiano in genere, eccetto ovviamente il miracolato Stesicoro di Imera, che al contrario si fregia di quattro scudetti consecutivi vinti sul campo, uno d'ufficio forse attribuito per fax da un noto avvocato sodale, e addirittura di una Champions league strappata a morsi e dentoni in una sera di maggio.

So the new Serie A season is upon us once more. So far the typical clichés have proven to be incorrect. The age old stereotype of Italian defences being impenetrable was shattered with 37 goals being scored in the opening weekend. Much focus was placed upon Gian Piero Gasperini's favoured 3-4-3 system and how this would allow Internazionale to regain their Serie A crown, from bitter city rivals.

Serie A Weekly welcomes guest writer Anthony Lopopolo to our pages with a view to the Saturday showcase match between Internazionale and AS Roma at the San Siro in Milan. Left reeling from an embarrassing week of losses in both Serie A and the Champions League, Inter will try to gather their first points of the season against Roma at San Siro.
