Hyypia has assigned as an assistant to Mixu Paatelainen, the newly-appointed head coach of the Finnish national squad. He will also become an assistant manager of the German Bundesliga outfit Bayer Leverkusen. He's taking the first step to a managerial career, being appointed as an assistant straight away after retire is an honor, so I don't think he'll accept a coach position in the near future even for us.

in term of physical, i think there is not much difference between Italian and English football... the only big difference is the pace of the game where the tempo of English football is much faster... lot more running and closing down is quicker.. maybe that's why Serie A is quite boring for those who use to watch EPL.

he's an Italian, so given a chance to play for one of big club in Italy certainly makes him wanna stay. We signed him at the wrong time but when he's ready to play again, we let him go (or should I say Woy lets him go).
With Meireles, Lucas and Gerrard in the team, it surely will give Kenny a headache but for a good reason.. But I do hope he'll be coming back and proves his worthy.

but I still be thankful for him for bringing Meireles to us.

My favourite defender... he is perhaps a good player and he might have been a great one if it wasn't for those injuries. A centerback with composure and technique like him is hard to find but only when he's fit. I think if he can't overcome his injury problems than he should only be considered as a cover and with skrtel not being so reliable and too prone to make mistakes, we do need a new first teamer CB.

plus they are also save from relegation threat... it's gonna be a game they need to loose so they might feature their reserve team.
