The former Bayern Munich centre forward went on to state that he aims on scoring goals for the coming season and also commented on the Gigliati signings.
Luca Toni was signed on the transfer deadline day as a free agent after the proposed move of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 hit the rocks a day before the deadline day. The Berbatov fiasco put the club under panic and they rushed to look for a quality replacement. The
Viola management were in advanced negotiations with Manchester United regarding the Bulgarian international, and they had agreed the fee with the Premier League club, and all that remained was personal negotiations with the player.
After being approached from Fulham, the former Tottenham star opted to remain in the League and fight for a place at the Craven Cottage. There was also an enquiry made by Juventus for Dimitar Berbatov, and the Artemio Franchi outfit took it as a move to
hijack their bid for the player, and the Viola management publicly condemned the actions of the Turin outfit, and have been at odds with them ever since.
This gave the sporting director, Daniele Prade, a new task to deal with and he had to act swiftly to sign a striker before the close of the transfer window, otherwise they would have to contest the remainder of the league without a striker.
The Artemio Franchi outfit then chose to re-sign their former striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luca-Toni-c22526, who was available as a free agent for the club for their upcoming campaign. Toni is eager to prove his worth at the club where he was the top scorer in 2005-06 season, and
the former Italian international striker went on to state that he is looking to achieve that same level of fitness and sharpness in front of goal.
During his interview with the Corriere dello Sport, he went on to remark:
“I cannot wait to get back on the field and make the fans happy. I am glad to be back, I had my most beautiful years here. I want to start where I left off. I think we can play some good football this year. It is a great project.”
The former Al-Nasr striker remarked that he had been impressed with the signings made this term.
