This is the official announcement of the acquisition by the black V of Koponen :
Having accompanied the press to visit the site which currently surrounds the Futurshow Station, Claudio Sabatini announced Petteri Koponen signed with the Finnish. "After a year of relationship, so to speak, for him, we managed to bring in Bologna Petteri Koponen in a tough negotiation, rather than Boykins, where we had to convince him, the club, the mother, and American agents. But now we are happy to have brought home an important result: it is a player who has 4 year contract with an NBA escape each year, July, because it is still a first choice, but if not go to America will remain here until 2013. And, if you go away, we will come financially rewarded, and not a little. It 's a great investment for the future, and the contract will also have space for sponsors, since he is now the second most famous Finnish sports, after Raikkonen. "
"He is now in Finland, will be soon in Italy, and we signed at 5 o'clock this morning after many sleepless nights: the competition was strong, even close, but Sacrati, Savic and Hammers have yet to get to eat so many sandwiches us. will be presented soon find a space, since it is playing in the National Assembly, which is a pity that the ULEB has not accepted our request to join. Of course, after last year maybe a little 'we deserve it, but now we have proven to be a club with a future, for Europe to change their minds. "
"The goal is to repay the affection of our fans, and the first hugs were nice: we have done our market, and being one who has always taken its responsibilities, if last year I had agreed to cover the faults, I now have all the choices made in its beak, which were endorsed by Renato Pasquali, however, and it's nice that my ideas were accepted. I'll put my face, but the fans deserved this economic effort. How much are the salaries? We do not want to think, but it is the first time that the budget is in balance .
"subscriptions? I do not know if you reopen the campaign now. Now think of the team, made up of young players and of international level, starting from Vukcevic, reaching Koponen: he can have a great future, as well as Boykins had a great past. "
"The Nokia? He gave us a big hand, and for this we have modified the pre-season going to play in Finland with his former team, whose home is close to the headquarters of Nokia. E 'for us a company of great prestige, that we has given great confidence, there was a mutual sympathy, and then from there was born an agreement with relatives. His agents, for 3-4 nights, they put a spoke in the wheel, always postponing the end of the negotiation, but we have waited. "
"He is the most futuristic, but when we started planning the team wanted a team short. Chiacig then gave his willingness to remain in Virtus, reaching a height of nine players, and maybe the tenth would be better to have him as a man from the bench, but now we have ten players available to the coach really interchangeable, which will add two players series, one of which will be Malagoli. We will here the Final Eight, I hope to make the Cup final, and if all goes well in February-March we will play almost twenty matches. But I think a good coach will manage a bench so long, and good players will find their own space without problems "
" Koponen has already spoken to Easter, and we have spoken to the coach who raised him: they know that important for us, the field of youth. Now the first team is ready, but we are doing great in track recruitment for the youth sector, extending the six-year contract that both Sanguettoli Consolini. He will train for a year next to Boykins and his teammates, something that will do grow, and knows he will find space here, a team which lacked an important piece like him we needed experience, but also long-term projects, with lots of long contracts for work in perspective. "
"Now we want to finish this indoor stadium, as part of a project that should bring a smile to our fans: It is said that large investments will lead to great results, but in the meantime we try. And add to this the museum Palasport Virtus, to touch the history of this society. "
"Bonora? We have proposed, I thank the player for his time, and if it had not arrived there was Koponen him. But the choices must be made not only with the heart, is also the head of a 35 year old, but like him, and as a 20 year old Koponen, we had to do so, within a project that Virtus think about the future. In the end I think the market has been good, even at the level of international prestige. "
"Our opponents? Siena, Rome and Milan are big clubs, we are behind them, there is also Treviso, then Markovski Avellino, where he made a good team, and teams second level, with reference to Fortitudo not random: they took our waste, and where a team will Don Mazzi. The Queen will hear market puts pressure, but after spending a season in which we counted the days missing at the end of the season, mind you there. We had to change a lot, both as a coach and as managers, but now it's nice to hear that our work was appreciated. Fans who have recently been expressed in a non polite remain outside the stadiums, and if you have subscribed will recover the money back. We must all work to one goal, and we can stand to argue when you love so much: I think I see 500 people at Cierrebi has been very positive. "
"The team is now in Garfagnana, will then travel to Cortina, and we will make these 10 items a great team. I'll put your face in everything we're doing, because the fans deserve them. This year, do not forget it, we do not only participate, but last year I got really angry. Now, who is here knows that we want to win, maybe you can not, but since the first of the season we'll go to camp with the sport that is evil. In League Cup as: we wanted a European showcase, also to avoid weeks of just training. "
In an appendix, Claudio Sabatini said Alan Anderson, while not being rationed, will be the fifth of the fifth extra-black, and begin preparing with the team shortly.
not that give me trouble skirmishes summer, but here Sabatini has demonstrated tamarragine her and the desire of passionate minds in a time when the environment is very quiet.
For me (almost) everything is part of the show, teasing the rival team's city as well, but no offense though.
Incidentally, I do not care anything about the derby in Bologna, but I was Virtussino or fortitude I had been reading these words would make me very angry!
I almost teasing the well-being of Mourinho bar .... :)
Two notes on the lines marked in red:
1 - " How much are the salaries? Not want to think, but it is the first time that the budget is in balance " Sabatini has clearly killed to obtain the three-year licensing Euroleague ... But if something goes wrong in your opinion is not likely to sink the boat?
2 - " Claudio Sabatini said Alan Anderson, while not being rationed, will be the fifth of the fifth extra-black, and begin preparing with the team shortly. " : why Alan Anderson has never accepted such a thing? Sabatini is trying to sell it or what?
By the way I would have very nearly taken the place of Langford:)
Jaaber is taken for granted, but by whom??
