GarethRDR Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 From Riviersport.de... Pezzoni in England im Gespräch Pezzoni in England this week Kevin Pezzoni hat sich nach den Querelen um seine Vertragsauflösung beim Fußball-Zweitligisten 1. FC Köln auf die Suche nach einem neuen Verein begeben. Kevin Pezzoni has started the search for a new club following the termination of his contract with second division outfit 1.FC Köln. Übereinstimmenden Zeitungsberichten zufolge reiste der 23-Jährige zu Gesprächen über seine sportliche Zukunft nach England. Im Fußball-Mutterland sollen der Premier-League-Klub Aston Villa und Zweitligist FC Middlesbrough Interesse an einer Verpflichtung des ablösefreien Abwehrspielers signalisiert haben. In Schottland sollen Sondierungsgespräche mit Meister Celtic Glasgow stattfinden. According to newspaper reports, the 23 year old travelled to England to discuss his sporting future, with Aston Villa and Middlesbrough having expressed interest in signing the defender (now a free agent). The player is also believed to have had initial discussions with Scottish champions Celtic. Pezzoni, der als Jugendspieler zwischen 2003 und 2008 bei den Blackburn Rovers Erfahrungen auf der Insel sammelte, steht angeblich auch beim niederländischen Erstligisten VV Venlo auf der Wunschliste. Pezzoni hatte seinen Vertrag in Köln Ende August kurz vor Ablauf der Transferfrist aufgelöst. Hintergrund waren Angriffe und Drohungen von FC-Hooligans gegen den gebürtigen Frankfurter. Über die Umstände der Trennung ist am vergangenen Wochenende ein öffentlicher Streit zwischen Spieler und Verein entbrannt. Pezzoni has previously played in England for Blackburn Rovers' youth teams (from 2003 to 2008) and is reportedly also on the wish list of Eredivise side VVV-Venlo. Pezzoni had terminated his contract with Köln in late August (just prior to the transfer deadline) following incidents of vandalism and abuse targeted at the Frankfurt-born player by hooligan Köln fans. In the wake of this, both player and club sought a mutual termination. Article's a bit old now so judge for yourself how relevant the link would still be, though he's still up for grabs at the moment. Pezzoni's issues with Kölner scum makes interesting/depressing reading in any event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SikhInTrinity Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Think with Dunne out for another month or so, we're an injury away from being in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 Is he any good? He's a unit (could easily take Benteke's lunch money off him) and looked quite handy when he broke through into the Goatshagger's first team back in 2009, but he's definitely gone off the boil over the last few campaigns.
