Nicolo Rapisarda is set to be revealed as a new signing for the Ball Boyz. Talks are still being held to sign the free agent, but it the deal is almost done. He would be the third signining during this Christmas transfer window after Jacopo Fioravanti and Alessandro Frione. However, it is likely that Rapisarda will put pen to paper at the start of January as he is still waiting for his visa to come through. But the majority of the fans and players would be delighted to have Rapisarda in the team.
"I think we need a striker that can control the ball high in the air, and also head in goals off crosses," says the top scorer Alessandro Indaimo. "I think that we would be able to score many more goals if we had a striker like that, and my suggestion would be to have him (Nicolo Rapisarda) as our centre-forward. We also need a striker that is match-fit, seeing as we have no other options at the moment."
However, you have to question why Alfredo Macchi has failed to make any more appearences for the Ball Boyz. The last time he played, was the BB's last victory, the 3-0 win over SPES.
There are also some sources that link the BB's with Lodovico Rapisarda, Nicolo's younger brother, as a possible short-term replacement for Matteo Fumagalli in goal.
Meanwhile, the majority of the trialists have been sent home, including Thomas Lee who returned to China last wednesday. However, Tommaso Rombelli (the younger brother of the in-form defender Giacomo Rombelli) has impressed the manager Mark Worden, and may put pen to paper in the upcoming weeks. He too may be a possible short-term replacement for Matteo Fumagalli, but it has also been reported that Gianni Torti has recovered from his finger injury and may return between the sticks for the Ball Boyz against SLV.
