Palermo's new talent, Josip Ilicic, spoke about his 2010, a year made of goals, promises and the market: "We want to close 2010 in the best possible way, with three points against Bari. Zamparini believes in me and I am very grateful: I'd like to give him the Champions League".

Palermo also acquired his co-nationals, Andelkovic and Kurtic: "I am very close with Andelkovic, Kurtic is similar to Gerrard whilst Beric - of Maribor - is ready for a big leap".
