And mention of Gianni flying off to Italy.

Shaun Derry can’t wait for Adel Taarabt v Joey Barton
By PAUL JIGGINS
SHAUN DERRY reckons there will be fireworks between his QPR skipper Adel Taarabt and Joey Barton.
Scouser Barton joined Rangers from Newcastle last month and has a reputation for telling it like it is.
The general feeling around West London is it will not be long before he clashes with mercurial Moroccan Taarabt.
And midfield general Derry vowed to keep out of the firing line.
He said: "I'm going to buy some popcorn and watch the movie unravel, because I'm sure there's going to be fireworks — like there is in any dressing room.
"A lot of people are going to make so much of this Barton and Taarabt situation, but we're hopeful it can blossom and there's an understanding there."
Warhorse Derry, 33, who signed a new deal with Rangers last month, accepts he may have to play second fiddle to Barton this term.
He said: "As soon as the season ended, the manager Neil Warnock was very honest with me.
"He told me he would be getting more players in my position.
"Joey's come in and, if it's Joey in that position, that's the game.
"I'm not going to moan about it because I love my job."
Meanwhile, QPR chairman Gianni Paladini has flown to Italy in a bid to offload flop duo Matteo Alberti and Alessandro Pellicori.
Winger Alberti, 23, has started just six games since moving to Loftus Road from Chievo in 2008 and ended last season back in Italy on loan at AC Lumezzane.
Pellicori scored one goal in 10 games for Rangers before the 30-year-old striker was farmed out on loan to Torino.
Both players have been left out of boss Warnock's 25-man Premier League squad. And Paladini is using contacts from his days as an agent in an effort to move them on.
