Sampdoria's boo-boys could force out star striker Antonio Cassano. Cassano was jeered by fans during the 0-0 draw with Bari yesterday.

"I heard insults and moaning from the crowd. If I'm not welcome here, then I can go without any problems," snapped Cassano. "I did it at Roma and Real Madrid, it wouldn't be an issue for me to do the same here.

"We are in joint second place with Juventus, Inter are a step above and frankly in their own League.

"Maybe somebody has become a little too accustomed to eating the finest chocolate and occasionally has to nibble on some ****.

"As I said, the way I packed my bags in Rome and Madrid, I can do the same here."
