Rather than blowing 11 m on this guy who's already 27 , 28 next year, in a role where we have a great supporting actor and one of the best CBs in the europe , i'd keep Toloi and Romagnoli, Benatia's season is over anyhow , i wanna see how Toloi does.
If Roma and Toronto FC have a partnership, and all that partnership entails is us unloading players we can't get rid of any other way, I'm all for it.
I do not honestly know if he's worth it , we've like.. 200 minutes of him? Maybe less? That's what the next 5 fixtures are for , but so far? Immobile's goal was... something incredible, nothing he could do about that. and the Atalanta goal was just Maicon being like "why do i care again?" , so so far so good , wanna see more definitely.
Yeah not enough to judge if he's worth the 5 million. Regardless if he is bought or not, I don't think Astori is the answer. Not for me.
If we want a CB (which i don't see why we would since Toloi seems ok and Romagnoli is our future) , i'd go for Vertonghen to make it even better, but there is literally no need unless Toloi flops bad.
i think someone on his level is the only thing that would make it better , Castan makes such a good partner for Benatia.
I wouldn't be surprised if he was coming to Inter or Milan, and they were offloading Icardi or Balo. I just don't see it happening for Roma. I'm a bit more pessimistic, but some may call it realistic. I expect nothing so I'm never disappointed.
I don't either team can afford Martinez. Inter is offloading a lot of older contracts, but even with that, they are signing Vidic on pretty big wages. They would probably have to sell Guarin and/or Alvarez to afford him in addition to Icardi I think. And Milan? Please. Luca Toni is more in their price range.
Only Napoli and Roma have any realistic hope of signing JM in Italy. Juve could afford him but there is no reason they'd need him with Tevez and Llorente.
I wonder how concrete our capture of Iturbe is. These recent links with madrid, if they are true, put him well out of Roma's range.
Ya'll really read into rumors way to much. Every player that is linked with a club that will be in CL next season is going to be linked with Man Utd, Madrid, and PSG in the next few months because their agents will be trying to create bidding wars.
I'm starting to believe that Roma aren't interested at all in Martinez. Di Marzio or someone else would have reported it already if it was true, but they haven't. There isn't any agreement with Jackson. I don't believe the rumors.
Martinez apparently sent some sort of good bye message to Porto fans. Sabatini works in mysterious ways. I am not worried. If Martinez comes then that's awesome. If not, then Saba will work his magic on someone else. I have blind faith that on August we will have an overall better and improved squad. My personal feeling is that we will sign a big Nike sponsored star.
Not too concerned with any of it. If you are, just take a step back, or else it will drive you insane.
