Roma will make a move for Parma defender Gabriel Paletta during the off-season, it has been claimed this afternoon. The paper believes that the offer will be a yet to be determined cash amount, plus current Cesena loanee Marco D’Alessandro.
if only we got him back in January, we could've gotten him for cheaper (even i never heard of him back then)... if he gets called up for the World Cup, then its only going to inflate his value i hope Rudi evaluates Jedvaj/Antei/Romagnoli first in the offseason to determine whether or not we need to bring in someone like Paletta (who imo, is just as inexperienced as the former 3 when it comes to the CL)
Aerial challenges and headers are definitely weak areas in Destro's play. He misses many easy headers and barely win any challenges. The question is whether we need a striker good in the air or not, that goes to Rudi. Borreillo is pretty good in the air, but he wasn't useful for us at all when he was here and wasn't integrated properly in out attacking strategy, so I'm inclined towards saying we don't need one like that. But again this depends on what Rudi wants, if he prefers someone good in the air or mobile/creative.
every team needs it, even if it's just a backup/bench player. even the Spanish NT goes to plan B when their tika taka fails to break down defenses. we have no such player right now, not even on the bench i would've liked to keep Borriello as a backup option, but his wages are too high (he makes more €€€ than Pjanic, Strootman, and Benatia, grazie a Sensi). and you're right, he's lacking in qualities in almost every other area of the pitch to justify those wages. now if we can get someone like Drogba....
I think verto and Palletta will be rotated with Mehdi and Castan.Tin/Romagnoli will be loaned out and Toloi and Bastos will be sent back.But it's impossible, that'll require a lot of money and we can't spend that much amount in only 1 department.
lmao, CB is not something you would wanna rotate. midfield yes, offense yes. but if you have a successful backline such as we do who have a good understanding with one another (Benatia + Castan), then you really wouldn't want to rotate anybody unless if they were tired/suspended/injured. plus, CB's also rarely get tired so they don't really need to be rested as often as midfielders/forwards only 3 of Benatia/Castan/Vertoghen/Paletta will be needed for next season and the 4th CB can be 1 of Toloi/Jedvaj/Romagnoli/Antei Antei's form has dipped recently so i'm not so sure about him anymore. i'd probably want to keep Romagnoli because he can fill in as emergency LB with relative ease
Do not send out Romagnoli , anywhere. he's that kind of player , he doesn't need experience , he's already a veteran.
Honestly think we're looking at a top CB right now because Rudi wants to play a 3 CB system in some games next year, especially domestically.
Center backs can play more games than other players because they usually don't need to run quite as much.
-----------------Totti---Destro Dodo-Strootman-De Rossi-Pjanic-Maicon -------Vertonghen-Castan-Benatia I'm normally against 3 man back lines but that would be pretty damn strong.
Yeah, I think there are going to be a lot more changes to the XI than adding a piece at the back line. It's going to be a busy busy busy transfer period, cannot wait to see what the boys have in store. They clearly have a plan with Rudi having a powerful voice.
Christ tell me about it. I hated my teammates. Still do. Palletta would be a great purchase. He's good, I didn't believe it until I saw him play an azzurri match so well.
I think we'll see something like this if it all works out: Destro Shaqiri--------------Gervinho Strootman-Pjanic Rodriguez----------------------Stanton Castan-Vert-Medhi Scuffet Bench: MDS, Romangoli, Toro, DDR, Radja, Totti, Ljajic,
its all just banter to get a good laugh out of the lads. i actually read up from your website from time to time its just funny to see you guys flock over here to defend yourselves
I don't know about that. At the beginning of the season Milan was looking at him and Parma came out with a ridiculous valuation of 35m or something. So Parma have had him in high regard for a while. I believe I read it on football italia's website, but i could only find a link from Goal. http://www.goal.com/en-us/news/69/t...told-to-stump-up-35-million-euros-for-paletta
Wow, why are you even on here if you will act like a 13 yo? Worst marketing ever, read your site sometimes, but didnt know it was run by amateurs
we're all romanisti here, including the guys from asromapress, no need to turn against each other anyway, back on topic, when is the CL group stage draw? is it before or after the transfer window? i hope it's before so we can see who our opponents are before we make any big purchases. if we draw Bayern, PSG, and Liverpool (which is a possibility), then i wouldnt mind buying a big name striker like Mandzukic or Benzema to get us out of the group stages and progress further and a better 3rd choice CB to complement Benatia/Castan but if we get lucky and draw Benfica, Shakhtar, and Olympiakos, i'd rather give Destro/Antei/Jedvaj/Romagnoli the minutes
