AS Roma Transfer Rumor, Speculation, and Official Transfer thread

It looks like Everton will take Ferrari off of Roma's hands:

I unfortunately did not come away with the same take on that article. Moyes said that they are looking at him, but my fear is that they've seen a few Roma matches and are asking themselves the same thing we are. How in Hades did this guy ever put on an Azzurri shirt? In spite of that, I hope they sign him.

 

Ferrari's agent is saying there's a good chance he won't be in a Roma jersey next season:

Thank God!

 

Not sure if this has been discussed here . . . but Brighi
is joining us from Chievo.

There was a lot of fuss around Brighi a couple of seasons
back, as I recall. He's supposed to be an excellent midfielder;
anyone see him play recently?

 

Oh dear, I'm looking back at this thread and seeing some
incorrect statements . . .

First--Montolivo is only 17 (that's for Canzano55). He was
already in Atalanta's first team this season and scored a
couple of goals and had a few promising games. He's been
called the 'next Totti' by GOAL.com; and yes, that is a lot
to live up to. Not even Totti is as good as Totti, if you
know what I mean. But Montolivo has shown a lot of promise.

Second--what is this tedious business of doubting Cassano's
talent? Going strictly by the numbers, he has done better
than any #10/ fantasista in Italian football history. That's to
say that by this point in his career he has 43 Serie A goals;
at the same point the likes of Rivera, Baggio, Totti, Del Piero,
and Vialli had fewer goals. (NB: had Baggio not injured his knee
at 18, he would likely have had more than Cassano does at
the same stage. But that's Baggio.)

On any evidence I know, Cassano is an absolutely fantastic
talent. I do hope we can hold on to him.

 

I've seen him play and he is a pretty good midfielder. He hasn't got all the creativness but he is better than Dacourt and Perrotta.

 

Brighi was supposed to be the "next big Italian midfielder". He was captain of the Under 21 squad. But at club level, he never really impressed. He was at Parma and Brescia and never really made an impact. Even at Chievo this year he was pretty quiet. Maybe Roma will keep him because of this Transfer embargo, but I expect them to loan him out again.

 

Pelizzoli might be on his way to Reggina:

It would be fantastic if we could trade Pelizzoli for Mozart.

 

Esposito wants Roma move.

http://www.sportal.it/sportal/immagini/news/news72366.html

He says things like: After getting passes from Zola, now I can get them from Totti.

and "I have a good rapport with De Rossi and Totti. Also, Totti told me "I'll bring you to Roma now or eventually."

 

Inter want Montella. Supposedly Mancini sees him as an ideal partner for Adriano. They are willing to offer Van der Meyde and cash:

I hope Roma gets Esposito because hes gonna be a great player

I dont know if I wanna let go of Montella because he seems like a Roma kinda guy that we cant let go but Esposito would be a wonderful replacement and plus we would strengthen our midfield with Van Der Meyde

Does anyone know if these deals are likely to happen or are they just bullsh1t rumours

 

Re: Can't wait for next season!!! - which players

In my WE8 Lazio bought him from me, I think that is what is going to happen.

Another messed up thing was Juventus bought Viera from arsenal, way way before there was even talk about it

 

Re: Can't wait for next season!!! - which players

Do you guys think Roma can sign Cicinho from Sao Paulo. That'd be awsome, this guy is amazing from what i've watched of him.

Check out this link for basic info on the guy

Re: Can't wait for next season!!! - which players

Today he has been linked with a move to Verona.

 

i thought FIFA gave Roma a ban saying that they couldn't buy any new players???

 

but they can sell

 

yeah i knew that, i was referring to the posts about buying new players such as esposito and the like. i'll use the quote button in the future, my apologies

 

TAS is expected to issue a ruling on Roma's appeal of FIFA's transfer ban, no sooner than Wednesday, which includes the current and winter tranfer markets. God help us...

 

http://www.goal.com/NewsDetail.aspx?idNews=74980&progr=7

Bruno Conti has said that Cassano will remain with Roma 100%, as will Mancini.

 

Good news today. We really need to get the transfer ban done with. It looks liek Mozart is Rome's next option.

 

Yeah sure, but for how long?

 

I was under the impression that we don't have the scratch
to hold on to Cassano.

God, I still can't believe what a number FIFA did to us during
this transfer season. Bastardi.
