To expensive though. The last position that will be looked at if even at all I would think is another forward/link player so its probably all wishful thinking that we will move for this type of player. Although I think it is vital after seeing that Lecce game
I actually beg to differ on that one. I could argue this with you very easily and you will lose this arguement very quickly.
After that crap I saw this weekend, I would much, MUCH rather make a run at Michael Bradley. We wouldn't see hardly as much of our midfield getting bypassed without so much as an attempted tackle.
Im all for Dempsey..we need to sign someone with a pair of balls who wont jump ship when the chips are down
Why? [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_EcXRq3qR0"]Giuseppe Rossi ~ Just Incredible HD - YouTube[/ame]
Watched Dempsey last night against Chelsea, he was the most talented player on the pitch, he was playing up front by himself which left him outnumbered and isolated, maybe Totti's role or one of the forward positions would be best suited to him. However I don't think he'll be coming to Italy, and as stressed a million times before the defence must be cured first. If we do sign a striker, someone like Destro or Gabbiadini would be better options, cheap, young and have potential - I also think Borini would excel with a strike partner he can play off and relate to. I remember my two of my friends who used to play up front for the same team and they always scored and assisted each other because they knew each others' game so well
Lanzini, never heard of this kid, they call him the new Lamela, which is a joke if you ask me, there hasn't even been the Lamela
Okey, my transfer mercato right now. Keeper: Stekelenburg, lobont Right back: Rosi, César Azpilicueta Left back: Jose Angel, DODO Center back: Kjaer, Astori, Burdisso, Ogbonna Midfield: DE Rossi, Gago, Pjanic, Marquinho, Viviani, Bertolacci Attack: Bojan, Osvaldo, Borini, Totti, Lamela Manager: Luis Enrique Martinez Pretty solid base for 3 - 4 more years! They can grow with each other & become better. Out Cicinho , Cassetti & Barusso ( contract expiring) Perrotta ( buy out his contract) Juan( Flamengo) Heinze( River Plate) Taddei (try to sell) Pizarro,Simplicio (let away for free to other sides) brighi, julio sergio, Borriello(loan)
I think Heinze should be kept as back up, he ballsed up at Lecce but he's been solid plus I think he has already earn an extension. Also Taddei has been solid, not the quality we need but has the work ethic to be effective as a back up, would much rather him next season than Angel
I'd send Viviani on a loan somewhere to gain more experience and bring Florenzi to the first team instead. Also, I'd get Boccheti instead of Ogbonna, since you would have more money available with only those transfers. Dodo will come on Bosman, Azpilicueta and Astori can't be more than 10M each, and Berto is our player. And they are reporting that we'll have a 40M transfer kitty.
Well, Sabatini said he will evaluate which players can be helpful for our future. Heinze, Taddei are definetly not players we should be building our squad around with.
Obviously not, but our starting 11 isn't going to be 100% fit all season long, Heinze reinforces our very weak backline, I assume he was bought as a squad player but Juan is never fit, Kjaer is a disaster and Burdisso had that season ending injury. Taddei is an unsung hero in this team, I was never a huge fan of him but this season he's grown on me, his pragmatism and effort is second to none and something every squad needs.
Heinze actually hasn't been solid, it's just that those around him are normally so bad that they mask his mistakes. And there have a been a lot of mistakes, even before the Lecce game. He's got a lot of grinta, but he's not adapt play this type of football. Especially at his age. If we purchase 2 defenders in the summer, which I truly believe we should. Then Heinze would likely be 4th in the pecking order. At that point it might be just the same to sell him and let a youngster be that 4th emergency man.
Today's list of names- Dennis Aogo - They say 8 million could land him Sebastian Ubillia - Chilean striker born in 1990 David Abraham - CB at FC Basel Armero and Danilo - both at Udinese I like the idea of Aogo, much more realistic than my target of Criscito. The rest am not so impressed by, Armero maybe but with Florenzi and Bertolacci hopefully being included in the squad next year I don't think we would need him.
A player I have liked any time I seen him is Ricardo Rodriguez but he just signed for Wolfsburg in Jan. I did just type his name in and Roma and Sabatini was after him He is a 19 year old left back and is going to be a a star player. Shame we ended up with Angel instead
Reading today about some of our youth players. Piscitella signed a 5 year deal with Roma despite interest from Inter, Juve, Arsenal and Fulham. Sabatini is working on full ownership deal with Tallo, who has scored 22 in 25 games. They say Crescenzi will be playing with the first team next season.
