Scheduled for the first match of the new Serie A campaign, ready to turn water into wine and Vucinic crosses into goals.
Did this need a thread of it's own you're all asking? You better fucking believe it did!
In other news, Mexes is staying and so is Aquilani, so look elsewhere Milan and Rubentus.
We've also been linked to Thiago Neves. Just agent speak, which is code for bullshit, but I'll go with it anyway.
Paraphrasing: “Thiago dreams of playing in Italy (who doesn't?), and would sacrifice his left testicle to play for Roma so get on the fuckin’ horn, before we settle for a lesser destination like Turin. Make it happen.”
I have a feeling the longer this kid is on the market the more the hype machine is going to take over. That doesn’t mean anything, just a thought. Those happen occasionally and usually mean over inflated prices. He isn't really a kid, he's 23 FFS, which begs a few questions, ones I can't answer. Brazilian posters + Calidad, fill me in, chop, chop.
The Mutu links continue, hopefully the Coke quality in Rome will persuade him to come.
Also been linked to Roman "soon to be Roman" Pavlyuchenko.
Now Spartak (does that not sound like some sort of Glue company? No? just me? Okay) are loaded, they don't need the money. However, if it was true that he was going to Bologna for only 9m then I suggest Spalletti gets on that bus. Unless Spartak comes down significantly, which is unlikely considering they can just have a couple of handymen from East Moscow sweet talk him into staying in town unless the offer is premier, just can’t see it happening.
As it stands the season opening starting Line up is set to look something like this:
----------------Doni---------------
Cici---Mexes---Juanito!---Riise/Tonetto
---De Rossi---Aquilani/Pizarro---
Taddei-------Perrotta------Vucinic
-----------------Totti---------------
A far cry to what I was hoping when the summer began of having Vargas, Amelia, Gomez and Joaquin all in the starting 11. (What the hell was I thinking)
Oh and it seems that the Sensi's are unlikely to relinquish their hold on on Roma. (thats right you guessed it, it means no money!) "One more season", I guess.......
