AS Roma Thread [2006-2007]

[Harmsworth1]

You have a lot of "Team fixing" to do. Especially for the Super coppa. Its not because I am an inter fan, but, I feel that Inter is mhuch stronger then valencia, especially if they play a full lineup.

I'm not so sure. Mancini will need a lot of time to compose well whole team.

Your right... Thats why friedlies serve for...

Cannavaro urges Mexes, Chivu to join Real Madrid

New Real Madrid defender Fabio Cannavaro has urged Roma pair Cristian Chivu and Philippe Mexes to join him in Spain.
The two players have been heavily linked to the Spaniards this week, as it's claimed they are top of Capello's wish-list after the arrival of Cannavaro and his ex-Juventus teammate Emerson.

"I am a Real Madrid player and it is the Coach who decides these matters, but Mexes and Chivu are two excellent defenders. They proved their worth in Italy and would certainly do well in Madrid," he told AS.

Cannavaro added: "I am happy that, even if I arrived late to training because of the World Cup, I am still keeping up with my teammates. I think this is a good squad."

No longer accompanied by Gigi Buffon, Lilian Thuram and Gianluca Zambrotta - the defensive line-up that excelled at Juventus under Capello - Cannavaro urged Real Madrid to take on a new mentality.

"Sergio Ramos is a player who has all the right physical characteristics to do well, but he has a long way to go. Regardless of individuals, I have to be clear: the entire squad has to help out in defence."

Betis won't consider Roma offer for Joaquin

Real Betis president Pepe Leon has rejected an approach from Roma for winger Joaquin.

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti took in Betis' friendly against Levante on Friday as he considers Joaquin to boost his Champions League campaign.

However, Leon was adamant today over the winger's situation: "I have spoken with the player and things are clear. We do not like to talk about this subject because we prefer the player is focused only on Betis.

"We do not want to listen to offers nor to speak with anybody because at this point we are close to the beginning of the Liga and we cannot dismantle the team with so little time to find replacements."

Fiore: Impossible for ex-Lazio players to join Roma

Valencia midfielder Stefano Fiore has revealed it's still nigh on impossible for former Lazio players to join Roma.

Fiore confirmed he held talks with Roma coach Luciano Spalletti this summer, but admitted: "The fact that I have played for many years with Lazio has been the greatest obstacle in the negotiations.

"Luciano (Spalletti) said to me that they had made an attempt also for Fabio Liverani, but also in that case nothing happened for the same reason as me.

"Evidently, it is somewhat impossible for a former Lazio player to play for Roma."

So we can say "good bye" to Joaquin

About Fiore, I don't think his transfer to us is possible. Roma is talking about lots of transfers but people responsible of transfers are doing nothing. When the hell, they will buy those players with which we are talking?! Mido is the only one who came to us (from loan).

Roma chief Prade to close Diarra signing


Roma director general Daniele Prade is expected to jump on a plane tomorrow for France to close the signing of Lens midfielder Alou Diarra.
After receiving little encouragement from Inter Milan from a new approach for David Pizarro, Prade is set to finalise Diarra's transfer, which lacks only a handshake after the two clubs settled on a £3.5 million fee last week.

The France international's agent, Janos Toth, said: "There is a 70 per cent possibility that Diarra will play for Roma, we are ready.

"The two clubs must find an agreement."

Great news

Roma prepare new player contracts

Roma intend to finalise the new contracts of several of their first teamers immediately after the summer market closes in Italy next month.

Midfielder Simone Perrotta will see his agreement extended from 2008 to 2010, while Cristian Chivu will sign terms through to 2011 worth £1.4 million-a-year.

Brazilian winger Mancini, whose current deal expires in 2009, will enjoy a pay-rise on his present £800,000 salary, while Philippe Mexes will also be handed new terms, with is current contract having less than two years to run.

Roma are also keen to renegotiate defender Matteo Ferrari's deal. The Italian will be handed a new extension from 2008 to 2010, but will have to accept a cut on his £800,000-a-year wages.

Roma deadline for Pizarro deal

Roma executive director Rosella Sensi has given herself 72 hours to strike a deal for Inter Milan midfielder David Pizarro.
The Chile international is Roma coach Luciano Spalletti's No1 transfer target, but Inter's £10 million asking price is too rich for the capital club. Sensi hopes to talk Inter patron Massimo Moratti down to nearer £7 million.

If terms can't be agreed by Wednesday evening, Roma director general Daniele Prade will jump on a plane for France to close the £3.5 million signing of Lens midfielder Alou Diarra.

At last we are going to sign new players, and also hold the key players for the next seasons.

Saturday 19: AS Roma - Real Zaragoza

Hopefully we will see some positives in this game.

 

[Kimikal™]

I'm expecting a 2-0 or 3-0. We really need a good result here.

I'm expecting a 2-0 or 3-0. We really need a good result here.

Meh I'd hope for a poor result.

Helps work out all the kinks in your team early. So come season start you guys can be battling it for the top spot

 

[Tosiek]

I'm expecting a 2-0 or 3-0. We really need a good result here.

I would never suppose that you are Roma supporter. :fool:

 

[Kimikal™]

Because I don't have a sig with Roma? I have a sig with my hometeam.
And today I realised that is a special thread for Roma.

 

[Tosiek]

No, it's just because you never post here.

 

[Kimikal™]

No, it's just because you never post here.

Yeah, I have just told you: "Today I realised that exists a Roma special thread."

 

[Cityhunter]

I heard the Pizzaro-negotiations with Inter are over: he will not join Roma. Inter wanted 15 M, which Roma is unwilling to pay. Diarra would still be on his way though. No news about an additional striker?

Cruzeiro: " Roma has asked us about dracena"

Roma has been on the tracks of brazilian defender(edu dracena) of italian passport.
to confirm this Alvimar de Oliveira Costa cruzerio president says:"We had some contacts with Roma for the transfer of Edu Dracena and now we are waiting for further developments of the situation. Edu dracena could leave at the end of month"

Dracena would cost around seven million euro, but the figure seems too high for Roma that has first priority to purchase a centrocampista with Alou Diarra and David Pizarro being top options of spalletti.


source sports.it

We have enough good defenders so I don't see the point of this transfer.

 

[Kimikal™]

What a coincidence...I have transfered Edu Dracena at Roma in my FIFA2005 career.

They better buy a midfielder...

Pizarro ready for Roma move Wednesday 16 August, 2006

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thursday may be David Pizarro’s last day at Inter, as his agent is scheduled to meet Roma officials to finalise his transfer.

The midfielder had been linked to the Giallorossi club in the past few weeks and expressed his availability to move, especially after Inter signed Patrick Vieira from demoted Juventus.


The player’s agent Fernando Hidalgo is returning to Italy and will meet Nerazzurri officials Marco Branca and Gabriele Oriali, as well as Roma sporting director Daniele Pradé, on Thursday to discuss the final details.


“Branca and Oriali called, the negotiation is underway and I think we will agree on a co-ownership,” said Hidalgo to network Radio Radio.


“There will be no other players involved in the deal. Inter wanted Amantino Mancini, but Roma consider him untransferable,” added Pizarro’s agent, denying the possibility of a swap deal.


“Pizarro was glad to stay at Inter, but is also keen on moving to Rome. We will discuss everything on Thursday and I think we will be able to close the deal,” concluded Hidalgo.


Inter will probably net in the region of around £4m, but no official numbers have been released yet.


The 27-year-old Chilean was unhappy with the limited amount of playing time he was handed last season with the Nerazzurri outfit.


Giallorossi Coach Luciano Spalletti specifically requested to have Pizarro in his side following their time together at Udinese in 2004-05.


Roma will now probably abandon the idea of signing Alou Diarra of Lens, despite the French international having expressed his availability for a capital switch in recent weeks.

At last some good news. Surely in the next few days he will sign a contract with Roma.

 

[modena_10]

i really have mixed feelings about this possible signing. sure he is talented, but he has been a waste for pretty much a year. i do have confidence that he would return to the player he was under spalletti but at what cost to roma. where would he fit in.

ideal starting line-up:

Mido
Totti
Mancini--------Taddei
Perrotta--De Rossi
Cufre--Chivu--Mexes--Panucci
Doni​

i see him as a back-up to totti or he could play in the deep midfield role. if he does come, he is a player who is coming in and definitely expecting to start. he would need to prove himself in my eyes. the depth is definitely needed though. with our current set up, i kinda wanted diarra more. i hope i bite my tongue.

 

[Tosiek]

Surely he will need a bit time to enter in match rhythm. He has spent a lot of time on the bench but I'm sure if we give him a chance he will prove us that it was the right decision.

Diarra would be a great signing but we must still wait

PS. How come your line-up is without Aquilani? :fool:

 

[modena_10]

he is still young and is still second choice to de rossi and perrotta.

 

[Yossarian]

I hope the deal involves Mancini
