pretty sure his christian name is Blaise
A ‘top Italian side’ has made an enquiry about Uruguayan defender Sebastian Coates. I am hoping it is us.
Mixed feelings about Menez leaving. An absolute outstanding talent when in the groove but a suspect attitude and he rarely produced consistently. Happy to give the new regime the benefit of the doubt and see how things pan out.
Roma are apparently close to securing the capture of Stekelenburg for €6m. 
In a more tactics orientated issue, I have heard that Enrique sees Borriello’s position as on the right hand side of a front three. :o
Man Utd are in for Vucinic and have held talks with his representative, although no bid has been made yet. £20m minimum please, Vucinic would run riot in the EPL.
If thats true then Berbatov’s days must be numbered. Any chance Roma would be interested in a player exchange?
yeah,rooney plus 40 million for mirko
Mircea Lucescu has confirmed our interest in Douglas Costa.
Tottenham use Bentley, Kranjcar and Keane as bait in £15m Vucinic move
Tottenham fringe players David Bentley, Niko Kranjcar and Robbie Keane have been offered in discussions over a possible deal for Roma striker Mirko Vucinic.
The 27-year-old is keen on Tottenham but is rated at £15million by Roma and their coach Luis Enrique is not a fan of the players offered. He is looking more towards a bid from Juventus although Atletico Madrid are also interested.
Bait: Tottenham will offer David Bentley and Robbie Keane to get Mirko Vucinic
Juventus have switched attention after struggling to prise Giuseppe Rossi from Villarreal. Rossi is Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp’s preferred target.
Tottenham have also asked to be kept in touch with developments over Sao Paulo midfielder Casemiro, 19.
Bentley? :lol:
Keane is too old and Kranjcar too casual to play for the Wolves.
Some nice words from Menez…
Paris Saint-Germain attacker Jeremy Menez has hailed former Roma colleague Francesco Totti , describing him as a great champion.
Menez, 24, recently joined the Ligue 1 side from Roma after a three-year stint in the Italian capital.
The France international regularly played alongside Totti during his time in Serie A, and has revealed he learned plenty from the 2006 World Cup winner.
“Roma was a great experience for me and I had a great relationship with champions like Francesco Totti and Philippe Mexes [now of AC Milan]. They helped me progress,” Menez told France Football.
“Roma allowed me to grow, acquire a strong mentality. In Italy only winning matters.”
Speaking of his aims with PSG, Menez said: “It was time for me to change and signing with PSG was a sentimental choice.”
PSG are believed to have paid Roma around €8 million for the move and Menez signed a three-year deal at the Parc des Princes.
Lamela got the only goal of the game in Argentina’s 1-0 win over Mexico in Under 20 World Cup.

Lovely little bit of showboating from him later on too.
Stekelenburg should be completing his move to Roma shortly.
Vucinic will sign for Juve tomorrow for €15m according to the Italian press. Fuck you Mirko. 
Reports have also re-emerged linking us to Lucho Gonzalez. I don’t rate him, I hope there is nothing in him. Borriello has also been linked with a move to PSG.
Getting slightly worried now. We still have a problem in the centre of defence, midfield and now need to replace Menez and Vucinic.
Was reading an article today which stated Enrique wants another 5 players in before the transfer window - a wingback, a centre back, two midfielders and a striker. Apparently he will only have to make do with 3 new players. A centre back, the names mentioned are Kjaer, Coates and Chico of Palmerias. The two other players Enrique has listed as a priority seem to be in the midfield - Lucho Gonzalez and Lucas and Casimiro of Sao Paolo.
It looks like Menez and Vucinic will not be replaced any further - Bojan and Lamela seem to be the only reinforcements in attack thi season.
David Pizarro is apparently surplus to requirements too which disappoints me, he’s a player I like very much.
Mirko has officially completed his move to Juventus for €15m. :mad:
Fuck him. Can’t wait for the traitor to return and Nico to finish him.
I would like to cordially welcome Maarten Stekelenburg to Roma.
sensational news
he is by far the best keeper in the world
+1
Ajax wanted a bank guarautee of €1.5m for the transfer to go through but Roma couldn’t provide so Stekelenburg provided the guarantee himself. What a guy.
Just goes to show the draw of la magica and il capitano to some of the best players in the world.
Roma were in pre season action against Hungarian side Vasas on Wednesday. Highlights below.

Cicinho - Cassetti - Heinze - Angel
Perrotta - De Rossi - Greco
Borriello - Totti - Bojan[/center]

We won 1-0 thanks to a goal from the youngster, Viviani. Going on the highlights there, Bojan seemed to have an excellent game.[/center]
