The Franco Sensi AS Roma 2014/2015 Season Thread

[QUOTE=“Il Bomber Destro, post: 1081452, member: 2533”]We’re signing Konoplyanka for €14m.

De Rossi is out for three weeks.

We have bought Mbwia for €7m.

Destro looks like he is off to Milan on loan and they can buy him permanently for €17m at the end of the season.[/QUOTE]

Looks like Konoplyanka is holding out for a move to England and won’t sign, which means we’ll be going for Luiz Adriano.

Destro looks like he will complete his move to Milan shortly.

Destro has signed for Milan. We will live to regret this.

seething about this

Destro is the Italian Kris Boyd.

Looks like Seydou Doumbia will be Destro’s replacement. €3m loan deal with the view to a €15m permanent transfer.

Doumbia is a done deal, it’s a permanent transfer.

Also reports of a move for Ibarbo.

Welcome, Seydou.

Garcia OUT.

Chiriches and Ibarbo look like they could come in on loan deals before the window closes.

Borriello is off to Genoa.

Iturbe went off injured last night and looks like he could be out of action for some time. The season has really petered out for us, I blame Garcia, we have become too predictable and he has not utilised his squad or the fringe players at all. Ucan and Paredes should have been afforded much more opportunities, we need to be more attacking in games and he has been consevrative. We’ve needed to take the ascendancy in games but instead we have started out on the back foot.

In our last 10 games, we have only won three times, we have only scored more than once in a game on three ocassions, we conceded first in 6 of those 10 games. Fiorentina are up on Wednesday night in the Coppa, not looking forward to it.

Juve dropped points today to keep our faint hopes alive. Juve have Milan up next at home, hopefully Destro can relight our title hopes.

Ibarbo signs on a 6 month loan deal at a cost of €2.5m and the option to purchase outright at the end of the season for €12.5m.

I really, really like Ibarbo and I’m surprised it took him this long to get a big move. He’s very versatile as well.

We’re also signing Nicolas Spolli from Catania for €3m. He’s a centre back and it’s an area we’re a little light in with Castan’s situation.

So we’ve got in Doumbia, Ibarbo and Spolli and out go Emanuelson, Destro and Borriello.

Strootman has been ruled out for the rest of the season after injuring his knee again. Gervinho and Doumbia should be available next week after their involvement in the African Nations ended yesterday.

Fiorentina dumped us out of the cup at the Olimpico tonight. A second half Mario Gomez brace sealed a 2-0 victory. This is a crisis.

Garcia out.

Di Francesco in.

Daniele Verdi starts for Roma today.

De Sanctis

Torosidis
Mbwia
Astori
Holebas

Nainggolan
Keita
Pjanic

Verdi
Totti
Ljajic

2-0

Ljajic and Paredes.

Gervinho and Doumbia in today, Totti rested.

Pjanic is out injured. I expect a big performance today and we should beat Parma quite comfortably. Disappointed that Paredes doesn’t get a start.

De Sanctis

Florenzi
Manolas
Mbwia
Cole

Nainggolan
De Rossi
Keita

Gervinho
Doumbia
Ljajic

The football we have played recently has been worse than when Enrique was in charge, lateral passes all fucking day, slow monotonous build up play. It’s horrid.

Doumbia looks like dogshit as well.

Dreadful stuff.

Hopefully we’ll part with Garcia at the season end.

Drew 0-0 to bottom placed Parma today. Juve drew 2-2 with second bottom Cesena this evening. That is depressing.

1-0 up at home to Feyenoord.

Gervinho.
