Buffon and Mascherano , objectives of the market.


I am so happy, that we are back in business looking for top players.


SIX NEW SIGNINGS THIS COMING SUMMER

 

Main Objectives:

1 - New Keeper
2 - New Left Back
3 - New Right back
4 - New Center Back
5 - Attacking Midfielder
6 - Midfielder

 

We won't get Buffon.

With Sabatini though I believe we can nick Sirigu and Pastore from Palermo. Perhaps Cassani too who I rate highly.

Would like to take a gamble on Santon too. Not sure Inter will keep him if a healthy offer comes his way.

 

Actually I don't think you'll trade with Palermo... not without Zampa ripping you off, if he even agrees to deal with Sabatini... having him imo would actually hurt you in dealing with Palermo and Zampa, not the other way around.

Anyways I wouldn't take any of those names seriously now.. it's all speculation.

 

Think we could get more than 6 if Mexes and Menez leave though I think we can still keep Mexes then we don't need a CB.

 

Yes, Sirigu would be great

- Keeper: Sirigu
- Right back: Cassani
- Left back: Ziegler ( on other board I read he is free)
- Center back: Resign Mexes, if not ???
- Attacking mid: Pastore
- Midfielder: Inler

 

Is Sabatini a real thing and what is the source?

Translation:

Walter Sabatini is close to Rome. The former Lazio and Palermo's sporting director, within the next few days or even hours, will meet Thomas Di Benedetto, Italian-American businessman interested in buying AS Roma. A face to face meeting to know whether the conditions exist to get the signature of Sabatini. His arrival is closely related to that of Franco Baldini, who will fill the role of general manager.

 

So give away Menez but sign Marin. :yuck:

You guys think Menez lacks substance, wait till you see this guy. alm:

 

Wow. A lot to take in all at once.

 

Good thing is, he isnt like other owners willing to play and have fun.He is hiring people like Baldini/Sabatini who are in the know of the game.

 

With Thomas Di Benedetto's takeover close to completion, Roma are drawing up a wish list of players for next season.

Di Benedetto arrived in Rome on Monday afternoon and was mobbed by journalists eager to discover his plans for the club.

The American told La Gazzetta dello Sport that he wants Roma to finish in the top three places in Serie A every season.

Di Benedetto has been in contact with England general manager Franco Baldini who has recommended Walter Sabatini as a director of sport.

Sabatini recently oversaw Palermo's transfer policy bringing the likes of Javier Pastore, Josip Ilicic and Abel Hernandez to Serie A.

However, it's said that Sabatini already has an agreement with Sampdoria ahead of next season.

Nevertheless, speculation is mounting that Roma will launch bids for Javier Mascherano, Gabi Milito, Federico Balzaretti, Diego Lugano and Gigi Buffon.

Translation:

The wedding between Roma and Marco Borriello seems to be already over:Joined Roma late august after refusing Juventus, Borriello could now take the road to Napoli, leaving a vacancy In Attack that would be filled by Gilardino. Gilardino is looking for new challenges after the experience with Fiorentina's got no hope , and the new city of the Americans might be an interesting challenge.
The players is evaluated at 20 million, a figure that Rome can lower to at least 16 by entering a few players from the youth sector. Gilardino, who keeps dreaming of Juventus would be very happy to arrive to Roma in the summer.The two companies should have to meet in early June to put pen to paper the deal, but Fiorentina is not prepared to grant discounts even if, as promised by DiBenedetto, AS Roma is ready to do significant investments in the transfer market.


I say big no to Gilardino, I rather keep Borriello then sign Gilardino. He is not up for top team.

 

What are the odds all those names of players mentioned are complete fabrication and guesswork? I'd say at least 95 %.

 

you're being generous.

 

Fcuk Santon by the way, Crescenzi should come back. The guy will be a top FB. Or we can have both for the future

 

Didn't Sabatini before joining Palermo in 2008 work with Lazio for 4-5 years during which he did jack shit? I don't understand all the hype.

International break + takeover talks = Media frenzy

I bet 99.99% of every rumour we heard so far is nothing but fabrication.

 

roma should build for the future and purchase camporese and some decent fullbacks. then we can talk..

 

That would be my plan aswell. Building for the future. Unless the player is the right one, I hope we don't follow the recent past policy of buying rejects from big clubs who are getting old and in the most not good enough to win titles. (of course i realise there are very reasonable exceptions and getting the right ones is so handy as they often come cheaper than normal, but they must also be fit in with a younger squad)

 

Corriere dello Sport:
Menez alla Juve, Buffon alla Roma: tutta la verità

La Juve cerca un esterno che cambi la partita: Jeremy. Martedì sera a vedere la Francia a Parigi c’era uno 007 bianconero. L’ostacolo: la Roma vuole almeno 20 milioni. La Juve potrebbe sacrificare Buffon visto che il portiere della Nazionale è il primo obiettivo di DiBenedetto

TORINO, 31 marzo - Forse lo spot di Zinedine Zidane è diventato, in privato, un consiglio. O forse il grande numero dieci ha solo benedetto un’idea già balenata. Certo è che la Juve, nelle ultime settimane, ha intensificato i contatti per Jeremy Menez, 23 anni, trequartista della Roma e della nazionale francese.

 

Bizarre. Would this mean that Doni would finally be let go?

And are at this point just waiting on Mexes to decide? Di Benedetto hasn't said anything of that other French lad, has he?

 

Mercato Roma, Pastore in giallorosso con l'arrivo di Sabatini?


La nuova Roma a 'stelle e strisce' sembra decisa a puntare fortemente su Javier Pastore, fantasista del Palermo. Il calciatore argentino detto "el flaco", in una recente intervista, ha escluso di non lasciare la Sicilia almeno per un'altra stagione. Ora che la Roma sembra aver raggiunto l'accordo per la prossima stagione con Walter Sabatini, ex direttore sportivo dei rosanero, che portò Pastore a Palermo nell'estate del 2009 dall'Huracan, apre nuovi scenari sulla possibile cessione del giocatore ai giallorossi.

AS Roma Mercato: Pastore to Roma with the arrival of Sabatini?


The new Roma seems determined to focus heavily on Javier Pastore, Palermo's playmaker. The Argentine player in a recent interview ruled out to leave Sicily for at least another season. Now that Roma seems to have reached an agreement for next season with Walter Sabatini (former sports director of Palermo) it opens the door for the sale of Pastore to Roma.

 

We are being linked with Santana, His agent spoke.

"It 's not done anything yet because there was no contact. Santana is in Fiorentina , Florence's fine and then we'll see . I have good relations with Roma but so far I have not been contacted by anyone".

 

We are being linked with Santana, His agent spoke.

"so far I have not been contacted by anyone".

and the bullshit storm continues in the press.

 

We are being linked with Erik Lamela.

 

Snore. The rumours are boring. Let's just wait until any interest is confirmed.

 

Day by Day it looks likely we will sign a big game player like Lamela, Pastore.I think thats very intresting to discuss. Day by day it looks more likely we can snatch Buffon from Juventus. Seems Juve want to cash on Buffon, and Make Storari number one. Day by day it seems likely Menez will leave us.

 

Sandro from Tottenham linked as well.

 

day by day it seems that all of your conclusions are based on baseless rumors, which in turn make your conclusions baseless. the point is, day by day or not, there's nothing to be excited about until a clear quote from someone that matters indicates something to be excited about.

don't mean to kill your buzz man but there's nothing yet.

 

Well, the thread is about rumours . And since this names are being heavily linked with us right now, I AM going to post about them. There is nothing wrong to discuss about it. Go to the other boards, there are discussiong going whether Buffon would be good or not or realistics.

What do you want inactive forum ???
