Arrivederci, Amantino

Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino Mancini
Mancinigate turned into “Hey, that wasn’t so bad”. Apparently Inter have saved all of their drama for the Lampard pursuit.
The final details aren’t known because the deal won’t become official until Mancini returns from vaca early next week, but it appears right now the fee is somewhere between 13m-15m and Mancini will sign damn near the same contract with Inter as he could have with Roma. Says something, doesn’t it? And now Inter gets a pouty, lazy, depressed and wildly inconsistent Brazilian backup for a sum Roma will turn into their final piece of the puzzle. Suckers.
Absolutely no animosity whatsoever with this move, and am glad for all of his services these years - whenever he felt like it. There were some good times, but the relationship had simply run its course. And I wish him to good fortune to play for Inter as he played for Roma this season and to regain his true form once he leaves Inter in a couple years.
More later. The good times after the jump.

Milan could reaaally use Storari. I don’t understand their transfer strategies. They need a couple defenders after losing 2 full backs and Maldini being older than dirt. They got Zambrotta but they need a CB and a quality keeper. I don’t rate Bonera that highly and I don’t think he’s enough to compete for the scudetto.
A striker might help them but it’s not a priority. They have Inzaghi, Boriello, Paloschi and Pato. The only reason they would need a striker is if one or two of those was going away this season.

Have the Viola strengthened their defense yet? Ujfalusi has left and I reckon that is a huge loss.

Gabs, they did sign Vargas.

Vargas is there for offense/counters.
They wanted Ferrari, but now he wants Bologna?
Big step down if you ask me.
No offense Ben.

By the way the supercoppa in 2005 in Giants Stadium did not have 70,000 plus attendants it was 35,000+ and Giants stadium has like an 85,000+ seating

i guess we can write mutu off our list. he renewed with viola till 2012
Posted from

woops i meant 2003 and there was 50,000+

Mutu resigned? What’s the source? I guess that narrows down the options. It will be Baptista and Pavlyuchenko/Crespo/Saviola.

11.07 17:32 - OFFICIAL, FIORENTINA, Mutu renews
Adrian Mutu renews until 2012. “Mutu has never slightest thought to leave Florence - words by Alessandro Moggi - he will remain here at 100% and lengthen his contract.” Until 2012, with a sensible plus at the wage, 150.000 euro net per year, impression confirmed after the meeting yesterday evening in Milan between Moggi jr. and Pantaleo Corvino.

alessio, this comment really made my day:
“I don’t know how anyone could say Borriello is underrated. Overrated if anything. The fact Milan is considering dumping him does not speak highly. This is a big year for Roma, do you want someone without-
1- big team experience
2- uefa cup/CL/intertoto exp
3- international expMight as well sign Amoruso!”
Or Amauri.
Marco’s career seems to be a bit reminiscent of Amauri’s at his age, although Amauri has never scored 19…

Good, im glad Mutu is not an option

Love to help anytime, Chris.
Two things- #1- Amauri is our 3rd, or possibly 4th string striker. And we play with 2 strikers, unlike you crazies.
#2- Ask any Milanista who they’d rather have. Borriello may have banged them in and that goal against Udinese was top-drawer, but I think Amauri’s goals were more quality than Marco.
Posted from
United States -
#1 - Roma plays with one, right? So this is for a time to switch things up or for a backup to that Totti guy, who’s decent. So…bout the same as Amauri.
#2 - You’d have to compare Amauri’s season at 25 to make it relevant. Not nearly as cut and dried as you may think (11 goals for Chievo).
And I’m guessing you didn’t see many of Borriello’s goals last year. Check the next post.

Chris, don’t be hateful because Roma couldn’t even sniff Amauri… Roma will be on the decline this year
