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

#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.

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.

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 exp Might 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...

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.

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