What killed management was paying 15 million for Pelizzolli or 30 million for Batistuta and only getting 2 good years out of it...although we won the championship so it doesnt matter lol.

the wages shouldnt be a problem as long as we are not giving 3 million a season to 33 yr olds like we did this year.

Totti makes a lot of money but thats because Roma have exclusive image rights to him...he makes Roma a lot of money because of this so its not as absurd amount as people think...apart from what every footballer makes being absurd.

I read about Roma asking about Ricardinho of Santos.
Be nice if we could get him...i think he would do well in Italy, hes not a fast player but hes talented on the ball and has good vision...can also strike free kicks well.

pardon me for my ignorance but who plays on the left for roma?

well since Conti took over..its been Virga and Mancini even though none of them are left footed.

Also Cufre plays LB although hes right footed and naturally a CB.

well if your a winger, you should have the capability to cross with both feet, especially at the level they play at.

Yup, got him for free and he could be a good squad player for the defense.

i was hoping Bovo would come back to replace Dellas, maybe Ferrari is leaving...cause Chivu is not.

i have not see ANY games of him this season.

What is he like 29 ?

I think he didn't play a single game this year. I'm not sure. He had some problems and he's out of shape. He was born in 1976 so yeah, 29. The potential is there.

Kuffour signs Roma deal Thursday 9 June, 2005
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serie A side Roma have confirmed the capture of Bayern Munich defender Samuel Osei Kuffour.

The Ghana international has signed until 2008 after his contract with the German champions expired.

Kuffour, who was also linked with Inter and Juventus, will net £1.4m-a-season – excluding bonuses and image right fees.

"I’ve chosen Roma because I want to enjoy my football," he said after his surprise arrival in Italy last night.

"This is an great club. I turned down more important offers because I want to win things here.

"I’m absolutely delighted that I can now play with champions such as Francesco Totti, Antonio Cassano, Vincenzo Montella and Cristian Chivu."

Kuffour becomes Roma’s second free signing of the summer after the capture of Siena’s Rodrigo Taddei last week.

The stopper will also be joined in Italy by former Bayern teammate Roberto Kovac, who has completed a free move to Juventus.

The signing of Kuffour is now likely to see central defender Matteo Ferrari leave, after a nightmare first campaign at the Stadio Olimpico.

i like this signing, adds some needed depth. its all just a question on how he will re-adapt to the italian game from the the german game.

Kuffour was a good player in Bayern was also a fan favorite. He will be missed He is a nasty CB with alot of Fighting spirit in him. Can be good in Aerial Attacks but speed kills him. But age wise its good to use him as for depth. He also played as a RB he did ok-maybe good. His crosses thou were bad he was good at running to attack and passing on the ground. Good leader too, maybe he will calm down Totti, Mexes, and maybe Cassano.

decent signing IMO.

not the best player to get, but:

1.free
2.wage is kinda high, but that's what roma's been doing lately
3.good backup, will add toughness to our defence
4.experienced, we'll have someone over the age of 20 on our bench

Forza Suarez! (ps brotha can you spare a dime?)
Rumour has it the reason Kuffour joined Roma was because Crapattoni might be the new coach (H)
