L'Imperatore of Roma? Sunday 7 January, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A remarkable transfer rumour has emerged claiming Adriano could join Roma this summer if they qualify for the Champions League.

“If we qualify directly for the Champions League next season, then we will have around £10m to spend,” commented patron Rosella Sensi.


The Giallorossi have constructed a successful squad on the basis of loans, youth products and one big name signing per summer – which this term was David Pizarro from Inter.


According to the ‘Corriere dello Sport’ newspaper, they will be doing business with the Nerazzurri again next season.


In an outlandish rumour, it’s said that Luciano Spalletti has requested Adriano and that Inter would be willing to release him to their direct rivals for the Scudetto.


It’s even suggested that L’Imperatore was already offered to the Capital club only a few weeks ago and that Roma rejected this extra expense, preferring to plump for Francesco Tavano on loan from Valencia.


These are different players, though, and Adriano would be the big strong centre-forward that Spalletti’s squad lacks to give him more tactical alternatives.


Should the Brazilian have still not found his best form by the summer and Roma have the bonus money from European competition, it’s a story we may see resurface again in six months’ time.

Adriano wouldn't fit here.

Also this tranfer is not even possible. We would have to spend a lot of cash on his wage and transfer of course. Obviously it doesn't be said that he'll not party all the time just concentrated on playing football.

Wilhelmsson wings into Roma
uefa.com

AS Roma have signed Swedish international Christian Wilhelmsson on loan from FC Nantes Atlantique until the end of the season with an option to complete a €3m permanent transfer in the summer.

Contract offer
The 27-year-old midfielder, who would sign a contract until 2011 in the event of a permanent deal, flew into Rome today to undergo a medical. Roma coach Luciano Spalletti said of the new arrival: "Wilhelmsson can cover all three attacking midfield roles behind a lone forward."

Eligible for Europe
Capped 38 times by Sweden, Wilhelmsson only joined Nantes last summer from Belgian side RSC Anderlecht. The former Stabæk IF and Mjällby AIF player will be eligible to play in Roma’s UEFA Champions League campaign, where they face Olympique Lyonnais in the first knockout round next month

Roma complete Wilhelmsson swoop Tuesday 9 January, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roma have completed the signing of Nantes star Christian Wilhelmsson, while Manchester United target Salvatore Foti joins Vicenza.

It was already in the air today, but this evening the Giallorossi released an official announcement confirming 27-year-old Wilhelmsson’s loan.

“A.S. Roma have the option to buy out the player for 2007-08 with a deadline of May 1, 2007.

“The price has been set at £2m, to be paid over two instalments before July 1, 2007 and January 3, 2008.”

The statement also pointed out that Wilhelmsson, who underwent a medical at the Trigoria training ground today, has signed a contract worth £180,000 until the end of the term.

If he makes the move permanent, the midfielder will receive wages of £1.2m for each year of a four-season deal.

He is Roma’s second reinforcement of the January window after Francesco Tavano arrived on loan from Valencia.

In other transfer news, Sampdoria have loaned promising teenage hitman Foti to Serie B strugglers Vicenza.

Foti had impressed in his few matches last season and had been linked with a move to Manchester United or Arsenal.

However, he hadn’t made a single Serie A appearance in the current campaign and hopes to find more space at the Stadio Romeo Menti.

Sampdoria will face Chievo in the Coppa Italia tomorrow afternoon, but will probably be without Francesco Flachi, who suffered from a left thigh twinge during training.

Yeah, that's an official announcement.

According to Il Romanista, Tavano will play in this match but he will not be starting, he will instead come off the bench.

Here it is, according to them, the starting line-up for the match:

ROMA vs PARMA - COPPA ITALIA

Goals

Mancini Goal - Half 1
Totti Goal - Half 2

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Damn, I fell asleep at the beginning of the second half.:sleep: Now I finished watching retransmission of the second part.:mexican:

Well, that last goal scored by Parma changes everything. From a comfortable 2-0 home win to take into the second-leg you would think that the tie is pretty much save and so we would be able to perhaps rest a few players for the return-leg. Now, 2-1 is a decent result for Parma, and of course they would only need one goal to possibly win.

Wilhelmsson’s Totti thrill Thursday 11 January, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roma new boy Christian Wilhelmsson is delighted to be playing in the capital and cannot wait to line up alongside Francesco Totti.

The Swedish midfielder arrived on loan from Nantes this week, agreeing to a four-year contract should the Giallorossi make the move permanent at the end of this season.

“Totti is a great player, he has great qualities to offer to Italy and Roma – it will be great to play with him,” said the new No 4.

“He is a fantastic player, but there are also other great footballers on this team. Also, the supporters here are very passionate, I can’t wait to meet them and I want them to know that we will have fun.”

The international played 13 times in Ligue 1 this term and reportedly turned down a move to Middlesbrough in favour of the Roma switch.

“I chose this club because they are fighting for the title and the Champions League. I am pleased with this transfer and I can’t wait to start training and playing.

“Roma are a great club and I am sure I can do well here. This is an excellent opportunity for me to show my true value and potential. I hope I will be useful for the team,” concluded the Swede.

Totti-Mancini row 'resolved' Saturday 13 January, 2007

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Roma chief Rosella Sensi has admitted there was a row between Francesco Totti and Amantino Mancini, but insists it’s over now.

Newspaper reports yesterday suggested that the bitter rift in the squad would push the Brazilian towards Inter in the summer.


“There was a misunderstanding between Totti and Mancini, but it only lasted for a day,” assured Sensi when asked about the situation.


“There is no problem here, so what was written was purely an interpretation of events.”


It became clear something was amiss when the two players refused to celebrate with each other after scoring goals in the 2-1 Coppa Italia victory over Parma on Wednesday evening.


Sensi – the daughter of President Franco Sensi and the de facto chief now that he is in ill health – looked ahead to the rest of the season with optimism as well.


“I am very satisfied, because the whole team is giving 100 per cent. We must continue to take it one game at a time and do our best in every occasion.”

VIRGA Valerio
WILHELMSSON Christian

Perrotta is suffering a little innjury so it's not sure he'll be in the starting 11; Wilhelmsson could play from the beginning; Pizarro too got little troubles, hope all ok, we are without Mexes suspended for this match, so Matteo Ferrari will play in central defence, I think this could be the starting 11:

DONI

PANUCCI-FERRARI-CHIVU-TONETTO

PIZARRO-DE ROSSI

TADDEI-PERROTTA-MANCINI

I'm so dissapointed with Tavano's latest injury. We have to wait on his debut yet. I hope he won't be as much injured as Vucinic. nape:

Roma eye Placente for left-back role

After signing Tavano and Wilhelmsson, Roma are now looking for a left-back to complete their January signings. Reggina are apparently asking too much for Modesto, which means the giallorossi may once again look abroad.

According to today’s AS newspaper, Roma have their eyes on Diego Placente, the former Bayer Leverkusen player, now at Celta Vigo; alternatives include Toulouse’s Mathieu, Tottenham’s Lee Young Pyo and Stuttgart’s Magnin.

Messina - Roma

Stadio San Filippo

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Messina and Roma will both be desperate for the win when they come face to face in Sicily. The capital giants know they need all the points they can get if they are to keep pace with Inter at the top, while the hosts need to stop their slide down the table before it is too late.

The Sicilian fans’ heads must still be spinning after the way their team went into the winter break. After an excellent start to the season, which saw them occupying a European place for some time, the rot seemed to set in and they have dropped like a stone down the Serie A rankings.

Just a month ago Messina would have thought of the relegation battle as a distant fight at the other end of the table, but now they find themselves just three points away from the drop zone. Add in third from bottom Reggina’s impressive record this season and they could find themselves in big trouble if they can’t turn things around soon.

Of course a large factor in Messina’s slide was the injury to top scorer and surprise Capocannoniere candidate Christian Rigano. It will please many people in Sicily then to hear that Rigano is expected to return to the starting line-up against Roma after recovering from his injury.

There is more cause for optimism as well with new signing Manolo Pestrin likely to start in central midfield, while his fellow January arrival Andrea Giallombardo will probably have to be content with a place on the bench for the time being. Also, Marco Zoro misses out through suspension after his sending off in the 4-0 defeat to Fiorentina before Christmas and Mathew Olorunleke is still to recover from his lengthy injury.

Roma Coach Luciano Spalletti has a little more on his plate, but still has plenty of options available. Summer signings Gilberto Martinez and Mirko Vucinic are both still out after going under the knife in an effort to cure their persistent injuries, while Marco Cassetti and Alberto Aquilani join them in the treatment room. Philippe Mexes will also miss this tie due to his suspension.

Despite those absences though, new-boy Francesco Tavano is still unlikely to make the starting line-up following his loan move from Valencia. The forward is expected to start on the bench as Spalletti looks likely to stick with his tried and trusted attacking four of Francesco Totti, Amantino Mancini, Rodrigo Taddei and Simone Perrotta, while Matteo Ferrari will probably replace Mexes in defence.

Apart from the much talked about 3-0 defeat in the Rome derby, the Giallorossi have been on fine form. In fact if it were not for that one spot on their record they would be going for their 11th consecutive victory against Messina. As it is they won all three matches after the derby comfortably, scoring eight goals with just one in reply. With seven points to catch on Inter they are unlikely to take their foot of the gas in this fixture.

Man on fire: Amantino Mancini (Roma) – The silky winger was fundamental in Roma’s bounce back from the derby defeat, scoring four goals in the last three games before Christmas and dazzling the opposition defences.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cristian Chivu's foolish late tackle handed Messina a penalty and left Roma nine points adrift of leaders Inter.

The Capital club needed a victory here to stay within seven points of runaway leaders Inter, but were without Philippe Mexes, Mirko Vucinic , Alberto Aquilani and new signing Francesco Tavano. Messina plummeted down the standings since Christian Rigano's injury and Marco Zoro was also suspended, but gave debuts to new arrivals Giallombardo and Pestrin.

Roma famously lost here 4-3 in September 2004 and were struggling early on against a solid and aggressive midfield.

Simone Perrotta had a shot charged down and Daniele De Rossi's drive from the edge of the box was smothered. Messina lost new signing Giallombardo with a knee injury.

Francesco Totti combined with Amantino Mancini, the Brazilian's finish parried from point-blank range.

Roma finally broke through just before half-time on the counter-attack. Rodrigo Taddei and Totti exchanged first-time passes for Mancini to place a low drive into the net. As assured after this week's controversy over their bitter feud, Mancini and Totti celebrated together.

Messina were furious, as Lavecchia was on the ground at the other end of the field, and a group of fans broke down the plexiglas separating the stands from the pitch. A few figures ran on to the field and others painted graffiti on the wall urging President Pietro Franza to sell the club.

When play finally resumed, Taddei won back the ball and his cross-shot was captured by an attentive Marco Storari.

Yet Messina nearly equalised during the seven minutes of first half stoppages. Roma gave away an avoidable corner kick and Alexander Doni pushed a Lavecchia header out from the top corner, with Perrotta needing a crucial clearance at the back post as the move continued.

Messina boss Bruno Giordano chose to make a tactical switch, replacing substitute Nicolas Cordova with striker Arturo Di Napoli, while Lavecchia limped off.

There were Sicilian penalty appeals for a Mancini handling offence, but the Brazilian had his arm across his chest and so it could not be considered an intentional foul.

De Rossi and David Pizarro picked up yellow cards and will be suspended next week against Livorno.

Roma were inconsistent, but showed flashes of brilliance, as another quick team move ended with a scuffed Totti drive from the edge of the area thumping the base of the post.

A Totti free kick was pushed away by Storari at full stretch, but there was controversy when Matteo Ferrari appeared to pull back Sergio Floccari by his shirt in the penalty area.

Christian Wilhelmsson made his Serie A debut in place of Taddei in the final 10 minutes. Mancini should've put the result beyond doubt, but his angled drive was too close to the goalkeeper.

It looked as if Roma were cruising towards victory when, in the final minute, Cristian Chivu foolishly clattered into Di Napoli when they were practically on the by-line. The Giallorossi were furious, as they claimed there was an earlier foul on Pizarro. Alessandro Parisi took a stuttering run-up and converted to draw Messina level.

Parisi still managed to blot his performance with a red card for his clumsy late tackle on Wilhelmsson. In the sixth minute of stoppages, Storari dived to the ground to fingertip Marco Cassetti's snapshot on to the upright.

Pretty stupid loss of points. We only have ourselves to blame for this.

Watched the game, you needed the killer instinct but instead players like Totti and Wilhelmsson tried to find the Euro goal.

Anyway it's Inter's year, next game vs Fiorentina Ujfalusi and Mutu are out b/c they got a yellow today.

Good point Mark but it's not so easy. Vucinic when he came to Roma used to been a center forward which scores lots of goals. But he plays **** all the time. Tavano got not dangerous injury but can't play yet. There's only Totti which stayed but he feels better when he plays behind the striker.(:/)

Mancini 1:0
