    2022/2023 Defenders Rumours Thread

    Pushing Škriniar out and losing Bremer to Cairo's extortionist demands, while one wants to stay and the other wants to sign, would be difficult enough to digest. Ending up with Acerbi would be a nightmare. When Acerbi was leaving Sassuolo, the club (justly) rejected him for De Vrij when he was...

    2022/2023 Forwards Rumours Thread

    I think the question on everyone's minds is whether Bayern is the perfect place for Vignato. 24 appearances, 575 total minutes, 1 assist for Bologna last season. Generational talent numbers right there.

    Alessandro Bastoni

    From Marotta's point of view, it is a Catch-22. We need top 4 to stay financially afloat, so he is trying to achieve that by spending as little as possible, as you said by turning to low-risk older players. Signing younger talent that is unproven on a bigger stage increases sporting and...

    Well, in Leiva you can get a midfielder with Italian origins :)

    Paulo Dybala

    https://www.instagram.com/p/CeG3LHKg9hc/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y= Instagram post supposedly liked by Zanetti on why Dybala has not been signed yet (based on a report from GdS). I don't have an instagram account to check if it's real or not and the original post is in Bosnian, also Zanetti may have...

    Henrikh Mkhitaryan

    It's not hard to see the club's sense behind the move. Low risk, given his solid performances since joining Roma years ago (and a solid shift last season where he would play under Inzaghi, outside of his natural position). Total cost of 12m including wages and transfer fees (excluding any...

    Paulo Dybala

    This club has been linked to Paulo since 2011. Since Haaland and Vlahovic were both 11 years old. Mad...

    José "The Special One" Mourinho

    According to wikipedia, he lost the 2003 UEFA Supercup with Porto, the 2013 UEFA Supercup with Chelsea, the 2017 UEFA Supercup with United, and the 17-18 FA Cup final with United. No doubt though, he is a finals specialist with 5 wins in 5 European finals and silverware at every club he has...

    José "The Special One" Mourinho

    From what I remember he lost the 2013 UEFA Supercup against Bayern in extra-time in his first game back with Chelsea.

    José "The Special One" Mourinho

    "Unbiased punditry" of slating a manager immediately after winning a European final.

    UEFA Conference League 2021/2022

    Since introduced into the side in Jan, Zalewski has 100% been one of Roma's best players, and he hasn't only played 10 games. In fact I don't know if Spinazzola will start for Roma going forward unless José changes Zalewski's position or his tactics altogether.

    UEFA Conference League 2021/2022

    I don't believe you watch Roma consistently, you're just naming the players with the biggest rep in the side minus English players. Zaniolo has performed in the Conference League but has been very frustrating in the league. Abraham, Zalewski, Smalling, Mkhitaryan, and Patricio are Roma's best...

    Andrea Ranocchia

    Ranocchia has endeared himself to the fans - he has been a solid option from the bench for the last couple of years, has always given maximum effort, and never showed a bad attitude (despite having been benched and stripped of the armband). Add the effect of the chaos of the club on his...
