Stop it.We have two strikers that had nearly 40 goals in between them last season and yet Roma have a better frontline ? They dint have single attacker with double figure goal tally just to be clear.

Yeah,i understand they have splashed the cash on Iturbe and all but if we were the ones who had got him,you would be sitting here singing a different tune about how we overpayed for some unproven player.Typical Nick.

Destro had 13 goals in just 14 starts and 6 substitute appearances in the league last year. One of Roma's greatest issues was a lack of depth in attack due to Destro missing the first half of the year due to injury leaving them short up front once Totti missed a few games in a row. Mattia was fantastic in the second half of the season though and if he continues such form it would not surprise me if he ended as the league's top scorer with the service he might expect.

It's still premature to be evaluating who has the best forward line though. It's still unlikely in my view that Shaqiri will arrive. If he did I could see it tipping the balance but it's unlikely that Juventus will themselves sit idly by without signing a threat of their own.

Kalou wants to return to the Premier League, Liverpool and Tottenham apparently monitoring his situation, according to Sky Sports.

Arsenal have had a €30m bid for William Carvalho rejected, according to O Jogo. They apparently wanted to pay it in 2 installments.

Juventus apparently rejected a €22m bid from Monaco for striker Berardi back in June, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Liverpool, AC Milan and Sevilla have all asked Real Madrid about Isco's status, however he wants to stay at Real Madrid, according to AS.

Arsenal are interested in Catania fullback Peruzzi, according to Sky Italia.

Cagliari president confirms they are in negotiation to sell Astori to either Juventus or Lazio, according to Il Messaggero.

Reports of Cristian Ansaldi signing with Atletico Madrid.

Srs Arsenal fans, buy Peruzzi

Signed him on career mode AND called him up when I managed Argentina, unreal full back

I have no idea how Astori is rated so highly in Italy

He's shit I really would not take him for free

According to Ojogo, Arsenal had a 30 mil bid rejected for William Carvalho. Arsenal wanted to pay in 2 instalments but Sporting open to negotiate if it's straight cash

Roma are ready to make offers for Vlaar and Rolando, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Hopefully Vlaar goes away, would guarantee a spot for Okore when he's 100% again.

Pls sell us Isco pls

Need him as a 3rd choice backup.

Stop killing his talent imo

Am I the only one that thinks Isco is a better/or at least equal talent to James? Not knocking James, duds a absolute beast. At Isco's age he should also be starting somewhere; shame he's going to be a back up for years to come

He is. Rodriguez is only being bought due to hype.

Just like next year when the next in form hyped up player will be on our radar.

Lacazette apparently confirms he's staying at Lyon.

Croatian daily sports newspaper Sportske Novosti have just splashed big news on their website: Dejan Lovren’s move from Southampton to Liverpool is imminent.

If he Isco looked impressive last season, he wouldn't have had to worry about his position. Every player knows you have to deliver in Madrid from the first moment, or else you're out. We have booted legend before (for good or bad) when they have started performing subpar. Isco still has a chance though. He played in 53 games last year, which was the most of his career. And will probably get somewhere the same this season as a rotational player. But if he doesn't perform at the level he did at the start of last season, then he could be out next year.

If Astori goes to Juve

#AllegriMovement
#CallingAllBidone

I just gather the right way would be to buy a prospect to start behind Isco, and Isco gets the confidence that he will be the starter. Instead of going out and buying a guy, that essentially was "him", as in the next big thing, the very next season. Allot of guys you got struggled the first season then panned out (remember how crap Modric was at first?). Patience and confidence is what makes a player get better, not pilling on other super stars in his own position. Would be like having Hakeem Olajuwon, then deciding to go out and get Shaq and David Robinson all to rotate with him. How is that gonna make Hakeem feel valued? Also his playing time will be cut down lol.

Anyways, I'm a huge Isco fan and I hope to see him succeed even if it's with you guys. He's an amazing talent.

So Southampton rejected 20M for Lovren two weeks ago, now they have agreed to sell him for 16M ?! Ayre is on fire with his negotiations this year
