Great stuff. We have some time too until our first game, which isnt that hard. Our first real test will be Inter.

not much excited on gago,osvaldo and borini but Miralem Pjanic woaaahhhhhhhh sabatini just roped in a world class player.. very happy

a mixed feelings on borriello's situation, he stays... thus proving he wants to play for us but i dont feel we can give him much play time Sad

simon kjaer Smile

+1

P.S.-- DI CANIO SCUFFLES WITH HIS OWN PLAYER AFTER LOSING A CARLING CUP MATCH....

I dunno about Pjanic, havent seen him enough so I cant comment at the moment.Borini, why?Boriello didnt leave, we could have given some playing time to Okaka.

Im pleased with Sabatini's work..

Sabatini has done a a great job for us this summer.The only transfer that I am a bit concerned about is Osvaldo mainly because the way he played when he was in Serie a (Fiorentina) (Bologna) and the price is a bit to much for a player who just had one good season ....

Gago is a strange one..The guy has struggled big time with injuries and fitness but maybe LE can whip him into shape...Lets hope he turns out like Cambiasso... Wink

Stekelenburg,Angel,Lamela,Pjanic.Bojan and Kjaer are all excellent signings all we have to do now is integrate them into the team and we're away..

I'm happy with the signings we completed today. I wish we could have shored up our backline a bit more though...

I like the Borini transfer... I'm happy Borriello stayed, I think he plays a role this year.

I'm curious to see how Enrique sets up, and allocates playing time. We have turned over a good portion of last years team...

some fun facts:

- Borini never played any top flight football except 10 games for Swansea in Championship
- He's valued higher than Giovinco Shocked

.
- As Parma fan, I'm unhappy but at the same time no one could pass up that deal. 2 months of pre season with the team = 2nd highest valued player in the team. Roma must really see something in him.
- He's ambitious young man who does not want to be 3rd choice behind Crespo and Pelle then what kind of chance does he have with Roma?

I think he will be back at Parma come next season.

I would have expected to buy him permanently and then loan him out. Now, he's sadly 6th-7th choice. He'll get a few chances, but he better take them.
