Sao Paolo is asking 25 M for Hernanes, not 15 M.

Last summer we needed about 3-4 new players to step up to the chase for some trophies, this summer we will be needing 7 new players......next summer?

Our 4 last matches, from 25.04 to 16.05, we will play: Palermo, Fio, Genoa and Juve respectively.

Palermo and Juve are big matches now with their recent form, Fio and Genoa are good team. That means the hardest tasks are waiting at the end of the road, other matches are not so hard.

So, believe in Scudetto

No it's 15 now 15 million euro about 20 million $

If anyone is watching Inter against Catania what I just witnessed was is amazing Inter went 1-0 up Catania equalised Muntari came on gave away a free kick got booked in 10 seconds handled the ball in the wall gave away a penalty and got sent off after 1 minute , Mascara despatced the penalty brilliantly a cool cool calm chip. Catania 2 Inter 1 5 minutes left.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS , CATANIA 3 INTER 1 , Its over great for us.

Just saw the highlights of Catania vs. Inter. Man, that Muntari really did not want to play in the game, huh? The way he took himself out of the game in 2 minutes, it's as if Mourinho forced him to play with a broken leg or something.

Sidney Govou and Francois Clerc, a right winger and a CB, both will be free this summer. Are they good signing?

Geo, how do you think about them? IMO, Govou is a nice option.

Govou is a right winger, but Clerc is actually a RB who was used sometimes as a RM and as a RW when there were a lot of injuries. Actually, I don't know what is the initial position of Clerc, I think he was firstly a RM and then a RB because of the injuries of Réveillère.

Anyway, no way we can take these players !!

Govou is the kind of player who does 5 great games in his season, generally in big games, he will also do 5 good games, and will be useless in all other games !!
And I don't like what he did with his club: each end of season, since 3 years now, he says in May that he's going to leave if there are good offers for him, there never was any offer and so he stayed. Each year, it was the same scenario. Another player doing that with his club is Chamakh from Bordeaux, but it's not the debate here ... Oh and I forgot to mention that Govou has become injury-prone.

About Clerc, he would be a "downgrade" (I don't know if this word can be used, it seems logical to me, the contrary of "upgrade") for our defence. He's also injury-prone.
It could be ok if he comes to replace Oddo in the team (between 2nd and 3rd choice for RB) with low wages ...

Thank Geo, so let's Roma take them

I've just think about Rossina. However, Zenit now have Spalletti as head coach, he will not leave easily.

Have to disagree. I think Abate has been very good for a young player playing in a new position at a massive club displacing WC & CL winners.
His crossing is OK and passing is decent.

Let's not forget our midfield doesn't really offer much cover.

I've seen plenty of improvements in Abate and I think he'll settle better next season, esp with Tassotti (one of the best rb of all time) as a coach helping him.

Antonini is way better than the joke that is janku any time.

Janku is a fraud def, weak at crossing and has no positional sense at all. Good riddance this summer.

Dzeko scores 2 today and goes on top of the Bundesliga scoring chart, together with Kiessling and Kuranyi.

26 matches, 14 goals, 8 assists.

40M is still too much, but it could be considered.

So you guys generally agree that this transfer window we should be looking at a full back and of course some youth...? (keeping in mind our CB department will get a boost with Astori coming back)
