Just giving you a hard time . What does inter have against man u?

No idea. I started liking Inter a while back because of Sneijder.

I think the other Inter fans told me that I don't need to cheer for two CL contenders. I promptly told them that it was fine, United would always be my #1 club. Inter's #3, as you probably can tell from my sig.

I'm up in this bitch. This bandwagon is filling up faster than the hornets after they drafted Davis.

Thank God it's Roma and not Lazio. Even for Bradley I wouldn't ride that train.

Roma > Lazio

1. Roma is a much bigger club in Rome than lazio is
2. They sold Zarate last summer and replaced him with the aging klose and cisse who only lasted 5 months. If hernanes goes this summer they have no shot at champions league qualification
3. Lazio is a fascist club. Their ultras are particularly renowned for their fascist beliefs and they have had spats with several players because of this in recent years

Oh don't worry, I don't like them. Those two are two of my all time favorites though, if they teamed up I couldn't cheer against them

It's funny how much timing can influence fandom, I.e. becuse Bradley is being picked up by an American owned club almost anyone from the us who decides to try to get into more football, or the Italian league specifically during this year will end up likely being a Roma fan, whereas if they tried to get into it a few years from now maybe they picked inter because of swagotelli or something.

What is Roma's ideal starting 11, assuming everyone is healthy?

Is Simplicio still playing decent minutes?

With Totti, Simplicio, De Rossi, Perotta, and Gago all playing, I am having trouble seeing where Bradley could get playing time.

It's really up in the air, especially with Zeman coming this year.

Simplicio is a huge fan favorite but he's a lot more club depth at this point. Perotta is about the same. Wants to retire at Roma but really only plays here and there.


Rumor is that Sabatini/Zeman think Gago is a bit less of a fit for the faster paced attacking 4-3-3 Zeman runs than he was for Luis Enrique. He has a huge salary too since it was from Real Madrid. Bradley's signing would probably mean that Roma lets him go. Bradley really replaces Greco who'd go to Chievo and played quite a bit even with Gago on the squad.



If Bradley deal goes through the first choice midfield three would come from these four I would imagine.

De Rossi, Marquinho, Pjanic, Bradley



The attacking three from these:

Borini, Lamela, Bojan, Osvaldo, Totti

(Roma is trying very hard to sign Mattia Destro from Siena)




The huge question mark is in the back line and probably where most of the transfer budget goes. Right now CBs are Burdisso, Kjaer, Juan and Heinze. I wouldn't be surprised if 1 or 2 bigger money players are bought and there's big movement here this summer.



Bradley would be brought in to play no question. Zeman's system will mean there's a lot of depth being used anyway.

However, the danger Bradley may have in the near future would be that Roma is loaded with midfield talent that's close to being big club ready like Viviani (loan probable this year but really a player in De Rossi mold) and some highly rated attacking MFs in Verre, Florenzi, Pisciatella and Bertolacci.

Don't Serie A broadcasting rights switch over to Al-Jazeera Sports or whatever next year?
