Theres also talk of Romas setup being a problem with all the injuries they have.

Yeah, I read on another site that there was a feeling the coaches were just running the players into the ground, as when they signed someone they all seemed to gain injury-problems

Great news just hope his injury problems are behind him. Welcome Alberto!

Do you remember his agent a short while back saying something like, "Alonso to Liverpool? Let's not talk about silly things"?

did his agent really say that?!

Great! Relieved that we don't get Poulsen (maybe rafa still wants him, what do I know?) as a replacement for Xabi.. And hopefully some more money to spend on another quality signing..

Welcome Alberto!

Are you fishing? Fuck bloody politics mate, we are trying to win the league

No I'm not fishing. I will find it particularly hard to support a player who allegedly refers to Mussolini as Uncle and owns busts of Il Duce. I wonder if Yossi is aware of our new signings political beliefs? It could cause disruption in the future within the squad, or with the press. Not to mention the fact that the fella seems to be a complete fucking crock.

Not afraid to say his piece either. Wonder if he will try that with Carra

Well, he certainly won't try it with Stevie.

Gerrard is HUGE in Italy. I think there was a survey conducted among Inter supporters a few seasons ago in which Stevie came out top, by some way, as to the one player the Interistas would get if they could sign anyone. He's Daniele de Rossi's favorite player and Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo's (

), too.

Nah, he's more likely to Arbeloa all over Stevie than get in his face.

Was expecting us to get a deal done by the end of the week.

Haven't seen much of him so not hugely excited yet, but I can't wait to see how he fits in.

Lads, help an auld one out here.

What's that website for translating? I've found one, but buggered if I can get it to work. Saw this from TuttoSport which mentions Rafa:

Quote

Oggi COME Roma hanno annunciato la vendita del ragazzo Alberto Aquilani di luogo natio a Liverpool FC dell'Inghilterra. Il responsabile Luciano Spaletti di Roma era nell'umore positivo e felice mentre ha augurato ad Alberto il suo figlio domestico bene.

" Noi tutti, io stesso e la sue squadra, desiderio Alberto bene nel suo nuovo randello Liverpool. Ammetto che sono stato scosso quando Rafael Benitez se lo è messo in contatto con e che ho detto chi il suo interesse era in."

" Ciò è un grande movimento per Alberto ma durante 3 o 4 anni può trasformarsi in che cosa bisogno di Liverpool. Spero che la pressione ora nel presente non sia troppa per lui. È un giocatore e un uomo che deve ritenere l'amore e calmare per effettuare."

È detto che Liverpool ha gli euro pagati 24mio ma commento rifiutato Luciano.

" Non parlerò i numeri. Quello non è rispetto. Dirò che è sopra 20mio e sotto 30mio. Nient'altro".

Don't think it's a panic buy at all. Rafa's too canny to have not done his homework. He knew Xabi wanted to leave in May so he's had plenty of time to way up his options.

"We all, myself and his team desire Alberto well in his new club Liverpool. I admit that I was shocked when Rafael Benitez if he got in touch with and I've said about his interest was."

"This is a great movement for Alberto but during 3 or 4 years can turn into what Liverpool need. I hope that the pressure in these hours is not too much for him. It is a player and a man who must feel the love and calm to perform. "

It is said that Liverpool has the euro paid 24mio Luciano but declined comment.

"Do not talk about the numbers. That's not respect. I will say is that 20mio above and below 30mio. Nothing more."

Rafa has clearly demonstrated that he does not know what he is doing as a football manager.
