Giovanni Simeone could be a very good player. He's already on 9 goals for Genoa this season now. Haven't seen him play so don't know what kind of player he is but he's doing well in a pretty mediocre team.

i don't mind getting him, he works hard for a forward too just like his dad. Plus we can make him manager nce he retires

[ggcc14]

nice to see Gabigol get a goal.. i've seen us linked a few times, not quite as good as Jesus at City but not far behind.

Sturridge out and Gabigol and Solanke in would be a tremendous summer.

Inter in sensational form at the moment, think they still have some work to do for finishing inside the top 3 but even if they don't I can see them being title contenders next season as they will invest heavily to improve their squad in the Summer.

[kaiser franz]

Zeman on bench and Pescara score 5,got to love Zeman.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Juve will end up winning another five or six titles straight.

Roma up 2-0, Dzeko scores another, his 26th goal of the season [18th in the league]

[Adz LFC]

I've seen a few on here rave about that Leandro Paredes and he scored an absolute belter earlier

I prefer Nainggolan much more,he is fantastic player,whoever of Englich clubs sign him next summer gonna hit jackpot,unfortunately think its gonna be Chelsa.

Paredes is 22 the exact same applies to him if a team does chose to come in for him.

Hopefully it's not Chelsea, he seems to be playing much further this year. Would suit us well

[ggcc14]

Bottom of the table Pescara won 5-0 today, weird.

Zeman factor There is no other word in his playbook beside attack,attack and then more attack

He's 29 in a few months.

He's a good player but there's got to be doubts about any player that age coming into the pace of the Premier League. Particularly a midfielder.

I'd say you judge a player on his individual merits rather than a ballpark analysis, he seems to be better than ever right now.

[kaiser franz]

Roma have really good team and very good manager in Spalleti,but unfortunately they are still prone to occasional brain farts and Juve is consistent machine so tough luck for them in league.I would really like for them to win Europa league.

[ggcc14]

Chiesa and Hagi.. I feel old.

[Souness1]

Two excellent goals from nainggolan against Inter. Really good side, Roma.

THey're pretenders, always have been.

Can't argue with that but they have some very watchable players and a good manager. Think they will win Europa.

They're the Spurs of Italy. In other words they'll do nothing.

[Greatness]

They're the Spurs of Italy. In other words they'll do nothing.

Can't call them the Spurs of Italy when they have won a league title in the last 20 years and have also won Italian cups in that time.

Spurs are more comparable to Leverkusen.

It's unrealistic to think about them winning the league because of the difference in finances between Roma and Juve, the only team that has a chance of stopping this Juventus domination is Inter because of the wealthy owners they have and the fact that Simeone is likely to be their next manager.

Great goals from Nainggolan.. He's the player I'd love us to go for this summer.. Tenacious yet a great footballer.

Think Roma are the mancs main rivals in Europe this year but unfortunately it's hard to see past them.

He does seem perfect for us to be fair but I think he will go to a more established champions league club. He would cost a bomb as well, surely.

[kaiser franz]

Roma is more then capable to stop United in Euro league,Strootman,Naingoolan,De rossi,Paredes in midfield and Salah,Dzeko in attack is quality team who actually play great,fluent attacking football this season.But its hard against Juve in league,they are such a consistent machine.Roma main problem historically is that mentality to fuck up when it means the most,they always 2nd.Dont know for sure but they probably hold record in 2nd places in Serie A.

I've wanted him since his Cagliari days

I can see Chelsea going back in for him this year and getting him. Conte's new Vidal.

Yeah I can see that as well. A Kante, Nainggolan midfield would be insane.

[ElCapo]

I've never been convinced by Nianggolan for some reason.  Seems to fade when the pressure is on.

[ggcc14]

Bellotti has missed two pens in his last two games now. Bagged a brace to salvage a draw away to Fiorentina tonight.

Twice in the space of five days have Fiorentina squandered a two goal advantage..

I'm on him top scorer so it's very frustrating to see him missing penalties.. Pretty sure he missed two in August/September too.. Very good striker but quite obviously not a good penalty taker.

Think he's joint top with Dzeko on 19.  Only 23 as well. Big future this kid.

I could name a host of great goalscorers who aren't brilliant at taking pens. Messi, Diego Costa, Suarez to name a few.

The best penalty kick takers are usually midfielders.

Napoli are leading 1-0 against Juventus in Coppa Italia.

1-1 Dybala with the penalty

[eyescream]

2-1
Oh Reina, it's like watching Mignolet...

EDIT: Penalty for Juve and 3-1

[b_joseph]

Pepe got the ball on the 2nd penalty...but, Juve and the J stadium.

Dybala is phenomenal, such a joy watching him play.

Donnarumma Waiting To Hear Plans Of Milan's Owners Before New Deal

Gianluigi Donnarumma won't commit his future to AC Milan until he knows the plans of the club's new owners.

Donnarumma turned 18 on Saturday and is now able to sign his first full professional contract.

Donnarumma had been on youth terms.

"I know a lot of things, but it's difficult to predict the future. Nobody knows it," agent Mino Raiola said. "We have a pact that we are going to leave him be. In fact, we're not going to talk about it at all -- we have agreed this.

"I've not spoken to anybody from the new Milan yet. For me, Milan are still represented by [general manager Adriano] Galliani, so I don't have any contact in the new Milan. The lad is just concentrating on doing his job and I am doing mine.

"This is a clear division of roles and I am the one looking at his future and the possibilities, and then it is the player who takes the final decision. But first I think it is my duty to see what Milan are going to become.

"That is the most important question and you are not asking it because you are focusing only on his contract renewal and not what Milan are going to become. Nobody can tell you, not least I. Until I see the new owners and start to talk with them, I cannot get a clear picture in my mind."

This is about his 4th or 5th different pseudonym on here. Usually gets himself banned spouting utter bollocks or by posting trolling nonsense.
See his custom title for example.

Yeah I noticed, he's the same bloke that used to have Griezman as his avatar along with some other non Liverpool players, and based on what he posts and where he posts, you are right it's the same bloke.

I've had De Bruyne for years from when he was at Wolfsburg. I've never bothered to change it.
