Topic: 17.5million Euros for Osvaldo, to Roma

He's a really good striker, but i think a price closer to 10-12 million euros would have been fair.

can't find an english link yet, will edit and post asap

means Borriello is on his way out, i'd have him here i don't think he's going to be too expensive

Argentina striker Pablo Osvaldo has completed his move to Roma from Espanyol.

Osvaldo underwent a medical on Thursday in the Italian capital before signing a four-year contract with the Giallorossi.

Osvaldo joins the Serie A outfit in a reported €18 million (£15.9million) transfer deal from Espanyol.

''I am very happy to be here,'' said Osvaldo. ''I have chosen Roma because it is a great club. For me it is an honour to play alongside (Roma captain Francesco) Totti.''

Osvaldo has plenty of experience in Serie A having played for Atalanta, Fiorentina, Lecce and Bologna before joining Espanyol in 2010. He scored 20 goals in 44 appearances for the Barcelona club.

Great signing

Put money on him to be top scorer in La Liga aswell when I thought he was Atletico bound so will get that back and stick it on him in Serie A.

Can stink a match out for 90 minutes too though can't he, a back up if N'gog goes - wouldn't like to see him starting every week i don't think

Roma are building a good side. Serie A's going to be a lot of fun this year, I feel.
