Roma lost two of their star players Chivu and Mancini in the last two seasons and there are speculations that Mexes will join Milan in January.
The Rossoneri are looking for a replacement of Maldini who will retire at the end of the season. The defense is undoubtedly a major concern for Milan‘s board due to repeated injuries of Nesta and Kaladze. Senderos, who is loaned from Arsenal, is also injured and has not make the official debut yet.
The whole transaction will rise around 20m and will include Daniele Bonera or Marek Jankulovski.
The French international is having a bad period and was heavily criticized for his performances for club and country. Despite all this Mexes is a key football player at Roma and a move to Milan would be another blow for Giallorossi.
Roma fought for the title till the very last match past season but now it looks like they are already out of title chances and in danger of losing even a Champions League place. If the situation do not change quickly Roma may become a source of players for the three powers in Serie A.
Both teams had great expectations at the start of the season but the clubs are at the bottom of the table at the moment.
Tottenham and Newcastle invested a lot of money in recent years, hoping to secure a Champions League place.
Of course is too early to tell but at the moment the relegation is more closer than a European place for both of the teams.
Tottenham are facing the worst ever start of the season with only 2 points from 8 matches meanwhile Newcastle have 5 points but one less game.
Sir Bobby Robson hopes that the new owner will appoint Alan Shearer as manager, the only man that could save Newcastle in his vision.
As for the Tottenham manager the situation can’t be worse. A group of supporters have planed a mass protest for Tottenham’s next game against Bolton.
Even Ramos admitted that he is woried about the situation but he still has the chairman and players support. Tottenham poor form might be also the result of selling two of the most most influential players Berbatov and Keane.
If the following matches do not bring any changes is likely to see a dismisall.
This weekend brought in Serie A the top match between Roma and Inter.From the beginning Inter was the favorite team on the paper,and everyone expected Inter to win but nobody could have guessed the proportions of the score.Inter smashed Roma in front of it’s own supporters in a 4-0 victory win securing Serie A top place with a difference of two points in front of second place teams Udinese, Catania and Napoli who won against Juventus .
After just five minutes into the game at the Stadio Olimpico, Zlatan Ibrahimović opened the score after racing on to a long ball and lobbing Doni.He also scored the second goal with a calm finish after Sulley Muntani’s pass. Dejan Stanković increased the lead with a fine half-volley and in similar style Victor Obinna claimed a goal on his first Serie A start for Inter.
After last season Roma was Inter‘s contenders to the title,this year they occupy 14th place and it seems that this year they will be struggling to avoid the relegation.
Fernando Torres is currently one of the worlds most gifted and talented football players.The Spanish striker has proved himself to be an important man, and many times decided the match on his own.After moving from Atletico Madrid ,where he did more than just impress the fans, to Liverpool on 30 mil fee,Fernando proved himself and became one of Liverpool‘s top man, being a decisive factor in the team’s evolution.
He has scored so many times and won so many points for his team at Liverpool that he became irreplaceable.Unfortunately Fernando Torres got injured and we’ll miss the next three important matches, against Wigan Athletic, Athletico Madrid in Champions League, and Chelsea.So the question now is will Liverpool be able to cope with this situation, and how important Torres‘s missing will be for the Liverpool fans?Is Liverpool strong enough without Torres or, is it the kind of team that depends on only one player?
Since Rafa Benitez said that he is very disappointed loosing Torres,it seems that Liverpool fans can worry about the next matches, and start questioning whether the management should consider transferring more world class players rather than having to depend on just one like Torres.
