Everyone knows i love Aquilani and those that know me from way back will know ive always been a huge huge fan.
I cant wait to see him playing for us, i genuinely dont think ive ever been happier about a signing (That said my history of joyous signings are patchy Babbel and Torres ACE, Morientes and Kewell ERM....) I hope he can stay fit, if he does i dont doubt he'll make you all proud. Hes a fucking gem.
FORZA ALBERTO!

you were fucking chevved with keane as well.
 
Im delighted with the signing. I have looked up plenty of opinions about him and like what I hear.

I hope you're right Oncey. I can't remember much about him other than a few Gerrard esque strikes, so it's just a case of fingers crossed.

Any chance of another signing now? Another attacker would be nice.

A lot of pressure on you Oncy. Your scouting reputation is on the line here. Hopefully Alberto doesn't let you down.

Can anyone clear up the current status of his fitness? I heard that he had ankle surgery in May which presumably means hes still rehabilitating. He'll hardly be ready for the start of the season?

[/quote]Last year everyone slated Riera based on a handful of Citeh games, and i had watched him loads at Espanyol and went out to say he was a really tidy player. I got a bit hammered for it but to be honest feel vindicated. He is a good player in fact on his day he's excellent. I dont see the point in keeping my mouth shut when ive seen a lot of a player that others havnt just for fear of being slammed.
Aquilani is tip top and im happy to go balls out now.
I do hope hes given time to settle and get fully fit.
So happy.
 
I highly doubt we have payed £20 Million, it is prolly £16M with the potential to rise to £20M after add-ons. There's still articles that pop up now saying we payed £26M for Torres when we signed him, some people just love to inflate fees.

[/quote]Yeah because hes a top premiership striker. Not that i have any special affection or owt for him.
 
Hahaha @ Skully on this thread x 5. Especially the Oncy reminder about Keane, I can't believe I forgot about that.

I think so. Thats one of the reasons I'm so excited about this as it means the CM issue is resolved, now we can get on and sort out an attacking player.

The maths suggests there's one more signing to come.
 
If he makes the position his, then we will certainly have more goals from the middle than we have had last season.


He is capable of hitting double digits. Will he stay fit?

He looks eerily like a slim "fat fwank". I hope he can play like fat fwat on the pitch too.
 
If He can stay fit, we've upgraded a Sub for the European champions for a stater for the World Champions, that can only be a good thing, sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeely?

No?

I'm actually dead excited about this, He won't be fully fit till the start of September though?! That's ages away..
 
Can someone do a poll on how many games you think this guy will play this season, based on his record in the last 5 years.

9 goals in 102 games for Roma doesnt lead me to think hes capable of scoring double figures in fairness. Having said that i'm still excited, lets just hope he gets through the medical alright.
 
wheres the 60 games 5 years stat coming from?

According to wiki he's played at least 20 every year..they could well be wrong

That's me told. It did look like he had score a lot more than 9 from those you tube compilations. I didnt realize it was filled with all the goals he had ever scored.
 
I was liking the look of Defour...

I just hope this lad isn't always on the medical table....

No cover until September now?

Bit of a risky move by Rafa
 
just realised we've pretty much swapped alonso and arbeloa for johnson and aquilani. we even had to pay a few mill extra.

That makes me feel uncomfortable.

Not as uncomfortable as your avatar does though, which prob makes me a homophobe, but I dont care.
