Nothing special but a step up from jones

You've never EVER seen him play have you Zlatan, be honest.

And how can he definitively be a step up from Jones when Jones hasnt played...
 
But is he a step up from any of the other keepers who are already here and we already pay wages to?

I actually have seen him play (not much though) a few years ago when he was good and 1st choice at Roma with Curci as his number 2

4) He followed a path well-trodden by South American players when he came to Europe in 2005 bound for Serie A, joining Roma for a small fee of less than $20,000.

5) After a year playing understudy to Italian stopper Gianluca Curci he usurped the youngster in his second season at the club to become first choice and one of the most in-form keepers in the country.

8) If Doni does sign for Liverpool, he could provide the focal point for some top terrace 'banter' when the Reds take on rivals Manchester United next season - the Brazilian was the hapless net custodian when Roma shipped seven goals at Old Trafford in a Champions League quarter-final in 2007.

Fee is apperantly 1 mill £. Thats not bad.

Part of me wonders why the fuck we pay for reserve keepers. Put the kids on the bench, and hope that Pepe stays fit.

If he doesn't, then it's the only position we can replacements outside the transfer window. Save ourselves a few million a year and only get a second choice on emergency loan, got to be at least as good as Arphexad, Jones, Cav....

Agreed. Especially when we're not in Europe this year. Play Reina in the Cup competitions as well and save our money now matter how low the fee.

Cavalieri settled down and produced some decent displays as time went on. I was quite sorry he left.
 
Is a keeper we pick up for 1 million really going to be much better than our current reserve keepers? Although they are inexperienced they have at least trained with our squad for some time and in reality will be rarely needed.
 
The Gazzetta dello Sport suggests the exchange deal with Galatasaray is on the verge of collapse.

It was widely believed that Muslera would join the Turkish club in a straight swap for midfielder Cana.

However, rumours emerging from Turkey claim Lazio wanted Cana plus €2m, a figure that Galatasaray were unwilling to pay.

Instead, the club is turning its focus towards Roma goalkeeper Doni, who is also in negotiations with Liverpool and would be considerably cheaper.

if this club realised 10 years ago that when you manage to sell a shit player, thats it, thats a success your job is done. go home. but nooooooo they somehow contrive to fucking replace the first shit player with an even shitter one. in a few more decades i can only imagine the kind of players your grandchildren will bear witness to
 
Alexander Doni has reportedly turned down an offer to join Liverpool, as the Roma goalkeeper prefers Galatasaray.

The Brazilian had confirmed negotiations with the Anfield side after the two clubs agreed a transfer fee last week.

However, it is rumoured in Italy this afternoon that Doni rejected the move to Liverpool.

He is not happy at playing second fiddle to another goalkeeper in the Premier League.

Instead, Doni is said to be heading for Galatasaray, stepping on the toes of his city rival Nando Muslera.

Lazio shot-stopper Muslera is in advanced talks with Galatasaray, but the move could crumble because of his price-tag.

Doni is a far more affordable €1.5m.

There are reports Alexander Doni has rejected an offer from Liverpool, while Julio Sergio’s agent denies talks with Genoa and Siena.

Roma have confirmed they will bring in a top new goalkeeper over the summer, so must place some of their current players.

Last week the Giallorossi confirmed they had agreed a fee with Liverpool for Brazilian Doni, so he has been in talks over personal terms.

However, according to Sky Sport Italia, the 31-year-old has turned down the €900,000 per season contract, as he currently earns €2.5m at Roma.

He is also of interest to Galatasaray should they fail to secure a deal for Lazio goalkeeper Fernando Muslera.

If true, the wage drop we were expecting him to take was from around €50k to €18.75k. 😱
 
"I have only received an official offer from Liverpool," Doni told Italian newspaper Il Tempo. "But I could not accept those conditions.

"I would have had my salary cut by 60 per cent.

"After signing a five-year contract extension with Roma in 2008 and having given a knee for Roma's cause, I am unwilling to give away money."

Doni joined Roma in 2005 from Brazilian side Juventude and had knee surgery two years ago.

The South American has been an understudy to Julio Sergio in recent seasons, and made 16 league appearances for Roma this term.

I didn't want him anyway. Brazilian goalies are in the main shite. It'd be like NASA employing a Tibetan astronaut.

I agree with that - they've been Brazil's weakest link (with only a few rare exceptions)
 
Yep he is. He came from absolute nowhere to starting for Inter and Brazil and then being regarded as one of the top keepers in the world.
 
So we don't always do wage negotiations by saying, "How much do you want?" and then adding 10%
 
Talksport:

Roma keeper Doni has had a major change of heart and reached an agreement to join Liverpool, according to reports in Italy.
Italian newspaper Il Messagero claims the Brazilian keeper has already agreed terms and is hoping to finalise a move in the next few days.
The two clubs are now agreeing a fee for the experienced keeper with Roma looking for at least £1.5m for the 31-year-old.
The move looked in doubt earlier in the week after Doni turned down the club's first offer saying his salary would have been cut by 60 per cent, but the two parties appear to have reached a compromise.
The arrival of Doni will spark even more speculation surrounding the long-term future of Pepe Reina who has been linked with a move away from Liverpool.
Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish is determined to build a squad that is good enough to challenge for major silverware next season.

Roma goalkeeper Alexander Doni is ready to accept a switch to Liverpool, reports Il Messaggero.

The Brazilian rejected an initial bid from the Premiership club by insisting they had only offered him less than €1m a season – a 60 per cent cut of his current €2.3m annual salary.

Liverpool have seemingly improved their terms though and Doni is willing to consider a revised €1.5m deal.

Roma are trying to sell the South American in an effort to reduce their wage bill and have already agreed terms over a fee with Liverpool.

However, it is being suggested that Doni may ask La Magica for a golden handshake worth €1.5m in order to accept the move.

Doni is contracted to the Giallorossi until 2012, although he claims that there is a clause in his agreement which means he’s actually tied to the outfit until 2013.

Roma currently have goalkeepers Doni, Julio Sergio, Gianluca Cerci and Bogdan Lobont on their books. If all remain they will cost Roma €7.6m in wages over the next 12 months.

Well considering that Gulasci has already left its probably a done deal.
Someone from Roma to keep Aquaman company?

That would be condemning our young reserves to an entire season sitting on the bench watching Pepe. Some of them are quite promising and are much better off on loan or playing for our reserve / youth team where they stand a chance of getting better.

We are much better off with an experienced player that wont improve any more sitting on the bench doing nothing.
