Sabatini to decide future of Roma

Under American investor Thomas Di Benedetto, Roma are looking to bring youth in their flanks to build a strong team that can challenge for the trophy.  It is quite evident that young players will be targeted in mercato as Walter Sabatini is being approached by the new owner for the role of sporting director in the capital club. He is expected to join the club by a week’s time.

Walter Sabatini is known for nourishing young unknown players. Best known for bringing in talents like Javier Pastore, Josip Ilicic and Armin Bacinovic, Sabatini might prove to be a master stroke by the American owners.

The only draw back with Sabatini is that he is often regarded to nurture only the youth, not giving importance to veterans that help in bringing valuable experience and form a balanced side. But in case with Roma, it’s the youth that needs the importance. It is due to Sabatini that the €60m rated Pastore is linked again and again with the club.

Abel Hernandez’s agent splashed rumors about the Palermo striker that the capital club was interested in signing him.  The Uruguayan international looked in form this season. He scored a vital goal against Roma that gave Palermo all 3 points in an exciting win. It would look more realistic as soon Walter Sabatini takes his role. The Uruguayan has a contract with Palermo that expires in 2013.

Roma are also linked to the 19 year old Brazilian sensation Neymar. The Santos attacker has been targeted by Barcelona and Chelsea as well. Getting such players in the team will only increase moral and winning chances and would also bring in a winning mentality.

Whatever happens, we can expect to see loads of changes in the team in summer and hope they bring positive results and impacts.

Forza Roma!!

A step closer to the fourth spot

The weekend brought every kind of good news for Roma. Rivals for the 4th spot ended in defeat, while the club itself emerged victorious. Francesco Totti made a come back and was seen in his best shape. Although Roma won by a single goal margin, yet it was enough for them.

Perotta scored the only goal of the match in 4th minute. It was assisted by De Rossi. The coach, Vincenzo Montella stated in an interview before the match that they still believed in the 4th spot. It would be a tremendous success for the newbie in the management world. Mean while the care taking boss has received the vote of confidence from DeRossi and the captain, Francesco Totti. The skipper publicly stated that Montella had the potential to become a great coach if the new owners decide to continue with him as their full time coach.

There were some other important news as well. Javier Pastore, the summer target for the capital club said in an statement that he will be leaving his club if their boss, Delio Rossi is again fired by the owner Mauro Zamparini. The 21 year old Argentinian affirmed loyalty to the boss. Club President Zamparini fired Delio Rossi and then after a month selected him back as the manager.

Roma has been linked with Simon Kjaer as well, who currently plays for German club VFL Wolfsburg as a  center back. He is tipped as a replacement for the injured French defender Philippe Mexes. The French man is set to leave in summer for AC Milan on a free transfer. Kjaer has earlier played for Palermo in Seria A, and things look good as he has experience in the Italian league. He is also pretty young aged 22. So a good long term replacement is on the cards.

Well lets hope for the best. Will post new blog soon.

Loving Roma a panic?;P

Pakistan Cricket Team is the only team that can win a loosing match and loose a screamer. I always thought not to like any such team in future that makes you sit on the edge of your seats, but i could not control myself in falling in love with the Giallorossi. After all, being a Romanista is quite a special feeling. Therefore, Being a Romanista is so similar as being a Pakistan Cricket Teams fan


AS Roma is one such club, not just a club but a passion in itself. Being a Romanista is just like loving your girlfriend with full devotion and not letting anyone flirt with her. Last week, the love affair between the Sensi Family and AS Roma came to an end, when  Di Benedetto's became the new owner of the eternal city. Lets hope for the best for the club and hope the new owners deliver what they promised.

Many names are being linked with the club, with Buffon, the best Italian goalkeeper, is rumored to be joining them in the summer. Champions are always welcomed to any team, and it will be quite interesting to see what impact he makes to the capital club.

Another name that is most likely to join the club, this time on the bench is said to the former Romanista, Ancelloti. Under his management, Roma will automatically be labelled as Seria A favorites as he is one of the best in the business.

Well last night, AS Roma played the semi final of Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico against Inter Milan. The bottom line, the club was defeated by a single goal margin. But nevertheless, lets hope for a come back in the return leg that will take place in three weeks time.

before leaving, i would love to say that i will love to see Cassano wear the Gialorosso colours again ;). just a wild thought. Forza Roma!
