...Dan Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 The title race has become even less interesting but the race for 2nd has heated up. 2-0 to Napoli five minutes into the 2nd half at the Olimpico. Mertens with both goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoRoss Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Huge potential for Roma's season to be over with a week. A horrendous performance midweek (with a hard deficit to overcome) and a tough fixture against Lyon upcoming. The title race has been over for a while and this is merely the last straw to end it. At least for them, Strootman's last minute goal still gives them the head-to-head advantage over Napoli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted March 4, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 4, 2017 Bacca opened the scoring with a shot that the keeper should have done much better with. And he's just had a shot cleared off the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Stan Posted March 5, 2017 Administrator Share Posted March 5, 2017 Udinese go ahead agains Juventus. Zapata is just too strong for Chiellini and Bonucci. Think Buffon should be doing better though. Torino also losing at home against 3rd bottom Palermo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalmore Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Torino was losing to Palermo until Belotti decided to strike against his old team and he ripped them apart what a beast. I can easily say that he's up to Higuain and Icardi's level right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't be long before English teams or someone like Napoli or either Milan club come knocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

...Dan Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 I think I said it a while ago back on TFF but Belotti is the kind of player I'd like to see us take a chance on. There's a lack of established top class strikers out there, so we have to look a level below at those who could take that step up, and he's matching the top strikers in Italy so he's worth a shot. Though I said the same with Ciro Immobile who tore Serie A apart a few seasons ago at the same club and his move out of Italy didn't go well.

Good luck the rumours are swirling up for a Chelsea transfer. I dunno if that is because of the Italian Connection but I wouldn't be surprised if Diego Cunsta is hocked.

ScoRoss Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 He's only recently signed a new long term contract with Torino. It would probably take Higuain-level money to buy him this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 The Gareth Bale transfer is really what transcended everything into these levels of $£$£ insanity. Ronaldo's and Kaka's transfers were crazy but at least they were Balon d'Or players and the craziness seemed to be a one off for several years. Belotti will easily go for £40,000,000+.

Dalmore Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 I hope Milan can snatch some points from Juventus tonight and of course I'm expecting from Roma to emerge victorious in Palermo. This is the only way Serie A can be interesting again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gave it and not the assistant like is claimed then it's an absolute joke. There is literally no way he can see it clearly from his position. Even if the assistant right by it gave it, it's an incredibly harsh decision, his hand was close to his body and he was very close when it was kicked.

The Italian association probably thinks that having Juventus win Serie A is best for business. Is not only Juve that benefits from these decisions, many clubs do. Coincidentally Milan did in the first league game against them this season, where the ref invalidated Pjanic's fair goal after having validated it when Milan's players protested, that probably costed Juve 3 points, so Milan ended up benefiting the most between the two this season regarding ref's decisions.
