Is he a youth team player or for the first team?

Guys, I've already given on Benayoun to Roma in our Transfers thread...

Ahmed, although you are my very good friend, there is an admission fee payable by non Roma fans to enter our Holy of Holies!

You will have to translate the Arabic part of your above post!

Benayoun

I'm reading conflicting reports on our gallant captain's progress.

Today Rai and Mediaset are saying Totti will not be back playing until October while the usual internet sources state he is well ahead of schedule and should be able to start the new season...

Andrew, you're showing your Devils Club side here...

Vučinić has shown us he can be Mr Mean & Moody's replacement. In fact we've really seen him flourish as a left sided forward. The bloody problem is who else we get to replace both Mancini and Giuly...I don't need to tell you I mean we need someone of starting quality because unless we pick up a real centroavanti this market, then Vuci is going to have to fill in up front in the time being until our gallant Capitan' returns!

On that point we're getting 2 different stories. Net sources say he will be fit to start the new season while tv info gives October as being more likely.

Well, I for one would prefer to turn the topic back to Roma...not that we have anything great to shout about in this damn mercato! Judging by this article it would seem Scolari could be intending keeping Malouda at Chelsea!







Roma manager Luciano Spalletti has revealed that his club are still in pursuit of Chelsea’s Florent Malouda. The ex-Lyon winger has been subject of transfer overtures from the Serie A runners-up during this window, as they seek to add a replacement for Mancini, now of Internazionale.

Roma are determined to bolster their attacking options this summer, with Klaas Jan Huntelaar and Julio Baptista also mentioned as proposed targets.

However, Malouda has seemingly been given a new lease of life under Luiz Felipe Scolari at Chelsea, after the Brazilian coach criticised predecessors Jose Mourinho and Avram Grant for utilising the winger incorrectly.

The French international’s future could still lie at Stamford Bridge but the Premiershit club are keen to reduce their first-team squad numbers. In the event of a Roma bid for Malouda, the London club could sell.

Spalletti has ruled out bids for the potentially expensive David Silva of Valencia and the incompatible Lukas Podolski of Bayern Munich, but insisted that his club had identified definitive transfer targets.

He told the press: "We are looking for someone very physical who can play as a wide striker. Everyone likes David Silva, but he is too expensive. Lukas Podolski is an excellent player, but would not fit into our style of play.

"Florent Malouda and Julio Baptista would be good choices, but their future depends on how other transfer deals go."
