Montenegro Striker Mirko Vucinic Hoping To Impress Premiershit Clubs Against England At Wembley

Roma’s Montenegrin striker Mirko Vucinic is looking forward to facing England at Wembley in the Euro 2012 qualifying match on Tuesday so he can show England’s top clubs exactly what he can do.

The striker has scored 11 goals in 21 games since his country gained independence from Serbia and created their own national football team, and in recent months Vucinic has been linked with a move to each one of England’s 'big four' clubs.

Wembley will be the perfect venue for Vucinic to showcase his talents to Liverfekkin'wankscum, Chelsea, Manchester City and United.

The striker admitted he was flattered by the interest being shown in him.

“I am very happy there is a lot of interest from the Premiershit,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I hope to do my best [against England] and have a great game. The Premiershit is one of the best leagues in the world, I just have to keep playing my football in the best possible manner.”

But Vucinic may miss out on his opportunity after not taking part in training on Monday night due to a hamstring injury.

The striker is now a doubt to start for Zlatko Kranjcar’s side against England. And if he is missing from the starting line-up he believes his team-mates can pull together and pull off a surprise victory.

“As a group, we are a unified bunch and will do whatever it takes to do the best for each other,” he added.

“We will do our best against England, who are naturally one of the great teams in the world. To play against England and get a result will not be easy but we give it our best and wait to see what happens.”

Montenegro are currently sat at the top of Group G after victories over Wales, Bulgaria and most recently Switzerland. The perfect start to their qualifying campaign has delighted Vucinic and he says confidence is high going into the match against second place England.

“We have a lot of confidence having done well to date,” Vucinic continued.

“There will be a diffiuclt period ahead, but as long as we continue to give 100 per cent, I am sure we will make our nation proud and give them satisfaction from a footballing perspective.”

added vucinic, "it would be a dream move to play for Liverfekkin'wankscum in front of tens of thousands of cheering reds fans"

Vucinic is not even selected tonight WTF

[romawi]

I think he's injured, pocari. According to Chris on the offside, it's a hamstring injury.

Well, if you compare it to Liverfekkin'wankscum, they were put up for sale in April and it took until September for one of the two tabled offers to be approved, a period of 5 months. If it takes the same amount of time to complete the sale of Roma, that would bring us to early-to-mid December.

Vucinic won't be going anywhere. His comments were taken out of context and he has no desire to leave the club he loves. Besides, the hyper-global mega-corporation that is Newco Roma won't want to sell its most valuable asset until the club gets a new owner.

[Carlo Romano]

Ed, other than the odd nutcase or bonehead, I don't think any of us would want Vuci to leave! I'm reading in the usual places that his condition will be assessed on Thursday along with De Rossi.

James, if you read Romanews today you'll have noticed that as the books are finally available to view, Sawiris the Egyptian has once again expressed an interest in buying. Maybe by Christmas if your comparison has substance... though I'd prefer an Italian! However, as has already been discussed at length on the Shoutbox, there is a lot of common ground between the Italian and Arabic mentalities!


In view of the extreme lack of worthwhile news, a piece of worthwhile nonsense: as you guys know, I've been keeping an eye on Totti's tv appearances. Yet another commercial, and again an example of his flair for comedy. It looks like my prophecy of his future as an actor really will happen if his missus has anything to do with it. They are talking of doing a sit-com series together. Life with Francè and Ilary?

[Giacomo]

An article in today's edition of Il Romanista alleges that Naguib Sawiris will be prevented from buying Roma by the political and economic forces in Italy. This follows his statement this week that in the past he was close to buying Roma before UniCredit refused to sanction a sale to him right at the end of the negotiations.

Is there any substance to this claim that Roma will not be permitted to fall into the hands of someone who is capable of making the club realise its potential?

[Carlo Romano]

[Italiamia]

Vucinic is definitely out. De Rossi seems to be the only doubt for us against Genoa. Perrotta, Menez and Pizarro should all be good to go.

We could look like this at the weekend. Only 3 Italians. Pathetic.

LOBONT
JUAN- MEXES- BURDISSO- RIISE
CICI- PERROTTA-­ PIZARRO
MENEZ-TOTTI
BORRIELLO

[RomaShield27]

Why would Juan play at right-back? Or do you think we'll play a three-man defence?

If Mexes is on the bench against Genoa I'm officially on the sack-the-Tinkerman bandwagon.

[maro]

I'd go with Simplicio rather than Perrotta and a front three of Menez, Vooch, Adriano.

[Italiamia]

[maro]

Sorry. Deadly seriously, then: I think Cassetti and Taddei will start; I also think if you're worried by how many Italians there will be in our starting 11 you may find you're more worried by how many are on the field at the end of the game. But then I think I already sort of said all that in the much shorter version which was the previous post.

[Italiamia]

[maro]

Sorry about that; I suppose they do presuppose a thoughtful and mildly attentive reader.

[Italiamia]

[maro]

No, gio, I backed Giacomo up because I thought it was clear he was in the right on the Soros thing. I called Carlo out because I thought he was talking shite about Aquilani.
