Joke of the Day

By: Michele | July 31st, 2009

Arsene Wenger’s preferred midfield target this summer is the Roma and Italy midfielder Daniele De Rossi, and despite the Italian club’s reluctance to sell Arsenal have not given up hope that Roma’s perilous financial position could force a sale.

Like Liverpool’s pursuit of De Rossi’s Roma team-mate Alberto Aquilani, the player’s future is bound up with the financial problems of the club and the long-term plans of the Sensi family who own it. De Rossi, 26, is regarded as the most important player at the club behind Francisco Totti and is valued at around £30m, which is far in excess of any transfer fee paid by Arsenal in the past.

Jokes guys, jokes… Stick to getting vierra back
and just in case you were wondering how credible this all is –

While De Rossi’s reputation in England is not distinguished because of some of Roma’s less than impressive Champions League performances in recent years, he is regarded in Italy as one of the country’s finest players.

‘Cuz Daniele didn’t score the goal of the game and battle against eleven men that match… and I don’t see what other game they could be refering to, the most recent being a 3 – 1 mauling of chelsea…

Wheras Daniele will not leave in a million years the same cannot be said for his Roman brother in arms…

A sacrifice we have to make if you ask me.
You will be missed Aqui but hopefully they have qualified medics over there and you can get back on your feet.
