Riise completes Roma move

by JP Lonergan, 18 June 2008

John Arne Riise has completed his move from Liverpool to Roma, with the Serie A giants declaring that he has signed on a four-year deal.

The versatile left-sided Norwegian will join Luciano Spalletti’s side after falling out of favour at Anfield after seven years on Merseyside.

Riise, who has joined The Giallorossi for five million euros, made over 300 appearances under Rafael Benitez and previously Gerard Houllier at Liverpool after signing from Monaco. However, the emergence of Brazilian Fabio Aurelio saw his chances become more limited on the left in his final season on Merseyside.

2-3-4 seasons ago, he was one of the best LB's in the world. Then... something happened and became *****. Pure *****. Good for Roma.


Naughty words removed.

I think it's a good buy for Roma, they didn't have a great offensive LB, now they just need to find the next Cafu (Rafinha!) and a target striker, and they'll be OK. Oh and of course extend Aquilani's contract!!!

[kurtsimonw]

Good player, just seemed to lose his confidence at Livrpool. The move is good for all parties involved.

[dst]

My opinion is that Riise is just another mediocre player that Great Rafa made look good. I really can't see why people rate him above average, he only has a good shot and can clean the ball with his jersey... that's it. I never liked him (as a player) and I probably never will.

That said, I hope he helps Roma beat Inter to the title! (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Lamps 'agrees Inter switch' Thursday 19 June, 2008

England international Frank Lampard has reportedly agreed to leave Chelsea for Inter, leaving the two sides to come to an agreement.

Inter President Massimo Moratti is looking to make three big swoops to strengthen the squad on the behalf of new boss Jose Mourinho.

And Mourinho seems to have set his heart upon a reunion with Lampard, who was one of his key men at Stamford Bridge.

While Chelsea have tried to discourage the former West Ham man from emigrating, he reportedly sees this as a great chance for a fresh start and has been lured by assurances that he can remain living in England while wearing the Nerazzurri shirt.

The arrival of World Cup winning tactician Luiz Felipe Scolari doesn’t seem to have changed Lampard’s mind and it is believed that he has officially accepted a transfer.

The two clubs are still to find a concrete agreement, but there are rumours that they will shake hands on a £14m deal.

“I’m not a nostalgic person,” Mourinho said when asked for his view on the speculation.

“But I recognise the players who have helped me win and I would never say no to signing Deco, Lampard or Didier Drogba. I’d like to work with them again, but it’s not an obsession.”

Won't be the first time.

But I think this is tribal football. As far as I know, they are still negotiating his contract extensions at Chelsea. They're ok with his wage demands, but don't want to give him an extension of more than 2 years. Lamps wants a contract that will have him play out his career. I think 4-5 years. Otherwise, he'd like to go play off somewhere else, and then come back to finish off in England.

It seems that Inter is on a verge to sign Lampard and Mancini. Two top players.

How come we, MILAN [Italy's richest club], are in financial crisis but Inter are spending millions each year? (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

[Jack Sparrow]

We are the richest club in terms of assets. For all you know Inter has probably mortgaged it's own assets. In any case they're losing close to 100 mill pounds every year.

We could do the same, but I believe it is a management decision not to. Perhaps they believe this is a sinking ship(spending as much as possible). For instance, Manchester Utd find themselves in a situation where they just interest payments in the 100 mill range a year!! Since they want the club to last another 100 years, I can't entirely say I blame them. (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
