Adriano





His name is Adriano Leite Ribeiro. He is the Emperor or L'Imperatore. As a Roma fan through and through I would like to write my thoughts about this latest transfer coup. It will be about why Adriano is a great signing for Roma.

Adriano is a man on a mission. He went to serie A as a youngster with lots of potential. He literally took Serie A by storm, until it all went wrong for him on 2009. He suffers depression after his father's death. And so, being unable to perform at his capacities, he went back to the Brazilian league to discover happiness again.

He did so. He joined Flamengo and helped them winning the league and finished the league as top scorer. Now that he regained his form, then came the opportunity to prove that he still has what it takes to be a success in a big club.

AS Roma are seriously interested in bringing Adriano back to the Serie A. It may seem like a gamble for some. But Adriano himself are very sure he is ready to prove his worth for Roma. And now the signing is complete and I cannot wait to see him don the number 8 shirt for Roma!

Okay, maybe I haven't said anything on why I think Adriano will be a success. It will be for his records and ability. As it stands, Adriano is still the current top scorer for Inter in the European Cup with 18 goals in 30 games. As great Totti and Vucinic are domestically, they are unable to match Adriano's proven record in the Champions League. This will be an important element for us next season in Europe.

He still has that deadly left foot. So when things go bad then 'pop' a goal might come out of nowhere. Therefore, besides Totti, Vucinic and De Rossi now there is Adriano who could be the one to rely for spectacular goals.

I think that Adriano is the missing link that Roma are missing so far. Roma needs a strong centre forward who are strong physically and the kind of 'fox in the box' type. They had it with Gabriel Batistuta (when they became champions) and now I'm convinced that Adriano is the man to fill that link that Luca Toni failed to produce last season.

Therefore, let us say this to Adriano: L'Imperatore e indietro! In Boca Il Lupo!

Claudio Ranieri : Julius Caesar?

Did you know about Julius Caesar? Let me tell you a little story. Caesar was a famous general from the Republic of Rome. He idolizes Alexander the Great. It was said that he wept at Alexander's tomb seeing he was 32 at the time and haven't done anything drastic. Alexander conquered the world at the age of 25. He finally oust his partner, Pompeus and drove him out of Rome. Which resulted that Pompeus was killed. Caesar has a trusted right hand man in Marc Anthony who was a fearsome general himself. Caesar finally ruled as a lifetime dictator in the republic of Rome. Whilts installing Mark Antony in the senate to help him instilling fear in the senate. Caesar's rule finally ended when he was brutally murdered in the senate, when Mark Antony was being held outside. Caesar installed his great Nephew, Gaius Octavian as his heir. There were civil war after Caesar's rule ended. The protagonists were Octavian, who has changed his name to Augustus Caesar against Marc Antony and ...

My thoughts on Ibra

Celebrating scoring a rare goal for Sweden. Why does everyone seems to think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a great striker? I don't. He doesn't deserve to play in a big club like FC Barcelona. His biggest achievements are only winning the league titles everywhere he goes, but always a failure on the european matches (look at Ajax, Juve, Inter and now Barca). He even didn't perform well in the World Cup or any international matches. Let's see him join Arsenal (to make way for Cesc re-joining Barca finally). Maybe he will be the player to help them winning their league title finally, with a cost in the champs league. Or maybe I wanna see him join AS Roma (his favoured choice before Juve and Inter stole him anyway) and bring them as both Serie A champions AND Champions league winner then maybe he'll convinced me. As for now, though. I think Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the most overrated striker in the world. Inter got a great buy in Eto'o. Look at them, they are on cours...
