Fairly good week for goals, as only one game finished 0-0 (Catania-Napoli, but ask Takayuki Morimoto about that). The top scorer table is still wide open, as Di Natale started strong but now has cooled off so he remains at 9, while Hamsik is second with 7 and that's impressive for a midfielder.

Inter Milan v AS Roma
Serie A
Sunday, 8 November 2009
San Siro
Kick off: 20:45

As Internazionale faces AS Roma at the San Siro this Sunday, Roma manager Claudio Ranieri will be hoping that the evidence he is looking at is wrong.

Exhibit item A tells Ranieri that Roma without Francesco Totti does not offer much this season.

The over-riding reaction at seeing Fiorentina's name being drawn in Liverpool's Champions League group was something of a surprise. Perhaps it is an indication of the falling standards of the Serie A that, where once Italian teams were feared now they are met with a feeling that is somewhat akin to relief.

It is already the Juventus of Diego.

The club maybe able to complete its remarkable turnaround since its return to Serie A in 2007 by challenging Inter for the Scudetto this year. If they win, it will be in no small part to their Brazilian imports, especially Diego.

Diego's two goals and Felipe Melo's injury time score finished off a Roma side which lost two games in a row but not its character.

Ieri sera si è appresa la notizia. Una novella che certamente non farà piacere a Spalletti e ai tifosi giallorossi, i quali hanno visto la Roma, la scorsa stagione, tribolare per infortuni vari e non avere quasi mai la possibilità di schierare una stessa formazione per due partite consecutive nella Serie A di Calcio.

No smoke without fire!

The Rumour

Roma coach Luciano Spalletti has declared he's ready to sell Liverpool target Alberto Aquilani.

Liverpool see Aquilani as a potential replacement for Xabi Alonso, should the Spaniard make the move to Real Madrid this summer.

Spalletti said: "We have been quite expert in recent years following the departures of a number of our top players, and we have always managed to reorganise ourselves well.

Kolo Toure looks set to become second Arsenal player to join the City revolution after Emmanuel Adebayor. Citizens are reportedly close to completing £15 million deal for the Ivorian defender, whereas Arsene Wenger wants to use this money to buy Mirko Vucinic from Roma, as the Montenegrin striker is seen as the perfect replacement for Adebayor.

It should come as a shock to few, if any, but John Terry has finally come out and said that he's...(drumroll, please)...staying at Chelsea.

Not only is Mr. Chelsea staying at Chelsea, but apparently leaving for Manchester City was never a possibility. I'm not the only one wondering why, if it wasn't ever a possibility, he waited until all sorts of rumors had come out (even a few this morning, as it happens), but maybe he just has a sick sense of humor.

As Luis Fabiano's moving to Milan is not going to happen, rossoneri have set their eye on Montenegrin international. The club from San Siro are willing to give 16 million Euros and Ignacio Abate for Mirko Vucinic. The offers for Mirko Vucinic are pouring down and Montenegrin international and Roma player might just move to Milan, according to Italian media.

Chelsea have been linked with numerous players since Carlo Ancelotti took over the reigns but the Blues are yet to make any big name signings. The fans are not satisfied with the lack of activity in the transfer market, but the latest reports suggest that Chelsea have finally decided to act.

Roma striker Mirko Vucinic rejected a move to Spurs yesterday, and admits that he'd be willing to leave the Giallorossi if they need to sell him. Could Emmanuel Adebayor's departure signal Arsenal's interest in him? Vucinic played against Arsenal in last season's Champions League quarter-final, but an impressive performance from the 25-year-old was overshadowed by his weak [. Click to continue reading...

According to ESPN Soccernet, Roma striker Mirko Vucinic ruled out any move to Tottenham. He said,

"At the moment it's useless to talk because there aren't any offers ... If one should arrive I will talk with the club and we'll see."

"Obviously there are places where I would not want to go.

Roma are forced to sell at least one player to compensate for missing out on the Champions League. Spalletti sees De Rossi, Mexes and Juan as indispensable, whereas there are no offers for Perrotta and Brighi. In this situation, Mirko Vucinic is likely to be the player to leave the club, with Manchester United or Tottenham the most likely destinations.

Fiorentina's Pantaleo Corvino is known to be one of the best sporting directors in all of Italian calcio. Over the years Corvino has discovered a wealth of talent, including Fabrizio Miccoli, Valeri Bojinov, Mirko Vucinic, Christian Ledesma, and Stevan Jovetic just to name a few. He is also responsible for bringing players like Sebastien Frey, Luca Toni, Adrian Mutu, and Alberto Gilardino to Florence.

Monday came and went without all that much big news (certainly not what was expected to filter through the presses during the day), but there is still plenty to report on from the day, including a couple of new signings to add to the confirmed summer transfer lists today (updates will be complete by the afternoon) and a few more that will be added in the next couple of days.

The transfer news isn't as plentiful today as it has been in the last several days, but there are still some big names in the gossip pages today.

Manchester United are busy looking for a new striker, and while Karim Benzema may or may not be on his way to Old Trafford sometime this summer, there's no shortage of targets on United's striker wishlist, including one potentially surprising name.

Mirko Vucinic è il nuovo obiettivo del Manchester United, che deve rimpiazzare la "pesante" cessione di Cristiano Ronaldo al Real Madrid. Secondo il "Daily Mail", è dunque il montenegrino, in forza alla Roma di Spalletti, l'attaccante prescelto da Sir Alex Ferguson per rimpiazzare il portoghese ma anche la probabile cessione dell'argentino Tevez, ormai con la testa altrove.

Who will be in at Old Trafford this summer?

With the sale of Cristiano Ronaldo adding £80 million to Sir Alex Ferguson's usual £25-30 million yearly budget. A summer spending spree is surely on the cards. Looking at the side, it would appear to me a winger and some quality in centre midfield are needed, with possibly, a striker as the icing on the cake. Click to continue reading...

Mirko Vucinic, attaccante della Roma, a Sky Sport."Sono contento che Aquilani ha rinnovato il contratto, io sto parlando del mio in questo periodo e siamo quasi alla fine.

Sponsor should have warned Italian side Roma should not have been surprised by Mirko Vucinic's awful effort in last night's penalty shootout. Everyone's favourite stripping Montenegrin even misses penalties in his own adverts for Roma's shirt sponsors so it is unclear who thought he would do better in a Champions League match.

After a week of steamy press release rants, counter-declarations, suspensions, and controversy (all stemming from last Sunday's 3-3 affair), Roma could not do better than a 1-1 home draw to Udinese Saturday.
