In a related move, Fiorentina confirm Cuadrado is joining Chelsea. Salah is moving in the opposite direction on loan.

Probably a good deal both ways. Cuadrado can be a terror but Fiorentina has a lot of quality in the attack without him and they need money to beef up elsewhere.

Cuadrado seems an excellent fit for Mourinho.


There's also been some rumors in Italy that Chelsea may go for Icardi in the summer.

Seems to perfect to be true that "vice Costa" would be even more of a villain.

A bit much for sure. Makes me wonder if Nolan is finally gone.

Any news on Enner Valencia being sold? Last I saw Chelsea might be interested.

According to the Independent, the Fletcher move has stalled.

Doumbia to Roma

Doumbia to Roma




I really wanted Destro to succeed but his style of play just didn't fit and ultimately probably wasn't quite good enough.

Rudi Garcia has wanted a much faster, more dynamic option at CF and Doumbia is certainly that. Doumbia, Gervinho and Iturbe make it seem like we're building a 400m relay team.


Ironically, Roma was very close to signing Doumbia 3 years ago when they end up buying Destro even before Rudi Garcia took over.

This move is also a pretty clear sign from management that they are 100% behind Rudi Garcia long term and convinced he's committed as well.


Added: I think Roma will also get Victor Ibarbo from Cagliari so, yeah, 4x100m relay team is the transfer strategy.

Holy shite. Roma is essentially building a real life version of multiple Fifa careers I've managed.

This season has been a disaster for bad injuries. Castan being out from the beginning with brain surgery to now Strootman and I-turbo gone for year.

It seems that Roma may finally get Chiriches from Spurs after they outbid us contract wise a couple of years ago.

I think Roma will likely scramble another midfielder just to hold the fort down since De Rossi is out along with Strootman and Pjanic will probably get a 3 match ban for throwing a punch yesterday.



I don't play FIFA, but I can imagine Ibarbo, Duombia, Gervinho (and Iturbe) being pretty popular if pace is at a premium.

Considering Roma's present bad form and every starting midfielder being out I wouldn't be com pletely shocked to see some kind of wild video game lineup with Totti dropped deep in the midfield just spraying long balls toward Gervinho, Ibarbo and Doumbia.

Reports on Monday suggested that the 22-year-old has signed a pre-contract with Real Sociedad and will join David Moyes’ side at the end of the season.

The England Under 21 striker, who has been widely linked with the Spanish club, will be out of contract in the summer and is free to talk to foreign teams.
