Frederico Balzaretti

[AJW]

Duncan Castles saying we want to loan the Roma left back who is very unpopular with their fans. Seems to be a part in the Times added to a story on Bale and Lamela.

Don't know much about him but suppose he would provide the experience back up to Rose. Suggests Coentrao isn't happening.

Might be worth a punt as a loan signing. Wonder why he's unpopular with their fans.

 

[DaSpurs]

Wow. Thought he was one of their better players. Fans need to chill.

 

[Anrey]

unpopular? What? Osvaldo was unpopular, not Balzaretti. Loan? Balzaretti is only one leftback in Roma, that's loan is rubbish.

 

[radkovic]

he was class at palermo a few years ago. not so much at roma last year, but that doesn't have to mean anything.
would take him. one year loan is not much of a risk and we really need a left back if benny goes.

This is the Roma effect. Their fans are never satisfied unless your name is Totti, then you can do no wrong.

He was indeed quality at Palermo and his good performances got him into the national team. He's not been great at Roma but I still think he's a decent shout, he can be very good on his day.

Under normal circumstances I'd be keen to get him but surely if there is something concrete in this it means we have less confidence than before in signing Coentrao which is a shame

 

[neptunes]

I follow Roma and he is average.

Coentrao does not want to come to us. Not sure why people are still hung up on such a thing.

 

[Reclamation Project]

Might actually mean Coentrao is happening, Rose is leaving as he won't play second fiddle and we are looking at back-up options to Coentrao such as Balzaretti.....

 

[IMissTheWaddler]

Coentrao does not want to come to us. Not sure why people are still hung up on such a thing.

How do you know that? Link? Quotes? ITK?

 

[Colston]

Coentrao does not want to come to us. Not sure why people are still hung up on such a thing.

Well, I certainly hope so, wouldn't want Coentrao at all.

Shit left back, decent winger, not what we need.

Would be a good loan signing. Slight improvment on Benny and gives Rose the chance to prove himself and Fryers while on loan at a Championship side.

Tottenham and Roma have talked today about a swap between Assou-Ekotto and Balzaretti, according to Sky Italy

 

[pallettWHL]

Interesting proposition from Roma, think it's unlikely though.

Just to give it a bit of legitimacy Di Marizo is saying it's at a very early stage of suggestion.

A complicated idea. Rome and Tottenham speak, the future of Lamela is still on the table. The parties argue over bonuses, the company wants them easily accessible and yellow team while Tottenham wants to raise the bar. During the contacts between the two sides, however, also has been mentioned by others. Of a possible exchange between fullbacks. England fly Federico Balzaretti, while in Rome would Assou-Ekotto. At the moment it is only a hypothesis, testing can take off. But the parties have discussed. Meanwhile, Lamela waiting for the ok to fly to London.
