Don't hold your breath Vucinic...he has been a disappointment this season...but as he said injuries have been a key reason why. We'll see what the future holds for him.

Vucinic wants Roma future

Tuesday 27 March, 2007

Mirko Vucinic has urged Roma to complete his transfer from Lecce at the end of the current campaign.

The striker joined the Giallorossi from the Via Del Mare outfit last summer on a loan deal worth £2.2m and the capital city club have an option to buy in June for a further £2.5m.

“I am pleased with my performances so far and I am finally getting back to my best shape,” said Vucinic on Tuesday, having returned to Rome following international duty with Montenegro.

“I like it here as this is the club I had been dreaming about for so long and I hope I will stay,” he added.

“It is now my objective to win a place in the first team. When you take into account my previous fitness struggles, I am sure I can do even better.”

Vucinic has spent much of this season on the bench given Luciano Spalletti’s insistence on using a 4-2-3-1 formation with Francesco Totti as a lone striker.

“Will Spalletti field Totti up front next term too? I can only train hard,” responded the player. “The Coach is the one who makes the decisions.”

Roma will host Milan on Saturday evening and will then play the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final with Manchester United next Wednesday.

“Milan are a strong team and Ronaldo is one of the best players in the world,” continued the youngster.

“As for Manchester, they are doing well in Europe and in their own domestic League. However, no one gave us much of a chance against Lyon either…”
