I don't think going to Spain is going to be the answer for Adriano. If he doesn't like the bench or pressure of Milan, he certainly won't enjoy the bench in Madrid. A club that is notorious for bringing in strikers every year.

Now if he goes to a club like Athletico, Valencia, Villareal etc... then I agree. However this dream of playing for Real is just that.

I wouldn't rule out Sevilla, right now I think he'd take anything that isn't in Milan or Italy.

....which in my opinion is silly. Now if Inter refuse to sell him to Roma, that is one thing, however for him, Roma would be the perfect place for him.

Unlike Mido, then Vidic , and the other countless experiments that Roma have tried, I believe Adriano would dominate, if he learns to read Totti properly.

This is if Inter sell him, something that I am finding hard to read......

The club officials still rate him very highly, and feel that his off field antics are partly responsible for his poor peformances. Something which I tend to agree with......

That and the fact that he got lazy in his runs. You don't go from the guy we saw two seasons ago, to the player we see today.

Adriano is the perfect example of what happens when you let fame and money go to your head, and living in Milan has enough distractions to affect the best of us.

Yes, I agee. His party lifestyle has definitely effected his performances and his attitude hasn't helped either. Whether he'd fit in at Roma is open to debate but what I would say is that he's most effective as a lone striker and that's the system that Roma play. However, I just can't see him ever moving to Rome. Madrid always seem to be interested and that's where I think he'll end up.

adriano to roma??this gotta o be the most bizzare tabloid stuff

.i dont think inter is going to sell him.i think he still has smthing to offer them.

Adriano would be a bad investment for Roma IMO.
He too oftenly tries to take possesion personally, which doesnt fit into Roma's style of team work.
Adriano should move to Spain (like Joel suggests) or even the Premiership, he seems to have the style of play that could fit into the Prem.

**D-Kin** · 12-01-2007, 12:34 PM

Yeah, I think he'd do well in England as well due to his physical presence and his aerial threat.

When Adriano is playing with the right type of player, co-striker, he can perform.

I don't agree that he needs posession. I feel he is most effective when he plays deep, and waits for a pass or rebound.

He will not move now, but I feel Roma would be so lucky to get him if they could.

Nobody takes posession away from Totti and Mancini.

Roma has spent recently on players, but they never come helpful.

**D-Kin** · 19-02-2007, 08:31 PM

Actually they haven't spent much in the last 2 or 3 seasons.

Their two biggest signings this season have been on loan (Tavano and Wilhelmsson).
