I have no source for this, but I thought I'd post it anyway. Earlier on the 606 boards, it was doing the rounds that Arsenal were looking to sign Roma forward Francesco Totti, and it had been reported on Italian tv/radio. Oppinion towards this was VERY negative.
A few pro's and con's, in my eyes.
+
+ He's a player of undoubted quality. In fact, he's one of the only players in the world REALLY capable of playing in the Bergkamp role, but scoring them as well as creating.
+ He's at Roma. Roma need cash. We have cash (especially if Reyes goes). Might make sense.
+ It's be a big **** OFF to the likes of Utd. and Chelsea. It would demonstrate that we ARE capable of drawing massive stars to this club. It would piss them off, and scare the **** out of just about everybody else in the premiership.
-
- He dives more than van Nistelhorsefacedcunt and spits more than El Hadj Poof.
- Monster ego. What on earth would he do to the dressing room?
- Roma may need the cash, but he still wouldn't be cheap. And then there are his wages!!! Plus, if it emerged that he was on the move, Real and Chelsea would definitely be sniffing around.
Verdict?
If we were offered the chance to sign him, I'd probably go for it. You can't really turn down talent like that. On the other hand, we probably couldn't afford him after the inevitable bidding war with Chelsea and Real. A non-starter, if you ask me, almost no-chance we'd get him. But hey, we can dream.
