Aquilani is not so good. Really stuck in puberty. Haven't developed anything over tha last year.. still mediocre on the big stage.

don`t worry he`ll improve

funny how everyone first hails him, and then, after the NT-performance (which WAS pretty weak) everyone keeps saying he's bad. Aquilani is good, no matter what he delivered with Italy. He's surely not a prilo or any other WC-CM but he'll come to it, believe me... he won't be sold anyways...

No, I prefer Marchisio

I partly agree with U. Many members here saw him as already acomplished player, a true star and already WC midfielder. Aquilani is a good player who have a potential to become WC but not yet. Also I think that at the moment he couldn't succed at Juve, couse everyone would expect from him to be an instant hit. That's why Xabi is better option, he would bring more quality and he will only need time to adjust to our tactics, unlike Aquilani who needs more time to develop and we don't have that time, plus he would cost more than Xabi.

And let's face the fact that he will never leave Roma for us.

and I'm not a fan of strengthening our rivals by paying them 25 million for an overrated player.

I agree,for once.....

Aquilani flourished in Roma where all eyes were on 5-6 star players like Totti,Mancini,Pizzaro,Cicinho,Mexes.... then every good move whas paired with comments like "take a look at this young fella,nice move". And then came Euro2008 and a role that was too demanding for him: a playmaker..... a flop

 

[IL Pinturrichio]

Aquilani only impressed me on two occasions, against Real in UCL
and the rabona move he did against milan in the league

I dread to think what you guys are going to say about Marchisio if you think Aquilani isn't much good.

I cannot say anything for him as I dont remember his performances from SerieB and I didn't watched Empoli this year too often,and when I dod he was substituted in 60-70. min of the game

Marchisio is ours. We don't have to pay a ridiculous fee for him, and he's not expected to start right away, unlike Aquilani. So The expectations are lower, or at least they should be.

OK then, but saying Aquilani isn't worth what we would have to pay is different from saying he isn't that good, which is what some folk have been saying.

For the record, all things considered, I think Alonso is a better option than Aquilani.

 

[Osman]

Its rather typical the same ones who saying he is so amazing because he is a young italian mainly, instead of the quality player he is, is now turning on him and calling him crap because of one NT game. Predictable shit.

 

[pierrelb]

aquilani and xabi are quality players, no arguement there. it's simple, cuz our target is xabi alonso cuz he's more experienced, and we have marchisio to be his understudy. but if the deal with liverpool keeps stalling, we have to go for someone else, and that someone should be aquilani, even tho he hasn't finished developing. he's the next best option to xabi who we can get, but it depends on what roma are going to ask for him.

 

[zann]

lets place our trustwith marchisio first for now. he'll be a good understudy to alonso. but then again, would he get a chance to play, like a string of matches?

 

[IL Pinturrichio]

Aquilani is still unproven IMO, Why pay such a fee for him while we have another unproven promising youngster

Aquilani is defintitly good, but not as much as media made him good. Like I've already said many member here are conisedered him as an acomplished player ready to flourish and and lead our midfield, and forgot that he is stil pretty much inexpirienced and that he needs more time to develop. And because of that it's ridicoulus to pay 25 mils for someone who will barely make difference and probably with all the hype and expectations around him will probably flop (at least in the eyes of the fans).

So so fickle.. Aquilani was poor against Spain, granted, but he is still a great player with tremendous potential. I'd be very happy to sign him. Don't expect it to happen though.

 

[Red]

So people don't want to sign Aquilani now, but will complain in a couple of years that we can't afford him once he has developed?

 

[Thunderball]

Despite his brief and underwhelming performance at the Euros... Aquilani is still a dynamite prospect and an excellent choice to bolster the midfield.

However, I think Xabi Alonso is the slightly better option right now. He's entering his prime, more experienced, and the better solution at the moment. In two to three years, Aquilani may very well be the better player. That is worth consideration too.

However, once you get past them, the options aren't good for a pure central midfielder. If names like Senna or Stankovic are being bandied around, the point is being missed.

i don't think people have anything against an aquilani transfer, it's just that they feel xabi is a better option right now, we have a promising young CM in marchisio, and roma would be unwilling to let aquilani go for cheap.
