Rafael Benitez has agreed an £18million fee with Roma....

[Redders]

for Alberto Aquilani...

Is he any good? I'm assuming he is replacing Alonso. Reports say he is injury prone.

[BAGGIO 15]

The guys a gun.

The guys a gun.

pool fans should be cheerin at the moment

[rooboy1986]

The guys a gun.

Paul Reiffel was a gun!!!

[Judge Judy]

definitely not a replacement for xabi

[Lilly Whites]

The guys a gun.

He is amazing, very attacking minded though and I dont know where he will fit in with Macha and Gerrard playing..

[El Pibe D'Oro]

I have always rated Aquilani, skill level is amazing, but yes he is injury prone and will be interesting to see how keeps with the pace of the EPL.

the best is the rabona against milan when he passes to Mancini.

Top notch

[Badragas]

This is very sad for any Roma supporter....especially as he will go to The most hated english club by romanisti.

The only thing that will stop him from being potentially the Worlds best midfielder is consistency, as he is always injured.

[totsreds08]

he looks very good in the video

[Owusu_1]

Sheesh, don't know how I feel about this.

[Badragas]

Sheesh, don't know how I feel about this.

you should be happy! you support liverpool???? or Roma???

[Giallorossi]

aquilani if he can stay fit is a very classy player but injuries have left him not playing many games in the season just gone.

Saying that i will be gutted if he leaves cos i thought he was a romanista at heart just like totti and de rossi.
Still hope he changes his mind and the club do cos if he is fit he is exactly what roma need and with him and de rossi in the midfield it is one of the best partnerships in serie A!

[Badragas]

The only other problem is we need the money.

although he is Romano - Romanista, he don't get the same $$$ as Totti and de rossi. So he will go. His family will push him to go as well. $$$$$

yes i know money talks unfortunately and the money could help teh club as well maybe he has the same thinking as nesta when he went to milan.

Roma need to find a buyer for the club so they can keep there class players and buy new ones so we can challenge for the scudetto

the thing is Sensi will be forced to sell cause of $$$ but I feel we get dicked either way. 18 mil is nothing.

[Ronnie]

doesnt look the player xabi is, but hopefully i am proven wrong

[Piola]

The guy has played just 27 league games in the past 3 seasons, and you're spending 18 million on him and paying him 4 million a year?? Good luck to ya.

He didn't get the same $$ as De Rossi and Totti because they contributed to their team a shitload more than he did.

[Owusu_1]

It would be cool to see him at Liverpool but I agree with this in that Aquilani leaving would really damaging to Roma.

[anfield road]

if he has played so few games for Roma it is the deal of the century, why wouldnt roma cash in.

i heard he is quite a physical player and should suit the premier league.

i would rather of put that money to villa or desilva but maybe a sign of mascherano leaving as well.

[LFTWNG11]

definitely not a replacement for xabi

without a doubt.

even when fit and firing, his game doesn't revolve calm neat passing... he makes runs through midfield etc etc, more of a Gerrard type than Xabi type.

Liverpool should buy someone not made of balsa wood.
