    Montella To Fulham

    Roma striker Vincenzo Montella has joined Fulham on loan for the rest of the season.

    The Eternal City club confirmed that an agreement had been reached to loan out the 32-year-old hitman to the Premiership outfit.

    "Roma announce that they have perfected an agreement with Fulham Football Club to loan on a temporary and free basis the sporting rights of the footballer Vincenzo Montella for what remains of the 2006-7 sporting season," read the one paragraph statement posted on club website, www.asroma.it.

    Montella's departure means that now only club skipper Francesco Totti remains of the starting line-up that won the Serie A title five years ago.

    Montella, nicknamed 'il aeroplanino' (the aeroplane) because of his trademark goal celebration, previously played for Empoli, Genoa and Sampdoria before moving to Roma in 1999.

    He scored a number of crucial goals in the Scudetto-winning season of 2000-01, many as a substitute, after refusing to hand over his cherished number nine shirt to newly-signed Argentinian striker Gabriel Batistuta, who had demanded the jersey.

    He was part of the Italy squad for the 2002 World Cup but did not feature in Marcello Lippi's victorious 23-man party in Germany last year.

    Interesting signing.
    On the Ning Nang Nong
    Where the Cows go Bong!
    And the Monkeys all say Boo!
    There's a Nong Nang Ning
    Where the trees go Ping!
    And the tea pots Jibber Jabber Joo.
    On the Nong Ning Nang
    All the mice go Clang!
    And you just can't catch 'em when they do!
    So it's Ning Nang Nong!
    Cows go Bong!
    Nong Nang Ning!
    Trees go Ping!
    Nong Ning Nang!
    The mice go clang!
    What a noisy place to belong,
    Is the Ning Nang Ning Nang Nong!!

    Top player when on form - could be a great signing for them - depends on how he gets on with the English style - could be another Nando.
    It's my job to handle life and death situations on a daily basis. It's what I do, and I'm very good at it.

      depends on how he gets on with life in london, he might just party it away, it's a risk but the lad obviously has quality, it will be interesting to say the least...

          He is the type of player we are missing, a penalty box specialist.
          Just believe and you never know what will happen.

          According to Benitez it's important not simply to go out to win but to go out prepared to win, which means players have to put in the same level of work on a daily basis. Anything else is unacceptable.

            No, we're missing a winger.

                Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.
