He’s almost back…

Happy New Year, Offsiders! I realize the updates haven’t been coming frequently, but Albertino has only played like 3 games this year, you know. Channel 4 has reported that Aqui is thisclose to finally signing his contract extension:
Roma midfield star Alberto Aquilani is close to agreeing a four-year contract extension with the club.There have been doubts over the Azzurri ace’s future as he has stalled over putting pen to paper on a new deal.
It goes on to say that the deal could be signed around the middle of next month. Alberto is in doubt for the weekend game against Milan, due to a back problem. (There are reports that he also had wisdom teeth removed.) However, he did play in Wednesday’s friendly against Lanciano. I’m crossing my fingers in hope that his injury period for the season is over. It’s not just me who’s excited he’s back, just look at Bruno…

Where in the World is Alberto Aquilani?

Looks like Albertino’s been hangin with his girlfriend, actress Michela Quattrociocche, a lot lately. As you can tell by the pictures he seems thrilled.

He takes her to Roma games, he should be playing in…

…and drives her around in his tiny car.

Meanwhile, Matteo Brighi is somewhere laughing…I kid, I kid…

It’s That Time of Year Again…

Um, yeah, the time of year where Alberto gets injured. Numerous sources are saying he’ll be out about three weeks due to a second degree muscle strain in his thigh. It’s a shame, really, considering he scored two goals for the Azzurri, and now this happens. Not to mention, Roma needs all the help they can get these days. Hopefully he recovers quickly, and Roma gets back to being the Roma we know. Here’s a little something to make you laugh…

Forza Roma!

Aqui Scores First Goals for the Azzurri!

Since being promoted to the senior Azzurri squad, Aqui has been unable to score. However, that all changed today when he bagged a brace to help Italia beat Montenegro 2-1. Alberto said after the match, “This is the dream that every young player has. I had never scored for Italy before so this, and being in the starting XI with the Number 10 shirt, is incredible. I really could not have asked for anything more.” Hopefully Alberto ( and all the Romans who played today) can carry this form into the weekend to help Roma take down Inter… Congrats Alberto!

When will the boys start letting me post good news, so I won’t see pictures like this anymore?

Apparently, Aqui’s bad mood has carried over to the national team as well…

Let’s hope the Romans can do well for the Azzurri. Forza Italia!

The Crocodillo Does it Again

Roma won 3-0 against Reggina today, with goals from Panucci, Aqui, and Perrotta. Aqui helped set up the first goal, by sending a back pass to old Panucci. Albertino scored in the second half with a great left-footed goal from far range. He then proceeded to celebrate with some sort of spirit fingers/jazz hands move, before kissing the Roma badge.

Cross your fingers, Romanisti….I think the boys are back!

First, there was hustle…

Then, Palermo scored some goals…

And then it ended like this…

I’m looking foward to the Champions League.

News and Rumors

Stephanie — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 11:33:23 +0000

Depending on which web sites you read, there are reports that Alberto will get his contract extension either after the game against Palermo on Saturday, or after the Champions League match against Cluj. Il Romanista, and other sources, are all saying that he will start at a certain salary and it will increase every year, until the contract expires in 2012. There is also a recession clause, like the one in Jeremy Menez’s contract. Ok then….

…on to the gossip. (Just admit you love it.) Alberto’s love life has also been making headlines in the past week. He may, or may have not, stolen 19 year old actress Michela Quattrociocche (good luck tryin to say that last name) from her fiance, Matteo Branciamore. The two were supposedly seen at a restaurant in Rome, however, now people are saying that she was with another actor who just looks like Aqui. Doesn’t really matter either way, because Alberto usually has a different WAG every week.

Random Alberto Fact of the Day: Aqui introduced former Roma goalkeeper, Gianluca Curci, to his wife Sabrina. Alberto was dating Sabrina, and when they broke up, Curci swooped in and they are now married with a son.

Week 1,Goal 1,bitches!

Well, the game ended in a tie for Roma and Napoli, but I look like less of an idiot today for starting this blog. Alberto scored because of a great pass from Daniele De Rossi. Hopefully, the season will continue on a good note, and Aqui won’t injure himself for months at a time,like he usually does. Here are the highlights from today:
