Antonio Di Natale equalled Roberto Baggio's goal record in Serie A this week. He's now tied for 6th best goalscorer of all time in Italy with 205 goals. He has scored more past 30 than the likes of Crespo and Vieiri did in their entire careers, and he has done it for a club without a single superstar.

Apparently he was close to retiring last year, but he promised his sick father - who then passed away a few months later - that he would keep going until he had tied Baggio. He's delivered on that promise now.

Di Natale scored again today. He's officially past Roberto Baggio in the all-time top scorers' league now. Take a bow.

I wonder how Di Natale and Totti could've done if they had left their respective clubs for a top European club.

On another note, if we can't get Reus, Felipe Anderson would be a strong alternative.

Totti would have won the ballon d'or at least once if he had played for one of the European giants, that much I'm sure of.

I like Florenzi a lot. The Roma fans have christened him the new Simone Perrotta apparently. Parts of his game reminds me a little bit of Ramsey, maybe. Versatile player.

Morata with the winner against Inter today, a few days after knocking out Real Madrid in Champions League. Two very poachy goals.

Mirth

His celebration was fantastic. I want him at Arsenal just for that.

That winner was due to a huge clanger from Handanovic

He always have those in his game, lapse of concentration. Really gone downhill since 2 seasons ago.

Klaus

He really hasn't. He's solid as a rock usually.

It's poor keeping at the Morata goal, but the shot is deflected off a defender. Throws him off it completely.

Klaus

Domenico Berardi with a hattrick against Milan. Love that guy. Can we just buy him already?

Gunner89

Looks great Berardi!

Klaus

The second goal was class. Good run and then a confident finish with the outside of the left boot at the far post. Might have been an inch offside but it doesn't really matter. The defender was never going to catch him.

I think I said this in another thread too, but there's an opportunity here. Juve just bought Dybala. They've got Morata, Llorente and Tevez too. Offer them good money for Berardi and see what happens. He's a complete talent in my opinon. When he doesn't make runs in behind the defence he's poaching goals, banging in freekicks with both feet, or hitting 60 yard assists to his teammates. There's a lot of a young van Persie in him. Only thing he doesn't seem to like is playing with his back against the goal.

That's all well and good but what about his wages?

Clrnc

That finish is top notch. Why is the keeper not coming out to close him down though?

Alfonso

That clip looks like it's from USA 94.

How has Hernanes been this season?? I used to think he would be a great option for Ramsey.

He's been hot and cold this season. Think of most the Inter fans have said his general play has been lacking, but delivers goals and assists.
Recently scored two against Lazio and said, "it was the saddest backflip of my career".
I think he's been mainly effective as a trequarista, but we're loaded for that position.

lorddulaarsenal

That is the saddest back flip I've ever seen

Clrnc

Klaus love him and Cuadrado so much in the past, and still probably do now.

Klaus

Yeah, Hernanes is great. I think he's suffering partly because Inter are so poor, partly because he's been moved forward a bit in the field. Their 4-3-1-2 system is a bit unconventional and, to my mind, doesn't suit him.

He's 30 in a few days, but I wouldn't mind taking a punt at him if Arteta leaves this summer. He's a similar player in a lot of ways, but quicker.

The 4-3-1-2 brings back memories...of when Mancini just instructed to hit long balls to Ibra and let him do everything and Maicon was the second most creative outlet!

Rex

Mancini has had Zlatan as a player?
