Adriano set to sign with Roma

Adriano and Flamengo confirmed that he is leaving the club and that he'll join AS Roma in the next 30 days.

He has had a mixed spell at Flamengo.  Initially arriving as the almight Emperor and promising titles, the player's disciplinary problems showed through quickly.  He missed 14 sessions of training alone in 2010.   What also didn't help was Flamengo's elimination from the Libertadores.

Let's hope he finds his top form in Rome.  He'll have to stop drinking (as he does regularly) and work his way back into the brazilian national team.  He surely has the technical and physical capabilities to be in top form again.
