Tuesday Trivia: Transfer Trail, Y2k Edition

Transfers (and transfer rumors) are the meat and potatoes of the modern-day football journalism industry, and I suppose sites like ours as well. In fact, a simple search for Roma transfer rumors is what brought me to this site nearly 20 years ago. While the Roma sides of the early 2000s certainly weren’t bereft of talent, even the calcio Lord almighty himself, Francesco Totti, couldn’t deliver the Giallorossi to the promised land alone.

And whether it was Adrian Mutu or Lukas Podolski piquing my interest, feasting on transfer rumors drew me deeper into the Romaverse. While the club never landed those white whales, I fell madly in love with players orbiting Totti and Daniele De Rossi: Marco Motta, Mirko Vucinic, Marco Cassetti, Simone Perrotta, John Arne Riise, Cicinho and even Simone Loria.

So, for today’s Tuesday Trivia, we’re going to test your transfer knowledge on some of our favorite Y2K stars. Each question will show the respective players’ transfer trail to and from Roma. We tried to limit the clues this time, so good luck! (And since this remains a work in progress, feedback is definitely appreciated and welcomed.)
