Previous clubs: Schaffhausen, FC Zurich, Aarau, Lazio
Signed: July 1996 (�4.9mil)
Roberto was Chelsea's record signing when he was purchased from Lazio for 4.9 million pounds in the summer of 1996. He can tackle toughly, pass superbly and can finish very well indeed. (just ask the 'Boro defense after 43 seconds at Wembley during the FA Cup Final 1997) He is classy, both on and off the field! He is now a significant part of the Chelsea jigsaw, even after 1 season at the Bridge. His style often compliments his Italian teammate Zola, with many passes linking together before a superb 30 yard bullet finish. I hope he stays at Chelsea for a number of years.
