Unwise dropping Roma's top forward (8)
I believe the answer is:
impudent
'forward' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impudent that I've seen before include "Audacious" , "impolite" , "Rude" , "orward" , "Impertinent, insolent" .)
