After all that here’s how I think the summer will play out. If you still value my opinion enough to read this, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not really sure I value it much anymore.
In summation, how do I expect the summer to turn out? Very very creatively. The suspects:
Departures:
Tavano – “Decidedly [...]

Part V: My Turn.
OK, maybe those fantasies.
First, let me send out my deepest gratitude to the fronts offices of Portsmouth and Juventus (hell froze over last night if you hadn’t noticed). Due to the impending deal of Muntari to Pompey and the possibility of Iaquinta switching one set of zebra stripes for another, the likelihood [...]

A few nuggets for today:
1. The front page of Il Romanista reports this morning of an offer from Internazionale. Nothing new, they have always coveted Roma players. What’s new here is the offer. And take to heart Il Romanista is the newspaper of AS Roma, they are incredibly reliable due to their relationship with the [...]
Summer Speculation: Incoming Defenders

Part IV – Defenders:
The future at RB is a priority (and it’s not Gilberto Martinez), Panucci is getting on in years, and though Cassetti has played well, he is not the long-term answer. Juan should push Chivu out to the left and Ferrari is a solid third defender. If he finally comes, Mathieu (listed in [...]

Part III – Midfielders:
It’s surprising that Roma have not been linked with more midfielders this summer, whereas they’ve been linked with every striker in and around Italy. Midfield is the area that could use the most improvement this summer, especially regarding the left side. The two “holding” midfielder (Spalletti calls it a 4-2-3-1 but it’s [...]

Part II: Forwards.
Here’s to Totti & Co. bringing early Christmas gifts to Rome in the middle of the summer (As if I needed to say this, but I’d love to get Megan Gale for Christmas. Santa, if you’re listening…). Most of these players won’t even get a whiff of the Giallorossi shirt. Considering Spalletti’s recent [...]
Summer Speculation: Departures

The Serie A season is now over and Roma can consider it a success. Next year they will take part in the Champions League group stage and defend their Coppa Italia championship, as well as undoubtedly compete for their fourth Scudetto. A few new faces are surely on the horizon, and it seems the Sensi [...]
Totti is King of Europe (For Now)
By: Chris | 2 Comments
Roma 4 – Messina 3
Totti (10, 73); Mancini (19); Rosi (83) – Rigano (9, 58); Cordova (76)
It’s hard to get excited with The Incredible Hulk, excuse me – Ruud van Nistelrooy, still on his rampage with two games left. But as of this moment, Francesco Totti is the leading scorer in Europe, with 26 goals [...]
Roma v Messina (Also: Totti v Europe)
By: Chris | 1 Comment
For anyone who saw the Cagliari game last weekend, expect this one to play out the same. The result doesn’t matter except for pride. Roma and Messina are at the same place on opposite ends of the table, 2nd from top and bottom, respectively. A win ensures Messina will finish their season out of last [...]
A Quick Memo to Barcelona

I just want to post a quick response to this utter piece of garbage.
I must have missed it because even Italian media wouldn’t stoop so low as to print such complete nonsense.
Daniele De Rossi is not for sale. He has never been for sale. He will never be for sale. He is a Giallorossi player [...]
