Daniele De Rossi inked his long awaited extension today until 2012 and now falls under the “Roman + Vincenzo Montella” salary cap, not just the cap. Hallelujah. Everyone needs a homegrown maniacal defensive mid.
And now with the Euros over, thank the good Buddha, full service will resume for July. Appreciate the patience. And with [...]

Espo
MAURO Eā TUTTO NOSTRO!!!!!!!!
Yeah! So who saw that coming?
Put your hand down, Pinocchio. Yes, co-ownerships were supposed to be resolved, but I certainly did not expect Massimo Cellino to wake up to his morning Folger’s and think, “hey, I might just like to get bent over by Roma today”. Obviously Espo’s greatest performance came during [...]

Love that headline from il Romanista. Yes. Yes he is. Vucigol is 100% Roman to the tune of ā¬12m. Let the legend continue.
Mercato Time Galore: Another Imminent Signing?

Just wanted to get this out there so I can kinda maybe sorta keep on top of something during the Euros for a change (apologies, but you know).
In case you missed it, there’s been a flood of news from Australia saying that Harry Kewell to Roma is imminent, and he’ll eschew Valencia for the chance [...]

John Arne-t I The Guy Who Scores Own Goals Riise
Details later, still have no idea how I feel about this one. On one hand, what I’ve seen is hardly impressive. On the other, he’s a versatile player on the left with one overwhelming quality. This one:

Didn’t register until long after I’d read the rumor that Lippi may be coming back. And regardless of whether or not you believe the validity of the rumor, most will admit it’s a strong possibility. Lippi’s said many times the door is open, and so hasn’t someone else…
Will he? Say it’s so.

Rumor is: David Suazo to Rome along with 4m in salary payments (1m over the course of 4 years to keep his salary below the cap) for one uninspired, lackadaisical, inconsistent but gifted Brazilian winger. Mancini’s agent has been given the go ahead to discuss terms with the ladies in black & blue, which leads [...]

First of all, apologies for abandoning this here space. As you may or may not know Roberto Donadoni is fucking with my sanity the European Championships are happening. And if you didn’t get the memo about the Euros….you lucky bastard.
I’m out of the Roman loop at the moment. I find myself checking news every [...]

Midfield: Roma’s bread and butter. Really a mixed bag though this year, when you think about it. Between injuries and players out of form (coughbrazilianwingerscough), they really did well making up the difference in other areas despite having their best area far from optimal at times. Of course, there were days when Daniele De Rossi [...]
