**Reader John Silver emailed me with what was originally a written discussion that transformed into, as he called it, “a bloody pamphlet”. A very good pamphlet that he touched up for a post which I’m more than happy to pass on to you. Enjoy.**
It is a safe bet to say that no Italian player has [...]

Prudence is a nice and wonderful virtue, one which typically promotes long-term success, but it’s also boring as all hell. While the hierarchy and technical staff is furiously assessing certain targets for quality, value and feasibility, the daily news blotter has become a standardized quote from agents with a simple change of name and club.
“My [...]

Now that Project Mutu is on life support - it’ll be over when he actually inks the contract, til then there is much that could change - it’s time to look around for plans B through Q. David Silva and Florent Malouda have been mentioned, but they look about as likely as Simone Perrotta netting [...]

Steaua 3 - Roma 1
Everybody ready to celebrate? Because last year the boys were absolutely pitiful in the preseason before notching a win in the SuperCoppa and starting off the year with five straight clean sheets. These games mean nothing aside from any injuries which may occur and even if they did, they were only [...]

Steaua v Roma
I don’t do double takes. In fact, I can count on one hand the number I’ve done in my life. Well today I did about seven: Totti’s in the list for tomorrow. Today was his return to the field and he didn’t finish out the day, so this is fairly surprising to say [...]

I lied. My actual vacation was anything but, as I disembarked to Rome so that Rosella and I could come to an accord on a laundry list of issues, some of which pertained to the current mercato. I’ll catch you guys up to speed quickly on the important stuff and then we can be on [...]

Dude. Adrian Mutu.
Before we get carried away with dreams of a MutuVuci partnership in front, punching holes in stripe-wearing defenses left and right courtesy of hot, fresh, perfectly-baked service from the feet of The Totti, let’s take stock of the facts things that are most likely true:

Finally, someone who Prade might actually *hear* has spoken, and the good news is that he agrees with us:
“If we want to compete with Inter, Milan and Juventus, we need at least two more important players. At the moment, we are the fourth strongest in Serie A.”

So what do we know at this point anyway? Not friggin’ much, to be honest.
While we’re waiting for news to break, here’s a quick rundown to kill some time:
We’re day two post-Mutufest, and Baptista is still *the* target, it would seem. At the time of my last post, La Gazzetta was speculating that The [...]

As some of us have noted, actual, concrete news has been in short supply lately, leaving us to roam the dark alleys of the calcio “media” (if you want to call it that) looking for something real to sink our collective teeth into.
Well, to be honest, I’m kind of tired of it. (Shocker, I know.)
