Lots of Lunedì Leftovers

where-you-going.jpg

You ain’t goin’ nowhere Aqui !

Black, Blue and Aquilani.

I’ll deal with Aquilani situation. It’s a little too e Sensitive a subject for Chris to tackle. I mean it would be like a surgeon operating on his own kid! Your judgement can be too impaired if you’re too emotionally involved. We don’t want Chris to say some words he might regret in the future…

First things first, Alberto Aquilani is NOT going to Inter!

These little words prompted a media frenzy and stroke panic in the hearts of all Giallorossi. Let’s all calm down !

This is what Alberto said :

“Penso e credo che firmerò il rinnovo con la Roma - ha detto il romano - anche se per il futuro non si sa e, lo ammetto, qualche volta mi è capitato di immaginare come starei nel centrocampo di Mancini: è un allenatore che mi stima e la cosa mi fa piacere”.

*I think i’m going to renew my contract, even if you can’t predict the future. It happened to me to imagine how I would fit in Mancini’s Midfield. I’m glad The Inter coach thinks I’m good.

Hell, I could imagine myself in Inter’s midfield. I see myself now; handling balls in my own penalty area all the time. He starts off by saying he thinks he’s going to renew his contract. This is just some media overhypation because there’s nothing else to talk about during the International break but papers and Goal.com still need to sell ads.

Anyway, Alberto’s contract doesn’t expire for another 2 years; we can take it easy for now. If Alberto changes his agent for the Becali brothers, then we can start freaking out.
This is what he told Romanews.eu today that : Aho!, who’s going where ?

More precisely ; “Vado via da Roma? Macché, sono solo voci”.

I think Rosella said it best when she declared:

”Non siamo disposti a trattare Aquilani. E’ nostro e resterà con noi”

Wich pretty much means, Moratti you and your checkbook should lust over someone else. Aquilani’s ours biotch !

Inter can’t grow talent to save their lives, Moratti must be a shitty gardener. That don’t mean you need to come and piss off the teams who grow incredible homegrown stuff,
Oil money can’t buy everything Massimo, so go purchase Gerrard, Lampard or Quaresma, but please fuck off! !

Some people cough, channel4 cough, have said that even Luciano Spalletti lashed out at Alberto in the media.

Here’s what Spalletti really said;

Noi vogliamo calciatori che abbiano senso di disponibilità, la volontà del calciatore è fondamentale, la possibilità di andare avanti con la Roma e di giocare dipendono molto dalla volontà del giocatore e se qualcuno ha altre velleità si ascolteranno le ragioni di tutti. E’ un problema economico? Credo che l’ingaggio di Aquilani non sfori il tetto d’ingaggi stabilito dalla società”.

*The desire of a player is important to us. It depends of Aquilani, if he has that desire. Because I don’t think it’s an economical problem, our salary cap is adequate for Aquilani’s talent

What Spal was trying to say is that he’s pissed off at all this anteing up done through the media. He hates the fact that Agents use the Media to up prices and get better contract offers for their clients because of silly speculation. I think this summers Chivu situation was one too many for him.

Speaking of Chivu-esque situations: Seems like Ferrari saw the bench against Reggina because the guy won’t sign. Spalletti’ll treat him like he did with Cassano before he left, to not play him until he signs or until all the CB’s (including Cassetti and Panucci, unless they’re hit with the bubonic plague and leprosy, respectively) Anyways, I hear Jéremie Mathieu would gladly play your position better but for a cheaper price. You’re not getting Mexes money dumb ass!

Simone Perrotta wants that raise he was promised: Looks like Simone Perrotta was pissed at being a late sub for the Reggina match after starring (ok maybe not starring, but he played good) in the Italy game. He passed by the Roma front offices today to remind them that they promised him a little pay increase. Simone isn’t being an Ass, he’s just reminding his employer of that raise he was promised, like any normal under appreciated employee should do . I hope my boss is reading this!

Don’t Forget to Vote for the Offside, Roma and Chris in the Soccer Internet Blog Oscars

here’s the link for the link ! Vote en masse people !

No Richarlyson :

The (do not insert inappropriate joke here) Brazilian midfielder won’t be coming to Roma after all. He has sworn eternal love to Sao Paolo, and vows to honour her for better or worst!

Alessio Cerci scored a brace for Pisa this weekend, he even did the Taddei heart beat celebration! The young Romanista has now scored 10 goals in Serie B this season.

at the 40 second Mark, he gets Pisa Merda’s 1st and 3rd …

This kid has had a complete turnaround compared to his time in Brescia laste year. Is he ready to come back to Roma next year?

Chi cresce nel settore giovanile della Roma sogna di tornare a Trigoria prima o poi. Bisogna valutare se la società mi vuole davvero. Solo a quel punto potremmo parlare del mio futuro. So che sarebbe difficile ritagliarmi uno spazio nella squadra di Spalletti, vista la grande quantità di campioni che ci sono. Ora devo solamente aspettare

And wait we will, but I’m pretty positive Luciano Spalletti, Pradè and Bruno Conti will want to have a long look at the youngster during next season’s training camp.

Mancini contract negotiations looking good:

“Sul rinnovo del contratto ci stiamo lavorando. Ciò che manca sono soltanto alcuni dettagli che vanno inseriti nelle clausole. Credo e spero che tutto si risolverà nel minor tempo possibile”

Amantino has declared that almost everything is done for his contract. The GialloRossi and Mancini only need to work out little clauses and it should be done soon. Let’s hope all of this is true. Being a fan of Livorno, have come to be used to the Management and the players liying their asses off. But I get the feeling Mancini is serious

Funny how in half a season I went from screaming ”Move your lazy fuckin’ ass, Mancini!” to ”That’s it Amantino, Run at the Defence!”. Must be that girl Manuela Arcuri hooked him up with. I guess, this confirms that Mancini plays his best when he’s getting regular sex.

Forza Ragazzi, In Bocca al Lupo !

    I think Gabrielle has already accepted defeat with her comment that even if shit hits the fan you’ll all still support.

    you said that you are a Bologna supporter, a team that plays in Serie B. I see that you are on top of the table and wish you all the best for qualification. Surely you understand that life in Serie A will not be a walk in a park and your team will have to fight hard to even stay up. I am sure if shit hits the fan you’ll still support them. I dont see that as a defeated attitude but more of having a character.

    I truly believe we have shot at beating Real. Champions league football is like city derbies… anything can happen (good and bad, like Lyon and MU).

    FORZA ROMA!

    PS: when Inter gets dubious penalty against Bologna next season… come around here, we can hate Inter together ;)

    Aquilani is under contract until 2010, so he’s not going anywhere at least until after next season. But money talks: unless the kid improves, Roma are not going to offer him as much money as Inter will, regardless of whether he is Romano e Romanista.

    As to the Ferrari-to-Milan news, I’m skeptical of anything Luca Fallica writes. The rumor was that Ferrari already had a deal in place with Juve. I’m just hoping Milan doesn’t get serious about going after Mexes.

    Traian and others:
    Given what Totti just said I thought I’d repost something I posted on another blog the other. It was in response to an Inter blog:

    I’d like to point out a few things Interistas will hear for years to come. Call them asteriks.
    1. ****2005-06 scudetto: A. “It’s a courtroom title. You finished 15 points off the pace and didn’t win it on the pitch. It means nothing.” B. You’ll say, “We deserve it because we accumulated the most points without cheating.” C. Everyone else will say: “Whatever. Inter’s hands are stained somewhere along the line. You just didn’t get caught.”
    2. ****2006-07 Scudetto: A. “This is a title on paper only. Juve were not in the league. Other sides, most importantly Milan, carried the burden of a points reduction.” B. You’ll say, “We finished 22 points ahead of second place Roma. Milan’s deduction was only 8 points and they were way, way further off the pace than that.” Everyone else will say: “The scandal cast a pall over Serie A and the level of play was diminished as a result. Teams reeling from point deductions and key personnel departures are not at their best. These off-the-pitch factors contributed as much to Inter’s title as on-the-field ones. Oh, and again, there was no Juve.”
    3. ****2007-08 Scudetto: A. Yes, you’ll win it. And here you’ll say, “Ha. This one is legit. There was no points deductions and Juve was in the league.” B. Everyone else will say, “This title is rooted in an advantage gained as a result of the scandal. Inter became superior, at least partly, because of calciopoli. Juve and Milan lost top-shelf stars (Ibra, Canna; Sheva) and Inter added star-power as they rode the somewhat dubious wave of being Italy’s ‘clean team.’ These non-football factors created a perfect storm of conditions for Inter to become champs. It would be a real embarassment to you if you didn’t win given all that help, including that which you received from referees.”
    Winning the Champions League might erase the 2007-08 asteriks. But I’d wager that Liverpool is going to find you guys out and you won’t make it to the quarters.
    Finally, this Inter squad will go down as one of the most disliked and controversial teams in Serie A history and that’s saying a lot.

    mc italian, that makes no sense. You are just listing excuses about why Inter have won. Just leave it alone man they won and thats that, we should be ashamed of ourselves last year for ending up 22 points behind inter, I mean yeah if it applies to intr that the competiton was weeker then it should apply to us aswell, we had a great team and still could nto walk away with the scudetto. So just leave it alone man.

    and ben! nice to have a nemesis here on the blog! welcome! you are welcome to post all the hate mail you want!

    Tell Perrotta he can have his raise when he starts scoring goals. God willing this is the time we sell that fucking match-loser and get a proper replacemente (Mutu, Rosina, or anyone who isn’t on a wheelchair).

    John,

    Thats a bit harsh, but I agree.

    I love Simo’s work ethic, and we need someone who can fill his defensive shoes.

    But his finishing is god awful. And for all the counter’s he starts, he finishes about 30% of them.

    why is there talk of Bologna on this site. If u are not aware this is a Roma site, no one here wants to hear about Bologna.

    Inter lovers i understand why ur here like everything related to inter ur shitt is too boring. when roma plays people wanna watch, when inter plays we just wait for the replays to see what messed up thing the reffs “missed” when inter scored.

    forza roma

    Perro deserves the money no matter his tally, keep in mind he is a natural defensive mid since birth once even a right back. He is fundamental for the group, the dressing room, a very big personality who everyone has great respect for. True, his role will decrease over the next few seasons but we need him in the mix 100%.

    Drool time.
