Espo
MAURO E’ 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 [...]

Venerdi Vitriol ! (and some Mercato musings)
By: Marco Stucazzo | 30 Comments
The Roman Derby was Lazio’s most important game of the season. Francesco Totti even laid flowers in front of the Curva Nord, purely because he’s classy. Add to that the fact that Lazio’s European ambitions ended a long time ago and the death of Gabriele Sandri and you have all the ingredients necessary for a [...]
Mercato Report Card

(If you’re sexy and you know it clap your hands)
Despite the relative lack of funds, Roma was one of the busiest clubs in Serie A during the summer, with a massive influx of players and the loss of only a couple players who may have fit into the squad this year. So here are the [...]
Ask & You Shall Receive: Vice-Tonetto Arrives

Going All Portuguese On Us:
In record breaking time, Rosella has actually taken less than 7 months to complete transfer negotiations, and it didn’t even take the impending deadline at like 11p on August 31st do it. This translates direct to: start stocking the basement with canned goods, bottled water and radioactive-proof Trojans. Apocalypse impending. Let’s [...]
Cicinho Arrives: Let the Ass Slaps Commence
By: chris | 46 Comments
Cicinho Arrives, Finally:
You sitting down? If not, sit down. Not there. There. Good? Cicinho is official. Yeah, that’s right. Official. After only four score and seven years, Rosella, whose closing ability has been replicated by Eric Gagne lately, has given The Grand Imperial Poobah his man. Let the man crush and ass slaps begin.
Considering the [...]
Chivu Official & Already Long Forgotten (Plus More Kit Pics)
By: chris | 80 Comments
Gettin’ Down To Business:
So, we finally got the Chivu and Marco Andreolli particulars, which break down like this:
Chivu: €16m total, paid over three year increments by Moratti, as well as the proceeds of a friendly (one would assume to be played next summer)
2007/08 – €6m
2008/09 – €5m
2009/10 – €6m*
* – At which point Chivu [...]
Andreolli, Modesto & Buckets of Freshly Printed Banknotes

(Just thought I’d keep things mature)
* – This deal isn’t official, but I think it’s fair to say Chivu is on the out very very soon. The details are obviously subject to change, but I’ve had enough of this whole mess. Prade and Cristina Mazzoleni just left Trigoria together, so who knows what that means. [...]
Chivu Sold: @#$%in’ Finally

Chivugate Ovah:
It’s not official yet, but it’s done, and I would assume Inter’s website will announce it shortly. As we all know, Roma takes care of official announcements whenever they damn well feel like it.
After two hours of negotiations today, Rosella and Moratti finally came to an agreement over the transfer of Chivu to the [...]
Roma Acquires French Pocket Rocket
By: chris | 26 Comments
Roma Goes Frenchy:
(Before I go ahead and make it official – everybody cool with officially calling him ‘The Pocket Rocket’? Because he’s small, he’s fast and he’ll undoubtedly give us short bursts of pleasure. Get back to me.)
So, it looks fairly official, after the on-and-off rumors between Barcelona and Roma, Ludovic Giuly will be announced [...]
Espo Done & Chivu Imminent? No @#$%ing Way
By: Chris | 44 Comments
Roma Signs Goal-Scoring Winger!:
No, not that one. Roma pseduo-kinda-sorta-definitely-maybe landed right winger Mauro Esposito (that’s him to the left, holding hands with some dude), but it looks officially official. Officially. One of the very few offensive shining lights at Cagliari (read: Esposito & Suazo), Esposito is a right-winger with awesome pace and a very good [...]
