Mediocre Mercato Rumors

One, these rumors suck, so you’ve been forewarned. Two, system is upgrading really soon and I have to rush this out, which is probably a good thing considering how lame these rumors are. It’s a good thing they’re just rumors, and the lot of them were probably made up by a beat writer who was [...]

Possible Winger On The Way & Brief News Briefs
By: chris | 131 Comments
I was going to get all excited about the news that Roma may have a new wing phenom on the way until I read this little nugget:
The 23-year-old Ascoli star is a skilful dribbler with lightning movements, and he has earned the label in some circles as the ‘Cristiano Ronaldo of Serie B’.
“Well, [...]
Throttling Catania, Ludovicious & The King

Catania 1 v Roma 2
Formality over, and that’s precisely what it looked like: a formality. The game was as much terrible as it was painfully boring, especially towards the second half – at least for me. I’ve had more exciting prostate exams. And, quite frankly, it had the feel of a friendly. (Just like [...]

Gimme A Purple People Eater
I’d take Giampaolo Pazzini faster than you could say “Alberto Gilardino is a has been”. It was just one line in Gazzetta, they being the ever reliable ones, so it’s not much to get your hopes up over, but it fits, does it not? Another in the line of guys who [...]

Let’s Talk About Goals
I’ve lost all faith in logic – at least whatever was there to begin with. Two games after The Injury II, Roma is suffering from an acute and severe bout of efficiency.
Shots on goal: 14
Goals: 7
Scoring %: 50*
*(I used my trusted abacus on this one. Fret not, ’tis correct.)
How might one [...]
Let’s Talk About Relegation
By: chris | 267 Comments
Not Roma’s, stop crying. I’m talking about the potential clubs going down. I always find it nice to start circling in the waters, searching for blood at the expense of others’ misfortunes. Last summer our fair Giallorossi made a big splash in the wake of Messina’s relegation by taking back Edgar “Burritos” Alvarez from loan [...]

Get Outta Town
David Pizarro.:
I saw these “Pizaman to Athletico” rumors and immediately dismissed them, because the thought of Spal without David is like the thought of Linus without his blanket, Marcello Lippi without his cigar or Cristiano Ronaldo without his air of scumbaggishness (tis a word, per Webster). But some central midfielders started to pop [...]
Monday Matinee Midgetized Musings (On Wednesday, Because I Can)
By: chris | 234 Comments
Alright, it’s a little later than “matinee” – actually it’s Wednesday now – but life happens. A lot lately. Oh that dastardly life.
Roma 4 – Torino 1
I’d like to send a big vaffanculo to the good people who decided this game was unworthy of a stream. Listening to Zampa was a nice touch, though. Nothing [...]
Poll of the Indeterminate Amount of Time: Amantino

Alessandro Faiolhe Amantino Mancini
SportMedia, an outlet I have zero familiarity with (or I may and just not know it), seems to think Mr. Amantino has been in contact with Mr. Mancio and they’re all excited about getting the chance to work with each other next year. Oh, and Amantino might use his Webster ruling clause [...]

Who Wants A Vargas?
Pietro Lo Monaco, Catania’s sporting director, has been saying for quite some time now that when Juan Manuel Vargas gets sold, the preferred destination is Roma. Not really sure why, could be that he has a school-boyish crush on Mama Rosella, or could simply be that he’s an intelligent, well-reasoned man and [...]
