Summer’s Over? Already?:
The summer for the boys is technically over at midnight tonight and they head to Trigoria for yet another awkward and tumultuous pre-season, thanks to our very own Romanian defender extraordinaire, He Who Shall Not Be Named (abbr. to HWSNBN). In case you missed Luciano Spalletti’s interview with Sky Sports yesterday, here it […]
The Predictions (Cue Melodramatic Music)

After all that here’s how I think the summer will play out. If you still value my opinion enough to read this, I don’t know what to tell you. I’m not really sure I value it much anymore.
In summation, how do I expect the summer to turn out? Very very creatively. The suspects:

The Serie A season is now over and Roma can consider it a success. Next year they will take part in the Champions League group stage and defend their Coppa Italia championship, as well as undoubtedly compete for their fourth Scudetto.
