Damn Right

By: vin | Comments 531 Comments

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.”
“I like Baptista and hope he does come to [...]

They Say That “Knowing is Half the Battle.”

By: vin | Comments 320 Comments

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 [...]

Introducing THE KRAKEN (and More Mercato Monotony)

By: vin | Comments 236 Comments

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.)
So, [...]

Mutaquintagliarelltista, & Other Sure Things

By: vin | Comments 637 Comments

Here’s the deal: I’m starting out with Mutu, *not* because it’s the biggest news, but because this ongoing drama irks me to no end, and I’d like to get it out of the way. Anyway, I’ll direct this right at the man himself, since we all know that he lurks around The Offside:

Did Somebody Say Mutu’s Definitely a No-Go?

By: vin | Comments 490 Comments

Well, If that’s the case, Il Capitano didn’t get the memo.

Apparently, when asked about the transfer market, he brought up the need for a striker, and in the next breath he extolled the virtues of none other than The Controversial Romanian (TCR) himself, Mr. Mutu. Don’t worry about it too much though; Il Capitano doesn’t [...]

Mercato: Who Needs A Striker? (Roma, That’s Who)

By: chris | Comments 303 Comments

Seems as though the three names being floated around the most these days are Adrian Mutu, Julio Baptista and Klaas Jan Huntelaar. Two of those would be fine, the third would probably force me into a recreation of William Foster. Love the summer mercato.

I’m not sure there’s a player in Serie A I [...]

Mercato Time Galore: Another Imminent Signing?

By: chris | Comments 257 Comments

Just wanted to get this out there so I can kinda maybe sorta keep on top of something during the Euros for a change (apologies, but you know).
In case you missed it, there’s been a flood of news from Australia saying that Harry Kewell to Roma is imminent, and he’ll eschew Valencia for the chance [...]

Mediocre Mercato Rumors

By: chris | Comments 53 Comments

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 | Comments 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

By: chris | Comments 738 Comments

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 [...]
