New Guy, Same As The Old Guy

By: chris | June 30th, 2008

Daniele De Rossi inked his long awaited extension today until 2012 and now falls under the “Roman + Vincenzo Montella” salary cap, not just the cap. Hallelujah. Everyone needs a homegrown maniacal defensive mid.

And now with the Euros over, thank the good Buddha, full service will resume for July. Appreciate the patience. And with July being tomorrow, I’m taking the evening to crash.

Less than two months until game time…start dreaming of the Holy Romans again.

    Damn it Stefan, by now we know that you don’t want Mutu. You sound like a broken record by now.

    Roma want 15 for Mancini, Inter only wants to go to 13. Damn it just sell him and cash in that 13.

    Can we at least get someone from outside of the UK?

    I mean, FSC has 1 killer announcer who can speak Italiano and knows everyone.

    The rest of them suck, but can we at least get someone with Mediteranean blood in there to say a few words?

    However it would be cool for Roma to take a cat like Sheva on loan!

    I say we take full ownership of Obinna and 10 million. Obinna is worth more than 3 for sure. If he’s a dud we can offload him for more next season.

    I think making our transfer plans public is just disgusting and is probably the reason Inter don’t want to spend much. They know that if we can get enough money for Mancini we will pool it together and get a big star like Huntelaar or Mutu and they don’t want that.

    I think Obinna and one of Guiza/Baptista/Mutu/Huntelaar/Gomez/Iaquinta/etc… would be fine if we can’t afford anything else. I would still prefer 2 of the big guys we are looking at to Obinna.

    I also think that bringing back Okaka, Cerci, Rosi or Andreolli is a big mistake right now unless we make no new signings. They won’t get any playing time. Rosi might as a backup to Taddei (if Giuly leaves) and Okaka and Cerci will only play if we get nobody new.

    Would be a good idea if they sold mancini already for 13m,giuly if he wants to go back to france sell for 3m and Brighi for 5m (even though he helps abit in this club).Then we would have enought money to buy a great striker and hey even Obinna too.If only Roma had sold Esposito we would have more cash.Johnny I dont care how many times I have to say it no mutu,I …. … lol.

    She is below average and I wouldn’t touch her with a ten foot poll, anywhere near a bed or jacuzzi.

    Per mio that is.

    I will take this oone instead.

    I just checked with the Meadowlands and they still have no word on whether Inter-Roma will be played there on 08/24. This is actually getting kind of annoying at this point…shouldn’t this be confirmed one way or another soon?!

    Alessio, what are you thinking man? She looks like a retarded cancer patient who is getting their wish of playing on a soccer team…Her face is sooo butch too. her cheek structure reminds me of Conan, the viking.

    I wouldn’t touch that if my hand was cursed and I could turn her into gold…yuk.
