    Ok, I am sorry for underestimating him. I just don’t follow Betis. In Spain I just watch Barca and sometimes Real and Valencia (because of Villa). And if Juanito is a Spanish international player then he must be real class. He sounds as the most adequate replacement for Panu.
    P.S. Also he is younger ;)

    Is Tonetto our only injury right now?
    Wow what a difference a new medical staff brings.

    Ciao Romanisti!!!

    It is a shame to see GOMR go. I thought he would have stayed with the giallorossi forever and eventually moved into management.

    Panucci is not a stranger to heated disagreements with either teammate or allenatore. I remember his riff with Marcello Lippi when they were at Inter. It cost GOMR a world cup winners medal.

    His brother claims his insubordination was due to Roma not offering a contract renewal, but who knows the whole truth. Maybe GOMR’s ego got the best of him again.

    Good aerial ability for Juanito as well. I don’t know how Spanish defenders would fare in Serie A though. As Cannavaro has complained about, their style of play is very attacking and the defenders might not be used to rigid systems.

    Tonetto has been called up for the Palermo game. So even he might be healthy. Only Panucci and Montella are out.

    The third CB problem is without question our biggest concern.

    Let’s bundle Loria, Shit-cinho, and GOMR together and steal William Gallas before the Champions League tie!!!

    We’ll have all of Wenger’s secrets!!

    I hear ya, Bashar!! There’s not much out there on the mercato on our budget.

    Let’s hope Crockett and Tubbs hold out for rest of the season.

    The next three fixtures are essential, though. Two champions league six pointers in Palermo and Genoa, and what should be a three points in the bag match against Reggina.

    Third place is not out of the question.

    I’d rather buy Wenger as a back up CB than Gallas…
    Hahhahaha.

    Umm, forget Juanito, we need some Mathieu.

    E2, actually no on elives in reality, we all live delusional lives thinking we are living better lives that we have and lieying to ourselves about our future just to make if through the day…

    So I don’t think its wrong for us to dream about Samuel or other class players since its the only think keeping us alive, just like you dream about class players to your prefered club…

    peace!

    also, im on the Samuel bandwagon, we are in a position were we can afford to bring him home and I am sure he would be happy to come back and show us why we remember him like we do. He is still me favorite CB

    It is an unfortunate situation that has evolved with Panucci. Whether it is pride or the lack of a contract offered by sensi is all pure conjecture. What is a fact is that Christian was a great soldier for us over the years and played a 100% for the jersey which makes this turn of events so hard to accept. Who could forget the crucial goals, not just in the giallorosso, but also in the azzurri blue. We are truly fucked if Juan or Mexes go down with an injury. pray that it doesn’t happen for the next 5 months becuase without CP’s experience and now w. ferrari plying his trade at Genoa, Spalletti will be forced to use that wunderkid Loria, or perhaps a primavera player.

    I’m sorry… but how old are we on this blog. If E2 is a regular on this blog and someone just “pretending” for shits and giggles – he TRULY disserves to be shot. I mean GROW THE FUCK UP nad stop this shit. Its a pain in the ass, and obviously i’m not the only one to think so. Jesus Christ can people just get over their closet identities – you’re acting like 12 year olds! Can Chris PLEASE check who this E2 guy is. I know I could just ignore it, but its a pain having to scroll through posts of bad ebonics and WOOP WOOP, just because some idiots bored.
