By Musab | January 26th, 2008I was filled with joy this morning after I saw Feldkamp's press conference. He has flat out stated that he might leave if the board does not make any new tranfers. YES!!!!!! The old fart is gonna leave without us doing anything!!!! Oh wait, we just bought
Silly Season In Full Swing, Baby
By chris | December 18th, 2007Ridiculous stories abound. Also, in doing homepage stuff for the weekend, I noticed a few of Roma's transfer targets looking quite good, so it's time to bring em back, plus a few of the newbies which have come off the presses. Outgoing iTunes™

Season Preview: Midfielders
By chris | August 23rd, 2007Midfield, the bread and butter of Luciano Spalletti's 4-2-3-1 attacking system. One of those systems where the players fit the system, not vice versa, a lot of guys on the squad can fill in adequately at a few position. Essentially divided into two differ
Start Lining Up The Fullbacks
By chris | August 6th, 2007French Revelation: So Roma have taken to France to try and fill up those gaping fullback slots. But guess which one. No really. Guess. Yup. That Guy (c'est magnifique). Anthony Réveillère of Lyon. The man etched in the minds of Roma fans for life for

Slow, Slow Saturdays (and some somersaults)
By Gianni | August 4th, 2007And you wonder why I want Obinna... we need a guy with such acrobatic capabilities on our team don't you think? I mean, it's come down to getting Victor or teaching Pazzini to do somersaults. Think about that for a second or two... Obinna? I though
Much Ado About Squadoosh
By chris | August 2nd, 2007Uh, apparently Ahmed eats his spinach. I haven't seen trunks like that on an athlete outside of an American football player. He has to strike fear into everybody who sees him going in for a tackle. This also means we need to come up with a nickname fo
Back In The Saddle Again
By chris | July 23rd, 2007I'm back, Roma's back. Whether or not that's a good thing is another issue. Keeping it short and sweet today, but we'll be back and running at full-throttle tomorrow. Totti Bids Adieu To The Azzurri: I heard it, but I don't think he's done for

Bobo, Bojinov & Disappointment Galore
By chris | July 10th, 2007After I wrote this Daniele Prade issued a statement saying they are not interested in Bojinov, which makes it all the more legitimate. Remember the official denials for Juan and Esposito? Now they're both Giallorossi. I'm just saying. I'm giving it a litt

Totti Says: "Pollice Verso"
By chris | July 1st, 2007Pollice Verso: So that Totti character is giving a diplomatic but none-too-subtle thumbs down to Roma's current transfer situation. When asked about the acquisitions of Juan, Ahmed Barusso and Mauro Esposito (I have no clue if it's a done deal or not -

A Preview Of @#$% Hitting The Fan
By Chris | June 21st, 2007Updates: Stop the presses. Juan is official! Holy crap this came out of nowhere. The official number is €6.3m, great deal considering his quality and the original numbers had it between €8-9m. Also, it looks like Roma bought all of Vucinic, just in

I'm Like The People Magazine Of AS Roma
By Chris | June 12th, 2007I've come to terms with it, and I'm somewhat OK with it. I'm pretty sure I've never read a People magazine, though I may have flipped through one in a doctor's office while waiting to cough. But I have a decent idea what they're about, and I think that's
