THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

Most misleading headline...

I forgot about the midweek game.

I see Man Shitty are supposed to be interested in Pizarro. A bit odd, seeing as we were able to get him because Mancini didn't get the best out of him.

[RomaShield27]

Wow, sad to see Pizarro go. Its clear LE was never keen on him and doesn't think he fits, but never would have though Man Shitty would be a destination for him. Thats a bit fucked up. I can't see him getting much playing time there.

After this Pizzaro move – if it is indeed confirmed, I think all that is holding it up now is Pizza getting a work permit – apparently Baldini said that "there will be no more surprises", so we'll see if thats true.

RomaNews are running a speciale mercato madness updates: http://www.romanews.eu/2012/01/31/speci ... si-chiude/

[RomaShield27]

Supposedly the new was meant to be live today from 15:00 CET. Still the old one for me.

Here's a sneak preview from FB, not sure if its the official thing, but still looks a bit shite to me:

[AS Collie]

[RomaShield27]

Communication could improve alright. gives more info on whats expected:

"Today the new website of AS Roma will be previewed to the press online starting at 15.00 and 24 hours later for all to see. The company has heavily invested in it in order to make it more modern and accessible in the best way to fans. There will be many new features: the publication of photos and videos in real-time as well as news gathered from other sites around the world, online games, merchandising and buying material via the Internet. You can book a guided tour of Trigoria at a cost of €50. There are also some blogs where players will respond to the fans."

So its probably not live for us minions until this time tomorrow. A guided tour of Trigoria sounds cool, although €50 is a bit bleedin steep wha.

of Luis Enrique this morning, interesting bit on Marquinho:

"I think he is an interesting player because he can play four positions: he can play interno (inside midfield), he can play as trequartista, as well as terzino (full-back), as well as a punta. We need to look at him to know his true level. But he'll be an interesting player for us."

So sounds like he's going to be a bit of a Mr versatile for us. He can do a job. Interesting that he said "as well as full-back", which suggests he's not a natural full-back and so not quite the solution to that left-back role.

De Rossi and Pjanic are also likely to miss tomorrows game.

[RomaShield27]

Simone Sini to Livorno. He was on loan with Bari for the first half of this season but wasn't getting much playing time I believe, so now he's moved to Livorno on loan with an option to buy half at the end of the season.

Bocchetti's agent claims there's been for his client, but probably just BS. He's a player I'd very much welcome for the future of our defence.

--------------------

v Cagliari: Pjanic in, DDR out (+ Cici, Cassetti, Osvaldo, Burdisso). And Pizarro

[forzaitalia]

Pretty gutted about Pizarro. Classy player.

[RomaShield27]

Ay, its a shame alright. Don't think its official yet, the mercato is closed in Italia but stays open for a few more hours in the Premiershit, so still time for it to happen.

The new Roma site is working, but not under http://www.asroma.it. Its all ready to go but they have to change the DNS of it which can take a while, but it is accessible here:

http://72.3.208.113/

First impressions are, design-wise, it could have been a lot better, looks a bit thrown together in the middle (plus the banner is shit), but functionally, it looks like we've finally got a proper official website. Although there's no proper 'UK English' option.

[p_maldini_3]

lol they just ripped off the milan website.

[DCGweez]

Lol I think that's your neurosis. You find Milan in everything.

Go look at Chelsea's website. They are all the same.

Candreva: "De Rossi il mio modello, Totti il mio idolo"



GASPORT - Questo uno stralcio di un'intervista rilasciata alla rosea da Antonio Candreva nei passaggi relativi al suo rapporto con la Roma e con i suoi idoli.
"Mi ricordo la faccia di Daniele De Rossi, il mio giocatore modello, negli spogliatoio dell'Olimpico. Lui ha appena perso con noi, il Livorno, ultimo in classifica. Io vorrei la sua maglia che, però in campo, era tutta strappata. Mi aspetta sulla porta e me ne dà una nuova. Per me, romano e romanista, è qualcosa di incredibile.. Il mio idolo? Francesco Totti, ancora uno dei migliori. Amo il talento. infatti anche Cassano mi fa impazzire."

Hilarious

[p_maldini_3]

it's true love.

[edge_xeno]

So in the summer i said i that our untouchable players are Totti, De Rossi, Mexes, Menez, Vucinic, Borriello, D.Pizarro & Burdisso... and we must build our team around them.

Hmmmm, So only Totti & De Rossi are still here? also Burdisso but out for the season! Thats not good fellas!

Forza Roma
