THE WOLF'S DEN - Tana dei Lupi II

[Lupa]

Not to worry. We have another teenager from South America signed up.

Can't say that I'm all that disappointed to see Borini leave. I've mentioned before that I wasn't really a fan of him. I was hoping that aquilani would have been included in the deal though.

[RomaShield27]

Yeh Romawi, Im not all that disappointed to see him go either, although it does make me want to scratch my balls with a pitchfork at the fact that we're selling him to the fucking Scum and that we're doing more dirty fucking business with them. I will never accept doing any sort of deals with that club and curse the lot of them.

Lupa, I presume you meant to add them quotes outside the quote box?! That looks like Greco with his head back, no doubt contemplating if he should stay or go. Osvaldo looks like more of a tool the more photos I see of him. I hope Zeman is secretly slapping the shit out of him in training to get him in line.

[DCGweez]

Borini is a good bit of business. I wish he was a S. American and not Italian though. But almost 5 mill for a kid on a 3 month scoring streak ain't bad.

My concern is why Ozvaldo seems attached to Totti's hip in each and every picture. If it were Taddei I'd be very concerned.

[Lupa]

Shield - no, I meant to add the text with each image, I guess I should have done separate quote boxes. Too much work.

I'm convinced that Osvaldo is beside Totti all the time because he knows cameras will always find Totti.

Or perhaps because he's "un uomo spogliatoio"? So here: http://www.ilromanista.it/le-ultime-dai ... lasse.html

I suspect he's a bit brighter and more of a character than most of the pussies who are professional footballers these days; that doesn't mean he's not also a cheesily knob.

What is "un uomo spogliatoio"? A well-dressed man? Or a politically correct term for a poofter?

Apparently Borini is in Liver-pool (city of) for his medical.

Zeman Q&A. When asked about Borini, all he replied was: "For me he is a good player, we hope to replace", which doesn't answer much.

Just read that Destro article. Why are we always doing these complex deals? It's obnoxious. This time next year will be wringing our hands while it goes to envelopes.

I'm guessing the Americans want it that way.

[Italiamia]

I think you all have your heads up your proverbial your asses when it comes to Borini. Here is what Caretaker 'said':

Borini plays with his head down; the Premiershite will suit him. It's hard to develop the game of such players, though. Bradley, by contrast, plays with his head up.

ror.

Right on. Borini sporini. Forza Destro.

[loazzi]

Gianni, why do you consider ZZ a caretaker? I understand that he wasn't your first choice but he is the "Mister" for AT LEAST the year and he did sign a 2-year contract. How is that a "caretaker?" What has been CLEAR from all that he has said is that he has been wanting to come back to Roma to WIN. Nothing that I have heard or read implies "caretaker" in the least, according to how I understand "caretaker."

I do agree that all of these "prestito con diritto di riscatto, conta-riscatto, contra-contra-riscatto" and co-ownership deals are getting annoying. At the same time, I understand the approach of not spending ALL of your transfer kitty on one player when you have several holes to fill and this also giving time to properly evaluate the player before investing too much.
