De Rossi

[Swales4ever]

If you ask me, he wants to join us, but he thinks he owes something to Roma, so he is really in a 50/50 situation. From what i've heard, Mancio4ever can confirm it or not, Zeman isn't a fan of him and Totti and would prefere them out, to start to rebuilt Roma.

I think he isn't in Manchester, but the two clubs reached an agreement for the bid and his agent will negociate it.

The same goes with Sinclair. He was on the bench yesterday, then came in later on in the game.

can't confirm or deny it, mate.
Zeman is a very cool and reserved manager, very shy even more than Bob, to go public with his own real thoughts.
Certainly, considering his idea of football, if he had not insisted to bring Veratti with him from Pescara, You should think that he is fine with DDR to lead the show in mid park.
Totti is a different matter, as he's certainly down to the fading curve and, while he's the true skipper, breed and born captain and Roma legend, the Club can't afford his unsustainable wages.
Zeman is certainly that kind of manager who loves to built on prospects, ala Arsene.

all in all, what makes me confident and I do consider more relevant than Zeman's will is:
a) Roma (as any other Italian Club) desperatly needs fresh and real money (figures reported of a £25-28mils deal, equivalent to € 32-35mils.)
b) DDR never spoke out to chill down the rumors
c) DDR for sure is tempted by the idea of chasing top honours and challenge himself with the demands of English Footy (which he always said to be amused and intrigue by)

Yeah, i remember the way he built Foggia in the early 90.

well i guess thats that stadium announcer at Roma "He chose Roma for life our most important signing"

The stadium announcer said that tonight?

[trueblue64]

De Rossi holding a press conference on Tuesday apparently!

[Superbia]

The stadium announcer said that tonight?

All over twitter.I watched the game and the announcer did say something before the game about De Rossi but it was in Italian so I didnt understand it but I presume the Italian speakers on twitter are telling the truth.

This enigma will go on til next Tuesday's conference of Daniele De Rossi in Rome!

This enigma will go on til next Tuesday's conference of Daniele De Rossi in Rome!

I think the enigma is all about who is gonna loosing face in front of the fans.
Club wants the money, for sure, but would very much prefer to present it as a player's choice. while De Rossi ain't that stupid. I've found tonight article of Il Messaggero (Rome's traditional paper) a typical made up representation of that comedy canvas.

So what´s your gut feeling then? Do you think DDR will try to present it as being forced out to help the clubs finances or is this another taking of the marriage vows for the giallorossi

dunno know, Mate.
I felt very positive since tonight, for all the reasons posted before.
Half hour ago, have been reported quotes from Zeman, in the after match of today friendly: "I think Daniele will stay with us. I've spoken to the Club and they know that he is important to me"... also confirmed he has been rang several times by Mancini either this summer and last season (for Veratti, i suppose)
My gut feeling is that De Rossi is gonna confirm in front of the press his commitment to Rome, but I don't think that will be the end of the story. I still consider that if / when 25+ mil euro will be put on the plate, the Club won't refuse to seal the deal. I also saw a couple of article saying that as it stands, City have only made an informal offer of 15 mil euro to be paid on swift remittance: obviously declined.

...another Marwood failure then?

...another Marwood failure then?

No just another city snub coming our way.

[Ted Hughes]

If he's going to hold a press conference just to say he's staying, we should send a squad over to pelt the cunt with rotten tomatoes.

He could just say that now, without all the fucking about.

[s1ty m]

These Italian clubs are the absolute worst to deal with. Posing and posturing, all the time. Pathetic.

[dick dastardley]

i wouldnt sell the eyeties a freshly laid turd!!!

Got the love this quote though

"Has Mancini have ever called me? Several times, even when I was at Pescara last year. The last time I heard from him was three weeks ago. "

Is it his job to convince people to join us?

[PeterParker]

I am gutted about this. Earlier this summer i wasen't that interested in our transfer policy because i was convinced we can handle everyone with this squad, but i forgot something.

I forgot that those fuckers will try to stop us in every single way possible, like they did with Kun last night. We don't look that good without Micah, Gaz Baz and Kun and god forbids if something will happen with Yaya, Silva or Nasri.

If we miss him, that means we missed our last five major targets: Sanchez, Sneijder, Hazard, RVP and now de Rossi.

Bobby has every right to have a row with Marwood.

Well, you would think that he might have a hand in it, being the manager and all that.

What interests me about this De Rossi business is how it's being played out in the media. The Italian press seem to be saying that he will not be leaving whilst the British press seem to be giving it more of a wide berth, as if they'd rather ignore it, didn't want it too happen.

Personally, I don't think there's a cat in hells chance of him coming, even with Bobby's interventions. It's not about our club, it's only about his.
