Is Someone Touching the Untouchable Daniele De Rossi?

So far this spring, we’ve been poo-pooing the rumored desire of clubs not called Roma to acquire the services of one Daniele De Rossi. Not only does it seem unlikely the club would ever part with such a crucial cog in their footballing machine, but De Rossi also grew up loving Roma, and has said […]
Category: More Details on Toni (Kind Of)

In La Gazetta dello Sport yesterday, there was a roundup of the facts (and alleged facts) as we know them with regard to Luca Toni and his possible/probable move to Bayern Munich. The numbers are the same as were reported this weekend: €18 million to Fiorentina and a five year deal at €5.5 million per […]
Inter Dealing: Julio Cesar Renews, Moratti Eyes Lucarelli
By: Martha | 3 Comments
Though just yesterday our beloved Tribal Football was describing Julio Cesar as “unsettled” at Inter, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported this morning that the Brazilian has signed a new deal which will keep him with the Nerazzurri through 2012, earning about €3.5 million/year. While the sane among us would assume this means Inter are out […]

Despite the fact that there was a game to be played, Inter devoted yesterday’s match to a Scudetto celebration featuring lots of kids and balloons (I guess that’s how they do it in Milan). Poor Empoli — who, you may recall, were once in a Champions League spot and are certainly no pushovers — were […]
Inter v Empoli: Nerazzurri Kids Everywhere!

What a weird freaking game this was. Because of the celebratory atmosphere, it felt more like a tribute match than an actual, competitive game that mattered a lot to at least one of the teams involved. I mean, I know people were playing hard and all, but when the pre-match, starting 11 photo is full […]
Roma v Lazio: Clean Sheets All Around
By: Martha | No Comments
Not much in this one, really. Sure, there was the odd moment of brilliance from Mancini (who is really on fire lately), but it was pretty tame for a derby match in which neither team had any reason to be cautious. In addition to Mancini, Christian Wilhelmsson — who came on early in the second […]
Fiorentina v Chievo: Hells Yeah!
By: Martha | No Comments
That game (which I finally finished watching) was just all kinds of awesome. Let me count the ways:
1. Riccardo Montolivo being the best player on the pitch by a mile throughout the first half.
2. The speed with which Fiorentina transition from defending to attacking.
3. Adrian Mutu working and trying to be a leader. That guy […]

There’s a wire report — mean from a source at least somewhat more reliable than Tribal Football — hitting the internets this afternoon that says Luca Toni signed today with Bayern Munich. Whoa. Is that even legal?*
According to the report (which seems to have originated in a German magazine called Sport-Bild), Toni decided yesterday to […]
Quick Friday News Roundup

•Maybe Roberto Mancini really has had a change of heart — he’s talking again about bringing more Italian players to Inter. Curiouser and curiouser! You don’t think Azzurri gaffer Roberto Donadoni got to him, do you? He was talking earlier this week about how he’d like to see “a bluer Inter.”
•Don’t forget Cristiano Lucarelli’s lecture […]
David Villa, Definitely Maybe a Juve Target
By: Martha | No Comments
The last we heard about David Villa in these parts, he was on one of the early, massive lists of possible Inter transfer targets, along with pretty much everyone else in Europe. Now his name has resurfaced, only this time it’s Juve who allegedly have him in their sights.
According to reports in the Spanish press, […]
