If Roma hadn't sucked @ss under "the crappy one" in the first half of the year, wouldn't have to worry about other teams.

Atalanta should just do italian football a favour and throw the last two games!

Of course i'm half joking.

We'll find out soon enough, but the classic Italian biscotti approach would be welcome. A few youth players going on loan from Rome to Bergamo, the age old 'friendly' agreement between two teams when one of them has nothing to play for...

I hate to be suspicious, but I'm suspicious

Yep!

Corriere dello Sport details how De Rossi has identified eight Roma players he believes will form an important foundation of his new project – Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Evan Ndicka, Bryan Cristante, Leandro Paredes, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Stephan El Shaarawy and Tommaso Baldanzi.

It's okay I guess. But should Cristante be more of a utility guy than a day in day out midfield anchor?

Lupo Pazzesco · Post 29-05-24 22:59

Define utility then I'll get back to you?!?!

Duncan!! · Post 30-05-24 00:38

He is a reserve in midfield and an emergency CB But not a constant

Cristante's a strange one, we've all been very critical of him over the years, but he's probably been one of our more consistent performers in the last 12-18 months.

And we know how much De Rossi loves him, so he's likely to be going nowhere!

"Bryan Cristante is from Bergamo, or Northern Italy – he’s not from Rome but he gives everything in training and in the matches and I’d like another 100 players like him. I can’t say that Roma needs Romans. Roma needs professionals, and if they’re from Rome like Alessandro and Lorenzo then even better."

“He is a pillar of our team, of the locker room and also of the national team,” De Rossi told reporters in this morning’s press conference. “I praised him in 2019, when I decided my retirement, because he is a serious professional, he is a strong player and I continue to be fascinated by Bryan.”

"Cristante is so intelligent that if you tell him two things at once he knows exactly how to manage the moments in the game, he just looks at you and knows what you want.”

I agree with DDR! End of........

Lupo Pazzesco · Post 30-05-24 23:24

Also he's called Bryan.

Hey, it appears we're playing a match...

Glanced at this action shot on twitter and thought to myself how graceful Dybala is when he shoots. Then I noticed it was actually Baldanzi!

Duncan!! · Post 31-05-24 20:14

Looks like we won 5-2
