De Rossi (again)

When I think about the fact Mancini wanted his targets as early as possible to have a good pre-season "together".
And he is getting a young Rodwell last week and maybe a Sinclair end of this week or even later.
And that's all...

My opinion, for what it's worth, is that DDR has made this public 'show of loyalty' to ensure that if/when a bid is accepted by Roma, he has laid his foundations to be able to say it was the club's decision not his, therefore retaining adulation of the Roma fans.

Should no bid be made or accepted, it looks as if he always had every intention of remaining at Roma.

For him it's win-win.

Agree, regardless of it annoying the 'lock the thread' mob on here, there is surely more to this than meets the eye...

The only thing to actually come out of his appearance today was the 'revelation' that he is prepared to move if the club accept a bid? We already knew he hadn't asked to leave because he'd just signed a new contract.

He's played a blinder here and now cannot look anything but a hero, even if he does leave. He wanted to stay despite the financial rewards on offer, so no mercenary tag for Daniele lol, and he remains an icon of Rome.

If he stays (because we don't do a deal with Roma) he is more loved than ever for turning us down...

Hopefully the deal makers are in negotiation with Roma tonight. Can see this rumbling on to the end of the window!

Watch out mate, Ducado won't like that post....
 
Could the Cavani deal be a smokescreen. Italian press get wind of £30m fee agreed. Roma go whoa whoa whoa elvis, sweet child o'mine, that's our money. We need that. Get Marwood on the trombone.

i agree mate, DDR has to play a blinder otherwise the mad italians will be rioting in the streets, and he will probably fear for his life.

Don't forget this lot drove a burning scooter into the away fans, from an upper tier

I won't be holding my breath....
 
At the start of this saga I wanted to believe that this could happen and pointed out to several people my understanding of Roma's financial circumstances and recent movements that made it a possibility, but try as I might i could not bring myself to believe. But there is something about the numbers involved and quotes made by various parties along the way, that, when taken with the cagey way that DDR handled himself today (anyone who has seen any of his presser will know that he is normally very passionate and open) and his closed body language, and the fact that all he really confirmed is that at the moment he is a Roma player and has never requested a transfer, that make me suspect that maybe just maybe we have yet to hear the punchline to this story.
 
Lloyd: Hit me! Just give it to me straight! I came a long way just to see you Mary. The least you can do is level with me. What are my chances?
Mary: Not good.
Lloyd: [Gulps] You mean, not good like one out of a hundred?
Mary: I'd say more like... one out of a million.
Lloyd: So you're telling me there's a chance!

Nobody can say this deal is off yet with any certainty for exactly the reasons outlined above plus the strong feeling that we - as a club - would not have pursued this one unless there had been positive feedback from either the player, Roma or very likely both parties. The key to the whole thing for me is how desperately Roma need the fee and savings in wages that a transfer would bring about?
As suggested above a win-win outcome is an absolute possibility. Maybe I just belong in the deluded corner too. Still I wonder what the odds are just now?
