If de Rossi does bottle it just pay te buy out clause for Martinez!!
If all the rumours are to be believed on here with added speculation, DDR has said he will leave it to the club to make the decision. He doesn't want publically to say yes because he would lose his loyalty bonus and it would put him in a bad light with the fans. By shifting the decision to the club, if they say he has to go because of the money we are offering I suspect he will join, but the fury of the fans won't be against him but the owner of Roma.
Exactly the same as when we tried for Kaka he left the pitch in tears throwing his shirt into the crowd, the owner of AC then bottled it and turned down the 100m only to sell him to RM the following year for half the amount.
The only difference this time from last the owner is American and americans don't do sentimentality they do hard cash. Crosses Rome off the list of places to wear a city shirt,
