LATEST NEWS AS ROMA – Our daily appointment dedicated to the colorful world of radio Roman. On Airthe most copied column (and glued) of the web, it is a journey for frequencies most listened to by Giallorossi fans looking for thoughts, news, indiscretions and a few notes of colour. Have funment!
David Rossi (Sport Network): “Being a Roma fan today is not like 20 or 30 years ago. And I’m not saying this based on the simple passage of time but as a perception: I realize that there has been a development in the figure of the fan and his role. Years ago no one would have dreamed of saying that De Rossi allowed himself to be gagged by the new contract. It’s true that even before there were antithetical positions, but they were numerically negligible, you could laugh at them. Now we’re 50/50, or 60-40 because it’s De Rossi… Strand Larsen? He’s not a kid, he’s 24 years old… I even read that he’s at the top of the list… but whose? By Ghisolfi, I imagine. But he could have been at Nice. With all due respect, if Roma are ready to go with Strand Larsen as the starter, I don’t think there will be a surge in season tickets… But if I have to spend 20-25 million on Strand Larsen, wouldn’t it be better to spend it on Jonathan David, who seems to be going to West Ham for that amount?…”
Gianluca Piacentini (Sport Network): “De Rossi? The narrative is important: here coaches were passed off as benefactors who took a million and a half to come here to coach for 15 matches (refers to Claudio Ranieri, ed.)…Bellanova? A month ago I would have said it was very complicated, but now we are looking for the right keys. I don’t know if he’s the full back of life, I like him but I’ve heard different opinions. He’s absolutely not worth 25 million, in the end I think it will be 10-12 more than Zalewski. Would I keep Azmoun on loan? No… Strand Larsen? If we were to say “Have you seen Bologna signing unknown players and then valorising them? This is what a DS does…“, then the profile is more Strand Larsen than Icardi…”
Francesco Oddo Casano (Sport Network): “De Rossi silenced by the contract? Are we talking about someone who has a history in this club, and in your opinion should he trample on this history and his intelligence, which is above average, to be bought by a two million euro contract? Who needs two and a half million to get by? If you then expect De Rossi, in the event that they don’t complete the transfer market for him, to go to a press conference and say: “Friends, let’s go back for sure“, you will not be satisfied…no one does. I would like to remind you that Mourinho said verbatim last year: “This year we have a strong squad, hoping that some of the big names don’t have too many physical problems.” So the consideration he had for the Roma squad was higher than that of many Roma fans…”
Mario Corsi (Tele Radio Stereo): “De Rossi has signed a three-year contract, so there is great confidence because three years is a long time… I read that Roma are pushing for Strand Larsen, and we have learned that it is a real name… I am sure that De Rossi, since he has signed for three years, now he will be scanning all the players, talking to them, trying to understand what guys they are. And I am convinced that De Rossi will think very carefully about all the players who will arrive. And when he decides, he decides for a team that will give him the fried food on the pitch. I am convinced that he will choose players who will give everything for Roma. Then where these footballers who will give us fried food will take us, I don’t know. From what I read, you don’t get very far with these names. But the Olimpico will not be disappointed by the determination they will put into it…”
Francesca Ferrazza (Tele Radio Stereo): “Strand Larsen is a name confirmed in the Trigoria area. This name is not plausible, moreover, it is one of Roma’s objectives and we take it as an indication of the type of players they are looking for this year… De Rossi with Totti were two pains with the sporting directors to make a strong Roma. It has always been a synonym of guarantee. He knows he owes a debt of gratitude to the fans, who welcomed him in an incredible way, and this debt, his being ambitious, annoying, will certainly have a weight…”
Lorenzo Pes (Tele Radio Stereo): “The sale of Belotti for 5 million including bonuses is an important figure for a player of that age. It’s all capital gain for Roma, excellent operation by Ghisolfi. Karsdorp could be one of the next: a meeting with the agent is scheduled to speed up his sale. The club wants to cut the player’s salary, I don’t think they’re interested in knowing how much he can get from the price tag… Offers for Aouar? I have no confirmation, the figure I read seems high to me, 10 million seems too much for him, I think 6-7 is a more appropriate price…”
Piero Torri (Radio Manà Manà Sport): “With Belotti it didn’t go as hoped, good luck to him for the other 36 matches with Como. Today many criticize his purchase, but I remember that at the end of August everyone was complaining about the fact that Roma had not yet signed him… Today compared to yesterday I am comforted: Roma made two official announcements, the sale of Belotti and the renewal of De Rossi…and yet he moves…Aouar? Bove is also on the market, even if many haven’t noticed. At that point you shouldn’t take one midfielder, but two. What Roma is transmitting to me at the moment is confusion…”
Roberto Pruzzo (Radio Radio): “I didn’t quite understand this Everton thing, I’m waiting to understand which will be the branch of the two, assuming there will be one… Roma must start with three starters on the market: a right-back, a world-class midfielder, of another superior of the three starters he already has, and a striker. Plus three other players who can improve the squad. And then understand if this attacker whose name is mentioned (Strand Larsen, ed) is able to keep up, otherwise you have to take another one…”
Nando Orsi (Radio Radio): “Strand Larsen? We need to understand if he is a plus or if he is the central striker of the project. I was expecting a center forward with more pedigree, but maybe they saw something important in him. If Roma no longer have faith in Abraham they must make a significant investment in the number nine… De Rossi’s renewal? It was already known. Now we hope that he can impact the market, that the players he signs are the ones he wants or at least have certain characteristics…”
Mario Mattioli (Radio Radio): “De Rossi’s contract extension is timely and also coherent. However, if they start from Strand Larsen, it is not the road that takes you to paradise. But we are only at the beginning of the purchasing campaign. Now with the purchase of Everton we need to see where the Friedkins will place Roma, how they will be able to strengthen it. We need two top players in midfield and attack, and Strand Larsen is not a top-tier player. It’s a moment of impasse in Rome. If you go from Abraham to Larsen I don’t see an improvement, I would try to recover Abraham. Unless Larsen is just a complement to the attack and not the first center forward…”
