What happened with Malcom is easy to explain but difficult to understand. He’s a player we liked a lot fit the profile we were looking for. We started a negotiation with Bordeaux and his agent. After a few days of work, we found an agreement yesterday at 5 PM. The agreement was found with both Bordeaux and his agent. The French side had given the player permission to leave and he was to arrive at 11 PM in order to carry out his medicals. We were calm and convinced that it was all closed.”

Once we found the agreement with Bordeaux, about 30 minutes later their president, Stephane Martin, called me to tell me that there were a lot of rumours surrounding the deal, and for them it would be better to make an official statement. I told him that, for us, it would not be ideal as we are quoted on the stock exchange and have to respect certain rules – but he insisted, and they ultimately did a tweet to announce the agreement. Because of this, we also followed up with the same statement. Everything was done, but about an hour after the announcement, there started to be suggestions of a new interest from Barcelona. It is true that, a few days ago, I was aware that a lot of squads were interested on Malcom – Barcelona among them. Because of this we got the deal agreed as quickly as we could: it was done. So I was very surprised when one of the representatives of the player called me to tell me that Bordeaux had withdrawn permission for the player to travel to Rome. I called Martin, and he told me that an offer had come in from Barcelona that was better than ours and that if we did not raise our offer we could not have the player. I told him that we had an agreement, we had made the deal, but he said that nothing had been signed and that, despite having exchanged some documents to be signed, nothing could be done. I informed our president, telling him of the change – and he gave me the green light to push forward and make a new offer that was better than Barcelona’s. That was against my opinion, but he insisted he was willing and said, “Go for it.” I informed the Bordeaux president and his agents that Roma were ready to beat Barcelona’s offer. Their president told me that we needed to send it in officially. At 11pm we submitted a formal document with the offer President Pallotta was willing to make. The agents and the Bordeaux president told me that if all was agreed, today we would be able to exchange the documents and the player would again be authorised to arrive in the evening. Early this morning, I spoke with Malcom’s agent, Fernando Garcia, who had a meeting with Bordeaux planned at 12pm to confirm everything was in place for the player to travel to Rome in the evening. After that meeting, I was surprised to be told that the agents and Bordeaux wanted another improved offer, as Barcelona were still pushing for a deal. I told them enough is enough, because we did not want to get into a bidding war: we could not continue like that, and yesterday we had only raised our offer because of the willingness and desire of our president. So that was how everything ended. Now, within the club, we are looking at our options and seeing if we have a legal case. It is true that nothing was signed, but there are several communications with the agents and their president that are at least worth being assessed.

A message to the fans?
I’m sorry for what happened, but the club has done everything possible. I insist on saying that Pallotta wanted to increase the offer but we pulled out when an auction started. If someone wants to come to Roma that is great, but ultimately if they do not want to come to Rome then we do not want them. We will find a strong player equal or stronger than Malcom.

LOL

Basel er ude af CHL kvalen, hvilket sender Roma op på Pot-2 til lodtrækningen.
Vi slipper for Dortmund, United og Tottenham. Men, vi kan så løbe ind i Liverpool og Lyon.

Fremragende indhold af Kluivert i dag, han gjorde stort set alt rigtigt. Håber sgu han får chances fra start i næste kamp. Til gengæld var Pastore meget skuffende. Langsom i alle handlinger og aktioner.

Det føles lidt mærkeligt at sige, men det var ærgerligt, at vi slog Frosinone. Ja, det giver lidt arbejdsro, men fyringen af EDF er alligevel kun et spørgsmål om tid. Så kan vi i stedet få en røvfuld af Lazio i weekenden, og så ryger han forhåbentlig endelig ud, så vi kan komme videre i teksten med en anden træner ved roret.

Stemmer også på han ryger, men det skal ikke være for at se, Roma blive ledet af Montreal *Montella, Prandelli, Ranieri eller sousa. Hellere ikke Conte for den sags skyld.

*Beklager Duck, min mobil gad ikke skrive Montella.

Jeg ved ikke lige, hvem Montreal er, måske har jeg sovet i timen, men Prandelli, Raineri, Sousa og Conte er alle langt, langt bedre trænere end EDF nogensinde kan drømme om at blive. Hans bluff ER blevet kaldt, og han skal raus så hurtigt som muligt. Hans evner rækker ikke til en trænerpost i Roma. Det ærgrer mig helt vildt, for jeg har været en del af hans heppekor i det meste af hans tid i Roma, men der er bare ingen fremskridt at spore. Som i absolut ingen. Hvem ved eller kan se, hvad det er EDF gerne vil med Roma? Han sejler desværre rundt på dybt vand, hvor han ikke kan bunde.

De trænere er ligeså ligegyldige som EDF undtagen Conte, magter bare ikke hans tilstedeværelse Roma. Hvis det er muligt, så kunne Leonardo Jardim være en spændende type at få ind.

Jeg må nok være en af de få som mener EDF ikke skal fyres. Det sidste vi har brug for lige nu er mere ustabilitet i klubben, hvilken en trænerfyring helt sikkert vil bringe. EDF har nogle ideer som jeg godt kan lide, og jeg er tilhænger af hans skifte fra 4-3-3 til 4-2-3-1 som jeg mener passer vores spillere bedre.

En del af forklaringen på denne sæsons dårlige start er at visse spillere spillede over evne sidste sæson og har ikke leveret vareren i denne (Fazio, Kolarov). En helt ny midtbane som skulle spilles sammen - her mener jeg Nzonzi og De Rossi med Pastore foran, er vejen frem. Pellegrini og Cristante kan åbenlyst ikke spille sammen.

Midtbanen har tydeligvis været vores helt store problem i år. Modstanderen har løbet lige igennem, hvor vi i den anden ende ikke har kunne skabe de nødvendige chancer. Jo mere tid de får sammen jo bedre vil vi spille.

Vi mistede 3 af vores bedste spillere hen over sommeren og de nye skal finde tid til at spille sammen. Monchi/Pallotta bærer også en del af skylden for vores dårlige start. Alle trænere vi har været sat i forbindelse med er jo på samme niveau som EDF, kommer de ind vil de have nye spillere, sælge nuværende. Det ville jo være en shitshow at få dem ind nu. Wenger kunne jeg godt tænke mig at få ind da han er god til at få de unge spillere ind på holdet, hvilket vi har en del af. Jeg vil hellere have Andreazzoli som træner på livstid frem for Conte.

Giv EDF chancen resten af året og se hvordan situationen er. Er der intet som ændrer sig skal vi selvfølgelig kigge på andre trænere, hvor vi også vil have et større udvalg at vælge imellem.
