re: 2015/2016 Transfer Discussion

Supposedly there's a rift between Rudi Garcia and Roma management.

To the degree that Garcia would leave, it's just paper selling rumors.

Garcia had a press conference last weekend where he said that Juve's transfer budget could see them move even further ahead of Roma and Palotta didn't like it and made his own statement that Roma would have the roster to contend for the Scudetto.

Journalists took that and ran with it. They linked Emery with Roma mainly because Palotta and Roma DS Sabatini were in London at the same time Emery was meeting with West Ham.
However, Palotta and Sabatini have met in London just after the season for four straight years to discuss transfers.


I'm sure Palotta will soon give another scathing radio interview where he sails into the Italian press for "destabilizing conjecture" and confirms 100% that Garcia is the Roma manager.

Then the press will be pissed and print even more conjecture.


For Roma rumors: watch out for Gervinho and/or Doumbia to be sold soon (even though most think Ljajic is more likely) before buying for the attack.

Also, hard to imagine Roma not buying Nainggolan though it's a bit alarming that it hasn't happened yet. I think Roma will do it before it goes to envelopes and imagine they're trying to sort out Ibarbo, Astori and some youth players like Viviani and Verde Cagliari may want on loan.
