Only a fraction of fee payable now.

Contrary to all the rubbish printed by the British press regarding a 20 million
pound deal for Alberto Aquilani, Roma have themselves revealed the true extent of the payment structure for the Italian (both to the stock exchange as well as their own official site).

It is already the Juventus of Diego.

The club maybe able to complete its remarkable turnaround since its return to Serie A in 2007 by challenging Inter for the Scudetto this year. If they win, it will be in no small part to their Brazilian imports, especially Diego.

Diego's two goals and Felipe Melo's injury time score finished off a Roma side which lost two games in a row but not its character.

Francesco Totti has confirmed that he will stay on in the club for five more years until 2014 and he has made himself available for national duty as well.

Just last week, all hell broke loose at AS Roma as Nicola Irti a legal advisor at the Fio Sports Group, the consortium involved in buying out Roma in a radio interview inexplicably turned his wrath on Roma's talisman saying that Francesco Totti should leave just like Raul at Real Madrid because they were part of the problem that clubs face.
