Pre-season can be a strenuous time for football fans. Not only can the anticipation of wanting the football to start be quite torturous (or maybe your dreading the start, depending on your point of view), but the silly season, or mercato madness, can test the limits of any patient soul. Some love all the rumours and gossip while others simply choose to ignore it. With that in mind, I've done up a Roma squad list and record of all official mercato dealings and transactions which I plan on updating every now and then when players arrive or leave, so do check back for future updates.
