Wouldn't want to do that, Habitant. We'd need to find something else to point and laugh at. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
So, there seems to be a definitive break between Panucci and Roma. His contract is up at the end of the season and they've only just started working on a renewal - he wasn't happy at the delay and there seems to be a big difference between what he wants and what the club is offering. Then today, big shock in the lineup for Roma. not only was a Totti who declared himself fit to play left on the bench - so was Panucci. when he found out he wasn't going to start, he refused to sit on the bench and was sent to the stands. There's an article on mediaset's website quoting him as saying he's leaving and quoting his agent as saying he might yet leave in this window. |

Just to elaborate on what Tennie mentioned earlier:
QUOTE (TEAMtalk) Roma fuming with ace Panucci Roma's Christian Panucci could be on the brink of leaving the Giallorossi after being left out of the starting XI for Sunday's win at Napoli. Panucci was named among the substitutes but refused to take up his place on the bench and watched the match from the stands instead. The 35-year-old, who before Sunday was in the midst of negotiations to extend his contract, reportedly announced on the train back to Rome that he wants to leave the Serie A giants. He is set to meet with Roma officials next week to discuss today's events and clarify his future at the Stadio Olimpico. Roma sporting director Daniele Prade revealed that the club will come down hard on the player. "Panucci should have started on the bench," he told RaiSport. "But then he went to the stands because he didn't accept this choice. "Inside the dressing room we tried to tell him the rules and we didn't like Panucci's action. "He will be fined." Panucci has been a key player for Roma since moving from Inter Milan in 2001. In situations like this, who do you side with, the player or the team? |

Totally for the team. Till Panucci isn't coach it is not his to decide wether hr plays or not. Such behaviour isn't professional.
But the fact that his contract is running out has to do with it. I belive it's a provocation, or a "casus belli" to say... |

Panucci has always been rather difficult as a player. But the whole contract thing is probably part of it.
That said, I wouldn't mind him coming to Milan so long as there aren't any tantrums about guaranteed starting spots. Short term solution but let's face it - he's better than the available options. There's an article on Mediaset that now states that Milan is willing to talk to Portsmouth about Emerson's transfer as he doesn't fit into the team's plans. |

Are they speaking to you in their native language? Because that would be annoying. But if they're talking to each other... Why would that be annoying? |

It's just been announced that he wants out after the season. QUOTE (Channel 4) Panucci: I quit Roma!
Sunday 25 January, 2009 Christian Panucci has confirmed he wants to leave Roma immediately. “Luciano Spalletti does not respect me.” The defender refused to sit on the bench for this afternoon's 3-0 win at Napoli, so he was sent to the stands. “I have made my decision, I'm leaving Roma, as Spalletti does not respect me,” announced Panucci on Sky Italia. “I spent eight splendid years in Rome and I have not yet contacted any other club.” His agent also backed up Panucci's position against the Giallorossi tactician. “Unfortunately, this is the rapport between Christian and the Coach,” said Oscar Damiani. “I will try to find him a new club and at least a solution to end the season. If he does have to go, I will have to work to find an alternative. “Roma have to be willing to release him, though, then at the end of the season he will be free to make his decisions.” Panucci's contract expires in June and he will be a free agent at the end of this term. Much of the tension within the camp is because Roma have hesitated in renewing his deal. |

Somehow I can't see that happening.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) There can be no replacement of Maldini, just someone to replace the position of LB. And frankly, I'd want someone better and younger in that place. |

Mediaset seems to think Panucci will leave in January (link to article).
The article suggests it'll be either to Milan or to the Gobbi. |

I heard he is going to Torino. He is a decent option for us as a player, but as a person, I'm not sure. |

I still remember Panucci as that guy who funked up Paolo's last match (in the Superman shirt), in the FIFA World Cup 2002 against Korea. So yeah, I don't want him here, let him go to the Gobbi. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Besides, it's not that we're missing out on something big, his best is past him, anyway.
