Roma fans delighted with this. A quick look at the replies on twitter shows how many of their fans hate his signings.
Hopefully he will be back to his Sevilla form soon
I dont think his signings were that poor, some of them simply didn't work out a lot of that being down to EDF not properly utilising the squad. Couldn't name a single bigger transfer which was poor from the beginning bar Defrel who they overpaid for.
Yeh. The problem with Roma isn't the signings they've made. It's that they didn't add those players to what they already had. Monchi's job was to find younger, cheaper and more talented replacements for the guys who went out each transfer window. Consider for a moment that Roma have sold guys like Allison, Salah, Pjanic, Rüdiger, Nainggolan and Strootman just in the last 2 years. And those are just the ones off the top of my head. They've been selling players at the same rate as Monaco and most of the money didn't go back into the team; it went to service debt.
I think they've made a mistake in sacking Di Francesco, and Monchi leaving is going to be an even bigger blow for them, but it's typical of how they are doing things in Rome. They have a firesale every summer window and then their fans still think they're one of the biggest clubs in the world.
