His impact on this club so far is nowhere near what players like kovacevic and zalayeta had but if I had to guess he already costed this club like more than quadruple amount of money in transfer fees and wages compared to what this club paid for the former two players throughout all their career here.
I know the coach plays a part but still, I find it disgustingly amazing that this waste of money happened.

dusan played a good first half and the goal with the interception, the quick pass to chiesa and the cool finish was a stroke of a genius. he deserves all credit for that. he deserves a million for the existence of this picture alone:
that said, remaining goalless for 2+ months while playing once a week is unacceptable from a striker with his wages and status. it's not too hard to concede that we would have scored more goals in these 13 rounds with lukaku. (and i didn't even want lukaku, he's just a quick fix, perfect for roma. and roma got him for chips, he would have been way too expensive for jj. and he's old, and easily one of the dumbest, most unreliable persons i can think of. as a long term investment he would have been terrible. he's still the better striker in 2023, plain and simple.)

I haven't watched Roma a lot, but from highlights and the 2-3 games I've seen, Lukaku gets relatively many short, low passes into the box with his back to the opponent / sometimes running at the goal, it's one of the more popular outcomes of their attacks and something Mourinho obviously looks for to play to his strengths. you switch Lukaku with Vlahovic and I think we'd be cursing Lukaku for the same things that Dusan lacks.
just check serie a stats: juventus has the same number of passes in the final third than roma, only 7 (seven) passes less into the box than roma. juve has more shots, higher xg, more crosses into the area, more key passes.
it sounds bizarre but jj is one of the best attacking sides of the league when it comes to creating chances, we're just meh in scoring those. again, see table in post #4465. while based on stats, roma is the most effective in both goals/shots and goals/shots on target. they shoot less, still score more.
