Maybe I overrate Roma's future summer plans, but you also overrate Juve's, Nick. I honestly don't have high hopes at all because not a single thing points at a positive summer at this very moment. We have some decent squad but don't forget that we're yet to buy Quag and Aquilani. If we do, it's going to be a massive budget cut for us with or without CL spot. That's going to hurt and we're yet to cover many positions. I guess we also count -6mln for Piazon so it's even less. CL spot will help us get more money, true, but then again I can't see us spending much. We had higher plans previous season but we did terrible and didn't spend much at all. We only sold Diego for peanuts. What makes you think positive? The purchase of Toni and Barzagli? Two transfer that don't make much sense, now when we're in call it crisis?
Roma can't do any worse, even with Americans. Simply because their budget over the past 6-7 seasons was/is like 3mln a year.
With the return of Romy Gai in the Summer also will see ourselves getting some great sponsorship deals also.
If we didn't hear about them spending it doesn't mean they don't exist. It's a consortium, not one person. 5 businessman they say, they are all involved in buying Roma. I don't know yet but from their media plans it does sound pretty big. But yeah, Arabs will always spend more, but that still doesn't say anything.
