covid was a bummer for all clubs, and many, many players agreed on reduced wages for that season. everything points to the same conclusion, including interviews, articles and performances: the majority of our players were/are just overpaid mercenaries. i'm not sheding a single tear for any (potential) outgoing player, barring chiesa and a few youngsters. the majority can go fuck themselves as far as i'm concerned
Whoever surprise for current result was blind by hatred. The only way he would have fail with Rome would be if he would have been injured like Pogba has been with us since day 1.
Clearly it was a mistake to let him go, and he loved this club.
But what is even more baffling was signing injured Pogba and part time di Maria as his replacements. Then playing Di Maria in the exact role Dybala should have been played in.
Arrivabene really made a positive impact during his tenure
No mistake in letting him go. We offered 9+2 mil but his greedy agent was asking for more, then we withdrew the offer and he signed with Roma for 6mil.
He was injury prone and inconsistent in his last 2 years. And he was turning 29. It was the right thing to do. Signing Di Maria was not.
Then we just got unlucky because Pogba got injured and Dybala is having a good half of the season.
I don't expect it to last very long and in the long run we'll probably say it was a good decision.
