Contracts are just a meaningless gateway to a high price tag nowadays, as are player statements like you stated for higher wages and agent fees.
I thought the same thing about Lamela but that didn't work. Oh and you're right, this is a new era for Roma - they'll sell if the price is right and are no longer a european force like they once were. It's sad really because I enjoy seeing Serie A teams do well but the league is a corrupt joke and teams will never develop unless something drastic changes.
I agree on the league part that's true but let's be reality Lamela was a great sell, dude scored 17 something goals thanks to Zeman let's not forget, any talented striker shows great numbers with him as coach that's a proven fact
Marcos was another great sell cuz really 30 mill for a CB that's 19 that's like 100 mill for Bale to tell you the truth.
Plus in past years Roma had a necessity to sell cuz they weren't making the CL this year it will be different Sabatini said so himself, he even admitted that had we won the Coppa Italia final last year we wouldn't have changed the squad as much as we did.
Last but not least, How can you say that we were a force in Europe? As a squad yes but that had little to do with ownership, ever since 05 the Sensi family was totally broke and couldn't spend shxt on the market, what we did in that era is the achievement of Spalletti, totti DDR and the rest of the players.. Oh and FVKK Rosella
Franco Sensi tho
