There are two weeks to go until the start of the season, with just over three hours left until the market closes: lacks the Rome . To this day I cannot identify an idea of a team to fight for the first places and yet I do not miss the fantasy, that is not. A brief summary of the operations completed so far: Diawara, Spinazzola, Pau Lopez, Mancini, Veretout have arrived and I add Providence , a surname that is a whole program. They left De Rossi, Manolas, Luca Pellegrini (he was on loan at Cagliari), El Shaarawy (eleven league goals, best scorer of the last season) and forgettable Marcano, Gerson (via Firenze) and Karsdorp . It is more than expected the departure of Dzeko and Schick cannot be ruled out.
The plan “ Rome year zero ” is slowly developing (the “new” management has given itself three years to regain top coppe) amid the skepticism of the critics and by contrast the prohibition of resignation of part of the fans. I do not want, or could, draw conclusions as, as pointed out, there is still plenty of time to put on track a fourth-place team – to put it in Totti , the maximum objective, considering the moonlight of the club and the movements of Juve, Inter and Napoli – however the signs that come from Turin ( Higuan ) are not comforting: resists the option Icardi , the favorite of Fonseca ; Icardi for which even yesterday the Roma, in addition to Napoli, moved with Marotta ( Dzeko and 40, 45 million , Wanda permitting).
Petrachi is grappling with a very complicated job, not being able to offer attractive salaries (only for the big striker there is an extra budget) nor the Champions League and suffering – the company – of an obvious appeal deficit compared to the first three. And yet it has, as a role, the duty to guarantee Fonseca a level workforce. We are not yet on the alert, but the early warning imposes. It is true that Rome was not built in one day (in these parts the verb build does not seem to be declinable anymore) but it is equally true that the dream Rome cannot be demolished in a summer .
Finally taking up the very current theme Icardi , different is the discourse that concerns the incidence that the purchase of Maurito could have on the season of Napoli , the other during the race: Ancelotti has a team that is almost complete, to which, in order to raise the level of competitiveness, a center-point goleador is needed in particular, a figure that this unique “disappeared” perfectly embodies.
