Father and son were quicker to buy Everton than Lukaku’s replacement
So, let’s give the numberswrites Mimmo Ferretti on The Corriere della Sera. Which, given the heat that accompanies us, is not that complicated an exercise. For example, 66 days have passed since D&R Friedkin communicated in a more or less informal manner theintention to confirm Daniele De Rossi on the Roma bench. Today, with 7 days left until the end of the old season and only 15 until the start of the new one, we are still waiting for theofficial announcement of the technician’s extension. Why? Business strategy, they whisper. DS Florent Ghisolfi, however, it was solemnly announced 32 days ago, but the club has not (yet) bothered to present it and make it known to the fans. Why? What a question: business strategy. And we add zero, the number of center forwards purchased on the market. Why? Not for corporate strategy, the fans hope. He says: it’s all the European Championship’s fault. Which delays – for any company – any type of negotiation. Maybe. The fact is that D&R were quicker to buy Everton than Lukaku’s replacement. There will be time to do it, they assure, but given the slow progress that has always been undertaken in Trigoria it would be a great success if the new Lukaku were signed before the start of the championship and not when the tournament had already started as happened last year with Romelu. In the meantime, however, yes they pile up names on names of players about to arrive at Roma and who, you will see, will never, ever arrive at Roma. There are those who have already counted 56, just to reel off other numbers, but perhaps they missed some episodes. It is the magic of the transfer market, fueled by random chatter, more or less forbidden dreams and multiple interests that give anyone the feeling of being able to count. Fake and sad feeling, actually. Maybe it’s because of the heat, who knows…
