Roma vs. Big-Spending Clubs
00:00:15
Speaker
Alright, so as far as the recruitment goes, it's no secret that Roma, at no point, has been a PSGA, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, one of these big spending clubs that if they want a player, it's essentially just name your price and we'll pay.

So that's, that's understanding the market, understanding the player. And yeah, there's, there's always a litmus test sometimes, or most of the times where, you know, what do we think? What, you know, whatever. And, and, you know, obviously Jim with the final decision. So we're all kind of helping with that. But, you know, at the end of the day,

Paraki was an analytical guy. He was very good. His numbers were outstanding. He has a key passing and dribbles. And he was a very deceptive player. And Walter liked him. So there's a lot of synergy as well going into it. But every player is unique. You can't take away what Walter does and what Franco does. They know things.

Speaker
It's not rocket science. You put three guys in that get great numbers, and maybe they have another guy they like. There's no one way to do it, but there obviously is a process. It's important to have a process.
