AS Roma had a squad that was impossible to improve on.
But with 800m sitting in the bank. The manager known as TK got to work:
Goalkeeper
The first signing was an improved Goalkeeper. An easy deal with the pussycat Inter manager saw 25 rater Courtois replace the error prone Martinez
Defence
Roma are the original high-shooting team (although several lesser EFL teams have tried to copy their model).
Hughes set his scouting team on the mission of improving the shooting of his defenders. Rumours circulated that Rudiger & Mendy were desperate to avoid DPT football with the struggling Madrid team. And so the TK swooped in and snatched the two defenders quickly before Talbot could see sense.
Alba arrived as an improvement to DeMarcos. And will provide a high quality backup.
3 better defenders is impressive work
Attack
With 12 strong outfield players. Hughes gave himself flexibility in the auction. But even his wise foresight couldn't have imagined the golden opportunity that was about to present itself.
The best striker to ever appear on the auction was sitting waiting - Mbappe. And with Lovell preparing a ridiculous bid for Bellingham. Talbot totally losing the plot with his increasingly bizzare decisions. Junior Banks and Simon Clarke refusing to sell players and so couldn't compete.
Hughes accepted the open invitation to sign the incredible Mbappe. And prompted received messages of Roma as title favourites.
Summary:
Upgrading 5 players is the best transfer bonanza ever for Roma (and they've had some cracking ones).
With less time available for FFO Hughes proves that 25% Hughes still outclasses the rest as they huff and puff their way around the Discord corridors.
If Hughes gets his treble will he walk away at the end of the season? Or will he want to stay and enjoy the sights of 'improving Inter', best-ever manager at Juve and of course sinking Madrid?
