paid loan with option
Nice. I almost got mad seeing him come on as sub. A bad, expensive Nocerino is what he was.
Nocerino was way more useful.
Anybody still believe in him? Would you welcome him back if he finds his old form?

sign him
Bertolacci may very well be a must sign player, considering everything. He could be to us for the next five years, what Marchisio is to Juve.
I am always curious what warranted his price?
During the end of the Berlusconi era we haggled for 6m over 3 years for Aquilani and even let Rami pay some of his transfer fee to Valencia.
Yet when we decide to spend, he was the guy? My memory may be a bit foggy but it felt like we did not even haggle...

Roma paid 9 million to Genoa for 50% of Bertolacci's card (they owned the other 50%) so it was not a surprise what we pay for him.
Both Bona and Bertolacci are AM/wingers "converted" to deeper roles. Bertolacci played as AM/second striker in the season Genoa almost got relegated... One of the few players who did well that season.
They both have trouble defensively, that they sort of make for it with running.
Bertolacci plays a heavier game though. He's more natural to CM than Bonaventura.
We got many players leaving and we will need depth. Bertolacci will be at least very useful
Trust Sven to have a response even to a question asked 3 yrs later. This is why Berto was a good signing in 2015 (in addition to the 6 goals, 8 assists season):
As rotation, could be a good back up, and if he does well, honestly should be worth more than a few million.
Worth keeping around.
Probably better than Monto playing.....right?
