After every game and, you know, what was the game he scored in a couple of weeks ago?

I mean, even afterwards I was almost like going to log on and see what's Gasparini got to say tonight?

You know, what have you got?

And it's...

It seems like the Roma press is... And it's obviously a huge club that it just seems to be... That seems to be feeding a lot of the stories.

The sporting director... And very different... You've obviously been covering stories about, say, Jason Wilcox and the sporting directors in English football and how they never speak.

Whereas, obviously, it's very different...

in the continent where the sporting director has to come out so you have the sporting director out before one game saying Evan Ferguson is a big part of our plans and then Gasparini afterwards is like casting doubt now I will say when the January window closes I think that will shut down a degree of this because the whole thing has been built around will they send them back in January so when it may well be that we've only got one more week or so of this to suffer but Are you hearing whispers he's coming back?

No but I

I'll be honest I haven't it's not one where sorry you've been on holidays sorry I have not been on holidays but I'll be honest it's my suspicion always been they'll keep him there for the season but they have signed you know Malin and Vaz and the one thing I will say he played 90 minutes last night but they're not eligible for the Europa League at the moment they will be able to they've changed the rules that they will be later on so it means that next Thursday he'll probably get 90 minutes again maybe Panathinaikos they play they have Milan on Sunday

Yeah, and you kind of feel like, well, he's played 90 minutes on Thursday.

He looked to be hobbling a bit at the end.

They'll need him for 90 minutes potentially next week because Dobrik is injured as well at the moment too.

But yeah, I was flicking between a couple of games last night because I was watching Jack Moylan did great for Lincoln, who's a player who's on the way up.

So I was going to torn between the two.

And Evan did fine, but a bit like a lot of these Roma games where you watch them, you get frustrated because...

At times it's asking him to do things that it's not necessarily his skill set.

Quite often he was isolated at times.

He's on his own up front.

There's a couple of times where they're almost trying to flick the ball in behind one-on-one to beat someone.
