ROMA, TIAGO PINTO'S POST-TRANSFER WINDOW PRESS CONFERENCE
Following the conclusion of the summer transfer window on Tuesday, Roma's General Manager Tiago Pinto met the media on Wednesday afternoon in order to answer their questions on all the incomings and outgoings at the club.
Here's everything that the Portuguese had to say...
“I want to thank you for being here," Pinto began, as he addressed the journalists in the room.
"I think it’s important, both for me and for you, that today I have the opportunity to explain our approach and what has happened in the most recent transfer window.
“But, first and foremost, I want to thank the ownership for all the work they have put in over these last few months. And not just in terms of the investments made, but also for the assistance, for their presence around the club every day, for the vision that they have. When I got here, they talked a lot about teamwork. But not just in theory, in practice too. We have worked hard together, with the coaches too. We have shared the decision-making process and that is something I am really pleased about, because it is something that you need to do and it is something that will only end up being for the better for Roma.
“To conduct more than 40 transfer negotiations in less than two months is not just the work of Tiago Pinto, but it’s the work of the legal team, the finance department, Morgan [De Sanctis] and Maurizio [Lombardo], who all helped. For you [journalists] a lot of the time what matters is the name of players. But in modern football it’s complex and difficult to bring negotiations to a positive conclusion, especially if you don’t have such a committed and expert team with the willingness to work hard to do it.
“I am very demanding with myself: I am the first to be angry when things go wrong. But I can say that this was possibly the most challenging and difficult transfer window in the recent history of football. And yet, in the end, we were able to conduct a good transfer window. I am not one to shout to you guys about the great business we’ve done, that’s not the way I operate, but in such difficult circumstances we have been able to hire the best coach in the world, we have built a stronger squad and we have found solutions for more than 30 players. Of course you will all want to talk about the business we didn’t manage to do, but I think we’ve done great work.”
