Roma manager Claudio Ranieri has had his say on Enzo Le Fee's Sunderland loan move.
GETTING TRANSFERS RIGHT
“If he spoke to us, I won't tell you... We have a broad vision of everything, but everything is not a priority. We have to try to find those players for Roma, that's all. There's no point in dusting the eyes of our fans. Like, they took so-and-so, they took so-and-so, I don't like it. Whoever comes, has to be up to the task. If they make a mistake, Ghisolfi and I make a mistake. We take responsibility."
SAID GOODBYES YESTERDAY
"Le Fée. Le Fée should go, yesterday he said goodbye to me and I was sorry to let him go, to be honest. I told him: "You had the misfortune of changing coaches, I never got to try you, I had priorities". But I liked the boy and a lot."
WASN'T HAPPY
"As I told you some time ago, those who aren't happy, those who suffer too much to be here and I can understand that. I also left Roma when I was young. At the time, there was no long bench. There was the goalkeeper, the twelfth and the thirteenth. I was the fifth/sixth full-back, I said “what am I doing here?”. So, I left. He left because he wants to play."
DROPPING DOWN A DIVISION
"He goes down a category like I went down going to Catanzaro in Serie B. He went to England because his coach was there who made him play, so he knew him and everything."
HINT AT BUY OPTION
"We have two options. If they don’t buy him, we will have a player who will have played six months in the Premiership, a tough, fast, beautiful, important championship, so a more mature player will return. If Sunderland buys him, however, we will have made a positive capital gain for the Club. These were our visions”.
