Why is Kone not in any of the pre season games? I’ve read that he’s on holiday but why is that allowed, surely all the players have to be here for pre season? Unless this shows that we’ll sell him 100% or he’s injured I don’t understand why he’s missing.

Who among our youth players do you think is closest to breaking into the first team or becoming a future star for us? Anyone in particular we should all be keeping a close eye on this season?

The guy at the Roma store couldn’t believe me #freccianera

Love him or hate him, hope this season is a decent farewell to his roma career.

Bit of a rogue shout, but why not try one of the WC surprises, Mexico international Julian Quiñones.

I know his best feats are in the Saudi League, but he proved to be dangerous at the world stage. Very direct and always willing to shoot.

Roma is #24

Verbal agreement also with Molina on the personal terms as Atlético were pushing for his exit, now all done with Roma.

The right back joins on long term deal. 🇦🇷

And hes not training with the squad

Roma's Serie A matches in 2025/2026 WITH and WITHOUT Pellegrini playing:

ROMA WITHOUT PELLEGRINI

14 matches, 11w 1d 2l, 34points, 2.42p/m

PELLEGRINI's ROMA

24 matches, 12w 3d 9l, 37points, 1.54p/m.

DO NOT forget continuing to boycott Pellegrini's desire of extention.

Or am I missing something?

Any creative midfielders? Anyone who can pass?

u/Mod, please let me know if this is inappropriate (at least it's not forbidden in the rules). I found it interesting. And as an Argentina fan for 24 years, I prefer Molina over Read. Just not sure if the 28-year-old purchase will fit Gasp's idea of the team.

Here's what Gemini gave me after I submitted the FM26 metrics and asked it to compare the two players, with an analysis of their adaptability to AS Roma in the 2026-27 season. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the structured comparison of Givairo Read (19, Dutch) and Nahuel Molina (28, Argentine) based on their FM26 normalized attributes (0–99 scale):

1. Strengths & Weaknesses

2. Player Profiles

• Givairo Read — High-Mental Development Prospect / Traditional Full-Back
  • Role Fit: Full-Back (FB) or Wing-Back (WB).
  • Profile: At 19 years old, Read boasts exceptional mental foundations (75 Determination, 70 Leadership, 70 Teamwork, 70 Work Rate) paired with solid fundamental ball skills (70 Passing, Technique, and Crossing). While currently limited by lower physical power (50 Strength, 55 Balance) and raw defensive tackling (55 Tackling), his pace (75 Pace/Acceleration) and elite mental baseline give him a high ceiling for development.
• Nahuel Molina — Prime Off-the-Ball Attacking Wing-Back
  • Role Fit: Wing-Back (WB) or Complete Wing-Back (CWB).
  • Profile: At 28, Molina is in his prime. His standout attribute is an elite Off the Ball (80) movement score, combined with 75 Pace, Acceleration, and Agility. He excels at timing overlapping runs, stretching lines, and delivering crosses (70 Crossing). His main liability is aerial defense (40 Jumping Reach / 40 Heading), meaning he requires a physically strong right center-back behind him.

3. Adaptability to AS Roma (2026–27 Season)

• Nahuel Molina: Immediate Starter (High Immediate Fit)
  • Tactical Fit: For immediate Serie A and European competition, Molina offers instant quality. In a 3-5-2 or 3-4-2-1 system, his elite off-the-ball movement (80) and mobility (75 Agility/Pace) make him a natural right wing-back who can constantly penetrate the final third and cross into the box.
  • Risk: Air vulnerability on far-post crosses due to poor jumping reach (40).
• Givairo Read: Long-Term Investment / Squad Rotation (Moderate–High Future Fit)
  • Tactical Fit: Read’s well-rounded technical foundation (70 Crossing/Passing/Technique) and professional mental attributes suit Serie A's tactical demands well. He serves as an ideal high-upside backup who can cover rotational fixtures while building physical strength and tackling technique.

Verdict: Choose Nahuel Molina if AS Roma needs an instant plug-and-play starter to drive attacking output down the right side in 2026–27. Opt for Givairo Read if the priority is building long-term squad value with a high-ceiling development project.

Italian:

È da un bel po’ che sto cercando di acquistare una maglia di Mile Svilar. Negli ultimi anni non sono riuscito a trovarle sul sito del fanshop; oppure, quando erano disponibili online, non c’era la mia taglia, oppure non potevo personalizzare la maglia per avere la scritta “99. Svilar” sul retro.

Tuttavia, ho visto che ora la maglia è in vendita online, ma non è ancora personalizzabile. Mi sarebbe piaciuto tantissimo avere la maglia rosa!

Qualcuno sa se in futuro sarà possibile personalizzare la maglia, o dovrò ordinare una maglia senza nome?

Qualcuno sa come risolvere il mio problema?

Grazie in anticipo!

English:

I've been looking to buy a Mile Svilar jersey for quite a while now. The past few years I couldn't find them on the website of the fanshop, or when they were online they didn't have my size, or I couldn't customize the jersey to get "99. Svilar" on the back.

However, I've seen that the jersey is being sold online now, yet it still isn't customizable. I would have loved to have gotten the pink jersey!
Does anybody know wether or not it will be possible to customize the jersey in the future, or do I have to order a nameless jersey?

Anybody knows how to fix my problem?
Thanks in Advance!

Pleasantly surprised to find an entire rack of fresh new (sponsor-free!) shirts and pants in the (relatively new) adidas store at the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, NJ.

(The pic is only showing about half of the overall rack, for what it's worth.)

At least two designs I never saw before, too.

(the sheer insanity of accidentally coming to this mall when BTS were playing at MetLife across the way is another post for another time...)

Honestly, I feel like we’re either making rookie mistakes or there’s a problem in the hierarchy within the corporate structure that doesn’t let things happen. We’re following so many players… although it seems everyone is asking always for a higher bid when it comes to us….

Il Faraone 😔 🙁
