Listened to a Euro pod yesterday and they were really talking up Evan Ferguson's Seria A debut for Roma. Said he worked really hard, lots of running for team mates, created a couple of chances and went close to scoring himself. Fans really excited and newspapers giving him good reviews, one of which named him Man Of The Match and likened his style of play to Batistuta!

Surprised they’ve got the finances to fund this given the situation out in Turkey.

Will be interesting to see how they do in Europe though.
