Verona held Roma to a goalless draw in their opening seria A fixture. Both teams played when and had a couple of chances to score but the goal just didn't come. One thing was clear throughout the game ~ Roma's defense was nothing to write home about. Verona made it look so easy to get past Roma's defenders. Roma earned a point but results like this would only get them halfway through the table. They should have won against Verona as there's only a very slim chance of them winning Juventus next week.
Roma did not show their ambition and ability to end the season in top 4 after 2 seasons were out of top positions and Champions League. With the transfer drama of Dzeko, and don't have good alternative if Dzeko moved, Roma will have to struggle with other clubs, Atalanta, Lazio, Napoli, AC Milan (that is a big competitor with the second season of Ibra after his return) for a spot in top 4.
Dzeko is not playing on the 1st game of the season with Roma so the negotiation should be still possible and probable.
Pirlo today got the press conference before the game and said "I think is difficult to Suarez be here", difficult mean improbable not impossible.
Suarez is young enough to play well in Serie A and it is good for Juventus to have him but the difficulty to get enough license in very limited left time is a big problem for the transfer. Suarez shows his good attitude to join Juventus but the transfer might not be made this summer transfer. Next season for Suarez, maybe?
Roma with the first match without Dzeko look want to finish the transfer with Juventus. It's not a good news for Suarez.
