Last season Roma had an impressive recovery, but in the last few league games they have fallen a lot, the strangest thing is that this season Roma have not made any big signings, which shows that they are not looking to win Serie A as their main objective, from what I could see they have signed the following players: Artem Dovbyk, João Costa, Matías Soulé, Niccolò Pisilli, Enzo Le Fée, Samuel Dahl, Angeliño. But they lost Lukaku who in many situations helped in the goals and they were also very close to losing Dybala.
I don't know many of these players, Dovbyk and Angelino are players I knew and Angelino played some matches for Roma last season. Dovbyk only joined Roma and Serie A this summer so he needs time to adapt to a new league and new club. He is considered as a direct replacement for Lukaku and if he succeeds to adapt to Roma, he will be their striker in next several seasons. It will be a good replacement as he is younger than Lukaku and will have a longer career ahead so possibly has more contributions for Roma.
Paulo Dybala has rejected €75m package as salary spread over three years from Al Qadsiah…
…he wanted to stay at AS Roma.

I don't know what Roma's management plans are, but in my opinion Roma won't win anything relevant this season. Maybe this new coach can't convince the good players to go to Roma and had to settle for the available players.
Dybala is very important for Roma attacking system and if he refuses to move to Saudi Professional League, Roma will get benefit from his brave decision. Their attacking system will continue to have creativeness, key passes, assists and goals from Dybala. If this player moves out, Roma will have big troubles as in recent seasons, we saw how they struggled in attacking when Dybala could not play because of injuries.
