I love Juan and all but I think it's best he moves on.We can't rely on him with his constant injuries.

Glad to hear it honestly. He's been a loyal servant and his loyalty to Roma has been excellent to observe.

He'll get a proper sending off next summer. Just because he's staying doesn't mean we won't bring in another CB. I believe we will.

need someone as dominating as Juan is.

That is great, thank you for your loyalty Juan. One more season wouldnt harm us.

An excellent player, composed in defence and deadly in set pieces. Now we just need to buy someone who can partner him.
