A Harry Potter film is longer than Gerson’s Roma career so far

You know what, now I see why Roma called Monchi to really sort out the underbelly of the football club. Gerson, linked to Barcelona the year before, was signed for €16m but has only seen 130 minutes of action this season.

No goals and no assists in Serie A, sitting on the bench for the entirety of the second half of the season, the young Brazilian already looks like he might be a right off. He actually did reasonably well in the Europa League against weaker opposition, where he even grabbed an assist, but again did not play at all when it mattered.

With a new regime in place, could he have a chance again or could the new era see him as a mistake of the past? Only time will tell. If anything, the 20-year-old needs to find more game time next season and get himself back on track, whether that be in Rome or elsewhere.
