hah, yeah, Luis Suárez not being recent is an understatement ... think José Mari, Farinós, de la Peña, Gaizka, and Pep ...
as for Lucho helping him out: hopefully you're right, and hopefully it works out well for them and Roma (I'd genuinely like to see this happen) ... but Luis Enrique will be under pressure to prove his worth straight away, in a foreign league, where intricate tactical planning is paramount ... not to mention having to deal with Francesco Totti, who will constantly challenge his authority if things don't happen the Roman's way ... so unless young Kirk fires right away for Roma, he may be consigned to warming the designer benches in Italy ...
Udinese may have been a better destination, though I realize the wage issue may have been a problem ... but in Udine, he'd be much more likely to get a consistent start, and he would be an instant fan favourite if he earned them a Champions League Group Stage spot ... anyway, hopefully that fate befalls Jeffrén, for the sake of calcio ...
