Luis Enrique warns Roma fans: I am not Harry Potter!

New AS Roma coach Luis Enrique has warned fans he's not a magician.

The Giallorossi have brought in talents like Erik Lamela and Maarten Stekelenburg, but Enrique refused to answer a question on what they could achieve this season.

"I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not Harry Potter! We are still missing some players and those who don't identify with the project would do better to leave," he said during a Press conference.

Several already have, as Mirko Vucinic completed his transfer to Juventus, while Philippe Mexes joined Milan and Jeremy Menez is at Paris Saint-Germain.

"I am optimistic based on what I have seen in training. I really like the attitude of the players.

"We're working to create a new squad and I can't say how many players are still missing. We do need a few, but I don't want to give clues here as to our reinforcements. I'll speak about it privately with director Walter Sabatini.

"I don't think we are changing too much this summer. I was accustomed to continually changing at Barcelona B."
