Roma coach Mourinho won't rule out more additions

Roma coach Jose Mourinho says the door remains open to new additions.

Mourinho isn't ruling anything out.

He said, "Maybe I was wrong when I said it was closed or not closed. The market is open until January 31. If the question is whether I expect something more, the answer is that I don't expect anything.

“It's a bit strange because it seems that every time a team benches a player, he plays less, it seems that the immediate solution is to sell the player. If that's the case it's complicated. Veretout has been on the bench one game and is already for sale. Carles Perez plays and leaves, he leaves because he is for sale.

“The players who left were part of a strategy to structure our team. I think this squad will stay until the end of the season. The two new players in these games have played more minutes than the other four combined.

“This has improved our squad and that's why I always said I was happy. We did it on the 10th of January instead of the 31st. The other players we're talking about have minutes. Perez has played 8-9 games as a starter. We need the squad, not people going out."
