AS Roma president James Pallotta insists they don't need to sign a replacement for Kevin Strootman.

The midfielder has been sold to Olympique Marseille.

But Pallotta argues: “Why must we replace him?"

Calciomercato.com says Strootman was 'emotional' when leaving the Giallorossi's training ground for the final time and 'angry' with the club's decision to sell him.
