Italian media in a frenzy over Evan Ferguson's four-goal display
It's times like these where you long for the return of Gazzetta Football Italia, that iconic Channel 4 show that beamed the best of Serie A into Irish and UK living rooms in the 1990s. James Richardson's newspaper review - where the show's presenter would sit outside a cafe and go through the big stories of the week - was one of the highlights of the wildly popular highlights show. Oh for a return of that segment so that Richardson could run through the headlines marking Evan Ferguson's arrival and his sensational first appearance in Roma colours. Fair enough, it was a behind-closed-doors friendly against a team from Serie D. But what's the saying? You can only play what's in front of you. And you will be hard pressed to find a better way to settle into a new environment than with four goals and an assist. And after just a day training with his new teammates, Ferguson's link-up play at this early stage shows great promise ahead of the tougher tests that are to come. He combined well with Paulo Dybala, and teed up the Argentine World Cup winner for his goal in the 9-0 rout. Roma have Kaiserslautern on Saturday, then French sides Cannes and Lens, and finally Premier League duo Aston Villa and Everton, before their Serie A opener at home to Bologna on August 23. That's when Ferguson will truly come under the microscope. But already the Italian media are drooling over the Ireland striker. Here's where we need Richardson. One of his favourites was Corriere dello Sport and their first report on a Ferguson performance was glowing. Evan Ferguson scores for Roma against Uni Pomezia (Image: Luciano Rossi/AS Roma via Getty Images) 'The star performer is undoubtedly Evan Ferguson,' writes reporter Jacopo Aliprandi. 'He scored four of the nine goals with which Roma won the second friendly by a landslide, to which he added an assist.' He adds: 'Given that this friendly match was only seen by the accredited press, the fans' curiosity to understand and see the actions of the new arrival Ferguson is great. Four goals and an assist are a calling card that, at the very least, gives us hope.' Francesco Balzani of Gazzetta dello Sport, another Richardson staple, intros his report with: 'Four goals and an assist from the Irish striker in his first with the Giallorossi, in the test against the Serie D club.' He continues: 'Evan Ferguson made his debut today with the Roma shirt in the friendly against UniPomezia. And it was a debut with a bang: four goals and an assist for Dybala in the 9-0 defeat given by the Giallorossi to the team that plays in Serie D. 'Soft test, but the signals coming from Gasp's team are encouraging. With particular reference to Ferguson who scored a hat-trick in less than half an hour and showed all the qualities seen so far in his short career. 'The Irishman, who arrived from Brighton just two days ago and with only one real training session under his belt, broke the deadlock in the match with a powerful header from Dybala's cross… 'With the Argentine, Ferguson has shown that he already has a good understanding.' Evan Ferguson scores for Roma against Uni Pomezia (Image: Luciano Rossi/AS Roma via Getty Images) Michael Di Chiaro of Goal writes: 'The great protagonist of the friendly match which Roma easily won was Evan Ferguson himself, author of four goals and an assist to Dybala.' These are just a few of the early reports on Ferguson's first outing in a Roma shirt. Bring back James Richardson and Gazzetta Football Italia.

Inside Newcastle's nightmare summer from hijacked transfers to Isak drama – and why it could get worse
YOU CAN'T help feel a little sorry for Eddie Howe. It was supposed to be the summer that it all finally started happening for Newcastle. 7 Eddie Howe has experienced something of a nightmare transfer window thus far Credit: Getty 7 The latest blow came from star striker Alexander Isak's request to leave the club Credit: PA Not only had he secured the club's first piece of major silverware for 70 years, the Toon boss also had the Champions League to look forward to again. He achieved all of that without making a major first-team signing for 18 months while selling several members of his squad amid the battle to meet PSR rules. But it feels like all that excitement is quickly evaporating as the feelings of frustration mount. Here's why Newcastle's summer window is threatening to turn into a real dampener: READ MORE ON FOOTBALL ALEXANDER ISAK The Swede is THE hot topic right now and, despite the club's insistence that it's down to injury, his All of the current drama and concern over his future stems all the way back to last summer. Former co-owners But then incoming sporting director Paul Mitchell, who we have more on below, decided to postpone negotiations due to a feeling Isak was already handsomely paid and having the security of knowing he was tied down on a contract until 2028. Most read in Football SUN VEGAS WELCOME OFFER: GET £50 BONUS WHEN YOU JOIN The striker kept producing the goods on the pitch but, even though Mitchell has now departed, there has still been no progress on an extension. Newcastle contract blunder could cost them Isak Though the last thing anyone wants is for the drama to keep dragging on and a decision needs to be made fast to avoid any potential hangover affecting the start of the season. SPORTING DIRECTOR And with no replacement lined-up or yet appointed, the head coach has found himself playing a more central role in transfer business. That led to him, head of recruitment Steve Nickson and assistant head of recruitment Andy Howe being tasked with overseeing transfer deals. Howe revealed: 'My phone exploded. I was enjoying my second day of my holiday and that quickly went sour. 'It was a complete surprise to me. And a big disappointment because we had stability, we were planning the summer ahead and then that's a big upheaval internally that we've been through before with Dan Ashworth leaving. 7 Howe has found himself at the centre of transfer affairs in the absence of a sporting director Credit: Getty 7 Former sporting director Paul Mitchell stepped away from the role at the end of June Credit: Getty 'It's been a busier summer in that respect than I wanted. Naturally with Paul leaving, that left a hole in terms of that role. And of course someone in that role protects the manager from a lot of things. And of course his departure left that open for me to do some things that I wouldn't have normally done. 'The summer certainly wasn't a relaxing one for me to switch off and see what happens.'

'We've had a frustrating time in terms of losing targets to other clubs. I'd be very open with that. That's happened on several occasions. 'You just have to accept it. In order for a transfer to really work, in my opinion, the player has to be desperate to come to your club. If we don't get that, the transfer doesn't work. 'We're seeking players that are good enough, that are desperate to come, and that can make the difference that they're in short supply for us. 'We're confident that we can try and get some more players in to strengthen the depth of the squad. We're certainly aware that we need to and we're trying as hard as we can to do that.'

He will report to whoever comes in to take over from Eales. Any club trying to operate without a proper and in-place executive team will always face issues. And the sooner the upstairs gets sorted then the better for everybody.
