Roma President Franco Sensi has poked fun at Inter’s decision to buy Gabriel Batistuta in January.
The Argentine switched to the San Siro at the start of the New Year as a replacement for the injured Hernan Crespo. A move which Sensi believes benefited Roma and not the Nerazzurri.
"That piece of business was rare because we at Roma were well aware that we had swindled Inter," stated the capital chief.
Batistuta, whose Inter side face Roma at the weekend, has been struggling in Italy for the last two seasons and has scored just twice for his new club.
Statistics that Sensi seems to use to continue his scathing attack. "He arrived at Roma as an expensive subject but only did well for us in his first season," he continued.
"I shouldn’t really say this because he is a professional but in two months time no one will see him anymore.
"I’ll say it again, the decision to release him was a master stroke on our part. Even if others thought otherwise at the time."
But Batistuta wasn’t the only Inter player to receive Sensi’s criticism, as the millionaire launched into Christian Vieri.
"I’m not that bothered about him," he added. "Sometimes he plays and at others he doesn’t. Francesco Totti is the real star of the Italian game."
Sensi also commented on what next season holds for the Olimpico side as speculation continues over the future of boss Fabio Capello.
"He still hasn’t said anything to me but he has another two years left on his contract," the President continued.
"But we already have a strong side which will be strengthened with a new forward, midfielder, wide man and a defender."

you know what, if i was a betting man i would've picked roma to win. after sensi's comments though and how he totally lambasted bati and vieri, and indirectly moratti for signing such a worthless player in batistuta. inter will win notching their first victory against a somewhat big team all season.
inter 2-1 roma
sensi's going to learn the hard way that bashing a player days before you're scheduled to face him is not the most intelligent thing to do. but then again sensi has never been known for being a bright or classy figure anyway so it's going to serve him well. not that i'm going to root for you thugs. i wont mind so much this time if bati makes him eat his words though. so for the first time you have my blessings.
DARCELO IN CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUL strunzi !!!!! :thumbsup:
