I know, two games played is also a non-indicator :). I have a friend who watched last year Avellino, and he told me that Rodrigo Ely was head and shoulders above Vergara as a defender. Of course the jump from Serie B to Serie A is a very big one.

I mean, people are praising Koulibaly right now but they forget how he was playing last year. Barzagli is one of the most complete defenders currently and yet he was sold for pocket change to Juventus. It's too early to throw Ely out as trash. The fact that Miha started him not once but twice tells me that he sees something in this guy. As long as Miha trusts in him, I do as well.

Mihajlovic might not be the best coach or the best motivator, but he knows defensive coaching. This is the same guy that got Shkodran Mustafi to the World cup winning team and Romagnoli to where he is today.

Anyways, we kinda hijacked the Calabria thread :D

Good post :thumbsup:

Good game

He can't cross but he's smarter than Abate

I think he has pretty good crossing but he needs to improve his defensive skill above anything else right now. Still has a few brainfarts every now and then. IIRC he had an assist with a cross in one of the last games he played.

Dangerous crosses in as always, something Antonelli & Abate are incapable of

He's being linked quiet many times with Cagliari, what are they waiting?

They know we have so many RB/LB in our disposal.

Pls don't sell Calabria...i think he has the highest ceiling of any of our fullbacks...a loan MAY be OK still would like him to develop here.

I think the pointless signing Vangioni must be the one to go.

Sell him to Cagliari for 1,5m, buy him back for 50m. We are rich now :D

I liked what i saw in coppa final. Better than Abate, showed more brain capability than abate had shown during his career combined.

Have you even seen Vangioni playing for Milan yet?

not at milan but the consensus of the forum generally seems like he's going to be another taiwo.

and his signing was pretty pointless. Antonelli was one of our most steady performers last year.

Incredible cross indeed; couldn't believe my eyes.

Still don't trust him defensively though.

A clueless boy in general.
Mertens tries a pass hit Gomez and instead of trying to do anything with the ball lets it go for a corner kick because he thinks that a Napoli player touched the ball.

that was very stupid(same shit happened with monty last match) but besides that he did very well. he was one of the reason we were playing well even after man down.

Just play him and Vangioni. What's the worst thing that could happen, we concede 4 goals? That happened already today with DeS and Abate.
