I think that Mauri has been a worse version of De Jong, not strong positionally, not great at tackles and very bad at passing. Compared to how good Rodrigo Ely played in the friendlies, it was like night and day difference.
Yes, he played as a starter for Parma, but so was Nocerino and he's warming the bench also, as well as other players like Adriano, Suso, Honda, etc. He is the only one with an agent that goes every day in the media to say "Jose Mauri doesn't like the current situation".
I don't think that Miha gives any fucks either way what his agent says, but this kind of behavior shows a lack of professionalism. He needs to lower his head, try his hardest and when January comes, sum everything together and decide on whether he's happy to stay here or go on loan somewhere else.
The fault is of Galliani also who coming from a Kondogbia refusal, overhyped the shit of this deal to make it seem as if we were covered in midfield with a Jose Mauri addition. Good thing we got Kucka at the very end.
