Credibility is a shape-shifter charming you in the guise of a mendicant, young Kuja.



Hot take. In your defense we all have a Bertolacci. My Bertolacci was Alexander Pato, had this vision of him lifting the cl trophy.

Andrea Poli has more goals from open play than Piatek.

Just read over the first few pages. Ironically, the two posters who said he would be shit - Tadej and Moggster - are banned.

Indeed. I've learned that the way things pan out in football, one finds accurate predictions in the unlikeliest of places.

Dragowski back to doing miraculous things in the goal. Saved them a point.

I don't think Berto was as bad as he ended up to be here.
Injuries and joining the wrong team at a wrong time ruined him.
He was a better version of Nocegoal who arrived to a post-Ibra Milan that needed him to be a proper midfielder.

Bertolacci was never worth what we paid.

We got fleeced in that deal, no way to spin it

It's gasperini's modus operandi.

Fleecing Milan wherever he goes.

He's an average midtable coach but a genius hustler.

Every single player that he's sold to Milan has turned out to be an overpriced dud.

What a performance. Torino players were inconsolable.

What the fuck is with Atalanta this season. 5-0, 5-0, 1-2 (to SPAL of all teams) and 7-0. Big wins bar the one game not counting Coppa. Toro lost the plot in the second half.

Valencia better come prepared like they did against Barca or Atalanta may well reach top 8 CL.

Are Atalanta Scudetto-candidates with a midtable coach that brings them down to 3rd-5th place?

Dunno how this was extrapolated. :conf:

Gasperini is a coach of middling stature for a middling team.

If Atalanta were scudetto candidates I would expect him to lose every preseason game and get sacked three games in.

3rd place isn't midtable.

If you make Top 4 twice, qualify for CL group stage and knock-out stage with a provincial club like Atalanta, which sell their most valuable assets every year, then you're certainly not an average midtable coach.


The disaster spell with Inter says more about Moratti's post-treble Inter than him.
He has never coached Scudetto-candidates.
