We can get Alexis Sanchez
If what Gattuso is saying is accurate he's in this poor form because of his injured ankle. He for sure wasn't playing if our squad wasn't that thin due to injuries as it is right now. And Laxalt being in piss-poor form too doesn't help neither.
It's tough to rate our current players and coach at the moment. Under normal corcumstances they deserved every harsh critics on earth. But right now many of them play injured or not fully-fit (Hakan, Kessie, Abate, Cutrone, Higuain) because they are forced to do so due to the many injured ones (Calabria, Musa, Biglia, Bonaventura, Caldara, and smh Conti). And the ones left to rotate with are utter garbage players coming from the previews two managements (Borini, Montolivio, Bertolacci, Mauri).
Until the Juve-game we were 4th. After the Lazio-game we could be back there. I guess considering all the circumstances there is little to nothing to complain about if we somehow manage to stay in near reach of 4th place until january.
-EDIT-
That's also why these days I'm not bitching too much about Gattuso. I think none could grab many more points than he did in the last two weeks given how we played 5 games in two weeks (basically 1 game all three days) with such a thin squad and still managed to win 3, draw 1 and only loose to Juve (who even under better circumstances no one would expect or even demand a win).
This what I already said in the previous commode but again playing through injury does not mean you have to play like shit.
Hakan isn’t showing improvement, the only good game he’s had so far is the Roma game. We are nearing the mid season. Something is really wrong right there.
He ended last season on a high, scoring against bologna and fiorentina and assisting 4 in 2 games.
We all got excited and we all expected he’ll pick up where he left off.
I don’t want to get into his personal life but this isn’t the first time when he has something with this magnitude.
I remember reading an article about him and Omer Topark when some Turkish player went into their hotel room and kicked their ass under gun point because they messed with his wife.
Real question is do we want to endorse this type of players who pretty much have chronic shit going on in their life?
If his problem is like suso (can’t finish full season) then we know what we are getting and how to rectify the problem.
Lozano is a good talent, but he's mostly a runner. Reminds me a lot of El Shaaraway. If we're not playing on the counter his offensive influence will be lessened. Great engine tho, never stops.

It has begun!
Players can decide not to go to national duties. The thing is that this would probably cause a serious problem between the player and the federation, but still nobody can make them go/play against their will. Also when there is an injury still bothering the player, he has the right to turn down the call-up.
i have a strong affinity towards the 4231, and we have the players to pull it off, completely.... so why aren't we?
higuain/cutrone
jack/hakan - paqueta - suso/samu
kessie/biglia - baka/paredes
rr - romag - musacchio/caldara - conti

Because right now we don't have anyone who can pull off the CAM position, and there's no speed on the wings. Paqueta looks promising but who knows what he can bring.
Hakan is a typical CAM when fit, but when never played in this role who knows what he's capable of now.
With Paqueta and Paredes in, and Bonaventura back in the mix in january, we have solid enough midfield for top 4.
I'm not sure he is though, I see him more of a LCM who can play CAM as well.
You beauty 4-4-2
Zlatan - Higuain would be fantastic. Cutrone as the Pippo super sub and can start when we play small teams.
I wouldn’t mind Pato if we can’t get Zlatan. Both in my favourites of all time.
What’s with Neruda and local thug war?
Pretty standard commode skirmishing.
For example the Argentine star Leandro Paredes of Zenit, considered a perfect substitute for Biglia
