We have definitely made improvements and anybody who can't see that is blind. That said, are we a good team yet? No... but I do believe that it's close enough that we can almost fully rectify this with one more good transfer campaign.
We have spent over 300 million in the last two seasons including 70 million in January alone. The squad not being good enough for 4th excuse flew out of the window long time back.
Compare that to our current opposition:
Roma sold half their squad and sacked their coach.
Atalanta sold half their squad and barely spent
Torino and Lazio barely spent.
So no offense, if you think our current squad isnt good enough for fourth thays just fuckin BS. Gattusos entire time at Milan has been just pockets of good form combined with a stretch of garbage. Its almost the end of the season and we still seem to have no semblance of attacking tactics whatsoever. A large number of our wins came through individual brilliance. I mean fuckin compare our squad with each of the others and tell me who would you have instead.
You dont need a fuckin perfect squad to get a 4th place spot. What you need is a coach who actually knows wtf he is doing. Gsttuso may turn out to be a good coach in the future but atm he is clearly out of his depth. Why else do we fall apart everytime we need to step up?
Its not just some players who are out of form. Almost every player on the pitch is playing like shit because they have no vlue what to do. And that falls on the coach.
So no, save me the BS that we are (were) still 4th because we have been good. We havent. We are fourth because our competition have been equally shit. But atleast in their case they have a valid reason to be.
It boggles my mind that peeps sti peddle the idea that we are not good enough for a 4th spot because we dont have the right personnel. Most of you saying that rated our last mercato 10/10.
I may not like Allegri, but he got us to CL spots with a far weaker team in a much stronger league.
