So far he seems to me likes he thinks only about today, and doesn't care if he burns or sells players. He decided to bench Bacca for Lapadula after some problems between them in Milanello (at the start of the season, when he said Bacca is not keeping the ball well) despite Bacca had scored 6 goals in 7-8 games, Bacca lost all the support of the club he had a season before with Mihajlovic. He then asked the club to sell Niang. Said in the conference words like "Niang can become an important resource for Milan economically", "Plizarri costs as much as Donnarumma" and "Other clubs should not think they can get Lapadula for a cheap price" in this way adding some players and some important talents on the market. Except of this, he decided to burn a young talent like Locatelli for a 32 year old Sosa who won't stay here long and won't be part of the big Milan.
1 - Isn't he the guy who supported Bacca through the very rough spell, in which he hadn't scored for like 10 games. Also he criticizes
everyone. He recently said Deulofeu should score more. And it's true Bacca needs to be involved more in the game, like he did this last game. Not only Montella has said it, if you watch Domenica sportiva, Tiki-taka (italian sport shows) every single former manager and expert shat on Bacca while Montella kept defending him every single game, you clearly have no clue what you're talking about.
2 - Deulofeu is outperforming Niang by a mile. He gave him plenty of chances, not Montellas fault he screwed up. And he had personal issues in Italy with that tranny, he didn't put the effort and was obv, just look at the Torino game.
Sometimes players don't work out, I wish him the best at Watford and i hope they buy him, he didn't convince here. He's talented, but not a good fit.
3- "Plizarri costs as much as Donnarumma" If you actually watch his interviews in italian, which you clearly don't, you can tell most of the time he isn't serious. He trolls the media and cracks jokes every single press interview, but you read letters and think he's ultra serious. Stop grasping at straws.
4 - "Other clubs should not think they can get Lapadula for a cheap price" This came at a the time Lapadula wasn't playing and he said no loans only sale if he were to leave, Montella clarified he isn't going to gift him, and that he in his plans,
but you clearly left that part out. As you do with most Montella quotes.
5 - "Except of this, he decided to burn a young talent like Locatelli for a 32 year old Sosa who won't stay here long and won't be part of the big Milan."
I have followed Locatelli since he was with the allieve, i watched Al Kass, youtube, read, i'm one of his biggest fans, but he doesn't deserve to star ahead of Sosa.
And explain how he's burned him? He's still playing a fuckton of minutes for someone so young.
