Crazy how Sportiello has displaced Musso as the starting keeper for Atalanta, even though he's leaving and Atalanta paid a lot of money for Musso. Says a lot about him.

Hojlund also looks... fine. Like, yes, I see the speed, strength, and hunger, but like... 40-60m? That's a big gamble considering he's only at 8 goals and that's in-line with his xG (he's at 8.9 and 8.0 xG according to two different places) so it's not like he's just underperforming because of his age.

Of course, he's young, and there's no reason to doubt that he could explode. It's just that the price tag (considering our finances) would worry me.

If Sportiello is playing like this against Merda for Atalanta, it's not a good look for us as Mike's backup.

The few times we've played CDK at striker, he's looked... a lot better. More confident. Torino and I think it was Cremonese? It was a game where we thought Origi would be the ST but he was the winger, and CDK played through the center.

I'm not a CDK fan. I feel like I need to state this a lot. But the kid looks so overwhelmed when he's playing as the CAM. When he plays further forward, he seems far less unsure of himself. He seems better off just focusing on going forward.

i don’t think there are many cdk fans left at this point:lol:
he needs to build up some muscles in the summer if he wants to have a future as a striker in italy. he's already getting tossed around in midfield like brahim and usually doesn't see land against better defenders. 192cm tall and probably doesn't even weigh 75kg. a transformation like leao had would help him immensely.

I've never been a CDK fan.

But I've seen him be... far more decisive, meaner, and tougher when he's playing further forward. It's only been a few games, 2-3, but the difference has been stark, for me.

We would have won the league if we got a point everytime Sam said he isnt a Diaz nor CDK fan before praising them.

Any results would have been good for us.
Tomorrow Milan just need to not lose to Ladri and the season will have been successful.

Muriel really wasted his entire career at Atalanta. Really could've done better at a bigger club.
