The Rumour Commode XLIV: Paragliding to Piolistine Crisis

[patosheva]

Buongirono is top cb ,have speed ,great heading abilities,left footed,cheap wages.
Compering him to gabbia is just insane.

 

[IcyDiavolo]

I feel like this Buongiorno guy is no better then Gabbia. If we flipped and put Gabbia in Torino and Buongiorno here, people would be willing to spend 20m for Gabbia and ignore Buongiorno. Typical "grass is greener on the other side" situation here.

While I don't rate Buongiorno extremely highly, I do certainly think he is certainly better than Gabbia. Overall better read, more physical and stronger in the air. There's a reason he got called up to the senior NT. And I thought he did quite well when he did play for Italy. He has the tools. You feel as if Inter or Juve sign him he'd turn into a world beater.

Gabbia was merely a squad filler for us but if the most recent game has shown us anything (but still too small of a sample size imo), he has improved a bit since going to Villarreal. Let's see how he continues.

I don't like the price for Buongiorno but Good CBs are few and far between. We did a nice job with Tomori in this instance. But in his case we got the free trial. You never know with these mid-table teams. He could be like Leicester's Maguire before going to United. Not sure what he's like with the ball at his feet. Admittedly haven't seen enough of him in this department.

give cairo 20 mil +10% resale and colombo.
In summer sell gabbia pobega cdk sale =60-65 mil + 40 mil and we have 100 mil to spend get RABIOT for free

Incredible positioning by Adli there on that interception. Pioli mind blown.

 

[IcyDiavolo]

98th percentile for Interceptions vs all CBs across big 5 leagues is insane.

However passing / carrying not his strongest point, which is generally a quite important feature for top-level teams.

 

[Berisha1997]

i think it's more likely we sell tomori, theo or mike to boost our mercato budget

we dont need to sell our core players.

not sure what's weirder, the insistence on the 15 million colombo valuation or the fascination with rabiot as out cm

Hard to judge. A lot has to do with the teams playstyle. Also usually possession dominant teams have more opportunities for passes and ball stats.

Same with defensive stats, even the per90 gets inflated when playing in teams that defend a lot. Let’s compare him with other Torino defenders.

Harry Slabhead wasn't even that good at Leicester. He was alright They conceded less goal per game when he didnt play. Even if the sample size was small. The 2 seasons at Leicester they average 1.98 goals a game when he played. He has Southgate and England going to a World Cup Semi to thank for his move to United even if Bose wanted him for 30m cheaper the year before.

Pioli to Adli:

Someone photoshop Pioli on here

torino dont play passing game,they often just kick long to zapata or to wing backs.

On Radio Rossonera they said the rendering of the stadium in San Donato has been choosen. Soon meetings will be scheduled in San Donato at the Crowne Plaza hotel to expose the project

8 or 9 points behind Inter. Heading into the second half of the season. Inter expected to have a game in hand for a month and a half. Milan kicking into gear. Inter heading into a grinding schedule with no rest.

I've seen this movie before.

yeah another Pioli meltdown incoming

 

[Pigeon]

i thought we had already overcome the stage of denial

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

If Pioli wins EL or Scudetto not extending him would be a farce.

If he ends up 2nd or 3rd with good results and has a decent run in EL he should at least get his last year on his contract to show what he can do with a squad with more chemistry and a different summer preparation. It is not like the replacements are Ancelotti or Klopp. Neither Conte nor Motta guarantee more across competitions.

Not even winning EL earns him an extension in my eyes. Only a Scudetto does.

I think for everyones own good he has to go in the summer.

Even with a trophy the cycle is done, come on... This is utter torture.

The cracks are only being papered over, he isn't doing this squad any good.

And a factor to consider is squad value and our image to the world. I'm sure Gerry won't like what has happened this year.

I mean.. I don't understand why Torino would be so hellbent on getting Colombo, even to the point where they'll waive €10m in cash from the Buongiorno transfer. They've already got Duvan Zapata and Sanabria as strikers, so they're well covered in that department. (That being said, it would make some sense if they want to sign him permanently and let him continue at Monza for the rest of the season).

You forget Pellegri as well.

Who knows, maybe they will do us another favor

 

[papaberlu]

You know guys if they spend 20-30m on GoodMorning for Conte

I think they would spend the 5-6m it would cost to sack Pioli

 

[Kmoney]

This guy is 6 5”. He’s an absolute monster

 

[Kmoney]

At this point, one could argue that Buongiorno is an immediate upgrade over Thiaw

 

[papaberlu]

People discussing if Pioli should be kept if he wins the Scudetto or EL

I don't know if you guys know this but that last match was probably Roma's best performance in weeks. Without their best player, that shit midtable team managed to look their best vs Pioli

We just saw Pioli drool all over himself vs his nemesis Charles a week ago

This guy has no chance vs the likes of Liverpool, Inter, Leverkusen, etc.

 

[rossoner03]

They are going to take Pioli in summer if he leaves i think.

Best deal

What even is "Pleasures"?

Sounds like a sex toy brand... Can someone explain?

They do say once you go black... Can you still say that?
