The biggest issue is that Serie A requires an attacker to be a bit more clever than other leagues, unless you are truly special individually. I just think the demands here have him completely stumped. Maybe he needs an extra year to figure it out, as lots of foreign transfers have. But, so far, he seems lost as to what to do here
But why is it always our new players that "need time to adjust"?
Other teams across Italy unearth players yearly that hit the ground running... What's the issue at Milan? Scouting or coaching?
It's happening a little too often, and the inconsistencies in why some are defended or attacked is baffling at times.
I can say the players I've been hard on are Messias, Diaz, Origi, ChK Krunic and RLC... None are starting quality for Milan. That's the crux if my issues with them.
A few have "Gotten on base", but it's funny how some on that list get a hard time for being signed by one management and the others are shielded from any negative comment or criticism.
Some players adjust, some don't, but let's not keep rolling out the reason for players being duds is that they all need time.
Sometimes we just sign bang average players, and they should be called out as such.
Salad, bang average, scored goals in the CL, cost 6/7 million, low wages... Messias, delivery driver not long ago, 6/7 million cost, low low wages, scores some CL goals...
Both functional squad players that cost very little, but ultimately weren't and aren't Milan starting quality... Neither is ChK!
