The Mike saga is a little bit more complicated than him wanting to leave us for greener pastures. I think there’s some resentment on his part for how the club didn’t negotiate his renewal as enthusiastically and punctually as he would have liked a few months ago.

Oh shit, my bad and have no interest in stereotypes but for some reason thought Tare was Romanian. Remember Chivu as a very good player in Serie A but hadn't heard that name in ages until he got the Parma job.
Was working with Inter youth teams . Has good results there . Appointing him does not sounds crazy .

Looks like Chivu will be the new Inter coach after Fabregas rejected them
I don't think even the most optimistic Inter fans can spin this to Inzaghi 2.0... Simone was already established sort of, played Conte's system AND had a much better/younger team... This Inter is sheeet, their ultra-lucky CL run masked a lot.

It's so over for them :love:
Huge blunder from Marotta first & foremost. Inzaghi's wife went to Saudi to check out places to live back in April and Marotta had to presume a huge contract offer will be made to Lemone... Allegri would run to his old pal if he/they knew it would end like this. As soon as I saw that 26 mil/yr ctr offer I knew Lemone was He-gone. How Marotta didn't see it is beyond me. He was on how much, 4 mil/yr? Dude's settled for life and in 2 yrs time Italian clubs will still be lining to get him.

I still mantain he'd settle for Palladino if Palladino didn't already gave his wprd to Atalanta.

How are there so many parasitic creatures in one locker room I can’t

I told you the whole year. Even a blind man could see how our so called leaders were leading shit and not only giving a fuck, but rather a bad example for the others to follow.

Cooling break incident, penalty gate, questionable interviews abroad saying passive aggressive things like "here with the NT I feel appreciated", jogging in the most important games and stuff. Remember how Gimenez talked about the breakfast club for players who want to voluntarely train before breakfast but so far he's the only club member?

Yeah maybe they had their good reasons to act out, but they're still professionals payed huge contracts for Serie A standards. This was not okay and for sure not tolerable eventhough our management made everything worse by, well, tolerating that behavior.

What did Mike do that showed a lack of professionalism?

Have no clue why Cambiaso is talked about so much. He is as much average, as average gets. Sure, get him. But I fail to see how this guy is worth more than Kalulu for example....yet some of the figures mentioned for him are as much as 40m. How the fuk??? I'd argue Kalulu should he valued higher actually, and Juventus got him for 20 (at most)
If he wasn't Italian he'd be in Gosens-tier max.

So the squad was poorly prepared physically by the staff selected by our management?

You're a professional athlete, it's part of your job to keep yourself in the best shape possible to perform on the pitch (i.e. do your job).

I agree but the bulk of their training comes from the coaching staff, if Conceicao was able to change things so drastically, it doesn't seem like Mike was resistant to it by being unprofessional, but by the poor environment, no?

You don't see this as a failure of management when Mike has wanted to extend for a while and they have dragged their feet?
Not just Mike

Tomori, Origi, Theo, Chuk etc. all of them same bullshit

Morata was the rare actual professional who realized the club didn't want him and moved on without dragging his feet. bless him

What did Mike do that showed a lack of professionalism?
His plaguing injuries probably have something to do with professionalism

also publicly nuking your club's transfer leverage is pretty unprofessional too

Caprile is the other one mentioned by most media and my favorite among Italians because won't cost a lot and has a ton of potential. When he replaced an injured Meret at Napoli they didn't miss a beat. At Cagliari was outstanding, big reason why they avoided relegation.
Yep, Caprille is the best one there. VMS is maybe more attractive with his superb saves and his towering stature but that guy also conceded silly goals. Svilar was best gk of the season, hands down but Caprille has the potential to surpass him imo.

I read many ratings of our players this last season and to me Mike was truly awful. Fuck highlight save here and there when he directly cost us numerous times. When I remember his butterfingers against Cagliari or Feyenoord I start to hiperventilate.
