I'm amazed whenever anyone cheers or encourages us to sell Theo or Leao.
We've seen how good they can be. They're not veterans. They're in their peak years. It just takes a good manager to get it out of them...Give up any hope that we replace either with a player that can get to their peak form.
These same people, want to keep Maignan. A goalkeeper that has been far weaker for far longer and can certainly be replaced with a cheaper alternative who is better.
Call me crazy, but he does go down as a legend. Purely on goals scored. Is he our highest goal scoring defender? For me, better than Serginho and only 2nd to Maldini as best LB.
Agree people are ungrateful af when it comes to Leão, Theo, and Maignan. Like it or not, they’re still among the few real quality players we have left. The problem isn’t them, it’s the messed-up management and the toxic environment around the club dragging everything down. These guys are proven winners. If we want to become a real powerhouse again, we need to build around them, not treat them like liabilities. Sure, new signings like Ricci might be easier to slot into the system, but let’s be honest, they haven’t proved anything yet. At best, they’re solid Roma-level players, not game-changers. We need to get serious about maximizing our top talent instead of scapegoating them for everything going wrong.
