100%. They?re also really happy with their investment as they keep on investing more into it.

I think Elliott might end up owning us for as much as five more years, or even more, unless someone comes along with a perfect offer for their needs.
We're heading towards black numbers, once we're there they really won't need to invest that much and can just keep the wheels spinning. MMM will have increasing freedom to operate.

I just dont many of our fans mentioning getting back to the old glory days with the way we are run nowadays.
Back then we were an elite team that was able to keep our core & win several titles.
For those you need sugar daddys.
Now we are trying to be a self sustained team.
Those will occasionally win titles & usually get dismantled right after a hit with elite teams buying their players.
A crucial part of a self sustained club is to sell players.
Am not nagging , i embraced our reality & am enjoying the ride.

This is a lot better than what we had the las 10 years. I?m grateful that we now have an exciting team to watch every week. Are we already on or with the top 5 teams in Europe? No. Is it guaranteed that we will be? Of course not. But we will be regular challengers for the CL and unless something big changes that limits the impact of infinite resources, there?s not much more a club can do. We?re on a path that?s as good as it gets, without having to sell to a an Arab sovereign wealth fund or a crazy multibillionaire.
Call him to the first team while Theo is out

Its clear that our medical staff and fitness staff have done a horrible job. But to be fair Theo and MM injuries have nothing to do with that. This is just pure bad luck.
The guy is 17 and will turn 18 in a few weeks. Looks very impressive considering most of his opponents are 20-21. 2-3 years difference is huge at this age. The guy may grow into a great player in 2 seasons.

I am really worried about Tatarusanu. Having him cover a few games is one thing, but having him as a starter for 16 games sounds like a nightmare... And among these games are Porto (twice), Atletico, Liverpool, Roma, merda, Napoli, Viola, etc. This can easily turn the season around in a negative way.
I hope our attack stays fit and clicks well and compensates for our mediocre GK.

What Ryo said^
Mike is out now for a while, Plizzari too after his surgery. Tata would be our only keeper otherwise, so we need another two goalkeepers. Mirante coming in is fine, he provides that cover as does Jungdal. Maybe the latter just isn't trusted enough to step up in bigger games.

That's crazy, I'm always surprised when such things happen in the Nordic countries, usually they are safe. Luckily I never had any problems there, I've been in these countries quite often already (Finland every year recently), in Norway just two years ago.
Maybe he's some Viking descendant or whatever. Nowadays people get a lot of stupid ideas from tv, games etc.

It think it became impossible for us to leave the group and depending on how Napoli keep doing we might even be a bit far behind to mount a scudetto challenge. Mike is that important for us. 12 Serie A games (if not more) is just too many points that might be lost. That?s almost a third of the season.

Yeah, I don't know how some here have ended up with a positive opinion on Mirante and extremely negative on Tata.

Hitchens lost all sense hating on Tata for no reason and praising a past-it Mirante who was dire at the end of his Roma tenure. Still hope he succeeds here if he has to play of course, as with any player in our shirt.

Clearly. But Mike was just so damn good for us.

Our injury list compared to other top Serie A teams is an absolute joke!
It happened last year and now it has happened once again. Almost half of the squad is out. Clearly, something must be wrong and hopefully, the club tries to solve this problem. If we continue to have these kinds of injuries throughout the season, it will be quite difficult to maintain a top 4 finish.

Did they put him on class A morphine?

Apart from the Roma game, I can't remember a bad performance from Tata. And that was his first.
Actually, I remember thinking that I wouldn't be so surprised if he kept his place for a few games even after Donnarumma returned.
Just had a look at his thread and all the posts are positive. People are allowing their negative attitude to cloud their judgement. Or just the fact he isn't well known.
People forgave Donnarumma of making so many mistakes.

I don't know. Before the international break we played 7 games in 21 days, with many very intensive games like Liverpool, Atletico, Lazio and Juve. We looked fit af in every single one of them, even in the last one of that stretch against Atalanta.
I'm pissed too because of those injuries, there's a problem, can't deny, but I must say that our medical/fitness staff is also doing a lot of very good stuff.

A fair pasting.
I did moderate my initial strong take tho. Just a bit scarred after those howlers he had. Not exactly adept with his feet either.

As a keeper he?s fine, but we will badly miss Maignan? support during the buildup and his ability to sweep and his long quick clearances to Leao or wherever is in space. It?s a big reason why we could hurt teams at any moment.
