Yeah, the shiny toys comment is perfect. It?s why Fassone and Mirabelli are jackasses. In any sport, you have to prioritize a system and find players that fit the system. Then, you have to gauge their personality and personal traits to see if they will gel with the team. Milan?s directors really seem to understand this.
Chelsea bought a bunch of players and turned them over to Frank fucking Lampard lmbo can you imagine?
Indeed!
And It?s a slow meticulous process. You add 1-2 pinches of salt, see your soup taste.
I often say, the fact that we are where we are atm is a bonus to me, I was prepared to ride a slow rise and enjoy the fruit in 3-4 years. As that?s the right way to do it.
Tbh...even though I supported it at the time (F&M overhaul market) because I felt we had too many mediocre players with shitty mentality, and they would drown the few new arrivals with their unambitious mentality... so I thought flushing as many as possible out to change the vibe at Mmilanello was necessary. Bringing in some hunger and ambition.
I learned that?s the worse thing we can do. Even if I have money to buy the top player of each position, I won?t ... you will likely end up with a lot of mismatch. Waste.
Thank heavens, this is still the way most money teams do business ... it?ll allow us to pick up their ?defective? or excess players on the low ... and show them ?ain?t nothing wrong with this, it works fine?...until they widen up.
BUILDING! and as you said, this management gets it!
