a churchy a day keeps the win away
Cerci has deactivated his Twitter and Instagram accounts.
It's also reported that Cerci is pushing on reaching a deal for joining Genoa.
churchy lel. moral of the story is to never buy any players anymore unless they are world class level like verratti. I want to see a complete overhaul. Preferably with very few italians in the team. Romagnoli and donnaruma is enough. Rest all should be non-italian. italian talents are a joke these days anyway.
So tired of the hit-and-hopes
Really only Bonaventura and to some extent Antonelli have ever really come through in this group. The various
Cerci's/Acerbi's/Constants/Mesbah/Matri's/Traore's/Muntari's/Boateng's/Montolivo's etc have all either failed or failed to impress.
Surely from ALL the fucking money we spent on quality, we could have bitten the bullet and gotten a few quality players or highly rated prospects and been better off today.
That's not to say proven names don't fail. most of this forum are against Diego Lopez and NDJ. I simply think Lopez is out of form and NDJ is expected to do too much non-destroyer work.
In other news, why do I agree with swagger so much these days![]()
Am I now a moron or is he now a genius?Or have we leveled out eachother
j/k swaglove ya
none of those players apart from the exceptions you made yourself, were hit-and-hope. we received what we paid for and only exactly what we paid for. because that is what galliani wanted to sign. below average players on the cheap.
and when you're a fan whose constantly (no pun there) had to see these purchases made, a signing like jack or kucka becomes a god in your eyes, when rly they're just only decent and nothing special. but most of all, they make an effort within their limits on the pitch.
hit-and-hope is, yes, more along the lines of jack and romagnoli...i am hoping with romagnoli we've struck it rich there.
The "hit-and-hope" means we hoped that they would/could come good for us when we got them. Jack definitely falls into that group.
But there were a lot of posts about Acerbi coming good for us, there were tons of pro-Constant posts before we got him and in truth he did very well in his first year, there were surprisingly a lot of pro-Matri posts () etc.
So I'm saying that we need to stop signing a TON of these guys and do what swagger says and just focus on genuine World Class players.
Imagine if instead of all of those in that list, we actually had a Pastore or a Marcelo or a Fabregas etc...how much better shape would have been. Still not world beaters, but with a good team, you have a better chance of upgrading to a great team. It's far more difficult to make the jump from "shit" to "world beater".
The thing is that if we had started slowly re-building our 2007 team, we wouldn't have needed the fantastic direct injection of cash/players that $hitelegri got to win the scudetto....
If onlyfocused on 1-3 three world class players per season then in no time we'd have been on top already.
Imagine if instead of bringing Princess back, we just tossed out Cerci and made do with taking SES back and whatever we get from the Primavera, with Niang occasionally deployed on the wing.....we could later then make a move for a Yarmolenko (for instance) and VASTLY improve our rw.
Instead we're hitting up Boateng and hoping that he played like he used to before iBra left.....which isn't much of a guarantee at all.
Then of course there's the fact that our ability to attract star or even good players become diminished each time we stack up on the fodders....Adriano has all right to think that Shaktar is in every sense better than Milan atm.
Let me make it clear, we dont necessarily need world class players but like ikita said, we need players that are ready to take the step up to the next level. Players who are on the rise, youth prodigies and perhaps star players from the higher end midtable teams or quality scrap players from the elite teams.
Btw leaf and ikita, both of you are spot on.
But just one thing though, ikita, had we signed conte, i really think he could have attracted better players. See the kdog case for example. He rejected us and chose inter purely cause they have a better coach supposedly or you could just say a more appealing coach. Miha was a newbie, hence kdog probably thought that it was better for him to play ubdrt a more experienced proven coach. I dont think mancicni is better than miha by any means but you get what i mean.

Agreed....but that's even more of an argument to sign World Class or near World Class players.
1 We aren't currently successful
2 We don't have a great coach
At the very least, we could have a good 3 or 4 players for them to even think we would have a chance.
The forst player will be expensive as fuck. We'll have to seriously overpay...but it will get better as the time passes.
At presentnegotiates like it's 2007 and we just won the CL....but in reality we don't hold the cards anymore. We aren't in the position of power so end this talk of Player X was too expensive etc. We could do that again when we've actually won something and we can tell other clubs and agents that if your dude wants to join US, you have to do it on our terms.
