Brighton spent 55m last summer on 6 players.

Enciso looks a steal at 11.5m and scored and played well vs the big teams in the league Estupiñán one of the best LB in the league that was almost 18m.

35m and sales you can get things done if you look in the right places.

Those players have to perform as well. No one expected Brighton to end up on the table where they did. Over-achievements like that raise player values big time.

i dont know, most of your posts dont seem so easy as the one above.

but my point is, if maldini built a solid team, and you firing him, shouldnt this mean you expect more, meaning aiming to win CL(you already won a serie A title and reach CL semifinal)?
or I see this wrong?
My take on this has been the same for months.
Maldini did an amazing job when he first take over by getting rid of shit players & buying good ones.
He created a solid core.
But then his work started to decline in a way that made the core weakened with each year to an extent where now we need another cleanup from shit players he signed.

Pioli isnt an elite coach.
People here were sucking his dick when i pointed out his sins mainly our builup & fluidity.
Yet he found a working system & he won us the league with 50% of attack not working.
However his work this season was sabotaged by poor mercato from Maldini.
I wanted him gone in winter because its the easiest way to salvage the season & i wanted Maldini to stay even if i see him guiltier.

RB had a meeting with him & am 100% he refused to meet them halfway so they fired him & i get the reason behind it.

Where exactly am not making any sense or said anything other than that?

Only cuz I saw the post and want to respond.

Galliani had #IturboMode signed, Silvio refused to outbid Roma.

The players career obv crashed after expecting to be a Milan superstar and instead having to spend his days playing for a club no one has ever watched on tv in their lives.

If CDK, Adli and Vranck somehow magically performed elsewhere next season, then Pioli backstabbing Maldini confirmed?
Vranckx hasn't impressed me even the slightest bit, therefore I never advocated for him to get many chances. Won't surprise if me he stays in midtable teams his whole career.
However, it's different for Adli and CDK. I am pretty sure both will have very good careers if they go elsewhere, especially Adli.

You're on the money here. On a side note, nero always surprised me being as awful as he was despite being mentored by Seneca the younger. A disloyal student who betrayed his teacher.
Something many of the terrible emperors have in common is youth. CDK couldn’t handle the pressure of Milan calcio at 22, imagine being given the reigns to the Roman Empire as a teenager with unlimited wealth, debauchery, and in someone like Nero’s case almost no connection to reality.

The emperors also tend to be slandered by the Senatorial class, who basically wrote or contributed to most of the histories that have come down to us. So, it’s hard to know how terrible they truly were.

Marcus Aurelius was a great leader and man. His meditations give us insight on the fortitude of his mind. Kin to a sage in my interpretation.

Poisoning was ever common in the time, the lust for power is compelling and only the strongest of souls can not be swayed by it's manipulation
What a tortured imperial reign he endured. In recent years, I’ve come to believe that the most impressive feat by the Romans was surviving the challenges that began under Marcus Aurelius (plagues and Barbarians at the gates) and continued through the Crisis of the 3rd Century.

Incredible men like Marcus Aurelius and a slew of Illyrians (Aurelian being my favorite) saved the empire and allowed it to continue for centuries in the west and nearly a thousand years in the east.

I cannot believe we keep having to talk about this myth of Pioli and young players. I’m wondering if some people here can remember anything beyond a month ago

I really wanted to know but i felt my post came off sounding dickish towards you so i deleted it.

Back in those days i was young and naive. It gave me hope, you had me believing G found a star talent and then whatever happened happened.

Hihi mario you are becoming annoying.

It's a serious question. Were they?

There's negativity, and there there's your current mood which is just inconsolable.

Snap out of it. we're gonna be fine, man.

American owners when taking over the club, hiring Maldini and purchasing quality players: These guys are the best, American revolution is coming to Serie A.

American owners after firing Maldini for a disastrous transfer window: I don't think these guys know what they're doing.

Never change RnB!
