What are we missing :conf:

I'm getting nervous.
Musa is one of those FIFA players with the weird growth curves.... he's at 50 in 2024...-5 in 2025 and 70 under Conte.... Napoli sells him for 60M to Barca where he gets 90 :eek:

A quick reminder, Vitinha was a fodder struggling to get into Wolves starting lineup where at the end of his loan, Wolves declined to activate his buy option. Now he's one of the best mids out there. Moral of the story, one club's fodder could be another club's treasure, so don't be so quick on giving players the fodder title. Wait until they prove to be shite first.

Exhibit A: Royal has proven to be a fodder for us, i mean he could still be Cafu reincarnated, but certainly not here. So sell the fodder!

Exhibit B: Ricci has a fodder-like potential, but until he actually comes here and plays like one, hold your horses, there's a 50% chance that he's good.

good fella

We don't talk enough about how unreal Zeman's Pescara team in Serie B was.

Dude developed Insigne, Verratti, and Immobile that season. Easily 3 of the top 10 Italian players on the last 15 years, all on the same Serie B team. Just wild

Ricci is a steaming pile of shit period

Plus he is italian

I would take Ricci over Roy Keane though.

On a positive note, I'm happy with the appointment of Barzagli as an assistant coach, an under-rated defender that moved from Palermo to Juve where he became an essential player for Ladri and Italy. Should work exclusively with our defense and work to improve them individually and tactically.
Yeah, I'm pleased with it too. Was an incredibly solid player and a strong pro.

Plus, he just won... 8 time Serie A winner, won the Bundesliga, won the World Cup. That's a guy that is tough not to respect

He was also able to stay effective a long time, which points to solid game intelligence imo. Happy to have him

The musah rumor is too good to be true. Don't fall into the same trap AGAIN. We can't get rid of our fodders because we have a pathetic, non-existent management.

More probably it will be a 2 million loan with option to buy for 8 millions (paid by us, not them).

Serbia NTs keeper got cut.
If they had bought Mike, Two keepers would have had to get cut.
This team is such a meme.

Maybe it works out for him. Who knows. He’s got the passion and fire. That may work on motivating players. You don’t have to worry about burning out players as you would day to day at club level.
Motivation only works so far.
When the players themselves are talentless fucks, you can only motivate so much.

The interview was alright, mostly about Merda and Italy's failures.
This is the only 6 seconds that matter.

We literally kept Gattuso for the whole season in 2018/19 and he jobbed the qualification in the last 2 months
Leonardo wanted to sack him and appoint Conte at the time to save the season but Capitano Paolo stopped him, we ended up 5th place and then Paolo and Boban appointed Giampaolo

Not true. He had a shit squad and brought them within 1 point of 3rd place.

The following year he wanted to bring in Ibra and more experienced players with a mix of young players which at the time i think management didnt agree with because Gazidis had that no player over 25 rule or some shit.

We parted ways with him, and he gave all the money back to Milan (5.5 Million) from his severance pay. We signed Giampaolo everything went to shit, then got Pioli and then in January signed Ibra which changed the trajectory. With Gattuso we were on an upward trajectory, and closest we got to Champions league in all of banter era

I bet there were fans on Wolves RnB who said "yeah yeah I hear about this potential, but I doubt he'll ever grow a proper brain".

There is a player somewhere in Musah, so I wouldnt be surprised if he turns out good.
But a deal between 20m and 25m is too good to refuse. He has indeed a low football Iq, and for us atm is too much of a gamble.
I have never seen a midfielder as dumb as Musah pan out

he'd probably make a fine wingback under Conte though

As you can see I firmly believe in Conte's ability to turn shitters around but Musah would be his masterpiece

If we're talking about stats



Tomori has gone downhill so badly that a two season injured 34 yo has more pace then him

Shambolic
