On the other hand, they did the right thing when they bought Gonzalo. Pogba was already set to leave the club, it was only the matter of how much money the club would get from this transfer. At the same time, it was a year when Napoli came dangerously close to winning scudetto. Having bought...

That's actually the reason why I came to the conclusion that they know what they do. It's possible to make such a mistake once, it's silly to make it twice, but it's not a mistake but rather a plan if it's made thrice. They are smart people knowing what they are doing and almost always getting...

I doubt that it was a direct response to another CL failure. They used the unique opportunity they were offered to use, and they did it at the price of not buying the midfielder and the defender they needed. They were aware that with such midfield it would be impossible to win the trophy...

Apparently, only for us.

All emotions aside, here's what's going to happen next: nothing. If you want, this season still can be - and will be, no doubts about that, - interpreted and represented as the successful one. The board will surely take this position. 1. Serie A. It was the main objective set before the...

Costa follows the same pattern he had in BM, Cuadrado never was a WC player (he also failed in London, btw), and Mario's age is just the given. As for Dybala and Berna, yes, they probably could play much better in other circumstances (other manager, club, league). But there's something in both...

And even attack too, unfortunately. CR7 and Kean are great. But: - Dybala... I like this guy, but I cannot keep believing in his progress waiting for him just around the corner anymore. He's probably reached his glass ceiling and won't show anything better in this club. - Mandzukic. Mario is a...

Before the summer we knew that the squad first of all desperately needed a world-class creative midfielder and a world-class defender. They also needed a great fullback, because De Sciglio isn't good enough offensively, and Stephan went to Arsenal. The management successfully completed the...

Since the season is over, let's sum it up. 1. It was a very weird year. Right from the beginning and to the very end. 2. Initially the club wanted to buy SMS to the midfield and Godin to the defense, which made perfect sense. But then they bought CR7, which lead to a domino effect: Higuain had...

Two not that serious injuries ruined this team. 1. Chiellini picked up his usual springtime injury (nobody could've predict it, right?). He was fundamental in the 3:0 win against Atletico, as he was the main figure in both defense and the back line of the midfield of that hybrid 3-5-2 formation...
