Never say die attitude aside, they both did poorly last season. Why wasn't Melo a 'loss' to 'cut'?

Well apologies in that case. He was definitely a victim of poor management and bad timing. I do think that with time however, that this team could have grown with him with new support coming his way. And that's what this thread is about - should those failures be taken at face value and do they...

But you're missing my point. A team should never be built around one certain player ever. The team may very well have been built around Diego by Ferrara and Secco, but that is not Diego's failure its theirs. Just because a player is the main attacking focal point it does not mean he shouldn't be...

;)

And how well do you think the rest of the team was complementing Diego last season? I would say he had maybe even less support then Krasic has had.

Can't disagree on Marchisio though. If there's one player that knows how to stay in the same place for 90 minutes straight, its out boy Claudio. Kudos.

:lol: Especially at Canna. Chiellini though has been our best player for a long time now IMO, in saying that Diego was always our protagonist going forward. It was Diego, and only Diego making a concerted effort to actually get the ball moving to our goal and I guess if he didn't perform at 100%...

I'm not disagreeing with you at all really. I just think if you're saying a team is built around one player, it's purposely made like that. This seasons team was supposed to use Martinez on the left with Aquilani spreading the ball and Quag providing more opportunities for attack. Krasic and...

I don't really buy all this team built around one player business. What is it about Diego that makes him so different from other attacking mids that need strikers, wingers or fullbacks running into space for him? Not necessarily. Most 4-4-2 teams rely more heavily on wingers. It just so...

Well observed and said, Andy. The only real way we're ever going to get the best out of our most talented players is to slowly accumulate them season by season. The management is right when they say we should have patience but the truth of the matter is that we are going no where fast by selling...
