I didn't single him out, you did. I said both were flops and I don't know why Melo wasn't sold but Diego was; maybe because of his attitude or loss of suitors. Melo's whacked in the head sure, but he's a much stronger character than Diego, IMO.

I'm talking of mentality, the ability to pick yourself up and improve after you hit rock-bottom, not work-rate on the pitch(which is the only thing Diego surprised me with).

I don't know. He was as big of a flop as Diego. Perhaps it's just because of that attitude or maybe loss of suitors?

Cop out my ass, just look at his performances for Wolfsubrg, that's a direct effect from his failure here. The guy doesn't know how to cope with pressure, never did. 15m is better than 10m which Wolfsburg will (maybe) get. As for Martinez and the likes, I'm not justifying any purchase we...

Cutting our losses. Diego doesn't strike me as a player who has Melo's never-give up attitude. I doubt it he could have picked up after last year's performance and the whole pitch whistling him.

I can agree with the gist of your post 100%, one player can never carry a whole team. The blame lies on Secco and Ferrara, they're the ones that made the wrong decision to go and rebuild, instead of build upon our team. That's why I used the term "indirectly", meaning not by his fault directly...

Yes, I think it's from March to November. Though from this year or next, they'll start like the other European countries.

We were having those because Diego fanboys like you laughed at my statement Modric is a more complete player and more suited for us than Diego. Modric was my personal preference at the time but doesn't mean we were in any position to sign him. And yeah I was pissed but not because we signed...

But you just brought him up. :shifty: Sour grapes? No. I can't be mad about something that was never a possibility. I'm bitter about not signing Modric as I'm bitter about not signing Cristiano Ronaldo.

That was always a figment of your imagination. We never stood a chance of signing Modric because we couldn't afford it. I don't like Diego because he's a sad excuse for a player, just like you're a sad excuse for a person, and I like him even less because he cost us money. There's plenty of...

:lol2: I bet you're red in the face right about now. It gives me enormous pleasure to see how I can still get you to stoop to your pathetic level so easily. Once a spoiled brat, always a spoiled brat. Hey, just like Diego!

Achievement of a career! What a milestone. We were 2nd when we bought him. Finished 7th. So at least with Krasic we didn't take that much of a step down. So again your logic fails. I'm glad you're still bitter about Modric being the superior player.

Porto, Juve, Wolfsburg. Every move that mattered, he flunked and decreased his value significantly.

But Diego doesn't do well for his clubs, he makes them worse. I thought that was clear by now.

How could I have said it when he left? The jury is done with Diego. Krasic is still here and if he leaves tommorow, he'll be a failure just like Diego. He's more useful because he's not a Brasilian primadonna. Diego plays on one position on the pitch and a position where you need to be WC to...

Then we should have waited with signing Diego as his market value now is much more realistic. Worse or not it doesn't matter. The jury is still out on him as is on the whole team, bar Buffon and Chiellini, but Diego is gone, gone, gone and never to come back. Hopefully he ends up back in...

Exactly. Fans here were tipping us for the CL, not just the Scudetto. Plus Krasic cost 10m less. Quoted for the truth. Both of them failed or the team failed with them as key players, but Diego's fail was much bigger if for nothing more than the mere money invested in him and the...
