Honestly?No.Not for me atleast.

Sorry guys i hate Ranieri.Even we are at good position i think he`s not the right man for us.We lost alot of points on stupid games and that should not happen.Including tonighs match.Even tho it sounds good "away game agains Milan and we got a point" , its not,at least not to me.They suck so much this season and can`t win anyone at San Siro.This was supposed to be an easy game for us.Still no chance for Tiago.Ranieri ruined him totaly just as he ruined my whole weekend with this pathetic point.
I`d say the same except the Tiago thing.Just insted of Milan put Catania.

Ranieri simply is no winner. His cowardice this season suprises me though and when he DOES tinker it doesn't make much sense. He's done a decent job at fixing our early defensive problems (though he may have also created them), but he still needs to do a lot of fixing elsewhere.

For all his faults, we have to make do with him at least untill the summer. Resultwise, he still has done above expectations, which deserves credit, the players seem to like him and firing him now will send the team into a downward spiral most likely.

But how will Juve qualify for a CL spot i we need players to do that now as soon as possible?
They are in 3rd...if they can hold on they'll find players that have a desire to play in Europe and they'll have more money to throw around as a result of the new sponsor money.

Benitez is a 4th or 5th place in England coach...no offense but I want a league winner. These coaches like Bentez and Ancelotti that abandon the league in November and focus on the CL are cheap.

So does Inter...don't believe everything the tabloids tell you.

I expected you to be more skeptical jack.

I'll believe that when I see him holding our jersey...then I'll throw up a little and accept it. Until then it's just another headline.

I'll cling to what L'uomo nero says before buying into the transfer market rumours.

Again anything can happen but VdV has been kept under their eye for over a year.

L'uomo Nero for me is also another tabloid, I ain't believing anything but what Gigli and Ranieri say and they say they don't want players.

and the next day they promise to sign champions.

bottom line is l'uomo nero has been very accurate so far

spot on. For all his faults this season i think he deserves the spot till the end of the season unless things go really downhill. There were many games that he takes a lot of credit for, in terms of subs initial and progressive tactics.

The only problem i see with him is consistency away from home( which is not an easy task). We need a plan to play those away games as i don't think we can achieve the same result using the same tactics at home and away.

cowardice? lets face it dom we re not dominating(pun not intended) either on the psychological or talent fronts like we used to besides Buffon Camo and Trez i dont see any of our players starting for either Milan or Inter. The point i am trying to make is we just dont got the means and the guy has to be prudent, especially if playing away and like you said considering our defensive options.

agree with you. But worth to mention that Camo played few games only so far...

Also i would like to say that Ranieri and Gigli from beginning were saying that they will NOT sign any players in January except those on free transfer. On all media questions about VDV ,Diego, Sisoko, Ranieri would say, yes, why not mention Kaka etc..Anyway, in regards to Juve's business element, its good that we are linked with top players, as company is valued more in that case and i think that was only reason why we did not hear any denial from our management. Right now, i think we dont have money for more than 1-2 top players.
Also as no one mention here except me, Tiago and Almiron were signed (not officially) in days of Deschamps, he said that by himself and Andy and few others should change their signature and stop moaning. Ranieri never wanted those players.

It is all media BS, and that is how it works. But some of you bought it , especially Andy, who even said in one of his comments recently that Ranieri ruined confidence of 2 players by saying stupid things to media.

Most of you hate Ranieri cos of media BS, and (or) lack of Tiago's game, and bad performace of our team.
But no one ever question our players, yes we do say, Noce had bad game, Tiago was rubbish, Molinaro shold go etc, but at the end we always find excuse for players, especialy for Tiago, and we know from whom too, but blame always come to coach..
I am not saying he is best, cos he is not, but he getting best of our current players right now, and till we are 3-4 this season, I will be happy. We dont have team who actually deserve to be more than 4-5th right now.
Management has to spend money on 3-4 top players if we want to go bit further otherwise, we will moan , and moan, and we will be where we are unless we buy.

I like Rafa, he is great tactician, but he is lost in epl, and i just wander how well could he do in italy.

Maybe Carlo could come, but he will be even less successful unless big money is spent on players

PS. Milan getting face lift of 100Mil, and if Jose comes to them, we will challange straight away..What a lucky bastard..
