Happy to admit i was wrong about Italy.

Playing with far more imagination than i had expected. Definitely a whole being greater than the sum situation with them.

Albania are a well organized side so the performance so far is nothing to sneeze at.

Di Marco has recovered from the brianfart as well.

We can give useless players we have. We need to clean up our squad honestly. Might be a good opportunity to include miretti and hans

If we go by the most recent rumors it seems that including counterparts is going to be very complicated due to Bologna’s sell-on fee to Basel and the difference in evaluations, however another way to do it is to maybe focus on making a few more direct sales ourselves to raise the necessary funds to pay up outright.

Interesting. I heard Bologna wants 50M which is a ridiculous fee. Wouldn't feel bad if we sell outright Miretti, Hans, and Huijsen. I have my reservation on selling Soule though.

I expected the creativity or at least the off the ball movements to allow Spalleti's vision. I think the set up will work better against better teams as there are a lot of runners out there.

A question for people who watch football; I have mainly seen Pellegrini play against us. Whenever I have seen him over the years he has been largely invisible 90 mins but finds himself in the protocol for an assist or goal. How good is he really? I can't really get my head around him.

Edit: on the other hand... Albania is sitting deep so we can have our width through Chiesa and Dimarco, to allow Pellegrini to roam. But against a better team Dimarco will not always be able to provide that width since he starts from deep (now he sits more as LM/LW). The counters will be easier to stop since opponents can focus on sticking close to Scamacca and Chiesa.
