*Raises hand* I simply don't see how one can call Krasic a major coup for the club when he's always wanted to join. His former employers settled for 15M for the lad, which isn't a bad price, but that isn't a steal by any means.
Umm, how about the fact that he cost us 12M Euros? Is that not as obvious?
I think that's a bit of hyperbole, Serge. Manninger hasn't been a complete disaster when he's played, and last year I thought he did well when Buffon was out.
I'm finding myself agreeing with Kyle. 3M Euros per season is a bit steep after being cut from a provincial club like Genoa.
Earlier in the season Aquilani was doing well as a central midfielder, playing the ball well both deep and beyond Melo. Then halfway through he struggled. So I doubt it's about the role he was given, but who knows.
We'll have to sign another midfielder anyway.
Wait a minute. Are you attributing all our problems at the time to the loss of Quag? Because I simply don't agree with that. Problems were already in the pipeline, proven by some of the Europa performances and our performances as a team in Serie A even with Quag.
David Luiz might disagree. At least Matri has done better than an off-form Torres, though.
Pretty expensive squad player if you ask me. And apart from having a good game against Genoa, he really hasn't done much for us, in my view. I would rather just give him back and find a player in the Bosman market.
