6 wins, 8 draws, 6 loss - 26 points - 1,3 PPG.


How is this good to you?

It's Inter man, their expectations shouldn't be very high. :)

I think they are bulding something there. Not a big deal, but it could be good and steady enough for a top4 challenge in the league in the coming seasons.

They can build something with better decision making, have decent core, but the decision making includes getting a better coach. Mancini besides coppa italia dominaton, is all about just relying on big money and players (lol at hist at saying he is a coach who can do well with cheaper assembled teams), his tactics and man mangement skills has been very lacking since he got to the big stage after Lazio to now, to go back to Inter and do WORSE then friggin Mazzarri is embarrassing, and far from good.

What? What do you mean cheap players who turn out great? You make it sound as if he's great at spotting talent.

Stankovic played for Lazio before Inter, Figo for Barcelona AND Real Madrid, Samuel for Roma, Cambiasso for Real Madrid, Maxwell for Ajax, Crespo for Lazio, Chelsea AND Inter and Chivu for Roma. Aguero was Atletico's biggest star and wanted by everyone, Silva was playing for the Spanish national team and Yaya had already played for Barcelona.

Each and every one of those names was very well established.
Samuel and cambiasso were madrid flops. He picked them up for peanuts and they then exploded. Its the same way Marotta is brilliant for taking Pirlo and Barzagli when everyone thought they were finished.

If you want unknown ones you still have Maicon (best fullback of his generation), maxwell and julio cesar.

Thats not what I said. I said he can cheaply assemble good teams. He is a better transfer director than he is a coach.

What makes you think he assembled these teams and was the transfer director? In italy they are just coaches, their input and opinion matters, but not final or relevant in decision making, not managers who are in charge of the transfers like in England.

Marco Branca was sporting (transfers) Director, then later Ausilio.

Branca followed the coaches be it Mancini or Mourinho. Moratti gave the coaches he liked a lot of power.

Branca gets blamed for the failures (frankly speaking alot of them) but no credit for the good players signed? Familiar tune. Yeah Influential coaches get a say, mainly with their ex players from previous jobs they want to bring with them (like Stankovic, or Mourinho with Quaresma...), but decision making and deal making is up to the sporting director, after the hands on President ofcourse.

I wasn't comparing them as players, I was emphasizing on principle haha. I've followed Doumbia since he was at FC Basel he's clinical he needs time to adapt.
Clinical in Japan, Switzerland, Russia, and CL group stages, mostly against shit teams + the joke of a CL team that is ManCity. He's never played in a top league against top competition, week in, week out.

He's better than he's showing at Roma, because he looks fucking clueless on the pitch, and Roma players provide him with absolutely no service, but he's nowhere near as good as his stats in those 2nd rate leagues suggest.
