Hustling is a skill, renewing a contract isn't. The managemnt are doing anything tricky here; anyone of us can perform the exact same job just by acting rationally and reasonably. Renewing a contract is not something we should be jumping up and down for in my opinion. If some people are though, that just says so much about how lower our standards have gotten.

Renewing the contract of your biggiest talent in the team, one who is dying to stay with the Club (if it was a player who would want to leave, would be another matter), its not a noteworthy feat to be praised. But one to be expected as being well over due to have happend.

yes but many times, players have left their respective clubs because of breakdowns in their contract negotiations...and tying up the hottest talent in Italy is certainly a big achievement

Its not a big acheivement at all, far from it. They had him already since he was 13, he doesnt want to leave whatsoever, the only thing they had to do was negotiate a basic salary figure, dot the i's and cross the t's, complete an overdue formality. How is that a big acheivement?

You know whats a big acheivement? If Balotelli's contract was up to run out and we snapped him up from Inter in the middle of their negotiation. That would be a big acheivement, prolonging the contract with someone who had 3 year long contract, and it would be a massive acheivement to even be remotely close to fucking it up, is quite a difference.

I am not someone that is gunho negative about the board, even if I give due critique, but to say renewing Giovincos contract is a big acheivement, is a c;ear testament to having quite low expectations, based on low trust in them.

They could have done something similar just with the Ibra deal. Include Balotelli in the deal. So simple but so hard to even think about it from our pee-wee board.

They didnt have Balotelli then, did they? Or he was signed by Inter just few months before that (but I think he signed for them early 2007, not 2006). Instead of going for him in deals with Inter, how about trying to sign him when he was trying out for every club around Europe just before Inter signed him.
