Its a good place to grow. Low expectations, good money and attacking football. Plenty of game time and a coach that knows how to get youngsters to do well. Its way too soon for a truly top team.
I wouldnt be so sure, in the last 6 years Arsenal have hardly produced a top talent. Persie and Fabregas are the last big exports. This team is detiorating under arsene vineger.

Arsene Wenger is not a fine wine that ages well, but a loaf of bread that went stale 6-7 years ago.
I actually feed bad for Arsenal fans for having to put up with this bullshit.
As much as I love Allegri and Conte, do you think for a second that they wouldn't be sacked after two years of winning no titles (now I admit Juve is a much bigger club than Arsenal, but still) and this guy has been in charge for 11 years after his last successful season.

Yeah, nothing about that seems realistic. Us not being able to score against Crotone at home? I get that they're fighting for relegation but I just don't see it.

It really is stupid. We just won against the French champions at home (even though we didn't have to) and people question if we'll win against a relegation fighting team, in a game, where we will be able to become champions.

:agree: title has been a lock for a while now. who cares if we don't win every single game? As long as the trophy comes here, that's all that matters. Juve have clearly shown they are able to step it up big time when they have to.

I'm pretty sure Allegri didn't plan to fuck up three games in a row, but come on. Had the Coppa final not been tonight (and we had to play a much stronger side this sunday), I'm sure Allegri would've fielded the strongest team against Roma and we would - at least - have drawn.

This one of the most brutally open, honest and at the same time most defeatist words I heard a GM/Sport director of a top club ever said IMO, recommended reading for any Serie A fan:

Piero Ausilio

“We started the campaign with great enthusiasm from the new owners, a Coach who had begun pre-season training, then a week before the start of Serie A for a thousand reasons either we decided to send him away or he left,” noted Ausilio.

“So we went for a Coach who didn’t know Italian football. But in that case even those without imagination could tell it was no good way to start a season, because you are behind compared to everyone else.

“You have to start the training regime all over again, get to know the players and create the concept of a team that was built with a different system in mind. He trusted some players rather than others.

“Football clubs are like businesses, if you don’t plan well, you can run into a negative campaign. This year Inter did not plan well. We changed four Coaches and will finish seventh or eighth.

“And yet the Inter squad is made up of good players. Anyone who says the squad is poor now said a few months ago that Inter were the main antagonists to Juventus. Max Allegri said that, so did Maurizio Sarri and Luciano Spalletti. But if you don’t plan properly, it’s all relative.

“As a club, we need to be stronger when communicating. When we were about to face Juventus in Turin, a newspaper had on its front page Conte to Inter. We lost the game and for the entire week the only talk was about a Coach who would replace Stefano Pioli.

“In those moments you have to give the Coach support. There are television stations that transmit 24 hours a day and have to fill that airtime with something. Apart from Spain, there’s no other country in Europe where three different daily newspapers are dedicated solely to sport, so they have to invent something on players and Coaches.”

Ausilio confessed that the problem at Inter is the lack of cohesion, with various 'cliques’ created in the locker room.

“Juve are strong now, but we have to see what they’ll be like after losing those four or five players who give them their structure, character and mentality. You can’t buy that on the market.

“If you lose in one go Javier Zanetti, Esteban Cambiasso, Diego Milito and Walter Samuel, you lose those players who went through the negative times and emerged to taste success.

“It’s not as if the players don’t train hard at Inter. We are there every day. There is no sense of solidarity, they haven’t been able to create a group due to various ages, backgrounds, ethnicities, but also characters and human values.

“These are not bad lads, they arrive in the morning, have breakfast together, train and then stop for lunch. It’s a struggle to find negatives, but they certainly have their defects.

“There isn’t one large group that shows solidarity player to player. There are many little groups and lots of people who think only of themselves.

“Nobody does more than the absolute necessary, there is no great collective willpower.”


It is perhaps because of this attitude that Inter are so determined to sign a Conte-style Coach.

“We must deal with contractual situations and the market. We are thinking of Coaches with those characteristics, but then you see all the top tacticians are at Chelsea, Tottenham, Atletico Madrid, Juve, etc.

“We have to face up to the reality of the situation.”

regarding losing four important players:
He doesn't realize that Juventus have always been winners and always gave their player structure and mentality rather than the other way around. And Inter haven't won a honest scudetto since 1989

Gagliardini wants out?
ofc he wants out, he is a massive juventus fan

but ocelbot meant something different
There was a supposed interview from Gagliardini which described terrible locker room atmosphere at inter and that players hated each others and such things. Later he denied that interview but everybody knows it's true. I can already see balkan gang bully tranny lolzillian gang, icardi force nagatamo to do the math homework for the kids etc
