On the one hand, you can arguably call Gigli a fool and a cheap bastard. And he pretty much is.
But on the other hand, one of the things I really about this year's squad is that we're not all about the fat signings of over-the-hill players past their glorious prime. This squad has its aging veterans to be sure. But we're not going out to recruit David Beckhams and instead are fielding some risky local talent like DC, Marchisio, etc.
That has done wonders for the respect this team deserves, IMO -- as it's successful football that's more than a fat checkbook and overloaded overseas talent.
