i started watching them a year earlier, so I have respect for you. And I agree he is a far better player, but i'm sure you know our problems over the past few years have not been solely skill issues as much as they have been motivational ones...keeping the players motivated and driven throughout the campaign will be the difference between success and 7th place. Napoli proved as much last season and i'm sure you'd agree having a more motivated but less skilled player would be your preference as opposed to a skillful player with no heart or drive to prove himself...conte is just scaring krasic and showing him who's boss. just like guardiola didn't start villa as soon as he arrived last summer...you have to show every player who's boss and that they have to fight for their place on the team regardless of how skilled they are...
