One thing I hope we put to bed where the CL is concerned, is 'defence wins championships'

Sure, leagues yeah. But this is 1000000% not the case. If you play like Madrid play in the CL, your defence doesn't get tested much at all. The old school Italia method has failed us in finals time and time again. You take the game to your opponents in the CL final, or you fuck off home.

We need one fantastic, rapid winger at least and a top CM. Preferably 2 wingers.

We sure as hell didn't play the old school Italia way. Had we done that I'm convinced it would have been a much tighter game.

109m just from CL
They stated they could buy Higuain even without Pogba sale
We can make another 40-60 millions selling our dead wood
Plus money from Sponsors, money from Allianz Stadium name
Money is here and we can for sure spend easily 200-300 millions,its just matter does our board want that or not...anyways without spending big we cant win CL,actually we can maybe accidentaly like Porto did few years ago,but we are not that level club to participate accidentaly in CL

from 40th min onwards we shut up shop

First 40 we were taking the game to Madrid in phases, and looked better than they did. When this stopped, so did our chance of winning.

Buffon probably has 2 more years left. We really need to win the UCL for him. I want to see strong investment since the added revenue from the final and the lack of contribuition of other italian teams. We will probably earn the most from the champions league out of every other club (although we lost).

There's no Fucking excuse, spend the cash, we make it back. You can't keep weakening parts of the team and buying Rincon's to make it up to Allegri. Rincon. The short sightedness of that move. You want to win the champion league? Can Rincon aid you with that? No, can Lemina? No

That wasn't shutting up shop, it was opening a supermarket. No old school Italia team would play like that. Our positioning was the worst since our defeat against inter in the early part of the season.

What was our net spend last Summer? Barely anything iirc

Don't think our board want to blow mega money, even if we have it.

I never said we done it well, but when you have our entire team 30 yards from goal with zero outlet, it's shutting up shop. We just done a piss poor job and done it against the worst team on earth to try this against.

Plz, no more of this "win the CL for Buffon".I feel like it puts extra unneeded pressure on him

Rincon was a January acquisition. He came at a time when clearly there was shit all around. Summer is where the fun starts.
