Surely it didn't go as planned. The plan was to move towards a more attacking style. Sarri was supposed to bring that. We gave him Matuidi, Khedira, Higuain, Danilo and Bernardeschi. It failed. I don't argue we should have kept Sarri, but IMO, Sarri was an attempt to move in the right direction. I want a coach with ideas. Someone who has a plan and will clean up and bring in players suited for that plan. I hate our approach of the past few years where we just bring in whoever is available. I feel like we missed the train of international success. And running after the train, we'll never catch it. We have to stop, and build a new train that runs faster so we'll catch it in the long run.
Essentially it's a crossroad of two options. A: go for the 10th scudetto and dont stand a chance in CL. B: rebuild. accept a second or third place but win the scudetto in 2-3 years, and hope for another period of domestic domination.
