From Lichtsteiner to Dani Alves to Cancelo to Cuadrado to Jaoa Mario

The downfall of this club is insane. I dont think I've ever witnessed such a self-destructive club.

Not only did we took a month of negotiating a set fee for a dribbling monkey who's 5 feet 4, we also lost one of our assets for an inferior version as part of the deal.

Porto absolutely molested us in the board room. Mentally, financially and spiritually.

can we recall some actual upgrades from the last few seasons?

- bremer is one over basically anyone we had before
- thuram is ahead of rabiot, especially his mentality
- chico and yildiz are better than broken chiesa and weah
- i'd take in-form cambiaso over pre-retirement alex sandro. not sure about the cambiaso of the last few months lol

and that's probably all. the rest are downgrades as far as i can remember. compare the cardiff team, or even sarri's barely champion starting 11 with this one, and it's a shocking downgrade overall

Di Gregorio arguably over Szczesny in his final seasons too but that's about it, yeah...

sideways step. cheaper, shorter, similarly good shot stopper. woj had a few blunders every season but he was pretty stable, tall as fuck and he had some leadership within him too. i didn't mind tek at all. of course his salary was an abomination, that's why he's not our keeper anymore

what is in form cambiaso though? because maybe that was just pure luck and this cambiaso is real cambiaso level.

yildiz is not better than chiesa also. even this broken chiesa is better than a 19 year old who can't play an entire match without running out of breath. at least chiesa had ACL. what did yildiz have? too many kebabs?

Dude is just as ugly as Kelly. Another blow for team handsome.
Damn, the Handsome Scudetto getting further out of reach.

What's happened to this club?

I swear to God if we are truly buying and selling on who fits TUDOR I will lose my shit.

This bum ass manager giving insight on who to keep or sell is beyond retarded.

personally let's wait for juvejay and xperd to break down why we are wrong and club is better off for doing this deal. i trust their expertise since they told us how guintoli was bad from day 1

I don't care if he's 2 metres and a half if he makes mistakes. Tek was great with the accent on was. He was expensive and past his prime too imo. Barca exposed that too.

Di Gregorio is cheaper, younger, fitter, has better feet buuuut he doesn't have Tek's leader capacities. Tek was still very important in the locker room idd.

But this is the reason why I said 'arguably'. Might be up for debate ;)
