Nope. Disagree with everything.

I would say there are zero world class players in this starting eleven excluding a healthy, in form Bremer (remains to be seen how good he will be post injury)

A backline of Gatti-Bremer-Kelly with average to good/decent at best players sprinkled everywhere is not an example of 'looks good' for me.

Coach matters as well. Our entire club from management to squad screams average atm.

Challenging for top 4 and making top 16 of CL is the best this team can hope for.
How many world class players do the other Serie A teams even have? how many true world class players are there in Serie A right now? A team’s strength should be measured relative to its rivals, we’re not in the Premier League where all the opponents have tons of world class players. compared to our domestic rivals, I think our starting lineup isn’t bad at all but as I said, not having a strong bench and the big gap between the starters and substitutes won’t let us compete effectively over a full season.

In Europe, the situation is different, at best, we’d probably be around the level of the top 16 or top 8 teams with this squad. And yes, the coach’s impact, as you mentioned, is definitely very important and can’t be ignored.

Di Maria wasn't a failure, I never liked him because of his injury history, portion of them were seemingly fake. Pogba was brought here at a wrong time and because of mismanagement.

Kolo is not worth 65m. It's another bandaid. He's not a 9.

He is a fine player but not the savior. He can become an anchor very easily.

Make vlahovic play. Our team is better with Bremer and Tudor, Vlahovic will score as a backup just fine.

Scrape 4th place and the books are clear next year. We have to cut the cycle of bandaids holding us hostage.

The reason we lose deals is because we never have leverage. Because we're full of unsellables.

I remember a bunch of clowns in this thread saying De Bruyne sucks, he’s past it, throwing a hissy fit about the rumors to JJ. He just scored on his debut.

:lol:
Wait 'till the busy end of the season to see if his legs hold out.

Lol @ trying to call someone out after one game against an obvious relegation battler even. So if Joao Mario provides another assist he'd be the second coming of Cafu then?
