Toli got the blinkers on and couldn't see we were getting fleeced and didn't seem willing to consider other options. He also didn't seem to consider how he would fit in Motta's system.
Atalanta played the situation perfectly and it was easy for them to do so. They knew we only wanted him and the more they dragged the situation on the more they knew we'd cave on the price.
It is something that you saw with Tici but at least he had the excuse of inexperience in the role.

Really needs to hit the bench. Bring him on as a sub late in the game. All this playing time isn’t helping his form, so might as well try something else.
This guy has a poor ball control for a midfielder, his passes are also not good for a midfielder. He is also slow. But his shoots are good, I guess. Perhaps try him as a number 9 or whatever is his position.
Bench him...play mckennie with thuram and locatelli in the midfield trio. The team has suffered all season due to trying to make koop fit in this team.
