That's exaggerating
Best case scenario we can hope for this guy if and when he settles. Put him on overtime drills untill he starts hitting everything like that free kick and could pick a pass like few times he came up with otherwise no drive and slow as fucking turtle pointless to expect that from him.

Can someone please read me a fairy tale and give me hope here by giving and example of when a top player arrived at a big club, was shit for the first 6 months and then as if by magic turned into a world beater.

Their hatred is not only towards him but also towards who he joined. They'd be somewhat uncomfortable but ok if he joined Inter, whereas with us its a lot worse. Fuck them, hope koop shapes up his slow bitterbalen legs and fuck them up the next time we meet.

Almiron who was the new Veron just because he was a bald Argentinian who played the same position.

Ah thank you Sir. Yes definitely at his level.

Bench! Thuram locatelli mckennie midfield.

Or keep what he has and use yildiz in the CAM role..bangers and conceicao out wide.

Has motta been told to start him just to justify hisnprocetag and make giuntoli not look like a dumb shit?

Was thinking exactly this.

This flop needs to hit the bench hard

I'm thinking that he is not over his injury issues, or is at least managing them, and we've got a 70-80% player for as long as it takes. This happens a lot in football, and it's not helped by the lack of rotation and modern fixture list. Physically he doesn't look right to me.

There are tactical and maybe confidence issues (I'm not so convinced on the latter, as he doesn't seem like that sort of player) as well but I think this goes a bit beyond a player struggling in his first season. The way Atalanta play suited the way he facilitated moves, especially in transition with how they create space and are dynamic. You can see his vision but it's really not working with the rest of the team. I think he's talented enough that he should come good eventually, but there's question marks on whether that's under Motta or someone else, and whether he will ever reach Atalanta levels simply because he's out of that perfect environment and being tasked to do different things.

This.

Not uncommon for players to join other teams and not fit in...e.g. nedved...however it was lippi that changed his role and tactics which made him become one of the best in the world. This is my concern though..lippi one of the greatest managers versus motta...you just cant see motta making this work.

Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I didn't see him much at Atalanta so don't know how they played.

On the last part I think it's futile to judge anybody until we switch coach tbh. Much less worthwhile judging Koopmeiners and Co based on 6 months of the shitshow here vs years at Atalanta.
