Pogba out
new shitty Raiola player who'll never play here
Beppe replacement
BALOTELLI
Ibra :mut:
...
Whoever signs or attempts to sign Balotelli for this club should resign from their post on the spot
If we signed Balotelli me and Juventus would be done. You have my word. There's only so much mediocrity i can take as a Football fan, that's crossing the line.

why no shaqiri? I don't get it. The worst that can happen is that he doesn't fulfill expectations and you could sell him back to Germany for 10m. Does their bank only make big payments to Udinese's account?

Management does some crazy things and get bailed out by positive results in weak Serie A.
I don't think that we will get results this year even in this "weak" Serie A.,being first I mean.

it has to do with patience, mainly the owners.

look at someone like klopp do you think hed survive as a milan/juve/roma coach with that kind fo start?? in italy a coach is more concerned about holding on to his job than actually doing his job
And Alegri was an example about this in his Milan days under Galliani/Berlusconi .

Well thats what Milan did even in his first yr.
He dint ask for those players.
And we all saw what happens to that Milan after that first year .......

One of the reasons the Bundesliga is the most exciting league in the world, they value and guide their youngsters. And nothing in Football screams more for passion than a bunch of kids trying to make a name for themselves.

Serie A is light years behind it's scary.
There u answer ur own question. German top players dont wanna play in Serie A. Its Real and Barca or the EPL, IF they wanna leave the Bundesliga.

Calhanoglu just moved to Leverkusen and they r building an exciting team..they dont need money so they wont sell him.

Meyer is one of the highest rated German Schalke would never sell him for a reasonable price..impossible to get for Juve.

De Bruyne just moved to Wolfsburg and is a total success..Bayern & Co. already all over him, but even they know that there is zero chance in the near future..earliest 2017.

Firmino wont be sold this winter..no serious German club sells in winter and Hoffenheim dont need money now..they ll finish this season with him trying to reach EL and then decide in summer. If there is no buyout clause, then IMO he ll cost 30m€. Many clubs ll try to get him and if Reus goes to Real instead of Bayern, then I see them going for Firmino instead..anyway it ll be huuge competition to get him.

This is where our scouting team needs to come into play. Italy doesn't have the prestige or finances to compete anymore so top players need to be found young and while unknown. I think this is a major factor in our loan & co-ownership process is trying to get them developed and the ability to bring them back. As for the second one, co-owns, it could be costly to bring back our own players but certainly not as costly as buying someone like Firimino from Hoffenheim. We operate entirely with our budget in mind.

Plus we have the 24.5m Diego buy still haunting us.

:agree:

And there's something to consider... The Copa América will obviously take place before the Pre-season window opens so depending on how Firmino performs for the national team his price could go really sky high. The competition between the oil clubs and the Spanish ones should be interesting.

That is if Bayern doesn't sign him first. But then what of Gotze?

And like you said those youngsters have no reason to leave Germany right now. They're in the best place at the right time when it comes to Football.

I'd say we should be scouting the Copa but we won't be the only ones there.

If the rumours are true, Inter will be getting Shaqiri


So they can use Podolski on the left, Shaqiri on the right. So it takes a club with a fraction of our pulling power, revenue and wage budget with a new coach a couple of months to sort out their width issues, and 3.5 years on we're still waiting. Fucking pathetic. I know the whole "It's easier to improve shitter teams" excuse. But in this case the fact we have no fucking wingers means that those exact same players could have helped us too.


4-3-1-2 is an improvement on the 3-5-2, but it's still out dated and too narrow to work at the top level unless you have some sort of fantasy XI

So they bought 2 wingers ? Doesn't mean they beat us in any way, the difference in quality is still huge. If Podolski came to Juve, people wouldn't be enthusiastic at all.

I think the point he was trying to make wasn't that Inter is now on our level.

Inter needs wingers, we need wingers, we have more money and prestige, Inter nonetheless gets wingers before us. That's the problem.
