    Don't know if anything changed but the numbers that circulated in the media last year suggested that we're in deep shit financially. And this season's eventual CL qualification won't have an impact on the current fiscal year. However, the non-qualification of last season will.

    I’m still furious about the chance he missed against Atalanta, what a useless sack of shit.

    ugh.. that was just terrible. IMO, assuming we do sell Florenzi I think our 2 most critical positions would be a RB (hoping Hysaj) and a ST.

    I like the rumours we are hearing about winter mercato but I doubt much will happen. At the moment we desperately need back ups for Kolarov and Dzeko, other than that our depth is good imo.

    Our starting line up is missing a good CM to play next to Veretout, waiting for Diawara to step up. Mancini has been doing well but if he will be played in midfield permanently then we need a new starting CB.

    Mancini is ok as a DM against bigger teams but when we play teams like Parma that put 11 men behind the ball we'll struggle to help open them up.

    Zappacosta getting hurt really sucked because I think Spinny was going to rotate between RB and LB, so basically a 3 man rotation at FB.

    Delusions of grandeur. From the first time on the field he was pointing at zaniolo or perhaps kluivert where he expected the ball to go after they already made their pass. Fine if you're a proven player, not on your first run out. Then he needlessly wrecked himself trying to act hard because the defender was roughing him up. Hes special alright.

    Giroud is supposed to be available. Kick Kalinic out and finally get that Borriello replacement.

    Yea I get Napoli has moved on but he's hands down your best defensive FB. Sure he's not a huge asset in attack but ffs when you have Rui at LB you need somebody that at least has a clue about defending.

    I would have loved it if we brought Giroud in at the beginning of the season on loan instead of Kalinic. He is a perfect vice-Dzeko.

    Di Lorenzo is better than Hysaj in attacking and defending, Hysaj is decent defensively but he's literally just average at everything and then shit at attacking.

    Interesting. It will really depend on his attitude. Perhaps being sent back home early in his career is a wake up call he needed. He is definitely a Fonseca type full back.

    A better option than buying another stop gap half way through the season.

    OMG we have been down this road, the guy is an idiot. It's not just his attitude, he's clueless on the field.

    Lazy and stupid is no way to go through life.

    Kessie is a mystery. Such a powerhouse at Atalanta, goes to Milan, and suddenly forgets how to play. Could just be because he's around absent-minded players.
