Switch to 4-3-3 is necessary. We need a post Mertens and post Callejon. Milik also needs to go (will be hard because I can't see any teams actually spending over 20mil on him... I don't even blame them because I wouldn't) For Post Callejon- Chiesa, Orsolini For post Mertens- Belotti, Kean? Moise Kean seems up for sale, if we can steal him on a loan with option to buy at 35m I'd take it. See what the kid can do, if he's actually worth it his price will skyrocket.
Where does Ancelotti – Sacchi’s former pupil at Milan – fit in to the pattern at Napoli? “Carlo only appears to be calm on the surface, but inside his blood is boiling. I heard from him, he said great things about Hirving Lozano. “I am convinced Napoli will amaze people, perhaps in the Champions League.” I have also read one of Sacchi's interviews putting most of the blame on the players themselves. Can't find it though. Maybe the players have conspired to take it down somehow, hh. However, I think it makes sense. Sth has gone terribly wrong in our squad and it has become 95% money and 5% drill. I think it has manifested itself in our games: we have shown great things but no grit, no real determination, no nothing of the sort. These are the things that occasionally bring victory to weaker teams, so you can easily imagine how important it is for stronger teams. We simply lack too many things, but the problem is the players. I wouldn't increase their salaries, for they had shown that they are capable of damaging the team only because of the question of money. Therefore, they need to leave. I would have given them the money if they had not already proven that they do not deserve it.
You are blind if you think it's all about the money. Can't you see what's really happening? If it's only about the money, do you not think K2 can easily fetch twice his current salary at another top club or league? Yet he renew with us for a lot less. Or Mertens would not want to leave long ago if its only about money? And let's not forget the players are giving up their image rights to play for this club which also mean less income for them. Assuming you work for someone, can you work properly and put your hears and mind into it if you have a f**king boss that constantly dictate things around, belittles you and make threats, including withholding salaries? The root cause for all these trouble is ADL,and ADL alone because while the club always has its ups and down in form, even during the Sarri years, it is when ADL decided to "intervene" that cause all these problems. This article sums it up perfectly https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...urentiis-needs-stop-living-fantasy-world.html This club will never, and I mean NEVER EVER achieve any success with ADL around. He's a small-minded provincial business man with no financial means to run a big club and is only holding us back while at the same time being a toxic influence. He has to go because he is a moron, and so is anyone who want to support or defend him. Now if those idiotic Ultra fans really wants to save the club, they will do a lot better by kicking ADL out of Naples rather than threatening the safety of the players and their families.
You're addressing the matter the same way some people address the matter of refugees: over-simplification. Be that as it may, the Juve players and their inertia have just saved Sarri's ass today, again. The football was terrible from Juve, but the players were not pussies and they stepped up, that's sth that great players do, whether the tactic of the coach is working out or not. The president of Lazio said that he has increased the salaries of the players and therefore he expects results, otherwise he will put the Primavera team on the pitch and ditch the millionaires of no results. What was the reaction of the players? Let me guess. They didn't shit their pants and started crying, but rather decided to prove the old fart that they can do shit? Maybe. Presidents have personalities and stories have more than just 1 side. Loyalty is sth that you earn, and our management has given the opportunity of a lifetime to many a young individual. The least they can do to repay the club and its fans is to be like the players of Lazio, that is, not to piss in their pants, be men, and work hard for their fans regardless of who the president is and what he has been doing. I don't like my boss, he's a snake with glasses, am I supposed to take it out on the customers? Where's the logic in that? Perhaps I would have done that before, maybe during my adolescence, but unfortunately, I am no longer a young little dick. And also, people criticize DL for everything right now, and there are disputes as to whether it was right or wrong to fire Sarri and hire Carlo, but one can only hardly claim that DL wasn't trying to improve our condition when he picked up Carlo. He could have brought in anyone, even the Primavera coach or sth, yet he opted for one of the shiniest stars...
Selling Callejon and Mertens is mandatory. Sell Milik and Younes too. Bring in Ibra for free, Torreira, and Orsolini or Berardi. Switch to a 4-3-3. Don't sell Allan or Insigne in the winter, we can get more money in the summer. Lozano/Insigne - Ibra/Llorente - Berard/Orsolini / Lozano Fabian/Zielinski - Torreira - Allan/Elmas Rui/Ghoulam - Koulibaly/Luperto - Manolas/Maksimovic - DiLorenzo/Malcuit Meret/Ospina This is likely the best we can do with a limited budget in the winter.
Will never happen and that squad lacks a left back, central midfielder and right winger. I want Ancelotti gone before selling players.
Former #Juventus coach Max Allegri was spotted in the stands at San Siro, chatting intently to #Napoli staff members after the 1-1 draw with #ACMilan football-italia.net/146806/allegri… #SerieA #MilanNapoli YES SIR
Didn't realize the Spurs considered hiring Carlo Ancelotti away from Napoli. Report: Spurs considered Ancelotti before Mourinho appointment
So instead of being a leader and maybe getting in a closed door session with the team to lay everything out, ADL instead just wants to make things worse and fine everyone. Good luck with that approach.
This just tells me he doesn't care anymore and that he's open to selling the club. He clearly doesn't care about the clubs image as much as he used to
Chiesa and Tonali won't come to us, they are wanted by too many top clubs with prices that are way out of Aurelio's budget. Orsolini is a better option if we were to return to a 4-3-3. I'd target Italians who will fight for the club. Emerson (LB), Izzo (CB), Castrovilli (CM), Orsolini (RW), Belotti (ST), and Kean (ST). These players probably top my wishlist in terms of affordable players. Otherwise the obvious 2 are Chiesa and Tonali but knowing ADL I think the odds of him spending over 60mil on a player are right next to the odds of us beating Liverpool at Anfield. Extremely slim and almost 0.
sander berge is not a bad option.I'd take kean , emerson and orsolini meret-gdl - kostas - k2 - emerson-orso-berge-fabian-zıelu-mertens-kean great squad for second half of the season
ADL needs to leave immediately, if the ultras have anything about them they’ll drive him out the door. Qatari owners would transform this club overnight.
Insigne and many players will think of leaving in January transfer window. We will see a total revamp, maybe with a new coach and hope for the best. That is if that old bastard doesnt destroy the club first and by getting us relegated.
If we'll have a lot of money to spend why don't we just keep Ancelotti and get players more suited for the 4-2-3-1? Why change everything all at once? Seems like too much change. It should be the players or the coach but not both, at least not all at once imo
I don't think Ancelotti want to stay at Napoli beyond this season. Nobody can stand or work wifh ADL. Notice nearly all our ex-coaches and former good players have nothing good to say about him. And I can tell you after what happened with salaries deduction and further threats of legal action etc, I afraid no good players will want to join Napoli as well. Right now, I am quite pessimistic and only see darkness lying ahead for this club's future with ADL around. Only one guy in this forum consistently fails to realize that.
He is a reason why the fans turned on the players. Saying what he does publicly only incites more anger towards them.
Lavezzi will be retiring from soccer. Also, Alisson confirmed that we had tried to get him from Roma but he couldn't come because he knew of the rivalry between our clubs. Not 1 headline was ever posted about Alisson coming to Napoli. Just goes to show how little journalists know and that they just come up with names out of their ass
Best way moving forward now to rectify the toxic atmosphere is that ADL still get his way to fine the players ( pacify his stupid ego ) but all will be waived if we win the next two Serie A games and made it to the R16 in UCL. Entire season is at stake and there has to be reconcilliation. It seems things starting looking up a bit with the draw at Liverpool so hopefully things get sorted out soon.
