Capitan Raguno

Hopefully this solidifies any lingering doubt as to whether a goalkeeper is needed before anything else.

He once scored a great free kick in a cup game. It was memorable for the fact we have scored so few goals from direct free kicks in the past 3 years. These days any set pieces around the box are just viewed as pointless running down of the clock.

A decent poacher, let alone a perfect one would need to finish sitters regularly. This guy has an entire catalogue of missed sitters and would be unable to fit that role at any decent level. I’d prefer to forget this guy ever played for us, his best moment was the hype on that January day when...

He had a few real stinkers, where he was making errors, out of possession and generally looked shot of confidence. One of them he was hauled off at half time after starting.

Double header games are always risky. I’ve done that 6 times in total and we’ve never won both and some of them have been tragic. Still traumatised by the one where we beat Merda and then got smashed by Bayern 4-1.

The costs at the end are likely the same. Vlahovic will want a bigger signing bonus, a salary that is 3 mill net higher (6 million per annum gross). Accumulate it over 5 years and the difference isn’t that big. In addition, that would mean Vlahovic is our highest paid player and breaks the...

Playing on the wings actually requires one to be able to consistently trap the ball, something he has proven incapable of doing. The only use this guy could have is in a relegation battling team that lumps the ball long on counters for him to chase. What a fucking travesty he’s ended up with us.

We don’t have 30-40million available to spend on any area.

I have resigned myself to those days never returning again. I don’t expect to be excited about a signing or expect to sign a player of that calibre ever again. At least I got to watch glory days. My children are consigned to having to field questions about why they support us for the rest of...

gut feel isn’t great but let’s wait and see. I knew we were in trouble when Agnelli and Nedved were forced out suddenly, never did I think it would be to this extent.

This isn’t realistically happening, we are not spending 15 million+ for a 33 year old keeper whilst we are broke as fuck.

A centre forward who can consistently control the ball, play a simple pass, hold it up occasionally and stay fit would be a nice upgrade.

I don’t mind the guy as back up personally, but he’s on a pretty hefty wage for a back up by Serie A standards and those statistics are pretty damning. Realistically next season Ruru who couldn’t get a game at Fiorentina will return as back-up if we are able to offload Gatti for a half-decent sum.

Most people would look average beside Kelly and Di Gregorio. He’s not a generational defender that can command a back line, but he would certainly be decent in a pair where he only had to concentrate on his own performance and directing a single full back. Nobody is going to pay more than 40...

There are no uncomfortable sales, I think we have generally agreed here other than perhaps Yildiz and Chico. There are only going to be uncomfortable holds, the shit we will be forced to keep because they are on big wages, don’t want to leave and nobody will want them. Just nuke this thread...

Please be good riddance. He lulls you in with a few half decent moments, then gets bullied by average centre backs, loses the ball, puts minimal effort in out of possession and looks a mediocre player again. Impossible to look at it him with any fondness personally, once he’s fucked off. He...

Pellegrini and Romagnoli.

I feel like it’s quite the opposite. He’s not fit, the inflammation in his knee doesn’t clear and he knows this team is shit and would be even worse without him than it would be with him 50% fit. The ideal scenario would be resting for the world cup, but he’s chosen not to do that. At the end of...

Not really, you then have to sit there and endure additional misery you have caused them by having them be born into following this team without even having seen any of the good times.
