Roberto Gagliardini

I have always expected a lot from Gag. I am glad he scored.

Stepped the fuck up. Refreshing to see.

Respect for this guy

I won't fall for Gags playing great against Serie B level team. Happened so often before. Stats speak volumes.

I remember reading last summer that Inzaghi wants Gagliardini as the replacement in case SMS is sold. If Marotta is still keen on SMS next summer, I hope Gags continues to impress this season. There is a deal to be made.

As I said countless times, Spalletti ruined Gagliardini like he ruined so many other players. Conte recovering him into a great squad player.

Spalletti is probably the worst manager we have had the last 30 years

And this is probably the worst post I have seen in the last 30 years.

If Spalletti is worse than De Boer, then he was extremely lucky to get us into CL both seasons.

Why do you do this to yourself? Lol.

Regarding gagliardini, we fell into Atalanta's trap, like milan with Jessie. Their players look good in their system, but it's actually that perfect machine making them look good in the first place.

That said, gag can still prove to be a good player, but clearly we paid more than he is worth.

Yep, he's fine in games where he's under no pressure, but I think everyone knows better than to expect good performances against decent opposition at this point. As soon as he's put under pressure and forced to defend and make quick decisions with the ball he crumbles.

I think Gagliardini is an important player to hold onto. His confidence is being recovered under Conte and it makes sense to keep him to rotate him with the starting midfielders in games against the lower teams.

He seems to play pretty well when there is no pressure attached to the game and that will also give valuable resting time to whomever he replaces in that fixture.

Nice performance on the weekend though. He's not great but he's definitely good enough to be a rotation option and the reality is if he's sold he's certainly not going to be sold for a profit at this stage and whatever fee he fetches isn't going to be enough to invest in a quality replacement.

Completely agree with the first line, but in your second I think you a little exaggerated. I hate Spallo too, but he was better than the previous ones, even better than Manicini was.

Let's make some calculations. He arrived at 17 January on loan till 2018 summer (loan fee 2m€), Then we activated (obliged to) the direct transfer, transfer fee was something like 20m€ + some bonuses (total package reaching 28m€). For the sake of the argument, let's say the fee ends up being 25m€. So we start amortizing that in 2018, with Gags having contract remaining for 3 years to 2021 => big annual amortized value, around 8m€.

Except that we extend his contract by two years in 2018 autumn to end in 2023. So his amortized value annually dropped to 5m€. So this summer his value in our books was ~20m€, next summer it will be 15m€. I'm pretty sure he can be sold for over 15m€, at least as part of a swap deal inside Italy. Though it must be said Vecino's value in our books is lower, his salary is bigger than Gagliardini's so it's more difficult to dump him to lesser clubs.

Anyway, Valero will be the first guy out in this group. And as we add one midfielder in January and probably another one in the summer we will have Barella, Brozovic, Sensi, Jan guy, Summer guy, Vecino, Gagliardini. 7 midfielders to 3 positions. That definitely leaves one out, I don't see Gags/Vecino waiting for injuries, that 7th spot will be filled with a youngster.

De Boer got nothing he wanted, sure he is shit but Spalletti got everything he pointed at and still barely mad CL. Spalletti also had the balls to complain about not having enough quality when he literally asked for Valero and Vecino. Again, worst coach last 30 years.

Spalletti got a 4th place team into 4th place. If there wasn't drama last season, we couldve been in 3rd but whatever.

He didn't ask for them, he ended up with them. Suning promised him big signings and in the end they had excuses about China not letting them spend money and FFP.

We don’t need 11 Messi on the bench. Keep Gags. He might turn into the next D’ambrosio. Italian players are more stable and less whiny as they age. It really doesn’t hurt to have the kind of players like Rano and Gags in the team if they’re content with a back-up role

 

[Pajo]

I always liked the guy. And he seems to have improved his technique and has always had decent IQ. His fuckups were mainly due to lack of pace or bad touch.

IMO he is great as 5th choice midfielder and would be shame to let him go. I know he has some resale value unlike Valero or Vecino, but fuck that. Just keep him.

De boer was here for about 2 days before the transfer window shut, then proceeded to shit the bed against everyone but juve
