QUOTE (X-Offender @ Sep 22 2010, 06:29 PM) Well, I would agree with you on the spot, but I really can't see our board making six new signings like that. Well those are signings we need. And if they neglect them again for another season we can have God himself in attack, it really wouldn't matter. We'll see what happens. Most pobably we'll be seeing the same old midfield trio for another season, huffing and puffing without accomplishing anything. The tragedy that is Oddo still in the team, etc, etc. All those youngsters you mentioned are never going to be considered direct second choice, and imo I doubt there are more then 3 players that you mentioned who will even be good enough.

Capello. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) I made a post in the match thread about it.

I think people are just over reacting, had we won the last three Serie A games, they wouldn't be discussing the state of the midfield/defense.
It is the start of the season, form has always been low at this point and picks up by the end of September. Sure we could have won all the games, but form would still be low.
I agree with the notion that Seedorf and co. should give way to younger players with more to give, but younger players don't have the vision to release Ibrahimovic (Lazio v Milan 66min) like that. And hence bias could be derived from hindsight.
I think the fact that Boateng had broken into the first team speaks volumes in the direction the club is taking when bringing in fresh legs to aid the team.
Moreover, people are pointing out the short coming of Allegri, someone who has never held the rains of a massive club like ours. He needs time, his ideas are fresh while the fact teams we faced so far defend in numbers is not enough for us to pass judgment on him just yet. Last season, we only realised Leonardo's ability when we faced Madrid, prior to that we were a midtable team at best.
In closing, we just need time for form to pick up, the team and Ibrahimovic to familiarize, and Allegri to perfect a line up and formation.

Yes I agree. But at some point we need to say this much time and no more. Which is pretty much why bluey and I are saying November. Get a new coach in, so that by December, he's got an idea of the team and any shortcomings can be remedied. I think Capello is best..but probably impossible. And not better in the long run. Rijkaard is unavailable. Hiddink doesn't like Italy. Anyone wants to call Tabarez back? Maybe he'll be better this time round. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) You're not considering Van Basten and/or Donadoni seriously right?

-1 v. Basten and Donadoni... Yes guys, all you've said is true. But criticism of Allegri is definitely in order, mainly because most of it is completely unrelated to the new signings. Boateng on the wing, the unexplainable late subs, his devotion to Seedorf and Bonera... If it were up to me, I wouldn't sack him after 3 bad games either. But still. Oh, and anybody feels lucky enough to open the Genoa thread? I would, but I don't think I've been here long enough... (IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

(IMG: style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) Well he did say right at the beginning that he was trying to for the 4-4-2. We needed to see if it would work..and we know it does and doesn't. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) In a way it works, because the problem the 4-3-3 has with counters is solved, and it doesn't because once again the conduit from defence to midfield to attack is not there. Our biggest problem right now is the mid-field. This is where we're losing the battle...and this I think is our biggest problem.

Time to go back to the 4-4-2 diamond. (IMG: style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Capello wont coach any other team along with the England job; he has a clause on his contract with England which stipulates that. I agree with you, in that enough is enough when our stride is not found come November. But that is premature as of yet, since our performance yesterday was an improvment to the previous outings in Serie A this season (Bar 1st game). I believe the team will perform better as the season progresses, but I rule out any winning medals.
