Well, I'm bitchy and rude then, can't help it. Sometimes things just bring that out in me I guess... (IMG:

He didn't...

So...from 11th place in November thanks to his goals, and now you're giving him all the credit for the rest of the team finishing third despite the fact he barely scored any goals and lived on the wing during that time.
What mathematics are you adding from, exactly?
How about the simple equation of removing those 10 points and seeing where that would have left us in the table. Certainly not in the CL places

I prefer the Muntari forum, it was much more fun

You're right. It doesn't. I was highlighting his identity, not his name. Could easily have said Stephan El-Bonera. His surname isn't the point, his identity is. The fact you cut him slack after 4 years but never did with others who underperformed. In less time. Like Cerci.
How you can compare Bonera and Muntati ro Stephan is beyond me. Those 2 have been diabolical for us for a while now. Both being culpable for countless goals conceded as well which led to dropped points. It's not the same

Actually said he has some talent but a diabolical attitude - reminding me of Menez, but not being as good with it. Funnily enough when he was actually more of a team player in the ICC his ability reduced to near-zero.
And again, I don't think what we've seen of him is enough for us to draw any hard conclusions. I personally don't see that terrible selfish streak in him that Menez continually displays. And if he was selfish last season that probably had to do with Pippo rarely ever giving him a chance and him being desperate to prove himself

But why would you judge a player on a weak pre-season given you dismiss friendlies?
That's contradictory?
And yes, I do take that one, but it's a paradox to your own logic. The one time you agree with me here seems to be violating your own principles, illogically.
Not contradictory imo. Just trying to keep all the options open before coming to a conclusion
Yes, I agree that he hasn't shown much of anything in pre-season yet. But I personally still haven't come to any sort of conclusion on his abilities yet, and I certainly won't come to them based on pre-season games. Even if they have so far been underwhelming performances. I still say it's not enough yet.
Also, I have been advocating for him to go on loan for a while now, before pre-season started, so that opinion isn't based on anything that's happened in these friendlies

http://www.calciomercato.com/news/milan-of...i-sinisa-654395According CM, we did indeed reject a hard offer for Niang. I truly believe Miha sees him as a major part of the squad.
I don't think they want to sell him. Pretty sure on that. But I do believe that they could still loan him
Like I said, if we have an attacking 4 of Ibra, Menez, Adriano and Bacca, do you honestly see Niang getting any sort of meaningful playing time?
It would be waste to keep him imo
QUOTE (Danny @ Aug 1 2015, 02:09 PM)

Yes, claimed Pippo wouldn't give him a run in games. Refused to start him more than twice. Which is true. So if he gets a run of five games under Miha that'll sort that one.
Meh, poor excuse, had he performed well he would have gotten more time. Not like Pippo had a multitude of options to pick from. Also important to note that Pippo was the one who desperately wanted him to begin with
