Summer mercato 2021

[Sleeping Giant]

No way Donna is better then Sczescny (or however it is spelled). He may become better but at most is on par with him and untested in big games with lots of eyes (cL). With COVID limiting incomes, that move doesn’t make a ton of sense to me.

Salary cap can work as Bayern and Dortmund do pretty well with it. As you grow the brand the caps increase. Of course players may leave for money’s sake, but if your system is successful and you can invest in the youth levels and recruiting (Atalanta) you can make it work. With the CL rules, there really is no other way. You can’t just splash the money unless it is income.

I guess for having an 'Atalanta' like system beside having a good recruitment we also need a coach like Gasperini who personally work with the players and improve his work performance by hook and crook() and make him a system player like Hateboer, Zapata, Caldara. It won't work with coaches like Pioli(who doesn't have any tactics rather than Theo and Inshallah ) and Gattuso.
