Winter mercato January 2015

[ACMILAN1983]

Dev, I don't know if I'm not explaining myself in the right way as there seems to be confusion.

I am not prepared to judge Galliani on this summer alone. I was right there with you just a few months ago calling for Galliani's head, and I still am. But we started discussing this summer's mercato a couple of weeks ago and that's why I was commenting about and keep referencing this mercato alone. I agree that Galliani has done some terrible mistakes and I am not forgiving for that....but in a response to members that think that this was a horrible mercato, I am saying that I think that it was a positive one. Again, I hate the fact that all the mistakes that were made in the previous few years by Galliani are hindering us now.....but I'm not going to say that this mercato was a failure because looking at this summer alone I think he did a good job. This doesn't excuse Galliani of all the stupidity he's done in previous year. But hopefully we can move forward from here and slowly start fixing the mistakes that were made in the last 5/6/7 years. We'll see if that happens.

I don't think I misunderstood you there, probably just worded my post badly. I understand your view on Galliani and the problems he's caused. When I was posting about you judging Galliani on this summer alone, I meant literally that, in that you're able to judge him/his work on what he's achieved this summer and this summer alone, regardless of your feelings on his work overall in the past years or the damage it's caused. That's something I simply struggle to do, because when I think of what he's done with 0 resources, my immediate question is always why he had 0 resources.

I just want to clarify though, imo this summer, even with 0 resources at his disposal, I'm not in agreement with who he's brought in on the whole, never mind failure to sell some individuals.
