I also don't mind Morata staying. I think he is a big-game player and can score important goals in important games. You just can't expect him to score anytime when we need him to. He was always known to be like that (I am sure that we can easily find video clips on his ridiculous misses), so I don't know why all of a sudden he is now expected to take over Giroud who is lethal in front of goals. 

Morata can play well as #10 (he can rotate with Pulisic/Liberali--that way, we don't have to see RLC there) or as one of the front two in a support role (at times of desperation). We are a team that lacks leaders and as the captain of European champions, Morata can naturally play a positive role both on and off the pitch. (I don't appreciate that he dives and complains too much.)

We definitely need to search for another top-profile CF. Osimhen is my dream.

I don't know what the hell happens to Tomori. I like him a lot and thought that he was going to stay with us for a long time. But with all that's happening, I agree that we should cash in on him when the value is still there. 

Chuck... How the hell did we pay 28 million on someone who has only one leg?? Get rid of him and bring back Messias.

You can’t really say that he’s a big game playe, while also saying you can’t expect him to score anytime we need him to. If he’s a big game player, as a striker he should be able to score in big games when we need him to. 

I would target a good reliable striker, move Morata to the bench and promote Camarda as the 3rd option. We need Tonali back at all costs as well. Sign a starting Rb and back up to Theo and I think we would be ok next season. 

Perhaps the summer after we work on our CB and attacking midfield situation. There’s a lot of work to do but it’s possible to fix this team in 2 summers

For long term success it is probably best to gamble on Camarda in the long term.

Chuk, RLC and Okafor just need to go. they are not good enough. Bennacer, I loved the guy, but he is broken goods.

Way too early for Camarda to be our main striker. He is not ready. In the youth teams he had a major advantage physically, that advantage is not there in Serie A.

If he's rushed it might actually not be worth the gamble as it could result in injuries and he becomes the new Pietro Pellegri instead of the new Filippo Inzaghi.

Hopefully, at least Lazio will fell apart after this hammering.

Didn't even know that there was a game until I saw your post. Inter Milan is scary. (I think they are among the top 3 sides in Europe now.) 

But Fonseca beat them, so he needs to be renewed for another 10 years. Grinundwech

Ruud Gullit & Marco Van Basten were in Rondo (Dutch football talkshow) and spoke about the Genoa game. Van Basten didn’t even want to attend at first, but Gullit called him and convinced him to go.

Gullit: “Milan’s DNA is gone… if I need something from Milan I don’t even know who to call. I don’t know anyone from the current management, everybody from Milanello is gone”

Van Basten: “The fans deserve more”. And he mentioned the importance of Berlusconi & Galliani for the Italian passion, which is gone with the Americans.
