So, after three months of intense "negotiating", this is the squad our directors has given us. I have posted a couple of threads over the last month and a lot of people were arguing that Braida will bring us a surprise at the end of the transfer window. The team certainly surprised us, by getting rid of our best player alongside two good veterans and buying three guys who won't make a difference anytime soon. Now that we understood what the management means by surprises, it made predicting the future of this team a lot easier. And we can anticipate a few more surprises coming our way in the near future.
Before I go on to the future, we should look at the past for a while. For the past a few years, this team has spent very limited amount of money on the transfer market. Even though some players could have been signed at very fair prices. The board of directors overlooked the potential of the current squad and ignored the need for new blood and youth. The fact that we haven't won anything in two years is the result from a few reasons; our players are too old and doesn't have enough energy to go through the whole season at a high level; they already won everything there is and has little desire to play on; lack of transfer funding and new fresh blood; and at last, a bad coach who loses control of his team way too often. I don't suppose football experts in our management couldn't see those problems and hasn't figured out the solution to the problems, but they refused to make a move. In fact, we took that lack of spending even further this year when we sold our best player and brought no one in return.
For the future, I think things are pretty clear. First of all, Kaka will leave next summer. Before you start cursing out at my announcement, hear my reasons. Let's face it, if Shevchenko didn't leave this summer to cause such a huge impact on fans, Kaka would've been in Marid by now. He didn't particularly want to stay with us as he refused to commit to us during the world cup. On top of that, he wanted to win championships or at least be with a team with a desire to become good. While Real Marid have one of the best coaches in the world in Capello as well as a bunch of superstars; we kept a loser coach and gave up our best player with no replacement or significant additions to our squad. Just like what the management did with the Shevchenko replacement this summer. They will start going around telling everyone we will try to sign Ronaldinho to replace Kaka, and they will start negotiating for another three months and come up empty. They will probably sign some other 19 year old like Schneider of Ajax and say he has what it takes to be the next Kaka.
The only thing I don't understand is where all the money went. I mean, we went from the best team in Europe to a second rate contender in Italian league due to the lack of spending. Even though this team made a lot of money with their good record over the years. Are they trying to build a new stadium or something?
Anyway, for this new season, I suggest us all to lose our hopes. We still love this team and support them. Just don't get your hopes too high, because you will be disappointed big time. Just like what I did with our transfer market at the beginning of the summer. I am directing my attention to Inter now. I am really looking forward to see whether that team can really become one of the best teams in Italy and Europe with their success in transfer market. In the end, let me just say that if you know how disappointed this team has been for me over the last two years and this summer, you would know where all of this came from.
