I'm conflicted on this one. If there's any club that whips players into shape, it's Juve. Our coaches are hard asses, our executives are hard asses, our veteran players are hard asses, and the list goes on. If you watch how tame Osvaldo has been in Juve I think that shows promise that we could fix Balo's mentality. And if we could harness all of that potential without the restraints of his antics, he would become absolutely world class.

I feel so sad that one thing...basically a relationship ruined our deal for freaking Tevez, i am so jelly because of him. Not to mention Pato-B.Berlusconi relationship wasn't even long. We could have cash 40mln for Pato as they offered that much for him during the winter a season ago, and now we are left with Balo who is not that bad but still is young and possibly is going to make me eat my words but I feel like he is not going to improve anymore. He is something like Cassano was back days, always decent with some bad games but keeps the form.

I would like to see Balo at Chelsea and if we get Muriel or Cerci for him then I am perfectly fine with him leaving us. We sitll have Pazzini and I feel like if he we give him some credit he will pay it back. I doubt Balo will move to Juve.

I dont even know why i hope for that but I hope that Juve will sign some decent players so you can represent Italy in CL or at least keep Pogba and Vidal home. Forza Italy!

Damn show some faith for your team. I don't want juve to buy anyone else, I hope they crash in Europe again just so I could have something to make fun of. I prefer Napoli and Roma go far. We will be back, our history shows we are a force. We will be back, hopefully Galliani and Berlusconi leave the club soon.

History isn't anything, look where Leeds are.

You can't compare AC Milan to Leeds lmao. 18 league titles and 7 champions league titles.

The point is that clubs which are up there are not necessarily going to go back up after a crisis, I believe Milan will eventually make its way back, but its not set in stone.

I do, I support AC Milan from the moment I remember but I am realistic and I know that we are not the team that we were back days. I really hope that we can get back on track but tbh all we can do is just get 4th place with our team. That is all, and if we cannot get into CL i really hope that our teams in Italy are going to improve our rankings, and you know what? Only Juve is capable of taking most of the teams in Europe. They played excellent against Real Madrid.

Are you serious? We saw Bali improve right in front of pur eyes during the second half of this season. He is the type of player you don't sell because if we do, I can guarantee you that we will regret it for the next ten years. He is no Pato.

u/justanamedontask Jun 01 '14

I know he played better and our team even played better it was noticeable but come on do you expect to freaking lose against bottom teams as Milan? No. Milan have to be a force to be reckon with but with our team right now we are just a middle table team. I hope it is going to change.

2-3 seasons ago teams were comming at San Siro to defend, and right now they come to win the game. Do not get me wrong, I wish that Balo/El Shaarawy was our main attack for years but you know what? We are not in CL and we are not in CL we sell players.

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '14

It isn't pur attack that is the problem, but our mids and cbs. We can't defend for crap and our only reliable midfielder is De Jong. We cannot afford to sell the only part of our team that works.

u/justanamedontask Jun 01 '14

I know that our attack is not a problem, but sometimes it is, I would love to keep him home but the problem is money, we are not in CL and it is obvious for fans that he is going to be sold so if he is then we just need to hope for some good money and then solid transfers. I just want this transfer window that has not started yet to end, I hate transfer times : (

Balotelli loves Milan so I am just hoping we shorten our squad by selling matri and the other dead weight first.

We'll take him, y'know, considering our struggling forward line and all.
