Also the draft is October 17th and we are a player down, please respond to the GL NBA Fantasy, the greatest fantasy or real life league ever, thread.

Until they ran out of money that is. They brought order and organization, hired some decent people. Unfortunately they didn't seem to cope very well with economical repercussions caused by the pandemic.

More like economical repercussions of Chinese bubble bursting.

I would rather Serie A kick all dictatorial regime owners.

The American's are at least crystal clear with their capitalistic intentions. And even corrupt Italian owners are at least subject to Italian democratic controls.

Personally, I would stop supporting Milan if it was owned by a dictatorship.

Capitalism is what makes these clubs rich and flourishing.

Where it goes wrong as if its used for personal greed but Americans are the best in the world for business as LFC are a shining example of what they present, despite the generally detached practices such as from Kroenke of Arsenal or Glazers.

Chinese businesses seem to have a record of that type of guy who wins the lottery, doesnt invest but spends spends spends until he realises his pockets are empty and sits moping about what to do.

All of these are generalisations but definitely a trend and from my own personal experiences. Suning is garbage and have very shady practices at home by Steven Zhang himself.

Cannot remember how cringe the entrance of Zhang was and look at the result. Terrible management and, hope it continues.

Result = Scudetto.

Taken back Inter to the victory and broken the long Juve egemony.

They did what they had to do it, but covid is pandemonium especially for a Chinese property, they 're definitely tied to the Chinese government ( well, it's China), so they can't afford anymore

Every day under Suning now it's lost day, I don't see optimical scenario under them while I was seeing before covid

Anyway Arabs is a twitter fantasy

Unreal

There goes our title hopes

No problem, he will miss Verona and Bologna, and maybe against Torino. These should be beatable without Theo...

It's going to be tough against Porto however.

Rabiot tested positive too. Iirc the vaccination rate in Serie A is like 98%, and both French internationals might be in the 2%

Isn't that an advantage for you guys though?

Rabiot is an idiot but is also significantly more talented than McKennie and fitter than Ramsey. Would rather have him than those two. Arthur is on the way back from surgery, leaving us with the (semi) competent Bentancur to partner Locatelli.

It looks like it could be until the end of the year, which is huge since it includes so many important games.

This is what I was referring to regarding injuries being a deciding factor.

Extremely bad luck at this stage of the season. We even had to scramble to sign a free GK agent.

@Luca @Arq @Robes @M99

We lack one player in NBA fantasy are you interested ??? Pls

Sergej shows up tonight just for Robes

Fucking Gagliardini.

Starting by conceding in the first 6 minutes.

We are getting screwed today.

Not a single good Milan ball for the first 17 minutes. Also very suspect defensively, with Toure failing to perform and Calabria not up to speed.

We need to wake up or we are never getting back into the match.

Penalty to Verona.

Looked like a foul on Romagnoli instead of a foul by him

There was a foul in the start on Bennancer, but that was totally Toure's mistake.

2 to Verona. No way back from this.

We're getting ruined by Verona and somehow we're considered Scudetto favorites by some

We are getting raped by Porto.

Toure is not half the player Salt is, never mind Theo. Seriously shit 26 minutes.

Toure gets the ball in a point Theo surely would have scored and does shit with it. Nothing is coming off well at all.

And now Rebic gets injured. The only player who was doing anything.

What the fuck is this?

getting ruined at home by Verona

Bello Toure literally did nothing good for the entire first half. Worst performance from a left back I have seen for the last 5 years. In fact, he did everything wrong.

I rest my case.

Verona 2 ahead in half time.

Fully deserved.

Terrible.performence from Giroud (useless) and Toure (damaging). Bad performers from Calabria and Romagnoli (another light penalty conceded). Pedestrian performances from D. Maldini and Saladmaker and Kessie

Only player threatening to play well is Bennacer.

A title-winning team plays like shit but still win the game (like Chelsea did today). We don't have the quality to do that of One's and Theo are not playing, and now our only other half-clutch player is injured when we have Porto to look forward to.

At least Robes will shut up about title chances for the rest of the year.

Krunic in for Maldini (which makes sense but doesn't solve any core issue) and Castelijo in for Saladmaker, which is a hail mary that solves nothing.

Very unfortunate for Maldini to play in a game where our defense collectively decides to become butter and our LB plays for the other team.

I have no hope unless Ibra comes in, then I will have some unreasonable remenante of it.
