Very well put.It may across as I hate him.I dont.I find it baffling that so many online clamour for his return and blame all around him for his failures.He shot to fame did great but doesnt have the mental toughness to succeed under big pressure , he is talented but so were lots of young players who burst on the scene.

I don't think any of us really "hate" SES, per se. Considering how much we all were in love with him a few years ago, how can we really hate someone when he didn't do anything horrible? The correct way to describe how we feel is probably "extremely disappointed". I wouldn't put everything on SES though. I mean, it is true that he is not mentally strong like Ibra, and that is definitely a problem for him, but his constant injuries also did a number on him. I mean, to have to come back from injuries time and time and time again like he did. It takes a supremely strong willed human being to not be mentally affected by that. Nevertheless, he is still young, he still has talent and plenty of teams in Italy are lining up to sign him right now. So, if we play our cards right, we might be able to benefit from this after all. 

Fascinating stories I read today: 

Nocerino is negotiating with Panathinakos as we speak. He has apparently green lit the transfer, just trying to get an agreement on his salary. Since he only has 6 months left on his contract (which means he is not leaving a lot of money on the table when he leaves), I must say I can actually see this deal go through. Even if we don't sign a quality midfielder after this, just getting rid of deadwood like Nocerino has to be considered a win for us;

We have apparently received some offers for Poli, but turned all of them down because we consider him untouchable. For the life of me, I do not understand what this management sees in Poli. I mean, I cant even think of one game where Poli stood out for the right reason ever since he joined us. I get the fact that we are trying to get more Italian, but I really think it's dumb to sign and keep players only because of the color of their passport. I don't have a problem with Poli staying, as I think he is a half decent back up midfielder who offers some energy as a sub, but to consider him untouchable is like thinking Galliani has the looks of Brad Pitt, pure idiocy.
