I must say look what happened to Parma, they really bought some array of great young talents this transfer window but still it is January now and yet they have not incorporated any one of them except some Osorio guy. They preferred old rags look at them...LOL
Parma's biggest problem was not keeping Daversa. Liverani is a noob. One of those coaches like MG that wants to just endlessly pass the ball without any substance. And the worst part of it all is that they are satisfied with it. They think if the team passes the ball 50 times between the CBs, it's a good thing. Because they "have" possession of the ball. I call them "Pep orphans". They are stuck in the "possession is all" mindset while even Pep himself has moved from that concept and plays a lot more vertical.
I know losing Daversa wasn't entirely their choice. I think their transfer strategies didn't align (to your point). He wanted a little more then just fight for safety. Ironically enough, Parma's management wanted to play "attractive" and "dominating" football with lots of possession.....so hence simply not on the same page anymore.
Either way. I don't expect anything from Parma. But Udinese is a mainstay in this league. For years they've been there, and for years they've had the same pathetic mentality. A mentality that has spread to the players who look like emotionless robots out there. They are good enough to not get relegated. They are bad enough to not want anything more then that. The club is fine with that. The club knows that. The players know that. So they show zero ambition. They don't even care if they lose games because they know somehow they'll be fine come April....and then they give even less of a shit.
I don't know why certain teams really get to me.
Udinese is one of them. Atalanta used to be this way but we all know that lately they've shown ambition and have created a real project. But Udinese....I don't know. Even Bologna shows more ambition then them. But that's because Mihajlovic won't stand for anything less then that.
