De Laurentis is completely to blame for everything that happened to Napoli after the title win. The farce that was not signing a KIM replacement (We still need at least one more CB even now), Spalletti, Garcia & Mazzarri, the Osimhen debacle, & now Kvara. Getting Conte and last summer's signings did a lot of repairs to the damage, but we'll need even more now.
De Laurentis is to blame to have returned Napoli on top of Italy football, being thr only club who won the scudetto in the last 20 years apart from the usual 3, then everyone commits mistakes but he made for that in just a few months, and Napoli are once again there in top places
Usually I agree with your takes but not this time. You're forgetting that Kvara has an absolute idiot of an agent who has most likely made unreasonable demands since arriving. DeLaurentis has gotten a scudetto out of him for only 1.5m a season and making a 70m euro profit from his sale. Another example of great business showing how he has taken Napoli from nothing to the top. He is fighting against a business dominated by the greed of players and their agents. Not many owners can do that successfully and so he should be praised. Napoli are top of the league with minimal input from Kvara this season's and Neres looks like a better all round player.
We're not forgetting anything. We detailed that this was a problem ADL could have addressed after Kvara first year. He instead said we dont renegotiate contracts after 1 year. Well congrats. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.
You keep that mentality and good luck for another 33 years seeing trophy. As well as good luck seeing superstar players coming to Napoli at their prime. Best youll ever have is washed up ones likes Lukaku, Rushford perhaps and so on. You can scream your lungs off snd pretend you are a big club, but truth is just a mediocre. You will never be a big club with such management and wages. No respectful player will ever want to play for that club. Disrespects they showed to their coaches and players are next level greedy. Spaletti, Osimhen, Zelinski, now Kvara. Good luck!
@@ItaFootPodthese stupid games you mention seem like shrewd business to me. They may not be very 'nice' for players but Napoli's finances are in better shape than most teams in Europe. But I do agree with some of the comments below that the only downside could be attracting top players in the future if they're concerned about getting significant contract renewals. However, smart scouting (like the case of Kvara) has always been part of Napoli's success hopefully that continues during and after the Conte era.
Guys great podcast. I love that you talk about all the big clubs in such a structured and systematic manner. But can you do me a favour and start sectioning the videos on UA-cam so that we can choose to follow or skip to the sections we're most interested in? (In my case, anything Inter or Atalanta related haha) Forza Inter!
Same guys I was losing my mind watching Mancini at the end of the game arguing for 5 minutes when penalty has been awarded already... A lot of guys can lose concertation if they have to wait that long and take a really bad shot so credit to Dovbyk for scoring that was big... Roma probably should have lost but getting point from that game and then now having easier schedule could make them climb the table big time
Thanks Antonio! Ouff. Not a big fan of predictions of games but Atalanta vs Juve feels decisive in many ways (we'll discuss this regardless of outcome on Thursday pod for UA-cam members). Milan must beat Como to stay in top 4. Inter at home to Bologna is interesting for many reasons, including can Bologna throw a spanner in the works for Inter again in Scudetto race at home
Your argument on Kvara started on a bad note, cause Napoli offered 6 milion plus , he refused cause of the psg deal... i will love Kvara all my life but its time that he goes, in the meantime we bought his subsitute already Neres but no one has noticed I see 😂
Good shout on Nicolussi-Caviglia. Maybe Juventus will buy him back for 60m and play him every match. Surely he is performing better than Koop and Luiz combined!!! Just being truthful and a bit facetious. Great cast bros.
Receiving 60m+ plus for a 2m purchase , adl should be applauded. Kvra hasnt performed great this season , doesnt suit conte style , and doesnt fancy the amount of running back he has to do . Good deal for all parties. He will be replaced . Dont agree with criticism of adl guys sorry
AC Milan are driving me mad! I don't know who is telling them which players to buy but he needs to be fired! I cannot continue to support such an incompetent team!
You talk of respect but is there respect from players towards clubs that believe in them? No they dont, they just move on as soon as they get a better deal, thats the truth
I'm not out of point, you podcast was all firing against Delaurentis , he is not a saint as no president is, however he did offer increases according to Napoli capabilities and Kvara refused as he had Psg offer since after the scudetto, I understand that. You have ridiculed Delaurentis on your postcast on affairs you dont havw full picture off, Delaaurentis only mistake last year was not selling Osimhen immediately and giving him 10 million. When players want to move there is no way of stopping them thats the truth... whatever you do.
@@hitthurdeauxClearly you were not watching Napoli matches lately, Kvara performance was well below the yeatlr of the scudetto, not to mention last season, Neres is playing far better than him, the latter just required some time to adapt to Serie A and to Conte tactics. When Conte arrived at the start of the season , Kvara already wanted to go, however Conte put a veto that he had to stay, now he chnaged his mind, there is a reason for that, and the last matches are showing this, Napoli are no more Kvara dependent...
@@chickomalta6258 I’m well aware that Kvara hasn’t consistently matched his 2022-23 form since that Scudetto, but that doesn’t change the fact that he was Napoli’s most talented player with the greatest capacity to impact games.
@@hitthurdeaux I never said his is not but while till last year Napoli were Kvara dependent, this year are not, its the way they are playing which is different, Spalleti played a game that perfectly suits Kvara talent while with Conte Kvara's talent is somehow voided
@ why though? He had his original contract of 1mil increased after the first year with a new contract negotiation pending. It’s never been about Napoli not wanting to resign him, it’s always been about his agent trying to get more and more. And for a player who’s form hasn’t been top for over a year and half, how can he justify demanding he’s demanding. There’s a very good reason why only PSG are after him and no-one else.
Kvara is saudi material to me, he should switch places with Mahrez, he aged 10 years in 10 months ,bro looks uninspired and exhausted, he thinks he's Vinicius
Kvara haven't been good since March 2023 , they should've sold him last May for a 100 million , Osimhen ? i wish he stayed in the league ,Roma, Milan ..wherever
Very informative podcast. Glad I found this.

Sorry for being boomers. lol

Treat top players like trash, good luck attract new top players. Agents and players talk to each other.

@@tris8785 Shrewd business in not maximizing the profit from Osimhen & Kvara? Agree to disagree brother.

Check the description
Thanks @@BadselSdidn't see it. Still would be great to split the sections since they're doing the work to put it in the description anyway 😊
Hey Jordan,
Glad you liked the pod. We have put timestamps in the description. Can you find it?
@jordanbonello We have fixed it now. Sorry we're boomers haha
Great job as usual, thank you.
Glad you liked it
The paragraph bit was funny 🤣🤣😭
hahaha
Good pod guys !
haha thanks Sal!

100%. It's so crazy to me how he kept on while Dovbyk stood there.
Good job, guys. What's your prediction with the makeup games ata v juve, como v milan and bologna v inter
Thanks Antonio!
Ouff. Not a big fan of predictions of games but Atalanta vs Juve feels decisive in many ways (we'll discuss this regardless of outcome on Thursday pod for UA-cam members).
Milan must beat Como to stay in top 4. Inter at home to Bologna is interesting for many reasons, including can Bologna throw a spanner in the works for Inter again in Scudetto race at home
I can imagine Carlo patrolling the mean streets of Bedford in 2005 to counter baggy jeans threat
hahaha
I really wish you guys have made it with chapter 😢
We have. In the description you can see the timestamps no?
Get that huge salary Kvara. All the best to him
Yeah
Napoli don’t deserve the Scudetto for not addressing Kvara’s salary.
That's a bit harsh no?
Your argument on Kvara started on a bad note, cause Napoli offered 6 milion plus , he refused cause of the psg deal... i will love Kvara all my life but its time that he goes, in the meantime we bought his subsitute already Neres but no one has noticed I see 😂
Again, Kvara wanted a new improved contract after Scudetto. ADL refused. THAT was the mistake. Can't express it any clearer or simpler than that.
Good shout on Nicolussi-Caviglia. Maybe Juventus will buy him back for 60m and play him every match. Surely he is performing better than Koop and Luiz combined!!! Just being truthful and a bit facetious.
Great cast bros.
Cheers bro
So giving 10 million to Osimhen is incompetence and not increasing the salary to Kvara is also incompetence, please decide 😂
or you can listen to what is said as a whole. Or not.
Receiving 60m+ plus for a 2m purchase , adl should be applauded. Kvra hasnt performed great this season , doesnt suit conte style , and doesnt fancy the amount of running back he has to do . Good deal for all parties. He will be replaced . Dont agree with criticism of adl guys sorry
Agree to disagree bro
AC Milan are driving me mad! I don't know who is telling them which players to buy but he needs to be fired! I cannot continue to support such an incompetent team!
Who do you want fires sorry?
You talk of respect but is there respect from players towards clubs that believe in them? No they dont, they just move on as soon as they get a better deal, thats the truth
You're missing the point. Listen again to what we said in completion

@@chickomalta6258 It’s impressive how consistent you’ve been at producing opinions that miss the mark in this comments section
@@hitthurdeauxif you say so
Mancini is like that family member whom nobody wants to invite because he argues with everybody
hahaha
Milan wants to absorb all english premier league bums 😂
haha harsh
Delaurentis bought Kvara for 10 million, won the league and now selling him for 70 million, for me is a fantastic job not incompetance
Agree to disagree.
Losing your most talented player halfway through the season when you’re in the middle of a Scudetto race is, in fact, incompetence
@@hitthurdeauxClearly you were not watching Napoli matches lately, Kvara performance was well below the yeatlr of the scudetto, not to mention last season, Neres is playing far better than him, the latter just required some time to adapt to Serie A and to Conte tactics.

He’s had a 6mil a year contract on the table for over 6 months. He wanted more. Absolute nonsense
As we discussed it was too little too late.

It’s your casual opinion. Stats say otherwise.
