Capello knocks Chukwueze, others
The former Juventus and Milan manager expressed his thoughts in his latest column, according to Italy-based Sempre Milan.
According to the legendary manager, the signing of Chukwueze and nine others was an error by his former employers.

“The heavy turnover in the summer was a risk for Milan,” he stated. “The owners invested 132 million euros in ten players, but not all of them have proved to be up to the task, at least not yet.”
Speaking on Chukwueze, Capello noted that the 24-year-old Nigerian has become shy and is yet to show the wonderful things he did in Spain.
)
“I think of Chukweze who in Spain, with the Villarreal shirt, did wonderful things,” he added.
“At Milan, however, he is still a shy player. A question of settling in, of course, but also pressure because the Rossoneri shirt weighs more than the others, withstanding the impact of a stadium like San Siro requires a considerable amount of personality.
)
“Like the Nigerian, other newcomers are also struggling. It is a sign that the summer Mercato was important but perhaps some evaluation errors were made in the planning phase.”
