Cellino whoring out Tonali. Making up "bids", trying to start a bidding war. Looks like the big clubs aren't falling for his BS!

So, Billy is the only defender in the world that has played against both Maradona and Messi ?
Wouldn't Maldini have done so too?
When Maradona was at Napoli and between 2006/09.
From looking, Messi wasn't even on the bench in 2006, and was on the bench but didn't play in 2005.
So, I can't see how it was an official game. Interesting fact though.

Even Cellino does not believe this shit. The kid has good potential but everything over 30 m is overpaying

Honestly, I think Juve and Inter are probably not that interested in Tonali. I know that Ausilio said Tonali was an "Inter player" or whatever, but I don't see why they would need him; Inter have so many CMs. Juve, as well, and while they might get rid of some of them, there's still too many.
My sense is that Milan might have put forward the most concrete interest, and Cellino is trying to correct his mistake by saying he'd do whatever Tonali wanted, which seems to lower his leverage considerably.
I don't know if Rangnick wants him, and I have become impressed with Tonali as the season has progressed--initially I just saw him for what he was: a young kid in Serie A for the first time--but he's grown on me and has grown into his role.
I think Belotti would be a great fit for what Rangnick does, if Ibra doesn't stay, I think he'd be a great option, for a reasonable fee. I will say, we're still being linked with Scamacca, and from what I've seen of him, I love the way he plays. He really reminds me of Ibra, but, who knows, he'll probably be the next Robert Acquafresca.
I also hope we can take that Kouassi kid from PSG, it'd be so nice to give a nice middle finger to them. I look at that team and I feel like a lot of what they do is what Milan should/would've been since 2012.

Lol, rumors are that Rangnick wants to build his new side out of the following players:
Gianluigi Donnarumma, Theo Hernandez, Andrea Conti, Ismael Bennacer, Hakan Calhanoglu and Rafael Leao.
No Romagnoli? Conti to be depended on? Leao?
Hakan Calhanoglu? Well, that just makes perfect sense. He is our 10.
[I need an argument.]

conti pre injuries was a monster, maybe ragnick thinks he can rehabilitate him. hakan was great in bundes, romagnoli has been here for a while and may want out any time now. That is if any of this is true.

Conti had a stretch this season where he was like... Awesome. It was like 3-4 games where he played great, before he returned to being inconsistent. I hope he can make Conti great.

Unfortunately I'm too young (31) to have witnessed Costacurta during his prime. The Milan I fell in love with was the one of Ancelotti. And to be frank, I never liked Costacurta that muchSo, Billy is the only defender in the world that has played against both Maradona and Messi ?
. Don't know... In my (admittedly uneducated eyes back then) he was slow and error prone... Definitely past his time... Nowhere near the shier elegance and effectiveness of Nesta or the determination and leadership of Maldini... I'd love to see some full games with him during his prime. Would be an interesting watch.
Conti if he stays is looking to be the backup to the new rb. One of Calabria / Conti is good enough for back rb. Looks like new rb could be Dumb Freeze from Ajax!

You're like a little girl with this guy. Lighting some scents under the Hakan poster every night.

If people didn't hate on him as much as they do, I'd probably be much harsher on him.
I also just want to instigate debate on this page.

I guess, because one was a football genius and the other is a training cone.
So yeah, funny.

If Ralf says yes that would mean we have a serious budget/project in mind.

According to latest TMW rumours, Brazilian international midfielder Lucas Paquet? (22), who might end up leaving AC Milan, which he joined on January 2019, has been targeted by both Benfica and Valencia. While Rossoneri are planning to let him out on a no less than 27 million euros transfer fee, former Flamengo star is still tracked by Paris Saint-Germain, though French giants are not about to step towards him anymore for the time being, and Fiorentina, which Paquet? isn't regarding much as a destination.
Swap with one of their players?

I still think it is a good idea to give Paqueta a chance under Ralf. The guy is a fine player (skillset, vision, etc) who struggles to adapt to European football. What I like about him is that he is a hard worker. He actually seems like a very Ralf profile - young, skillful, quick feet, etc. His problem is his joga bonito mentality but that can change under the right tutelage...
