Imagine sending us to Serie D and even changing the name of the club... Now THAT would leave a scar... But this move today is going all-in by Maldini and Boban. Its like ordering oysters in a restaurant in hope to find a pearl to pay the bill. We are seriously fucked if things don't work out.What are you people smoking? Elliott saved Milan from bankruptcy. It was confirmed by Gazidis himself a few months back. He said that the club was spending way more than the revenue and the deficits were 100+ m per year. It was a matter of time before we were sent to Serie D just like Parma a few years ago. They also got UEFA off our backs for some time by agreeing to drop EL. In the long run this will turn out to be a very good decision.
If they had just sold at a small profit Rocco would've been fucked to death by FFP and now we would have another senile 'Daddy' talking trash. He spent the outstanding 28 m on his first mercato. Wow... so jealous. I can't even imagine the meltdown here if Elliott did sell to him and he entered SS as the new messiah promising instant glory and then spent less than 30 m on mercato
"What's your slogan? To win."
That's the most badass and assertive thing I've read in years within this club
INDIVIDUALS Pioli:
“Piątek is extremely effective in the box, he’s a goalscorer. A striker is often conditioned by the team’s play, he certainly has to be helped by the rest of the team. Paquetá is a complete attacking midfielder, both in quality and the quantity of what he produces. I often like to play about with the positions of my players on the pitch, so he could often play between the lines. Leão has a huge amount of potential which we have to make the most of. Suso is also a great player, he has to be put in the ideal conditions to express himself at his best, especially in one-on-ones.”
What else could he have said?
The important is to play and participate. Not win
Something like that maybe?

If he can translate his assertiveness to our players that would be fantastic. Our team hasn't been able to control games for over 3 years. Under montella and rino even relegation teams can go toe to toe against us
I adapt to my players. I have to improve them individually to make them grow even as a collective.
This is probably the best thing about Pioli. No more makeshift positions like Kebab as LCM or Suso as side-trequartista. I betcha he wont even play Conti as RB unless he has to. Based on comments about Piatek and Paqueta it's safe to say we'll play 4231.
I am extremely pessimistic like the rest of you. But for now there's nothing left to do but support the man and hope for the best.
Forza Stefano. Prove me and everyone wrong.
Taking a jab at GP haha
wow, you actually posted something other than "Maldini only in this to promote his son's career"! Astonishing
Literally every coach that Suso has played for recognizes his quality....but R&B thinks he's shit so he must be shit
Play him correctly and he'll do well.
He also needs a gigantic boot up his ass to not continually fuck up the flow of play. We don't need a Messi-esuqe goal every time. Sometimes you could play the simple pass or the quick 1-2 and empower your teammates. That adds tremendous unpredictability to our attack

I'm thinking the same also based on his press conference. Suso seems confirmed on the right, Pioli apparently is a big fan, and he'll use him in the same way Gattuso did.
The big question is what to do with Paqueta (or Hakan). Play as a mezzala like Gattuso and Giampaolo, or move him up to trequartista? It seems like he was hinting at the latter. The problem here becomes the left wing, where I don't think Leao has the discipline to play on the left side of a 4411 block. Maybe i'm wrong. Rebic can do it, but I don't think Leao can.
What is the alternative? I guess to play a more fluid front 4 of Leao, Piatek, Paqueta and Suso, but once we drop back into a 4411 shape Paqueta will play on the left side, with Leao floating around and acting as the very quick outball. It's closer to a 442 I guess which Pioli has used before (but he's used pretty much every formation and system I can think of).

Maybe we can use 5-5-3 sistem...14 in the field fuck it. Maybe Hakan would kick ass
Put snipers on the roof of the stadium to shoot tranquilizer darts at the other team
