I’m sorry I must have missed the matches where he behaved badly. Would you be generous and remind me where he behaved badly?

If you are referring to the biglia incident on the bench then i think it’s a reaction in the heat of the moment where a brown nose biglia provoked him.

If you think kessie played bad then I would suggest you re-watch a Milan game where kessie was unavailable.

It's because people expect Kessie to run and win the ball, then dribble it up and then make the right decision either passing or shooting / scoring. His decision making could use work but we were in a lot of those great positions to score because of his hard work to begin with.

I assume his team mates must stand and watch. He’s the one to chase the ball, he must ensure Calabria looks decent and Suso isn’t isolated. When he’s done all that he must carry the ball forward because biglia will pass backward and hakan will pass to biglia.

But yeah he’s very bad.

Montolivo and Betolacci contacted Maldini asking if they can train at Milanello until they find a team to join.

Oops, I left out the part where I think it's unrealistic what people ask of Kessie. :lol:

In agreement with you.

Sure give us back a nice percentage of that salary you ate up not wanting to leave

OVUNQUE CON TE · Jul 22, 2019

Can Depay or Correa play as a trequartista?

Depay, Correa, Praet would be nice.

RR and 20-25 for Depay would be a good offer.

50 mil for correira? no way. 15- 20 mil Max. it's an investment lol. we aren't ******ed enough to pay that much I hope. I mean the kid is good but he isn't top tier yet.

Even sms doesn't warrant 30 mil plus.

What year do you think it is? :lol:

Invite Rino too, seems like no one is offering him job after his last magnificent season.

MarioReality · Jul 22, 2019

giampaolo will be the most important thing we've done in ages

justiface · Jul 22, 2019

imagine worrying about overpaying when your owner is the alpha vulture who has UEFA's balls in his hands while he takes a shit on the FFP rule book.

I expect him to really up the game of certain players, but especially Kessie and Bennacer. They have the talent to form an immense midfield tandem. A coach that can bring out the talent we know is there from certain young guys will be like a new signing in and of itself

Rino sucked

I’ll give you better troll angles

Such as: Rino was good.

Had half the god damn forum in a twist over that

How does forum feel about this

Soldier_of_god · Jul 22, 2019

honestly it's quite sad lol. but I guess if they are just going to train it's alright?

what if they injure our players out of frustration?
what if they start an disrupt the team morale?
what if they concoct a plan to steal our resources ?

they can be our ball boys?

Damn...this guy looks good. We should def sign him if we can get him for cheap.

A midfield of Suso Paqueta Kessie Bennacer Zaracho Bona Krunic Praet is a huge improvement on our squad last year and is very solid.

Get rid of Biglia, sign Praet and Zaracho and be done with the midfield.
Sell Silva and Borinii/Samu and sign a good SS.
Sell one of the GKs, there's absolutely no need for 4 in our squad. Reina and Donna are both on high wages too. Sell Laxalt. Sign a CB with the remaining budget and any funds from the above sales.

Very realistic and good enough for Serie A.

What’s crazy is Montolivo had an offer but didn’t want to leave. A 3 year contract in fact, but chose not to leave because his salary was too nice at Milan.

I’m curious for you to elaborate on this. Do you mean you don’t have to be a good dribbler to be a good player? Obviously that’s true. The ability to pass and move is probably the truest most basic aspect of football that any player must learn, dribbling is clearly not a necessity. Dribbling is also one area of football where stats can be deceiving, bakayoko was good at driving the ball forward using his athleticism, I don’t think many of us would say he’s a good dribbler in the sense of close control or ability to beat his man though.

But I hope you aren’t trying to downplay the importance of a good dribbler and what they can do. Objectively good dribblers, players like Neymar, Messi, hazard, Mbappe are what sometimes separates finding the net and playing like Spain. Penetration and directness. Not to mention, often times at the highest level, like a big Champions League match for example, dribblers are the only thing that can break down a great defense. What I mean by that is if you’re playing a great backline, like Juve from a couple seasons ago, where the whole team is organized and gets their spacing down, there’s only so much quick passing and ball movement can do. However, a great dribbler can unlock that at any moment, especially in a 1v1. But everyone knows this.

Again, just curious to see what you mean by that claim

This is one of those topics that is difficult to explain over a forum and needs a conversation.

Dribbling stats are directly taken as an indication that the player is good. A significant proportion of these top dribblers are mediocre in executing a plan. No serious team signs a player just because he’s a dribbler, the guy needs to be sound in more direct aspects of football primarily.

The top players that you mention are all great passers and guys who understand the big picture game plan. They know how to use dribbling as an attribute to help them do the larger things.

While my favourite example of a guy whose core quality is dribbling but is pretty mediocre at more important things is Robinho.

Chiko · Jul 22, 2019

This Hachim Mastour kid just left the Greece club (Lamia FC) without notice and that’s the exact reason he never could and never will fulfill his potential. A poor attitude and probably worse application.

I thought this kid would be good. Can’t account for attitude towards work I suppose.

I found out that Correa actually played as a RIGHT MID most of the games last year. Well thats interesting. Didnt watch Atl last year... hence the goal ratio of Correa?

Would make sense. Plus Simone's defensive ethos would explain alot. He has incredible potential. If we got him and Memphis we would have a hell of an attack.
