What an absolute monster he was. The greatest defender ever. Period.

Outgoing transfers:
Suso: loan + an option
Piatek: loan + an option
Rodriguez: loan + an option
Caldara loan + an option
Borini, Mauri, Bettolacci & Zapata: free
Reina: dry loan

Good stuff until now.

Right people are being sold but the deals are awful on the sale aspects.

Overall, I think Maldoban have done great bringing players in but they are definitely seeming to be more beta when selling players.

Caldara - awful proposal from us. Just make the flatout sale and don't give Atalanta a free and clear choice if they want to sign him or not if he comes good. Basically if he gets back to his old form it's an AMAZING price for him. And if he doesn't, he just becomes our dead weight with Atalanta just chilling... 1/10 deal here.

Piatek - hard to judge the deal but if they get close to the fee we initially paid for him that's ok. that said I have very little faith we will be getting good value for him

Rodriguez - bought for 20m. selling for ... 5!!!??? WTF! I'd rather keep him as a backup rather than sell for 5. crazy bad sale price.

Suso - hard to say what the deal is but I guarantee it's yet another option to buy and we probably will be selling him for ~20 or less rather than 30m.. just seems crap and usually the selling team gets the better of the 2 in winter transfers but not the case.


- basically, I like Maldoban's incoming transfer work. But man the outgoing is so bad we basically give players away... gross

No.

We could have paid 100 mil for each of the fodder.

That does not mean you will sell them at the same price.

They are fodder and nobody is stupid enough to pay good money for trash.

We have to start selling them at all cost because there are so many.

Imagine if suso played last game with rr and piatek.

Think we would have won?

Would you buy them for good money?

I can see why galliani did his utmost to keep maldini away.

So far maldini burned money on has been, unproven players from french league, really awful Italian cbs , and Genoa's overpriced garbage.

The only thing missing are those ugly golden ties.

But at least he is working hard to get rid of duds which galliani never did.

CEO Ivan Gazidis has spoken to Paolo Maldini about the possibility of accepting a different role in order to stay at AC Milan, a report claims.

Last month, we revealed via our correspondent Vito Angele that Rangnick will indeed agree a role as manager – that is the double responsibility of head coach and the man in charge of the transfer market.

Angele also told us that despite the fact Maldini has been widely tipped to leave Milan at the end of the season, Rangnick on the other hand has a different opinion on the matter.

According to Saturday’s edition of Il Giornale (via MilanNews), Milan could call Rangnick if things do not go well in the next few days, thus bring forward his arrival at the club.

If that were to happen though then the Maldini issue would have to be addressed, and the paper claims that Gazidis has already had a meeting with the former captain, asking him to be available to cover another job other than being responsible for the technical area.

Maldini doesn't get enough credit for the team he builded. Especially not here. Building a team cost time and no not everything goes the way you hope for but we have a pretty interesting project right now. Add some few additions and we can finally play for a top 4 position.

I don't like how quickly we wanted to replace him and blame him for the bad results. It shows how little trust they have in him.

OK Maldini, I know you like to work in the shadows so please continue more of this "shadow work" and bring me Chiesa, a CB, and a good RB (not Aurier).

Is Chiesa overhyped? He is certainly overpriced by Fiorentina if one looks at the reports coming out of Florence
