Matri

Remember Pippo? :cool:

Clearly made a mistake I’ve owned up to it already. It’s a banable offence I know :lol:

Ronin · Jul 23, 2018

Pippo wasn't 30

IcyDiavolo · Jul 23, 2018

Higuain in a 433 with Cutrogol backup
OR
Potentially both playing together?

Damn that actually makes me hard. Lethal.

Ronin · Jul 23, 2018

At this moment, I wouldn't pay more than 40m for any striker older than 29. We won't be challenging for trophies, so no need for fading stars and I can't see Elliot doing such investments. What we need is a balance of youth with potential and proven players, which are not too expensive.

I would sell Bonbon, Snake, Silva, Kalinic and invest the money we have into an explosive winger and replacements for Bona and Biglia, which have WC potential. Musakio, Roma, Zapata and Gomez are enough in defense for current objectives, as well as are Cutrone + Bacca (or a similar replacement) for CF.

Dokoa · Jul 23, 2018

Benzema over Higuain anytime

Yeah selling Bonucci the one WC player we have definitely means we won’t be fighting for silverware anytime soon.

Very glad this won't happen.

Do you think we can win Scudetto this year or next? Even with a striker like Higuain up top.

Rossoneri97 · Jul 23, 2018

Lewandowski or Suárez only.

Serie A? Clearly no, but cup competitions with a bit of luck we might win.

Also our objective should be getting back into the CL for this season, something that Higuain or Cavani would help immensely if we actually keep the core we have (Bonucci is part of)

I don't mind selling Bonucci if we get somebody equally as good at least, but we won't with our budget.

Getting a young promising player when Roma isn't ready to lead the defence won't work either.

Ronin · Jul 23, 2018

Yes, getting to CL is the objective, as is making money out of it. Spending that money on salaries of some old guys with 2-3 years left in them contradicts that.

Lol, Why?

People who don't watch Madrid are the ones who rate this guy so highly. He can barely score at Madrid and yet people think, he will score here?

Not if those old guys get us Champions League? They will earn more than that salary and transfer fee for us. Makes sense to anyone and everyone.

We can get there without them.

Buying two midfielders and a winger with "explosive potential" is a far less secure way of making money in the long term than buying sure things like Higuain.

What this club needs now is to get into CL immediately, and stay there. For that we need instant performers, fuck the potential team.

Exactly. Issue with potential, its just that potential. Too many factors go into a development of a player, teammates, environment, coach, family life, temperament, work ethic. Its just risky. We have an academy for a reason.

Look at Silva. Look at Mastour, El Shaarawy, Halilovic, Depay. These players were touted as the best upcoming players, look now. Focus on the here now and get potential for cheap, we have Leo now, he has a good eye for that.

Milan offer Higuain four-year deal?

https://www.football-italia.net/124848/milan-offer-higuain-four-year-deal

€4.5m a season seems too modest.

DeNiro · Jul 23, 2018

Leonardo already started working as a new technical director of Milan for a few days: La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the official return of the Brazilian to the Rossoneri should take place within the half of this week (possible announcement already today or tomorrow).

Agree. Mirabelli did good job last summer in regards to fill this team with huge potential. Now it’s time to add proven star players to raise the bar.

Everybody can see what Bonuccis presence has done to Romagnolis development. Now we need players like Higuain, Vidal etc. to do the same to other departments.

The contacts between Umberto Gandini and Elliott intensifies. There will be new contacts today, and Gandini is the first choice for the CEO role at Milan. Gandini would be very happy to return to Milan, having already worked there for 23 years. [MN]

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas to L'Equipe: "Memphis Depay will not leave. We struggled to return to the Champions League, and this is not the time to act ridiculous."

Kaka92 · Jul 23, 2018

well that's bad, it seems that we won't go for any winger because i can't see any better option than depay (at least not for reasonable price) :rolleyes:

go for depay in january.

if hakan stays on winger then we need cebalos or meyer who will be LCM, definitely don't want jack there anymore.

IL Diavolo 3 · Jul 23, 2018

Very familiar quote from Lyon president, almost says the same things when he sells.

DeNiro · Jul 23, 2018

My main concern is keeping bonnuci and getting a good LW

Whatever striker we get im cool with (morata,higuain,immobile)..and im pretty sure we'll do ok in midfield. I have trust in leonardo in Elliot this time

Leonardo - Gattuso: distanze su idea di calcio.
Come riportato da Il Giornale in edicola oggi, 23 luglio 2018, Leonardo e Gattuso sembrano aver superato gli screzi risalenti a sette anni fa. Le posizioni dei due, però, restano distanti sull'idea di calcio: al brasiliano piace il calcio offensivo, il famoso "4-2 fantasia". Gattuso invece è un italianista.

Il Giornale: Leonardo and Gattuso have resolved their issues but they is still distance between them on football style and philosophy.

Leonardo likes attacking football 4-2-Fantasia while Gattuso tends to the typical Italian football.

IL Diavolo 3 · Jul 23, 2018

he is coming home.

The Rumour Commode XXIII: The Reality Era

Who will be our #9?

Ciro; no-nonsense Serie A-certified poachers are our thing

Higuain; 25-goal season with the Milanello diet (Pasta Si, Burger No!)

Benzema; Cristiano vs Karim for the Capocannoniere

Zaza; For the acrobatic goals

Dybala; Will always look better in Rossoneri

Morata; Your Rejects are our Queens

Pavoletti; But why not?
