Fabio is shit player but knowing his price (I think we pay 6m in total), he was actually one of the most useful player from that 2017 mercato. Or generally in the last 2-3 years.


Both wings, both fullback, striker, even MF :lol: what else can you ask for 6m? :lol:

At least he shown some passion and grinta... and he was barely worst player on the pitch (that perfectly tell you how shit our team was).

Inter have stepped up negotiations with Atalanta over a summer deal for Parma starlet Dejan Kulusevski.

Wtf I thought he was a Parma player but he's only on loan there... Atalanta own his papers.


Give then Caldara back on loan, butter them up, get Dejan in return. 35m they report... 30 to 40m... thats our wheelhouse these days.

Haland, Donyell Malen and Myron Boadu look like the best young strikers available. Milan should try and get one of them.

Already have one in Leao who has shown to have a very high ceiling

Just read this on reddit, didnt even thought about that before to be honest. This is just sad.

Although only playing for 2 seasons, Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the top scorer of the decade for AC Milan

I like that we are linked with many exciting prospects. Top 4 finish this season would be a miracle so I guess it's better to continue our youth project and let the kids play together without much pressure for the rest of the season. Then bring in someone like Spalletti for the coaching position and two experienced players in summer when many contracts will be expiring.

Todibo (19y, ~15m), Berge (21y, ~20m) and Boga (22y, ~15m) should be affordable with the sales of RR, Borini and Kessie. Money saved from Rebić's wage could be used for Ibra's wage.

Donna - Theo, Roma, Todibo, Conti - Krunić, Berge, Ben - Boga, Ibra, Suso.

This team would be fun to watch and I believe we would be scoring a lot more with Boga creating havoc on the left and opening spaces for Jack and Ibra to shoot. Even Suso should have more assists with big target man in the box.

I would also sell Paqueta if Leo offers 40m+ as he's way below my expectations this year. He's here for a year and he made zero progress. The thing is he's just way too slow. I believe he could be solid squad player in a functional team but the ceiling is just not so high to decline big money in the position we're in. Still, I don't think Maldoboban would sell him just now as he's kinda seen as a star of this team, being Brazilian number 10, even if he doesn't play for us recently.

Rebić out, Ibra in
Borini out, Boga in
Kessie out, Berge in
RR out, Todibo in

would be 10/10 mercato for me but it's probably too much work for winter.

It kind of surprises me that we currently have a manager who has been in charge for all of 9 games and some players are apparently giving up on fighting for a place in the team and are thinking they're too good for a squad role at Milan. RR has been out of the team for 12 games so that's it, he'd rather go and play in Turkey than compete for a place.
Rebic is competing for a place with underperforming starters but can't seem to be bothered to try to win that place so wants to go back to his comfort zone.

I guess they need to be playing for NT reasons and them leaving is generally positive for Milan but still shows a pretty shitty mentality. Good riddance.

This guy gets 2,5mil for sitting on the bench.
He needs to leave ASAP.

Has a fall from grace as big as Milan's ever happened to another big club in the past.

“When the ball gets to your [Cristiano] Ronaldos, [Paulo] Dybalas, Ronaldinhos, [Clarence] Seedorfs or [Andrea] Pirlos ... I have to put the other players in a position to get the ball to them, and once they have the ball they decide what to do with it, what the best decision is.

This is why I want a non Italian coach! Been saying it for years.

This article from German outlet BILD today mentions that former RB Leipzig coach and sporting director Ralf Rangnick could occupy two roles at Milan starting from next season; sporting director and coach.

Additionally, they're reporting that the Milan mgmt want him to get on board as a consultant from January, before taking over as a coach/SD in the summer.

Also, there's a common thread in this - It could help us in our pursuit of Haaland (if rumours are to be believed) as Rangnick is currently the 'Head of Sport and Developer' of the Red Bull company, along with RB Salzburg being a Red Bull-associated club.

He's not alone in only playing for 2 seasons, or less.
In fact we haven't had a striker playing regularly for at least 3 seasons in this decade.

Balp was here for 2 seasons before the Lpool sale. Then he returned on loan as a fringe player, and also missed large parts of the season due to an injury.

Pazzo had a good season, then he had the knee surgery and never really recovered. Plus he wasn't always a starter.

Bacca also had a (very) good debut season, and then a disappointing one which ended up being his last.

Torres, Destro & Maxi Lopez were here for 6 months, on loan.


Kalinic (somehow) sold after one season.
Silva also had one season with the team, before being sent elsewhere on loan.
Matri 6 months.

Pato played 40 league games in his final 3 seasons.

Cutrone was a rotation striker for 2 seasons.


EDIT
Oh, and how can I forget Higuain..

I bet that cocainomane is second on that list or at least third.

Out of all these strikers we have in last decade, winger is one of the best scorer ... it says a lot. :monto:

Ok, not, it's... 1. Ibra 2. Balo 3. Bacca 4. Elsha but it's not big difference between last three.

You dont have to name all the failures, I know all about them. I already said I was sad, are you trying to get me into depression?
