Well, to be fair...



MR’s presence on the forums is in question after the 11% YoY growth rate of posts during the winter transfer window WITHOUT him.



So it’s going to take some time until I find my new crush



Thank you. I had missed reading the findings of my question. I’m afraid your conclusion is justified.

Can you spoiler cunts not talk about shows in this thread? There's a thread for that.

So is Icardi going to be reintegrated into the team? Seems like that's what has to happen, not sure if they can keep going with just Lautaro.

It's obviously too early to judge, but I think looking back in retrospect we will find that Milan January 2019 is probably the best winter transfer market of all time for any team. Not sure I can think of a better one.

I think Chiesa would be an improvement on the LW, but i read that the market values him around 70m and he's not that good. Sometimes he looks explosive, but when he does, he has stamina issues. Technically is really nothing special

Cerci/Candreva on their 2014 form were better.

Since he looked quite composed and mature since his Serie A debut (before turning 19 years old) he might be someone who becomes world class for his choices rather than his skills, but until then spending 70m on him would not be an efficient use of our resources.

Wouldn’t be the worst replacement tbh. They would never be able to replace Icardi 1/1, and Dzeko is unlike Icardi a real professional. He’s spent a lot of time on the bench during his career but always managed to deliver a decent amount of goals.

This summer...

GK: Donna, Reina, Donna
RB: Conti, Calabria
CB: Romagnoli, Caldara, Musacchio, Zapata, Djalo
LB: Rodriguez, Laxalt, Abanda

Absolutely no additions required to the backline whatsoever. Just loan out Plizzarri, sell Strinic and don’t renew Abate. If none of the LBs have stepped up next season we can reinforce in winter.

:thumbsup:

Chiesa’s a very good prospect who’s having a great season but is massively overvalued because he’s Italian. For 70m we could buy 2 of Bergjiwn/Groeneveld/Lozano/Saint Maximin who all have a bigger upside. Besides, he’s predominantly a RW.

I'm annoyed at Chiesa's antics these days re: diving, reaction to fouls etc. Not sure he won't be a primadonna.

So is Icardi going to be reintegrated into the team? Seems like that's what has to happen, not sure if they can keep going with just Lautaro.

Yeah, Wanda is desperately mending bridges now. Icardi will sign a new contract at much lower wages than he asked and go back to the dressing room.

Marotta said Icardi didn't lose the captaincy because of the contract negotiations.
I think it's more likely he lost it because his teammates complained about him. My Inda friends tell me he doesn't seem to really get along with most of the other players.
So even if he does get a new contract he's still gonna be a negative influence in their dressing room

I don't know, i think maybe all parties agreed on making up this drama because they are interested in taking different routes on summer.

Making their former capitano less popular among supporters might be a plan to sell him on summer without generating discontent.

You guys are crazy. Chiesa is a beast. He is a young and upcoming player.

You can't compare his season to Cerci and Candreva. Those guys were already ordinary players who found a system that was perfect for their playing style.

Chiesa is a youngster who is just plain out talented and one of Italy's greatest prospects.

He can replace any one of our wingers and we should try to get him even if there's only a slight chance.

I want them to keep Icardi. As good as he is, he doesn't do much for the team overall.

If they were to sell him for a high amount, they would have a pretty good opportunity to strengthen the rest of their team and actually be a real threat.

Then again, they normally screw up when they have money anyway...

Whoa, too convoluted I think. It was Marotta flexing his muscles and it worked.

Icardi will renew and be sold to Madrid in summer since they missed out on Piatek. No way he stays another season after this saga and losing the captaincy.

I would like Chiesa here. I believe in current team he would be a significant upgrade, but L&M just proven us they are able to spend 70m (Piatek + Paquetà) more efficiently than that.
