So why not loan him out? Hes a 19 year old youngster ffs.
Should have loaned him to a foreign club to get playing time and develop.

Id want to leave too if my club signed a 50 year old Essien who cant run because they didnt believe in me. Such a short term move.

Hes under contract for a long time and the club could have easily made it clear they would only want to loan him out.

He didn't want to go on loan. He asked to be sold outright ffs. Why can't people move on already?

He had a contract for 4 or 5 more years. Tell him it's loan or stay, he has no leverage.

People haven't and shouldn't move on because we have issues in the midfield and gave away a massively talented young player that should be helping our team now while growing and improving and instead we passed that off for a very old and expensive Essien and to train and develop another team's young talent.

Senatore_M84 · Oct 20, 2014

the only argument i can make against loaning him or keepingh im against his will is agents power.

Don't want to piss off agents and get screwed in future. See: Pissing off Raiola, losing Pogba to juventus as a result.

Guiseppe Riso is a pretty powerful fifa agent iirc, I believe he's still Cristante's agent

It shouldnt have gotten to the point where he wanted to leave in the first place. Why loan a player from another team when this makes your biggest talent leave?

jawz10 · Oct 20, 2014

The Milan management clearly and decisively told him that he wasn't in the plans for the near future. They kept signing average foreigners and going for players who would directly compete with him, even while saying publicly that they wanted to focus on youth. Couple this with Italian football's complete reluctance to trust young players who aren't complete by the age of 20 and Cristante knew the writing was on the wall. He actually did the smartest thing for his career, getting out of Italy and away from inept managers like Galliani.

lol I surely cant be the only one that knows that he'll return?

Only got 5 minutes today... still sad that its more Champions League time than our whole squad combined this season.

Goodfella · Nov 6, 2014

Benfica will probably also want to loan him out soon..let's see what he does this time.

A Wild Homosexual · Nov 6, 2014

He should be thankful he got away from Milan.
I dont know if its Milan or Pippo or both , but far better performers in SES & DES arent progressing , in fact regressing , & playing like shit so I doubt he would have made a difference.

Not Pippp. It's a structural Milan thing. Balotelli, Pato, de Sciglio, el Shaarawy, Cristante, Niang etc even a bit older less established players like Urby, Poli, Constant etc

Show nice potential when they break through then don't develop.

Which of those above players, who were/are supposed to be Milans golden boys, is a better player than two seasons ago?

Soldier_of_god · Nov 6, 2014

niang.

JRMPinto · Nov 22, 2014

Made 90 minutos today in the Portuguese cup. Very good game, actually. Excellent long pass capacity, as usual.

Hahaha, well there was an article about Cristante and since he has played very little at Benfica (around 150 min... guess he was not as ready as some thought), he might come on LOAN at Milan. I guess now we'll be the feeder club for Benfica :lol:

Would love it, but sounds like BS.

Remember that he was only transferred on the deadline day and had to move to a new country and establish himself as a 19 year old.

Benfica knew he was not a finished product. He has shown some flashes and I would be very surprised if he doesn't get more time going forward.

On similar lines, Benfica might me better for Cristante than AC Milan. It is good that he ran away. It is not good for young footballers to toggle between countries and clubs. Better to stay at one place, fight for a place and grow.

Soldier_of_god · Nov 30, 2014

He is a bitch ***** like gourcuff. We dont need bitch boys like him here. Rather have average players who bleed for our shirt over wastrels like cryan. If you leave milan, you are dead to me. He is similar to gourcuff in this regard, as in he dint want to fight for his place in a big club like milan.

Cristante has played more Champions League minutes than the entire Milan squad combined this season.

If Benefica played Milan, they probably win.

Milan is a historic big club, but its a mess right now. We pay has beens huge salaries while young players get stuck on the bench. He had the option between being stuck in a toxic environment where his path is blocked by big salaried mediocre players that get to play regardless of how they perform, or leaving for a team that historically has been good at integrating young talent and who makes the CL almost every year...

No thanks! Rotten on the bench in Benfica plz

Whatever the case may be, this fodder is still dead to me.

Cristante is and was no way near ready to start for a mediocre Serie A team and would have been of no good use for us this season. He's talented, but lacks experience even for a 19 year old. Verratti had over 70 first team appearances at this age. Kroos had over 60 matches in Bundesliga alone. Cristante has 4 starts.. And it shows..

He should've spent the last seasons playing regular football for some Serie B or maybe midtable Eredivisie club, but for some reason that didn't happen and he forced a move to Benfica's bench.

Username · Nov 30, 2014

Haha he leaves Milan for playing time and ends up in Benfica's fucking bench. Poor little fuckboy.

The Man · Nov 30, 2014

Cristante out
Bonaventura in

What a bargain! Cristante is really overrated. If he would be ex Milan Colombian or something like that no Milan fans would be interested but of course you want the youth products to succeed.

I don't get the Cristante hate.. He's a talented player who came through the ranks and I wish him all the best in his career Milan mistreated him and he deserves to chance to look for more playing time elsewhere. He's still young and will take time to adjust to a new style of play and no one should think he will be a world beater so quickly and so young.

I don't hate him, but his representatives started making threats before he had even turned 18 and it seems he thinks he was too good to be sent on loan to some smaller club.

A part of me will pity him...the other part will LMAO at him and his crew when he'll realize he probably should have spent some seasons in Serie B.

I believe he'll eventually turn into a good player though, unless he gives up after the setbacks.
