Ricardo Rodriguez and his agent leaving Casa Milan after a 2-hour meeting. The meeting was deemed as «positive», and Ricardo will stay at Milan. [@cmdotcom]

Enzo Raiola and Donnarumma had a meeting last Thursday with Leonardo and Maldini at Casa Milan. They took stock of the project of the new Milan ownership. In these days the management is meeting the players to explain their intentions in the club’s new course [@MilanNewsit]

Milan were interested in Sevilla midfielder Steven N’Zonzi before he joined Roma and had contacts with some transfer market intermediaries, but then preferred to sign Bakayoko whom they were able to bring on loan with option to buy [@MilanNewsit]

I was wondering why we never thought of him... great DM. Roma got him for 28 I believe?

I recently read premier league news, before the LIV-BHO match, it said like this: "Liverpool needs to learn to win ugly".
And yeah, they won... ugly.
After that game, I somehow understand, yes sometimes big clubs have to learn about "win ugly".

Well, some of us, idk, like you, wants "attractive" football. Even though it's not so clear what is the criteria of that "attractive". Almost all EPL games are very attractive to watch, I think.. so, what kind of attractive? There's no real standard about it. It's too subjective.

Meanwhile, some of us, like me, what we want is to WIN.
I don't care about what kind of formation the coach use, either it is win ugly or not, we need to WIN.
And yes Conte so far has no Eruopean title, but hey, it's Juve & Chelsea, European title is not in their DNA.
It's too fast talking about winning European title right now. Our objective should be built step by step, we have to win in Italy first.

Come on man, admit it, we will have more winning chance with Conte than Gattuso.
If we not quick, Inter will have him.

You have to be some kind of special to think you have to make a choice between attractive football and successful football. When I ask for attractive football, I do not exclude success from the equation. I want the team to win and I want the team to do it by playing offensively and exciting.

Also while the definition of attractive isn't set in stone, as a Milan fan one should have at least some idea what could be considered attractive.

Love the part where Conte failed in Europe but it's not his fault, blame the club DNA Also he sucked dick in his second Chelsea season and turned the squad against him in hilarious fashion.

Conte is not a guarantee of success that some people seem to think.

Hmmm difficult question to answer.

Although ozil is a superior player if he gives half a fuck (as was observed when arsenal played us) , these days he is clearly more interested in being a geopolitical pawn and a traitor to the erstwhile great nation of Germania. In fact, if I was Farage, I would put his face on anti-immigration posters as a prime example of foreign worker stealing jobs from good hard working Englishmen like Alex iwobi.

But I digress.

Germany could have performed better with hakan instead of erdozil, and even more so with Sane. But they would be on borrowed time, regardless. Loew's tactics were wank.

 

[Curupira]

How many games Laxalt has played as left fullback? He looks so weak physically.

He was dominated by Ocampos when he played for us

At best Laxalt turns into an Urby for us and we can at least plug him in different spots

 

[IL Diavolo 3]

Does anyone ever read news that said a coach was fired because his team doesn't play attractive football?

Many many times.

 

[IL Diavolo 3]

Higsy was on for a run at goal in the second half... But as usual fodavenrura wanted a couple of extra touches

When was bonaventura known for his vision or releasing the ball on time?

He did very well considering his limitations.

And trust me I am the last one to give him credit for anything.

It would be smart to put a call into Marchisio for free, although I don't think he will play for another Italian club.

That neither here or there if you actually want to qualify for CL. Did good for his limitations? So what, we should stop this attitude of giving merit badges for anyone that stepped onto the field.

The guy should not be a starter for a team that wants to qualify for CL places, the odd goal here and there is not what we need from either a midfielder or winger ( he is shite in both positions)

As for Marchisio? He would be awesome here, but i doubt it happens. Last i heard he was heading to France.

Is anyone going to create Milan vs Roma thread?

Bonaventura is the last to worry about in our midfield right now.

Just an FYI I was always anti-bona and I don’t think high of him but against Napoli he did very well.

You do it.

Conte is not a guarantee of success that some people seem to think.

And so does Gattuso. No one said Conte is a guarantee of success. Look, we haven't had any great coach since Allegri. Seedorf, Pippo, Montella, Gattuso. Now we finally have the chance get a great coach, Conte, and again, we let him go away.

I still can't believe how come people defend Montella so hard last year but never give a chance for Conte.
Conte is the real reason why jube won 7 scudetto in a row. He is the one who builds jube foundation.

If Gattuso failed, and Conte went to Inter, Massimo Oddo will be our next coach, or maybe Pippo Inzaghi will have his 2nd chance.

The difference is that we employ Gattuso.

You act like Conte is gone forever if he hires somewhere, even the best coaches get fired every 2-3 years on average and Conte isn´t an easy person.

 

[rossonero1]

At least if Gattuso gets off to a bad start then he'll get sacked quickly. They won't let him stick around until November to be mediocre like Montella last season.

 

[rossonero1]

Juve, Napoli, Spal, Sassuolo the current top 4. Just how we all said it would be haha.

 

[Sage]

it's a bad time to defend rino, the napoli game tactics were among the worst ive ever seen

You're the one that asked me to choose between attractive football and success as you were advocating for Conte. Now you admit that Conte doesn't guarantee success - so how are we choosing success? Better think this through next time.

We have actually no idea who a potential Gattuso successor would be currently.

 

[Hugh Janus]

same as 352 players we got last season.

Can you really not see the difference between Conte and Montella?

 

[joyrider]

Definetly, I’m sure L&P will give him good advice.

Next match is a new chance.

 

[milanator]

The Gattuso is a bad tactician narrative starts again ...

 

[Massaro94]

If only Elliot had taken over sooner. Could have gotten Sarri

 

[Massaro94]

Wants to play out from the back

Leaves Pepe Reina on the bench

#Genius

 

[.A.K.]

I personally can’t believe gattuso is still here


I told u he has no tactics


Everyone hyping how good his defensive tactics are


We were good because the the Cuck and romagnoli

Romagnoli alone won’t stop everything


I think we finish 8th this year with Gattuso


If by some miracle we get conte we will finish 4th

Yes he was against napoli. Where is the lie?

caldara too, but I guess he has the whole 3 man/new to team excuse.


dumbarumma is less technical than emile heskey

 

[rossonero1]

Let Reina play in Serie A where it matters and Donnarumma in the Europa League/Coppa Italia.

Fools keep looking backing to the jan-march form where we played a bunch of nobodies

Should have been sacked after the humiliation vs arsenal... But on top of that he couldn't even get a win vs Benevento ffs.

If we get conte its just a sideways shift... Lots more grinta, very little technical improvement.

Just look at Chelsea under sarri compared to the previous 2 seasons.
