You can never have enough UEFA contacts, especially when you want to spend and piss on FFP :lol:

:lol: Good point - didn't see it from that angle!

Gazidis doesn’t speak Italian and isn’t familiar with Italian football so Gandini will help him get acquainted. Also, Gandini has excellent relations with UEFA which need to be rebuilt after F+M and will help with FFP. Gandini will handle the sporting side and Gazidis the financial/commercial aspects.

Thanks. That makes a lot of sense!

I just hope Gandini doesn't carry over some of the financially irresponsible behaviour that B&G used to practice which was fine when Berlu was pouring money into the team but eventually led to the mess we are in now.

I guess Gazidis and Elliot will be auditing and keeping a close eye so no need to worry.

After the calamitous way our club has been run the last 10 years, mainly because of extremely poor management, I welcome polished professionals in these positions. Reintegrating Maldini into the club is such a huge, huge deal because he is Milan DNA. Same with Leo, same with Kaká.

Our squad doesn't yet match such a management, but that's not something we could fix this summer. Leo did marvellous with a zero sum market and we now need our new management to fix things properly from an economical and sporting perspective(acquire the voluntary agreement, rid the club of fodders eventually) before we start climbing to the top via great signings.

This team is good enough to make top 4 and CL, which is essential. The way all the pieces seem to land perfectly behind the team really bolsters the teams confidence, I think.

:thumbsup: I hope to see all of this translated to great on-the-field performances, starting with Roma on Friday.

It's about time people understand that Conti is not a RB. He is a RWB. The difference is huge. I like him a lot and hope for the best but he is not a RB. He will have the same positioning and marking problems like Calabria. Conti is fast, good crosser and has eye for the goal but he is not good at defending.

I actually think we are lining up for Conte and his 3 at the back bullshit.

Laxalt--------------------------Conti
-----RR----Romagnoli---Caldata---

Sub for the LWB - RR, Subs for the CBs - Musacchio, Zapata, Sub for the RWB - Calabria
This way we will use the best qualities of our players. Sticking with 4 at the back will cause a lot of problems, unless we Paolo starts working full-day with Laxalt, Conti and Calabria on defending.

Agree I’m also hyped for Conti, I think he was the most exciting signing for me last summer.

Hoping Laxalt can solve our LB issue, I’ve got high hopes for him.

All in all if Martial is possoble in winter that can help milan a lot.
Though Im not a specially big fan of his etc

After such a long absence, it'd be very hard to re-gain his past peak performance. Only a few manage to did it.

But i honestly hope that he's one of the few.

We ditched 352 last season because Romagnoli & Musa can't adapt to it, right?
And also, Montella were busy trying to fit Suso into the system.

But yeah, maybe 343 could work
Laxalt/Conti as LM/RM or LWB/RWB?

Martial has incredible talent....not sure about his mental strength though. He gives off this vibe of a player who is probably not going to make it.

yea singer would love that too. would be good to help the opposition a little bit because we have to make the game a little competitive out of respect for our prestigious opponents.

bit of a slimy lazy bitch to be honest but he would fit in well with most here in our club because they are all very much alike.

There's only one manager in the world that makes the back 3 work and that's Conte.

Leonardo could become Milan's new sporting director this fall. At the moment, Leonardo is the director of the technical area at Milan. [Gazzetta dello Sport]

this could open up space form kaka ,but clearly leo is the boss .

Leonardo is technically the SD already I just don't think he has his license in Italy yet so they just put him under another title.

IMHO, Gasperini's 3421 is more entertaining than Conte's 352. With Papu Gomez is playing a central role in making it entertaining.

Roma was never tried in the middle to which I think he could do well if taught right. He's talented on the ball and is able to make decent long passes and last season has shown to step forwards in midfield at times to support attacking play. We all are aware at his ability to read the game. I do think he could make a good libero, with caldara being his stopper. Lcb then becomes something to headscratch.

Musa has the ball playing ability to be in the center of a 3 man but I do not put trust in his ability to sweep or be the last man.

At least with a libero we wouldn't have to rely as much on the registra to dictate tempo and that responsibility could be shared with the defender freely stepping between defensive and midfield lines when in posession

Why the fuk are some people shitting on Hakan? Do you guys watch our games? Hakan is pretty good.

He's not the fastest so he isn't ideal as actual winger but in terms of adding creativity to our midfield, he's definitely more than able.
