rofl that bench midfield is better than the first team's midfield

I don't know about Baselli or Samasekkou, but Badelj was actually a big miss. I spent most of the summer not really wanting him unless we were selling Biglia because I was hoping Locatelli would step up this season. :fp:

But as it turned out, would have been great to have gotten him on a free.

I don't think we realistically could have gotten these players, and regardless: it's not a much stronger squad we have now. If Samu and Baka delivers and Cutrone continues to grow we have a shot at CL.

I'm not sure if Mirabelli could have done a better job with a 20m budget given that he didn't do too well with 230m+, but who knows for sure? Maybe he had Bernard and Badelj in his back pocket and was gunning for Depay and others. Or maybe he would have struggled and we would have ended up with Zaza.

The narrative I prefer to buy into though is that Leo couldn't have done better due to circumstances beyond his control such as time, budget and the will of other players and other clubs.

I'd like to judge Leo's work as a whole during the winter transfer window and next summer's mercato when there will be less excuses and a number of contracts are running out which will give him more room to maneuver.

In terms of sporting directors for me Leo has always been the dream - Rui Costa is another one because of the Milan DNA. I am really rooting for Leo to come up trumps in the next few years, and mentor Kaka as well.

And you’re employed at rnb to chat shit all the time?

Hey, don't knock it.

Mirabelli offered me 2.5 mil to be the new DM for Milan but he got fired before we could finalize the deal. Now I got to slum it in the commode to feed my illegitime children.

pretty much. just mucking around here. never serious in rnb so if I ever hurt anyone's feelings then all i can say is take it easy. Dont mind me. I am just annoyed we dint sign anyone in midfield that offers creativity. I will support the team regardless and I really hope we do well. I would prefer to have a proper coach rather than gattuso but I will support him unconditionally. It's just frustrating to see fodder players represent milan.

It also might have hurt swagger if he used swagger@compuserve.com on his resume for a contact email.

That would have tipped the ceo decision to singer

Hate maldini. Completely unqualified but got ahead using his daddy's connections and attending networking conferences.

What does it mean practically for Milan should we get a Voluntary Agreement?

Rino was seething. They just didn't seem to get it. He showed them on the chalkboard and they stared blankly at him. He slapped Jose Mauri a couple of times on the cheeks to get everyone to wake up.

Rino was exasperated. On a scale of on one to ten, one being a lazy Sunday eating pasta and drinking wine with Carletto while lying on a reclining chair as Monica stroked his head, and ten being nuclear, he was probably a seven and a half. At least the players weren't staring blankly because of mobile devices. No, he put a stop to that stupidity. This generation, always on the device, always on the smartphone. The smartphone has made them all stupido. Selfie, wefie, it drove him up the wall. No, he slapped the mobile devices out of their hands and banned smartphones from the training pitch and the dressing rooms.

Rino was angry. But they were still giving him that clueless look even when he used subbuteo pieces to illustrate his point. He slapped Jose Mauri twice on the cheeks and once behind the head for good measure but still nothing.

Rino was irate. He wasn't looking forward to the daily visit to the training ground from the direttore - Leo, the little imp who thought he was better than him. They all spoke to him like they thought he was simple or something. Why didn't Leo purchase better players if he was so clever? He wanted to chase the elf off with a fork. Preferably a big fork like il diavolo uses but a small fork would do. That big French-African tree? The Spanish wing queen and the Uruguayan lesbian? What was Leo thinking? The lesbian's dreadlocks made Rino want to hurl. It was as if Leo was mocking him. Getting more and more worked up, Rino called Jose Mauri to stand next to him so he could slap him at will while picturing Leo Araujo.

Rino was fuming. And what about the other one, Paolo? God's gift Paolo. What value did Paolo bring to the team? Sure Paolo was a fantastic player back in the day, a great athlete, but how was he going to do what he promised, to bring back the great Milan DNA? Rino asked Paolo a number of times only for Paolo to patronizingly tell him "Pazienza mio amico. All in good time." They all thought of Rino as a funny simple angry man. All grinta and no substance. He'd show them substance. He throttled Jose Mauri until both of them became slightly purple.

Rino was enraged. He chased the players around the training ground waiting for the two directors to show up. Jose Mauri surprisingly was pretty motivated for this part of the training session and ran out of reach. Rino settled for slapping Riccardo and Ignazio. Riccardo was always at the back and Ignazio always started pretty well but ran out of steam. He would beat the tactics, style, substance and yes, grinta, into this rag-tag bunch of misfits if it was the death of him. AS Roma wouldn't know what hit them.

Just for the record, I love Rino, all our team including Monto, Abate and Jose Mauri, all the new purchases and especially the two directors.

I have returned solely to guarantee victory tomorrow.

A loss, and I shall depart, entirely, until Winter mercato.

But, instead, I'll see you all on Saturday. xo.

I think they will rebound this game and spank us. They have to pick up form at some point and we are usually whipping boys cause we suck.

I can imagine Paolo and Leo being patronizing towards Rino. Looking at each other and curling their lips while he's not looking. :lol:

Top post again Truant. :thumbsup:

Maybe we should create a thread for this?
