The Rumour Commode XXIX: The real Maldoban era.

[Nevermore]

Hate to start that argument again.
But this season is a part of a free fall that started long time ago.
Neither boban/maldini nor ivan&gordon are responsible for it

 

[Milan10]

If we had played kajer we would have won, we conceded 2 freak goals, not like we got dominated

a midfield of hakan- benacer - kessie or Hakan- (New DM)- benacer would be alright for top 4

Issue is front 3- no cohesion whatso ever. Ideally you want a new striker and a RW who can cross, so rebic would be dangerous on the left hand side

Lol we are so far from a top 4 squad it?s not even funny. Last season was a fluke with Serie A as bad as it has ever been.

 

[Omer]

ivan&gordon... no money

No money?? What are you smoking? They freaking spent 28-30 mil on Leao! 11 mil on Duarte!

At the same time Lille spent 12-13 mil on Osimhen!

The most Rangnick has spent on a player is around 15-20 mil!

 

[Omer]

I can?t wait for Milan to have competent directors that don?t waste 15M on players like Duarte and Sale, and who don?t hire managers like Giampaolo and Pioli.

Maldini can stay to convince players to join! But Milan need top directors for the important sporting decisions!

 

[LocalHero80]

What's the reason for buying salesmaker again? Could have waited some more and see what he can offer? Rebic was bad tonight, I don't think we can count on him as main guy in the offense, definitely need some primary options.

 

[Kaka92]

Tbh Salemakers was pretty much decent tonight, especially when he moved him to RB. He had several good crosses, passes and after all, it was kinda his "assist" in that last goal.


I don't expect wonders from him, he just came to new club and league but for 7m he's fine.

Well they hired Giampaolo that didn?t help.

Yes, he was frustrating to watch because even if you’re having a bad game at least get the corner in the box. Basics. But overall he was fine.

We paid 7M!? Fuck

 

[Omer]

We paid 7M!? Fuck

3.5 mil was the loan fee which was already spent whether they keep him or not. So the club had to choose whether he's worth more than 3.5 mil to redeem the option.

If they loan him out for a year they should easily get more than 3.5 mil. Then it would be worth having taken the option for 3.5 mil.

But yes he's not ready for a top 6 team in Serie A.

 

[Kaka92]

Nowdays 7m is almost nothing.


I really don't get the hate because he's been decent so far. Give him a chance, after all, he needs to adapt to new club and Serie A.
Good side of him is that he's versatile player who can play several position on both sides and it's always good to have such a player in squad.


Let's see him next season under Ralf. If he's good, fine, if he flop, we'll sell him, you can always take almost same money for him. Simple as that.

As I said, I don't expect anything sensational from him but as a bench player he's fine.



We have way worse transfers and way worse players on the pitch...

"7M is nothing for Saelemaekers, 11M is nothing for Duarte, 8M is nothing for Krunic..."

In total it is 26M, for 26M you can take 1-2 good talents if you use good scouts.

 

[IL-Capitano]

ivan&gordon... no money

^ What he said.

Worked well? Then who is responsible for this crap season by Milan?

However I will elaborate. Were Maldini and Boban perfect no, mistakes Have been made but they have made good signings also . If I were to list the mistakes made by all the directors of Milan it would take some time. Galliani made dozens of them dozens multiplied.

The last couple of shitty years have resulted for several reasons. The last 10 years of B&G were devastatingly bad for Milan, the lee take over was a fraud and the Elliott take over hasn’t been very smooth. M&F had no plan just went on a drug induced spending spree. And yes Maldini + Leo + Boban have been a little hit and miss.

The bad seasons were coming because of poor management dating back to Galliani- standards slipped and continued to do so. It was inevitable that Milan would reach our current situation and it won’t be an easy fix. Hopefully Rangnick will alter everything but no one can be sure.

Post Covid-19 a lot of clubs are going to be in the shit up to their necks and the silver lining for Milan is the clubs debts are minuscule compared to other clubs.

 

[Il grande Milan]

Saelemaekers? entourage has confirmed that Milan redeemed Alexis this morning

This forum local scouts called him fodder

He is, a few good crosses aint gonna change that. You made up your mind on what? Not even 180 minutes of game time?

 

[VultureSheva]

Pioli: "Leao is becoming more decisive. Ibra is far from the best condition. I don't think Castillejo will be available next game"

Yeah, this is all on point.

 

[IL-Capitano]

Yeah, this is all on point.

All the club requires now is decisive planning in terms of buying and developing players and re- establishing the club brand. More importantly giving it time! and not overreacting if it isn't an immediate success by replacing everyone in management.

Hopefully Rangnick will live up to his reputation and perhaps Maldini will remain in some compacity, I would ideally like Rangnick to push gazidiz out in time because I really don't like the guy.

Anyway we definitely need new direction, clear direction and the patience to see it through. The current position of the club was on the cards for a long time and previous ownership and management chose to deny it was happening.

All we can do is hope for better times ahead.

2-2 vs Spal yet I'm certain there are people that would keep Pioli

Naturally keeping Pioli would be a capital mistake.

I'd love to see us qualify for European football, even if it's just EL but honestly, I expect nothing under these circumstances.

Whatever happens Pioli is gone once the season ends. I hope we can get a few wins from the remaining games. Yes even EL would be welcome to give some of our players experience of some kind. It could pay dividends should they be playing CL football with Milan in the future. There are points to be won and they need as many as they can get.

 

[joyrider]

Next game is against Lazio in 3 days. I expect to see a response.

Pioli managed the match horribly yesterday.

 

[Nevermore]

That's the point, I didn't make up my mind.
You're saying that he is shit and literally in the next sentence that 180 minutes of game time is not enough to judge

In total it is 26M, for 26M you can take 1-2 good talents if you use good scouts.

When you buy players for 7-11 mil, you can't expect that all of them will be world class talents. Some are just decent.
Some might become world class and they usually make difference.
How many players of Leipzig, Dortmund do you know?
Everyone knows stars like Sancho, but they have many other important decent players who are not stars.

 

[mato]

I'm not gonna defend Pioli, but having 42 against 4 shots, only resulting in 2-2 draw, is hardly only coaches fault. I mean, we had more than enough chances, but if you can't finish...

 

[MilanBG]

Am I the only one who thinks Alexis did fine yesterday? The guy was very active. Put in a few great crosses, did decently in defense and fought until the very end. He is actually the reason why we got the draw. That cross was put in a very dangerous area and forced a mistake. What do you expect from a kid that had 80 minutes in total before that game?

Its hakan, paqueta, who should do more

Keping pioli, rely on hakan, paqueta.
And we will miss europe again

Because the loan periode is actually over?

Proud of Pioli the man.
