Tomori is one of those boring guys, like costacurta aka actually the goat cb

What a truly beautiful assist

the fact that you dont want to shag him doesn't mean he's boring, he's the least boring of our CBs and he's fun to watch

I feel calm and collected about another AM coming, and also calm about having Diaz playing many games at AM.

This team will work.

must be taking anti anxiety medication. What next, calm under nuclear bomb?

I don?t know how they?re funding all this as they aren?t even in the CL and have made zero sales so far despite sending Pau, Kluivert + Under on loan with option deals yet somehow they?re playing hardball over Florenzi. Weird club.

They aren?t in CL. Thats why they are investing, to be in CL. You invest to achieve. Money doesn?t come with no achievement.

That Tammy deal is horrendous

40m and 55m buy back

If anyone at Milan were to do that they'd be crucified

I read the buy back is 80 mil. There is v little chance they would do 40 m and 55 mil buyback. There would would huge possible downside and comparatively hardly any possible upside to that.

New Roma owner ( Friedkin ) is spending heavy! Roma also had the biggest loss last season.

Can't wait for them to buy english fodders for Mou, and go into panic sell mode at the end of the season.

It?s better then getting just 2m for developing Diaz.

But you're making a significant investment of 40m

If you guys flops you are down a serious amount

If he does well you take on all that risk for what 15? Its not worth it

Lol spending 90m in a Covid market with zero sales + zero CL income is just reckless and beyond stupid. Thank God we have Maldini in charge and not this Pinto clown because he?s a transfer wizard in comparison.

Despite spending they haven't really improved

You can?t say.

They got Mourinho and sacked the trashy coach they had.

Vina was Milan objective in January but we did not buy him because he was expensive. He is an attacking type of LB who we wanted for vice-Theo.

Reynolds is an American talent who was followed by many clubs in Europe.

Tammy scores 15 goals in 2200 minutes with Chelsea.
26 in 3400 with Aston Villa.
Has the tools to become a ?mini Lukaku? in Serie A.

I don?t know much about the Uzbeki striker.

The Roma transfers aren't necessarily the best, especially with all these cheaper transfers available from France & Belgium. But it's interesting to see how their ownership is more willing to spend.

Now if Elliott lets Maldini spend 25 mil on Vlasic and 20 mil on Ikone that would be a plus for Milan!

They lost Dzeko who was a pillar for them and Vina is just a replacement for Spinazzola. Also, a 20 year old right back coming from MLS isn't gonna make your season

imo the game has passed Mourinho by

If the new fund is willing to pay the losses what?s your problem?

They want to return to CL so they are investing.

There is nothing wrong with investing 100M in a summer to return to CL and earn 50M per year from them + new sponsors.

You think they are dumb?

If the succed they?ll earn the money back, if they don?t then it becomes risky.

Dzeko with 7 goals per season is finished. Even Giroud is better right now.

Yeah, losing Dzeko is a loss, though Mayoral was decent last season. Mourinho is also hit or miss.

Buti t's good for them that the ownership isn't being stingy like Elliott seems to be. Lets see if Elliott gives the funds for Vlasic, Adli and a good RW. But so far it's not looking that good.

Dzeko will be very good. He had problems with management of Roma last season. You know, they don't treat older players that good (ex. De Rossi). But from Lukaku to Dzeko, that is too much. Even if they get Zapata.
But I agree, I think that Giroud will be better this season. He has better mentality, winning one, and first time after many years he will be a starter in a team (or at least play most of the minutes)

Also Elliot invested more than Roma WITHOUT CL.

Piatek, Paqueta, Castillejo, Laxalt, Caldara, Duarte, Krunic, Theo, Bennacer, Leao, Saelemaekers.

Between Ollie g and ibrah I think they will get 40 goals this season if they remain fit enough. Our management got that for basically free. And we wstill question whether our management are making the correct decisions. Maldini was one of the best players of all time. It looks like he may well be one of the best directors as well.

Lol settle down…Maldini hasn?t put a foot wrong so far this mercato in terms of players signed (including transfer fees) but the litmus test for me will be the signings of AM, RW + 3rd CF. Last year, we had the 5th best attack in the league and Hakan contributed 14 goals/assists whereas Samu registered only 2 so both positions are in serious need of an upgrade. Also, Ibra scored 15 times before breaking down and given that both him and Oli G are in their late 30s we also need a capable 3rd CF to share the load. IMO how Maldini solves these three problems will determine the success of the season and whether he?s the next big thing in football Management or just hype.

They sold Piatek for 27 mil ( 6 mil loss) and Paqueta for around 22 mil (16 mil loss). They also sold Suso for 20 mil, Locatelli for 13 mil, Hauge for 12 mil, Cutrone for 20 mil, Djalo for 5 mil.

And if you look at this summer & last then the spending for 2 summers is v low. Most of the spending was in the first winter mercato where they bought Piatek and Paqueta. After that mercato the spending has been v little. And this year there is no FFP either.

Yeah he struggled last season but they're replacing him with a very risky signing

Even if Tammy succeeds its going to take him some time to adjust whereas Dzeko was reliable for them

He scored a tap-in in a league where Andre Silva looks like a superstar
