The Rumour Commode XXXIV: From Mandela to Mugabe

[IL Diavolo 3]

There's a twiiter account called sianews_ that I've been following for some time. Mostly Milan oriented. No idea where he gets the info but:
1. He declared that Lukaku will be sold while Marotta was publicly saying that he is unsellable. We all know how it ended...
2. Said that Zoe (Theo's gf) is pregnant weeks before it was confirmed.
3. Said that Nexen will be Milan's new sponsor 2 months before it was announced

Probably there are more, but I am not sure.

A few days ago this guy tweeted that merda's takeover by PIF is a matter of time. Hopefully, he is wrong, but there's a lot of talk about it again, mostly from 'insiders' in the past 3-4 days. Some even share details where are Saudis met with merda owners. Kind of reminds me of 7gold reports when reportedly Arnault was interested in buying us. I hope the outcome would be the same.

It’s a troll account

Tomori is class

The interview is even better and more classy than the image.

About Faivre, i'm going to go against the tide here and say we probably don't need him this season. We have three RWs with Saelemaekers, Messias and Florenzi. Messias especially I think most people will be very surprised at how good he will be. I don't think someone like Faivre is a priority. Knowing that Adli is coming next year as an option at AM makes that position a bit crowded too, I don't think any of Brahim, Adli, Messias or Faivre would be comfortable being fourth choice. I'd rather we wait and see how Messias does before we go for Faivre, as they seem to check slightly similar boxes.

Sometimes you just like to take the piss
How can you say we don’t need a right winger and at the same time mention saeles, florenzi and an injury prone 30 year old unknown player

I am so happy we have Tomori.

Because an upgrade on Saelemakers or Messias will cost at least 20m. Faivre might be better or he might not, but he isn’t a sure thing. I’m also worried about his mentality after twice now trying to force a move by doing some weird shit.

Messias will surprise everyone that doesn’t know him.

What kind of news is this? It's literally just one paragraph

I think this is a "politically correct" statement, saying that the "official policy" is not to "exclude" anyone. Reality may be very, very different. As much as I hate Raiola, business is business, and it is always good to leave doors open (at least "officially").

 

[Kuroha]

And bondo

Bro, I'm already move on from Bondo

Now I've got another hero




Milan scouted 19-year-old Panathinaikos star twice

 

[Swagotelli]

Maybe. Tonali surprised everyone with how good he is this season and I hope he keeps improving. I just wonder if a midfield of Bennacer and Tonali might be a little light physically, but I might be wrong. Kessie wins a lot of headers in midfield.

This too.

Florenzi needs to go back end of season. He has 4.5M buy option and 3m wages. He was good few years ago but on a downhill path at this point.

Nothing will top this:

I love the way our players conduct their interviews. I love how Pioli answers questions. I love how Maldini responds.

We don't complain--even when I would want us to--we stay above the fray. We don't negotiate in public. We don't disrespect other teams. We don't give into the media narratives, we stay away from distractions, we keep our goals to ourselves.

Who cares about Raiola? Part of playing into his game is by fueling the media fire that he's a problem, because it makes it seem like he can play games, like he can control things through his antics. By saying we have no problem with anyone, we give more confusion to those who talk about 'how we do things,' when it's really just about being professional in a business that consistently has amateurs in charge of what are, essentially, very valuable companies. Look at how Man Utd is run, and many other EPL clubs. They are run like every decision is made by putting out a Twitter poll for the fans. Milan isn't run like that, and I'm glad, proud even.

I can believe reports that we are no longer interested in Faivre, not because of his talent, skill, etc, but because of the way that he is conducting himself. I can see the management seeing that as a warning sign. Maldini mentioned that the team goes beyond just scouting players, they look up their personal lives, they talk to their families, they look at things beyond just the player--they look at the person.

' when it's really just about being professional in a business that consistently has amateurs in charge of what are, essentially, very valuable companies.

I think this was the potential that Elliott saw in Milan specifically and football in general.

I can see them moving to Alvarez as the alternative option to be the January scudetto weapon this season. He can play up front but also on the right. We have Messias coming back who would rotate with Saelemaekers to keep him fresh, and Alvarez can also play behind Ibra to rest Brahim when needed. He's a bit more expensive than Faivre but it seems like he has a much better mentality and might be a better fit.

 

[hakim]

Yeah, i can clearly see Brest giving an actual fuck.

 

[mrki]

After Emirates and with Milan in CL and top in serie a the new deal simply has to be in the hight of 25-30 mln. No way lower. Merda gets 10 mln more annualy then Milan. Jube pays to itself, Jeep is Elkdan's, thats different.

EDIT:
MN - Fiorentina with 20mln proposal for River's Alvarez. Milan close to the player.

Alvarez is, right now, a player of different dynamics. Of much higher one. Im sure he can play lw,cam,rw,cf... But who know how much can he offer in his first 6 months in Europe.

 

[Neruda]

I dont know who this Alvarez is but the whole world is talking about him

Are we actually in it?

 

[Swagotelli]

I find it suspicious that Alvarez is a “generational talent” but none of the big clubs are in for him. Madrid paid 45m for Vinicius when he was 16… others like psg, man city and Chelsea can snap up easily if he is that good and price is only 20m

25 m. And apparently he’s renewing and the clause will become 35 m

 

[Swagotelli]

25 m. And apparently he’s renewing and the clause will become 35 m

Neither is a big amount these days if this guy is really the top prospect in South America. Surely someone would be interested besides Milan and Fiorentina

Maybe he’s smart and wants to go to a club where he knows he can play?

 

[Alo88]

Those stats get even crazier when you think of our last 7+ games played with total injury crisis similar to the one that killed our Scudetto dreams last year.

We went through it again, but instead of nearly collapsing, we've played it through and won some crucial games against direct rivals. Now here we are, 1st in table, 7 points from Inter, stronger than the difficult schedule, stronger than all the injuries and all the refereeing bullshit like I've never seen it before.

I mean... If we can go through that and still be 1st in table, imagine how good we could be with some less injuries and some less scandalous BS calls from referees and some more easier games in-between.

These days 35M are way more than they used to be pre-covid bro .

Sure but that’s in the future. I doubt he is telling clubs to not scout him or be interested in him

AC Milan are facing an unusual legal battle in Germany, where the club cannot copyright its logo because it could be mistaken for a local stationery company.
The club has been attempting to copyright the logo in countries all around the world and so far there have not been any issues, other than in Germany.

The European Union Tribunal has rejected an appeal presented by the Rossoneri in June 2020, therefore confirming the logo is too similar to one already in use in Germany.

The stationery company Milan sells pens, pencils and other items for students.

The battle has been dragging on since 2017, when AC Milan applied for EUIPO intellectual property protection.

It was countered by the German company InterES Handels-und Dienstleistungs Gesellschaft mbH & Co KG, who argued their brand MILAN already sells items similar to the ones AC Milan are trying to market.

They have been using that brand name since 1984 and first registered it in 1988.

Even before covid. 35 m for unknown is a lit of money

 

[Tantalis]

I am so happy we have Tomori.

He truly seems like he enjoys being here as well. I hope he stays healthy and continues to improve. He's very likeable and often makes exciting plays. Can't imagine anyone disliking the guy currently
