Also those "moral" arguments against Faivre are hypocritical since the way Theo and Leao treated their original teams (Atletico and Sporting) that made them into professional players is far worse. Maldini/Massara had no problem signing them and Milan fans no problem supporting them.

Theo left Atletico before he had ever played a single minute of first-team football with them. Madrid triggered his 24m release clause, and it was Real who violated their little "non-aggression pact," it wasn't like Theo raised a stink. He did dumb shit off-the-pitch when he was younger, but he hasn't gotten into trouble since being here.

At Sporting, fans invaded the training facilities and assaulted players and staff. Why the hell would you want to stay there? They assaulted players, the coach, staff, because they missed out on a CL spot. He didn't smash his fists at Lille, they made a lot of money off of him. He's been great here.

Faivre stopped going to training, refused to go to matches because he wanted to force a move. Kessie, Donna, (redacted), none of them did shit like that. Looking at how the players reacted to (redacted) moving to Inter, it's clear that the team chemistry and sense of family they have is what is helping them do well as a team, as a unit.

I want a player like Faivre, really really bad, and I'm honestly super pissed that we don't even have an alternative to Brahim at CAM, but I'd rather have no one than someone who brings the team down. Or puts the club in a shitty spot.

Some rumours about Tommaso Berti…17 year old from Cesena. Have heard some good things about him but I mean….not that he’d come in and contribute right away.

Sometimes I thinking that Andrea Poli have more energy and does well than me when I reading merceto.

 

[milanator]

I'm actually surprised how relatively little protection from courts and institutions Leao got in the end in a case were his physical safety was at risk.

 

[CapitanoMaldini]

Kulusevski to Tottenham on a loan of 5 million with obligation for another 35

The same figures that Milan considered too high for

Longo

Think it’s only an obligation if certain conditions are met. Too rich for our blood.

3:1 we won. However Giunti is a useless bum. They played bad for most part of the game, but the subs changed the game with 2 quick goals. Players to be noted are Capone with 2 assists and several nice plays, the new kid Omoregbe, who came from Serie D and looks more mature than others. Stanga was also solid most of the game.

Omoregbe looks damn powerful and fast (1A), Capone his dribbling remind me of Insigne (2A, did he injured?), Chaka very unique player with magical dribling, but he look like too much playing and don't take the game seriously

 

[Staamdorf]

He's gambling right now, and he said it himself, when remarking about our summer transfer window, a lot of our transfers are gambles. Bakayoko is a gamble, Florenzi, Messias, Brahim, Giroud, Toure, they're all gambles.

Not a full picture.

Its not a gamble, its a model - pair young with old.

Its also been tried with Zlatan, but later Mandzukic too.

Which points to
1. Its their model so we might expect similar thinking in the future
2. Nothing was learned after Mandzukic

 

[ROSSONERI7]

Those who wanted to have a funeral for Faivre not signing, that was last summer. After it did not not happen in the summer we went for the next name on the list, Messias.
There was never plan to bring him here after it failed in the summer.
I’d even go as far as saying that money was spent on Adli.
Iirc Adli transfer happened on the very last days after it was confirmed that Faivre would not arrive thus moving to Messias

“Well since, this transfer won’t happen, let’s move to our 2nd option, available on loan(Messias)…and use that money to secure this other interesting piece we have been looking at (Adli)”

On why it didnt happen. I see some saying we were 2M short. others saying we were put off by his behavior…what I remember is Brest blocking it as a punishment for him trying to force the transfer.

Giunti still on charge?
Why?

I see this as motivated reasoning. Frame the players that Milan got in the best possible light and the one we didn't get (for financial reasons) in the worst possible way, just not to have to see management as cheap. I find it absurd because it's such a small hill to die on.

Theo left his youth club, the one that he joined at 10 years, the one that trained him to become a professional and rewarded him with his first professional contract. How did he pay them back? Signed his first professional contract under the condition of a low release clause and then used that clause not just to leave (fine), but to go to not just a DIRECT rival but their BIGGEST rival within their own city.

Leao joined Sporting at age 9 and took advantage of a crisis at the club to free himself for financial and sporting reasons, at least that is the interpretation multiple courts have come to after reviewing all the evidence in detail, which is why he has to pay 16,5m euros to Sporting for violating his contract. He was mostly just a youth player at the time and was neither a target nor even in the room when those attacks happened (criminal acts can happen anywhere btw, it's a complicated issue imo). Plenty of other players ultimately stayed loyal to Sporting (like Bruno Fernandes) and were just fine. And If he really wanted to leave (understandable to a certain degree), he still could have done it in a way to not completely fuck over Sporting. Ask for a sale and they would have found a compromise when selling him, which would have saved him from all the problems he now has.

If Milan players did this i have a hard time thinking that this fanbase wouldn't think of them as snake's just like we think of Donnarumma and Hakan as snake's, whether ultimately justified or not.

Faivre on the other hand just missed one game (funny that you imply multiple to make it seem worse) and apologized within 48 hours to the team and coach. It's really just a minor incident, a heat of the moment decision, not that big of a deal. He re-joined the team, played every game since then and is now allowed to leave in a way that Brest fans will remember him positively, just like we (including you) would despite his small missteps if he arrived in August and did as well for us as he did for them the last 5 months.

(By the way i don't care about Leao and Theo's previous behaviour just like i don't care about Faivre's, i just don't like the hypocrisy of acting like what Faivre did is some big act of disloyalty and lack of character that makes him unworthy of Milan).

Ultimately i don't think we'll agree in the end, so let's just agree to disagree because i don't really have the time and energy to have a multiple essay conversation about a player that won't play for Milan anyway.

 

[Kuroha]

25M Noa Lang is coming. Why should we care about him?

(But, isn't Noa Lang a LW? )

Missing out on Faivre for peanuts is so pathetic. He would have instantly made this team better.

Mercato stress is real right now

Look at this fuckin guy ... talking about football

Sir have you taken a look at our books?

Thanos' knife don't got shit on our accounts

 

[Kuroha]

Honest management??
So we are supposed to forget about elliot comments of bringing milan back to the top of euroean football?

This was gazidis in 2020 “If we have the opportunity to strengthen our team, we will do it. We have set priorities, but if there will be an opportunity to sign a quality player, we will do it. In the last market window we did not spend as much as we could have spent“

3 transfer windows later and still the same. They can not even afford players that are worth even 15 million despite clearly wanting said players.

3 transfer windows later...

Are they already in top 5 most profitable club?

 

[Master Smurf]

Also those "moral" arguments against Faivre are hypocritical since the way Theo and Leao treated their original teams (Atletico and Sporting) that made them into professional players is far worse. Maldini/Massara had no problem signing them and Milan fans no problem supporting them.

Faivre wasn't signed because there was 3-4mln difference between our offer and demand. Elliot probably said no to increasing the offer and that was that. Same with Thiaw and other players that fail to arrive because of a couple of millions, ultimately Elliot has the last word on every financial decision, not Maldini/Massara and they have a conservative approach.

We agreed for Tonali - then went back to Genoa and said nope we will pay less
Tonali said - you all better agree because I only want to stay in Milan. He didnt even report to Genoa's training camp while the re-negotiation was still happening.

People in here were swooning.
