The Rumour Commode XXXIX: A Cardinal Sin

[Pingu]

So Conte could be out 2 months, if we weren't in a such ugly form it would have been a good thing, but I guess at least we won't get trashed... Or we will!

At least it'll be fair, neither teams will have a coach.

 

[Casualista]

I just want to say for the record.. although I might not be as eloquent as yungeddy but i completely share his sentiments about Italian talent.

They are more useful making shoes at a Chinese factory than actually playing football. And much like the Taliban chasing their own masters , the Primavera is just a bunch of future snakes being trained in our backyard.

That's right. I said it. Milan Primavera = Taliban.

Hi all,

First time poster, but long time lurker (probably since 2009 or so). I feel compelled to post and express my thoughts following the January disaster.

We've played like crap since the beginning of the season really. We were staying afloat, but it seemed clear that eventually we were going to hit a wall. We desperately needed reinforcements. Seeing Kessie rot on the bench at Barca when he could be a wall in our midfield yet again has been really disappointing. To fill this gap, I would have expected Pioli to modify the tactics to play a 3 man mid much earlier in the season. This should have been tested in pre-season frequently at the very least. I've also noticed we haven't even tried to play a 3rd mid in the cam role almost at all this year. Playing Krunic or Kessie there last year was very effective and allowed us to grind out results. It allowed us to essentially have a 3 man mid defensively, but also a mid higher up the pitch who could provide needed pressing. We don't have this at all when playing with Brahim or even CDK at CAM. It's crucial especially when playing with Giroud who can't provide the pressing energy of Rebic, for example, up top.

Just to throw out some more opinions of mine:

Dest has been a complete disaster and one of my least favourite Milan players in years. I never want to see him wear our shirt again. I would have liked to see Kalulu shifted back to RB in some games with Thiaw partnering Tomori.

Back-up LB has also been a disaster with FBT being pretty much unplayable. Putting it all on Theo is too much.

I agree that RW is a paramount need, but I also think that what Salad provides when he's on form gives us balance and is manageable. Too bad he's pretty much forgotten how to play the past year or so.

I also fully believe in CDK. He needs both time and playing time. I see the flashes like we saw with Tonali (albeit different) in their first disaster seasons. Not willing to comment on his subpar performances until half way into next season.

Back to the crisis: I strongly disagree with the Maldini haters. For me, it's all on ownership and Pioli. Maldini clearly has nothing to work with. Yes, he's made some mistakes, but all directors do. He got us to a Scudetto and he's still new to the job. Ownership silence has been disgusting, and I hope the pressure piles on when they realize some investment is necessary. They seem rigid, and they must understand that sometimes intervention is necessary even when you're following a specific growth system.

I want Pioli gone (his decisions tactically and team sheet wise this year have been baffling). But, I also don't think it would do anything at this point in the season. For me, he should get a bit more time this season. Bringing someone new now wouldn't help our chances at Inter next game in my opinion. Assuming he recovers soon, he should still be gone at the end of the season. Now is the time in our project to bring in a manager who can take us even higher (not sure who that is yet). Perhaps Gallardo, previously from River? I've watched a decent amount of South American football, and his team set ups were very impressive.

I hope to contribute more in the future, Forza Milan!

Oh look another patient

I love Maldini but his inability to sell players frustrates me. Donnaruma/Kessie/Romagnoli/Hakan had no business going off for free. And now probably Leao won’t extend? What are you waiting for? Sell him off..

This to me is Maldini/Massara’s biggest flaw. Their inability to sell players. It’s costing us big time. Because if we managed to sell, we could have so much more funds. Also the negotiations take way too fucking long. It shouldn’t always be the case.

Inability to sell —> no money —> buy fodders —> fodders fodder it up —> try to sell —> inability to sell —> buy fodders

We are stuck in this downward spiral, and you’re right the core reason is the inability to sell

 

[MilanBG]

i mean, that's logical...

Yeah, like a person who can't earn enough money to make a living but is still going to the casino every week

I already revealed myself
People know everything about me...where i live how i look why i look like that..even how my beautiful model wife looks like...everything...kojak looks at himnself and sees a old midget body and says to himself...fuck i would get folded in half...guess il call the escortservice again to forget the pain so she can jerk my patethic shrimpeled old dick off...get a good 10 second of stimulation off

Its actually poor 65 year old kojak hiding behind his internet avatar insulting mothers and being absolutely clueless about football so dont speak about IRL
Go away u disgusting maggot dont speak to me and lets end this dialogue....i did my job as a rat exterminator...

#Kojak

Bahahahaha he calls himself a rat exterminator but a quick trip to the 'post your pic' thread reveals a fugly rat-faced turd and his rodent queen. Oh the irony!



Honestly speaking, after looking at your pics and reading what you write, I genuinely feel SORRY for you and hope that you get the help you so desperately need. Best of luck idiot

 

[Hugh Janus]

Freddy is spot on about the italian 'talents'.

We should strive to have as little italians in our squad as possible.

Having Tonali (mid player) as the only italian in the team should be the goal.

If Maldini and Guintoli didn’t assemble their squads, then who did? The only player from the pre-Maldini era is Calabria.

Agree on the ‘worst squad in decades’ I was exaggerating there.

Bad bets happen all the time, it’s part of the risky strategy we’re taking. Overall we’ve made way more good bets than bad. People are coming up with Bakayoko, Kerkez, etc as bad bets as if they negate the bets on Theo, Leao, Kalulu, Tonali, Tomori, etc etc.

Difference is most of his 'good bets' came in his early years.

Since then majority if his bets hasnt panned out.

Its funny how folks have this notion that we are so far worse off because of one summer window. The process had actually started earlier in the previous year. But apparently you cant say that because we won the Scudetto.

The funny thing is we didnt even need a $100m mercato. All we needed to do was fill in two holes in the starting eleven every season. And if you decide to let starters go, replace them with equal or better quality.

But what we did was just basically push the problem down the line. Meanwhile the holes just kept increasing in number every season.

Ergo, we eventually reached critical mass - this season.

Theres only so far you can go when you keep ignoring the glaring issues.

But yet, the notion of wanting Maldini out is ludicrous. Man bleeds Milan.

But can we stop acting like as if he is some sort of genius when it comes to transfers?

Also, I want to know why we bought all these young guys when we are coached by a notoriously risk averse coach (who barely plays youngsters unless he is forced to).

Lol why would I be stupid enough to post personal details on an internet forum full of strangers who I'll never meet and mentally ill freaks like you?

Also, I don't like to brag but I will say a few details about my personal life once and for all.

I'm nowhere near 50. In fact, if you divided that number by two you'd probably be closer to my real age. Yes idiot, I'm probably younger than you.
I retired permanently a looooooong time ago and never have to work again hence why I spam this forum 24/7 and watch the Primavera
I'm not going to say where I live, however, it's one of the most popular and wealthiest cities in the world where I get invited to many private parties, functions, nightclubs etc full of REAL models by other high rollers. The reason I'm telling you this is because that rodent who you call a 'model' wouldn't even make it past the front door and that's just a fact.

Now fuck off PEASANT

 

[Alo88]

Coping strategy of the day:

Would you take 80-90M for Leao (given he's in his last year of contract) and get a loan + option for 40-50M for Saint-Maxime (maybe even making up for possibly missing out on CL money)?

 

[Samaldinho]

Giuntoli is carrying business as usual for Napoli. You don't hear their fans making excuses for letting guys like K2, Fabian Ruiz walk.

We want to applaud Maldini for showing ambition (we are not a selling club), then we need to be realistic about what that's going to cost us, namely in this case Kessie being allowed to walk for free.

We've had 2 key players we didn't make replacement for, in the name of being disciplined and that we are not a selling club. Not replacing those players contribute to where we are at today.

So no, maldino didn't build the squad the same way Giuntoli build his

Come on man...would you really say no to Barella, Chiesa, Bastoni or even Immobile with the shit we've got starting for us now? Also, Scalvini looks like a legit talent.

It was nice of you to take your sister out for dinner in that one picture. Is it just me or is every poster that posts a picture a super alpha handsome AC Milan fan? FIF Post a Picture thread must be like the NSFL Shrek compilation of ugly pictures.

I thought general who bribed me for 200 was patethic but u make him look like an elite human

 

[Samaldinho]

No no let that pain make them stronger Milan fans

Can't know happiness without sadness

I'm probably underestimating their resilience because I'm using my bitch-ass as a parallel at their age: I was watching Milan murdering everyone.

They're way cooler kids than I am.

 

[milanator]

If pobega starts a derby, Maldini's number should be unretired

Tonali will take one of the lateral CM positions in a mid 3 and for the other one Pobega is the best option as long as Bennacer is injured and Krunic is not fully fit.
Pobega is playing well in a b2b role and more competent as a b2b CM than many other players are in their positions.

 

[MilanBG]

Pogba injured again He's been at juventus for over 6 months and still doesn't have a single minute on the field Some people here were actually jealous of this move

[Omer]

Doesn’t Zaniolo have huge xStats like xG and s

tuff? He just doesn’t perform in reality. Football just isn’t as linear a game as baseball, I wouldn‘t be surprised if Zaniolo pops up in sone statistical program.
Hauge for example was also bought based of statistics, and value wise was a good deal but isn‘t s great player.
That‘s also why I don‘t want us to go full Moncada. Moncada is an asset but it‘s good to have a SD or chief scout with a different perspective and not be fully Moncada dependent. Doesn‘t mean that there are no upgrades to Massara though.

Monacada looks at many things besides stats. He goes and watches the players in person and also sends the scouts under him. Apparently he went to Argentina to watch Enzo `F. Also part of the data analysis of players is assigning transfer values.

Hauge was bought for 4-5 mil and sold for around 12-14 mil. So far the price it was a good transfer. Moncada could recommend a player for 5 mil but not the same player if he is going for 20 mil. The same for Saladmaker, for the price paid he was a decent transfer.

Modern data analysis tools look at many things including how a player's characteristics align with the playing style of the team.

 

[Curupira]

I already gave my thoughts on the whole maldino vs. Giuntoli debate.

Even if we don't make the CL, I am excited to see how maldino will adjust.

Would you take 80-90M for Leao (given he's in his last year of contract) and get a loan + option for 40-50M for Saint-Maxime (maybe even making up for possibly missing out on CL money)?

Lmao.

Leaos worth just halved the moment we hit Jan 31st without an extension. He is now worth 40 mil max if he goes into summer without a contract.

Can't see a team paying anything more than 40-50m for him in the summer. Big teams have shown countless times that they're willing to wait a year in such scenarios.

Regardless, if the plan is to sell for 80M this summer we should renew with a 80M clause.
