Maldini and Massara look really stupid now for how they handled CF. Is Ibra even going to play this season? :lol:

No chadli ?

:ibralol:

am so happy Maldini focused on depth during the summer than quality.

But this squad feels more and more wide than deep.

Did Maldini turn this squad into a chode? :head:

Why is Ibra out of the CL squad if the guy is going to be available this month? What an absolute joke. Zlatan walking for 2 mins will have a much better impact than any of the fodder in his place like Ballo Toure etc.

Fuck off Pioli, Ibra deserves his last dance in CL before retiring this season. He gave you a career. Even as a late sub and playing for 5 fucking mins. It’ll still be more impactful than having someone useless like Ballo Toure and honestly is Thiaw even going to be used in CL? I’m pissed.

I really hope Pioli explains this properly. If Ibra didn’t recover well and isn’t available then fair I’ll get it. But if he’s becoming available this month and he still didn’t enter the CL list then I’m obviously going to be extremely angry.

Please don't cry for Ibra
The last time Ibra could play he lasted like 10mins at a time and promptly got hurt afterwards.

Him returning to play this season and being effective is the longest of longshots given his age and past injuries of the same type.

For years, we have been asking to sign Haaland before he became Haaland, sign Mbappe when he was still a kid playing in the streets of Paris, etc.

I think Lazetic could be that guy. We spent 5m for a complete unknown from Serbia. His analytics must be off the charts. He seems to have a good head about him.

Forget all the negativity for a second. Imagine this. A world in which we have a EASTERN EUROPEAN BOMBER who we picked up from obscurity and grew into a world class forward. CF problem solved for the next 15 years. YouTube videos coming out praising our scouting.

How awesome would that be?

I prefered it to be to another Serie A team since he's already a foreigner who needs to adapt to Serie A. But I guess better that than nothing.
I’m very excited about him playing under Klose. To me he’s up there with Pippo in terms of being a natural born #9. And the Austrian league is a couple notches below ours. I think it’s a smash spot for him

Is the premier league and their spending power a problem that needs fixing or is it up to our league and the other big leagues to get better?

Wonder where the game is in 5 years time.

Pioli wants to get fired and get his retirement paycheck, there’s no other truth

Ive had the same thoughts as you regarding lazetic
Give him minutes or send him on loan..he’s a better prospect than Lorenzo Colombo

Florenzi is there cause of italian lists. You take out Florenzi means you need to take out one more foreigner.

The only way to get Vranckx/Adli in is if you take out one of the non Italian players..

AC Milan Directors Want Mika Godts on the Team​


Genk, Belgian talent Mika Godts moves to Ajax​


I'm starting to worry about Maldini's image on media.

I have hope Piolito will get fired after the derby so that will boost our chances Vs Tottenham. I mean I need to have some tiny bit of hope, right?

Rafa Leao doesn’t have a contract with any boot manufacturer. Another clue that the guy doesn’t want to suddenly increase his earnings before resolving the issue with Sporting.

He’s been alternating wearing Nike and adidas.

I am curious where he will go next. I don't even get why Barca went for him, especially considering how little he plays.

Nah I think Barcelona were smart to get him. He was for free. Freeze him for 6-12 months and then sell for profit to clear their books. If this happens, it means they used Kessie as a pawn and he stupidly felt for it

I love the transformation of Romagnoli from possibly the most mocked defender we had, into this imperious defensive stalwart lol.
Piolito was the culprit all along

I agree with this strategy. The best way to not pay fines, taxes, alimony, childcare etc is to be unemployed.

In fact, he is ignoring our contract extension because he can't wait to be another demographic static.

Because fuck sporting thats why.

Not sure when the last appeal is set but once that’s done the rate at which he’s supposed to pay back Sporting will be set, based on his current earnings. Sure it doesn’t make sense to delay his renewal and big sponsorship contracts if that’s a long way a way or if it’s not clear, but who knows maybe they’re expecting a resolution soon. But it is unusual for a star like him to not have a sponsorship deal at this moment. Or for him to renew his contract with us if everything else is agreed.

The optimistic take is that once the sporting issue is resolved he can suddenly sign his deals and increase his earnings and not worry that sporting is eating away at it. He will end up paying the same in the end, but how much up front and for how long makes a big difference overall.

Milan, listen to MFO CEO Villani: 'We guaranteed 300-400 million euros to strengthen the team on the transfer market'​


The Milan prosecutor's office investigates the sale of AC Milan by Elliott to RedBird. In the papers there is also the reconstruction of the negotiation that began in November 2021 and fell through in May 2022 with the Arab fund Investcorp (based in Bahrain) together with the investment platform MFO Multi Family Office Equity Partners (based in New York and present among investors of the Saudi royal family, with Saudi Crown MFO). The buyers invested the same amount (1.2 billion euros) in cash without any loan from the seller. The Singer family preferred Gerry Cardinale, to whom they lent around 600 million euros, at an interest rate of 42 million a year.


RedBird has also left the Singer fund a substantial say in the corporate decisions of the AC Milan club, starting with the austerity line on the market.


The Italian-American financier Carmine Villani, managing director of MFO and protagonist of the first negotiation, explained to the newspaper La Repubblica on newsstands today: "I can't go into details, but I can confirm that our consortium had undertaken both to acquire all the majority shares in Milan and to guarantee the subsequent investment on the market of 300-400 million euros , to immediately bring the team back to the highest level in Europe, like its history he deserves. It was all 'equity'. If Elliott had wanted to, we would have left him minority interests."
