Kamada and Loftus Cheek links don’t inspire a ton of confidence, but I guess you have to look at it like this:

Is Kamada an improvement over Brahim Diaz assuming we don’t buy him? @Samaldinho please give me your thoughts

Is Loftus Cheek an upgrade over Bakayoko, who he would presumably replace in the squad? I don’t know, I assume he can’t be worse given the fact Bakayoko wasn’t allowed to play more than 15 matches lol.

The Bakayoko deal is honestly one of the dumbest deals Maldini has done. What a waste of space and money.

A lot, a LOT depends on CL qualification, if we qualify for the CL we should be wanting better than Kamada, Loftus, etc.

I said earlier if we make the CL would we be better with Firmino, Kamada, Kovačić and Ziyech, then spend a large amount on midfielder...

Do I want better than these names, yea, the thing is, will we do better.

The names above don't inspire me, and are we entering another banter era without CL qualification?

MMM and Gerry have a lot of work to do, but a couple of free signings that are upgrades on our subs ain't a bad thing, as long as we spend on GOOD STARTER players.

i think I’m becoming a Julian Alvarez orphan. Dude is spectacular and we were so close to him.

Speaking of South American forwards, eBay happened to Kaio Jorge? I remember we were very close to him and then Juve swooped him. He has now disappeared from existence
Bad knee injury

Yes let's sign RLC another Chelsea benchwarmer and hope that he manages to hit the ground running in his debut season in Serie A. Have we learned NOTHING from the Baka, Origi, CDK, Adli + Vranckx transfers? Oh yes, MM are simply too cheap to invest in a top Serie A midfielder like SMS :fp:

Yeah bench warmers suck ass!!!

Lol we made a significant investment in Theo (24m) and weren't primarily interested in him because his contract was about to expire like RLC.

It makes absolutely no sense to sign another rotational player from Chelsea and expect him to make a difference.

I know we have more urgent priorities but i can't stand Calabria, i've had enough of him, he must stay for the Uefa lists but i want to see him as little as possible

First thing we need to do is sign a world class striker. I mean one of the top 10 in the world. Apparently Benzema will be a free agent so we should definitely try our best to lure him. After the CF we can think of other positions but it's a scandal that a club like AC Milan does not have a top top striker anymore.

Benzema would be perfect for the next couple seasons if we move forward with a 4231. I just don’t want that to deter us from getting a strong young CF. Or are we holding out for that 15 year old primavera kid lol

Ibra is still a top striker and on our books (if you imagine we're still living in 2003 :LOL: )

Yeah ask your parents to try again. Wesley this is not your Barca sex slave. Hammer of woke justice please.

I like Rommels posts esp when he said sell Bennacer for sms and Sam said sms is most overrated player in the league defending Ismael :lol:

Change his name to 1899 or someshit
Im all about that denazification 😏

have you people actually read maldini's interview instead of saying hurr durr dybala?

maldini said it would betray the project to get a proven player like dybala with high wages rather than develop a superstar in house like cdk for the future

yes, that blew up in his face, but the sentiment is correct

One of the things I like about in here is the passion, and that MOST of want a better Milan.

I think a few big teams will be adding amd rebuilding and we'll continue to "dumpster dive" so to speak.

What is important is that next season we're not looking back so much at missed opportunities, and we find midfielders and attackers to shut the orphan's up.

Sometimes even bench warmers aren't cheap bro... Likewise talents, Leao hasn't been a cheap investment.

We'll have to spend money, but that can be balanced with clever savings, but we just need to buy better this summer!

While I joke about SMS and Berardi, surely for the money they'd cost we can find better, and younger when we factor in the growth decree?

Why are we always pining for what could have been or what we missed. Rather than boxing clever and releasing the funds for the next Enzo or Alvarez etc?

I would like Ceballos I think he will not renew with Real Madrid. Tonali Loftus Ceballos.
Buy top CF, Fast RW or play CDK on the RW and buy a creative CM instead with great passing skills.
Buy some young talents for cheap that's why we got Moncada, and fit them little by little in our system. Sell those useless players on the bench and take some pennies from them.(Messias, Rebic, Origi, Bakayoko etc)

Look at Tonali's year 1 stats and then say it blew up in his face too. :ibralol:
Seriously y'all just impatient mother fuckers.
10 years in the doldrums and 7 years without UCL and you think that we can suddenly touch the skies in 2 seasons.
If RLC and Kamada are better players than DIaz and Bakayoko, I'm all for bringing them in.

Actually how good is Thuram? He's free, so surely the EPL will offer him big bucks?

And Okafor, how's he getting on?

Any new Alvarez's kicking about South America???

But you're absolutely, we CANNOT go I to the season with a crooked Ibra and Giroud starting.

Funny thing is, they are better players than Diaz and bakayoko

Fair enough but dumpster diving should be restricted to players who have a high probability of succeeding and making a difference. For example, Greenwood is a future top player and an outcast at Man u and is now being linked to Juve whereas Ndicka was one of the best CBs in Germany and is about to join Roma for nothing. However, RLC is a rotational player at Chelsea and very inconsistent and I don't want to spend another season or two finding out whether he's suited to Serie A like CDK, Vranckx + Adli (hell even Brahim too).

Also, it doesn't inspire confidence that we're only interested in Kamada + RLC because they're free (RLC has 1 year left) and passed up Dybala on the same basis last summer. In fact, it speaks of a confused management desperately trying to rectify their previous mistake with a vastly inferior player.
