Juve can still appeal this (they have 30 days afaik)
So even if we end up in 4th spot we will be in limbo for the large part of the mercato.
Preferably Gasperini helps us out and Pioli finally gets it right in next two games. Then we are at the mercy of Pep and not FIGC.

Atalanta is 3 points from us ...
We have the h2h.
Plus if we draw against Ladri next week, they can't catch us even if we lose the last match.

If he stays I just hope it's not at the expense of an player that starts ahead of him.

I have a soft spot for Salad, he's developing, slowly and has heart. Diaz is around that level, and shouldn't cost anything more that 8-10mil, but if that 8-10mil is the difference in signing a better player it's a waste.

Diaz fools so many on here, to me he simply goes missing TOO MANY times for a top team!

He and Messias have absolutely no right to be starters next year!

Salad is a kinda a cult hero, but he should be a rotation player, not a starter against better teams...

And if Kamada came in, Diaz would be breathing on his backside, not the other way round.
I don't necessarily disagree with Diaz not being starter material. I still think he will develop further tho. Weird having such a soft spot for Saele but only venom for Diaz, the latter has shown way more. I believe both will grow, but we can't allow ourselves to not give them proper competition by players that are better.

I have a feeling we won't upgrade RW this summer either :lol: CM, Rebic replacement and CF will be so costly I'm not sure there'll be money for any RWs. On top of all the other rotations we're setting ourselves up for. And that will infuriate people and be a little frustrating, but if the new signings work as they should RW won't be as glaring. And Saele might do even better.

But we might send Messias packing and replace him with Zhegrova. Messias was an opportunity with completely empty pockets but age wise and potential wise he doesn't really fit the project at all. Gets shat on way too much tho considering his "status", wage and actual goal contributions.

I think a lot of people imagine a mercato where we buy three new clear starters. I'm not seeing it, I think we will buy players who come in as depth with the potential to become starters.

but roma is out of the top 4 ?
A top 4 team wins CL/EL - top 4 qualifies
A team outside of top 4 wins CL/EL - top 4 qualifies + this team
A team outside of top 4 wins CL and a team outside of top 4 wins EL - top 3 qualifies + these 2 teams

So best scenario is jube docked points, pioli shits the bed and gets fired for not achieving top 4, only for ceferin to deny them Europe anyway and we get UCL by default?

Yeah, I'll take that

Excited to see who they appoint as ref for our game against Juve. FIGC is obviousley trying their hardest not to punish Juve. 10p - and ref of their choice against Milan might be the verdict.nedladdning.jpg

We need Juve to drop points against either Empoli, us or Udinese. If that happens, we only need to best Verona. And that's assuming Uefa don't ban them anyway, which I think they will.

4 points and a better H2H vs Juve seals the deal (Don’t lose by more than 1 goal to Juve)

Can't argue.

I'm always hopeful, where there's hope and possibilities... We can still finish top 4 without the points deduction, we should absolutely try win our next games regardless.

At times there's been no urgency or determination in our play.

We know what we have to do, so do it!

Forza Milan
Agreed. We need to finish the season strong regardless of UCL qualifications. Focus on what we can and ignore whatever out of our control. Concentration is key.

Also, we look so pathetic trying to scrape our way into the top four by virtue of a points pentalty. It's making me annoyed thinking about it. I really want Pioli out.

If Empoli wins tonight, then all you need over the weekend is a draw vs Juve and Inter to beat Atalanta and top 4 is set. Not going to happen though.

Wait until Ladri's game against Empoli is done first.
