The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[Panache]

He's for sure talented, but he can't go into a duel. He'd probably lose to Brahim in a shoulder to shoulder challenge.
A midfield in which he is protected he would excell

Him with Loftus-cheek or some other physical midfielder would be ideal. I would play him as an AM more than a CM with Tonali and RLC.

Tielemans, RLC, Tonali, Krunic, Bennacer and Kamada would be a great midfield contingent to rotate. With 2 of them joining on a free.

It has to happen first - we could very well be right where we are now with money clubs still over us.

Great books does not equal titles and people keep repeating it like it's gospel. We are not Bayern and probably will never be Bayern but at least Juve's punishment may allow us to get a few more players in the interim.

Once again for the people that can't follow - not saying having great financial stability is bad but this mythical success X years from now isn't guaranteed either.

Everything depends on results on the pitch. Chelsea is the prime example. Spend a shit ton on good players, nothing to show for it except for being in the bottom half of the EPL under the likes of Fulham (LMFAO).

Merda's investments could have just as easily blew up in their faces. In fact they still have a chance to implode right now. Lose their next 3 matches and they can boast about almost making top 4 and losing the UCL.

Then you have Ladri, who couldn't maintain their spending ways and ended up committing financial fraud just to keep pace with the likes of City, PSG, Barca and Madrid. Look where that got them.

Time will tell whether or not accounting squad are right, but I'd rather we trade short term mediocrity for long-term sustainability and dominance, over quick fixes for a season or two, only to have it all come crashing down when the loans need to be repaid.

 

[Samaldinho]

There is none.
Which lead to the reason of my quote that it is impossible to try to be healthy & elite.

Lol, so then who would you rather have as SD than Maldini, considering the work he's done here so far, with less resources than his competitors in Italy, let alone those in Europe?

Do you not realize the sort of work that is required to get us into the economic places to spend as you fantasize about?

 

[Samaldinho]

Suddenly the deadline for financial doom was... this year? Lol. It's insane how positions are caricatured, no matter how long and how much detail you write.

 

[Wild]

Yeah, I'm not going down the rabbit hole of Kerkez with you.

He's said he (and his father) wanted to move, several times. He even wanted to talk shit about Milan on his way out. What a guy.

Basically saying MM promissed them first team but instead bought DBT.
He then put a shush for people who didnt keep their word ?!
Oh no , unforgivable action.
I would get if he gave them the finger , but shush ?

I already gave my stance on both Maldini & Pioli.

I fail to recognize what your point it Sam, elaborate please. For the record, Merda's loan expires next year, not right now.

You have no proof for your claims.

If it wasn't a big deal, then why did he delete the tweet?

It's insane how you hold onto Kerkez like this insane moment of failure when he's shown Dest-like promise in the Eredivisie. Dest.

 

[Samaldinho]

I know that, but people are acting like I or anyone else gave some firm date when other clubs' finances would catch up to them. That didn't happen. We just said "oh hey this is bad, long-term." As if we didn't see the impact of short-term thinking on our own team.

 

[Panache]

People who argue against proper accounting are communists

Either that or they’re Arabs.

Its written in the report you linked.

Am not holding into Kerkez.
Just having a conversation about what went wrong.

The report didn't say that MMM promised him anything. What are you even talking about?

Agreed. Better yet, they're suffering a slow-cook death.
Even their own fan sites are saying that they can't refinance their Oaktree loans cause Zhang-boi's assets are under investigation.

Either that or they’re Arabs.

If they're Arabs, then what the fuck are they doing not making big ass donations to the Milan foundation?

"When the Hungarian left-back joined the Rossoneri a year ago, his agent made it pretty clear that they were expecting first-team minutes pretty quickly."

 

[Panache]

Running a top 4 Serie A, CL semi finalist club at a profit is a remarkable achievement.

Indeed. Thank you Padre for performing miracles on a shoestring budget.

 

[Wild]

Oh , hard pass then.

 

[Samaldinho]

"When the Hungarian left-back joined the Rossoneri a year ago, his agent made it pretty clear that they were expecting first-team minutes pretty quickly."

Yeah, that was not in the report I linked. And that's from when Kerkez was first signed.

Lol, do you not know how time works? You cited something from 2021, and I cited something from 2022, things change over time.

I really like how its all linked to MM when its good & its on Pioli when it is shit.
Like if SDs have as much credit for wining titles why we only hear about goat coaches?
Real had a monster squad & their SD didnt replace Makelele & the entire system collapsed & they had elite players all over.
Did we blame the coach for not going by or the idiot in charge of transfers ?

Yeah, no one has ever heard about that guy. Who the fuck is Florentino Perez?

 

[Ash-ish]

Kerkez bullshit again wild is insane

 

[Wild]

He gets credit based on transfers.
Also he was ridiculed for not replacing Makelele.
One player , a DM , gone and en entire system full of elite player collapsed.

 

[Wild]

I clicked on a link in your post.
I didnt read or link anything else

Lol, so what Florentino did after firing Del Bosque (big mistake) and letting Makelele go (huge mistake) doesn't make up for that?

Your head is really dry.

At the start of the year:
View attachment 19535

From expected 25M losses for the current year to 9.8M profit in the first 6 months of this season alone (not including UCL knockout prize money).

Take that non-accounting crew.

EXCELLENT NEWS. But what fanbase celebrates and drinks to this type of news lol.
Arsenal fans were the most frustrated fans in the world while being one of the BEST financially run clubs in the world.
Until this translates to exciting signings and silverware, you can’t expect fans to be happy.

Again not saying this is not good news. Just not something that excites a fan base until we see how it translates to our transfer market.

We can’t forget how we got to this level. Smart signings in summer 2019-20 and 2020-21 is what we owe our success to. But we’ve had two terrible transfer markets in a row and if MMM don’t get their act together this summer we will fall behind our competition and undo all the good we’ve done so far.

He was judged for his action which is mainly squad/staff management?
