The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

pioli during training session at milanello

Look at the positives, if this is an accurate depiction then there's only two more possible options. He's better than half way there!

 

[mrki]

I'm calling no way Milan spends 100mln. But around 70 would be realistic and good.

 

[ZBoban]

Sucks for Diaz. He was a good kid that always gave 100% and seems to love Milan. He's stuck in no man's land, not good enough to get any playing time at Real and yet not good enough for Milan to spend good money to keep him.

Seeing @Qaas defend Romagnoli is somehow beautiful when you know the opposite would never happen

@Qaas defending Romagnoli is ironic, because he's the closest thing to a tree that I ever saw.

Crazy we let him go and added to deforestation.

 

[Curupira]

Roma’s ‘underdog’ story exposed pretty much !

There’s people that legit believe that bullshit?

Mou got 57mil worth of strikers alone in his first season with Roma. Then got free agent reinforcements like people are asking for now.

If we spent 140m and the only “good” player I can pick out after two seasons is Roger fucking Ibañez, I’d be Pioli out

Blame Berardi the lumberjack

Like a short Paul Bunyan

 

[Alo88]

If we really have 100m to spend then management really has no excuse at all. At all.

No team in Italy can do this.

I won’t believe in all reports but 100m is MORE than enough to strengthen the squad. Need more than that? SELL SELL SELL.

There's no such thing as a budget. Not in the way media use the word. That's not how transfers and accounting works

Or let me say it this way: In a world where players don't get wages, where taxes don't exist, where for a player you always pay A) the entire fee, B) upfront and C) cash, that's the world where budgets as journalists describe them could exist and would make sense.

Does that world sound in the slightest familiar to the real world? No? Not even a little bit? Jup, that's how much sense the word budget - as commonly used by medias - make.

But last year they said 50 and wasnt our spend on incoming players around that number?

BTW - not disputing any of your explanation.

 

[Ash-ish]

If real Madrid truly want him we should activate our buy option to force them to pay the extra on top to get him back

I still cannot believe this.

 

[Shevrolet]

Still no SMS confermato. This is not what i meant when i said i want longer summers.

 

[Gennaro8]

SMS as our number 10, I'll take it

 

[Pippo]

So happy kamada is milanista

 

[Gennaro8]

Or...

 

[Kojak]

So happy kamada is milanista

Kamada is merely a financial opportunity...sign a good player who can cover multiple roles for nothing and reel the Asian sponsors in.

Going forward, I would expect him to add a minimum of 5m+ to our mercato budget every season.

 

[Hitchens]

Really hope Ceferin punishes them savagely.

 

[Tantalis]

It's a long strange trip on the SMS Express. Sit down and enjoy all the rumors and the press. There are many more rumors and ideal formations yet to see. Maybe savic will come and complete our serious calcio Xmas tree.

Yeah but keeping the yearly total spending strict closely to 50mil will allow us to spend 50mil/season.

 

[Kojak]

Good news...hopefully he scores a hat-trick and then we can sell him.

Sky: De Ketelaere to play from start in Milan's clash against Verona

Charles De Ketelaere has had a very tough first season at AC Milan, failing to find the back of the net, and only one game remains. A game in which, however, he will get the chance from start.

Having watched some of his performances I have high hopes. Great and smart player!

 

[Gennaro8]

We need a win vs Verona. I hope that Pioli knows that. San Siro was packed during the season and win is nice way to say "thank you" to the fans

[sheva]

Thank you Brahim for everything. I think as a RW or as a sub he could have been useful, but since our coach is Pioli, we would only see him as our starting CAM, meaning performing well at every 5th match, and getting bullied the rest of the time. Not gonna lie, considering the circumstances, I am happy that we will not buy him, we definitely need an upgrade at CAM. However, the fact is that his loan fee and salary was so low that with his goal against Spurs, he repaid more than we have spent on him.

I'm alway baffled by people who shit on the low earning players in the squad..
Same as Messias, guy was bought for 5 million and people are shocked he isn't a world beater (and still ahead of salad in the first team pick)

Brahim has contributed well above his paying grade

Damn leaf what went wrong today?

 

[Gennaro8]

Brahim is good player but for Sassuolo. No way that he is material for Real or Milan. Bit the starter.

He can't pass the ball at the right time. And thats the problem. He is football player and he cant pass the ball

 

[sheva]

Crazy we let him go and added to deforestation.

Deforestation & sarri training session, mamma mia planet earth

 

[BillyTheKid]

People will be so disappointed by SMS if he arrives. The guy is the definition of choker.

 

[Wild]

BTW - not disputing any of your explanation.

If they wanna continue to spend 50mil each season then the total cost of incoming players each season shouldnt excede 50mil even if the cost is spread.
So in a way we can get players that cost us 80mil this season but then next season its 20mil something close.

 

[Hitchens]

What excites me most about Brahim possibly returning to Madrid will force us to sign someone exciting in his stead.
