Are we sure that Baldanzi will score more than 7 goals and 6 assists next year? He is 20 years old but he'll cost around 15 20 million just like Diaz
Diaz is 3 years younger and plays for a team who very recently won the Scudetto and reached the CL semis whereas Empoli finished 14th so it's an unfair comparison.

Also, I don't think he'd cost more than 10-15m.

A fellow Milanese :-) Used to live in Zona Tortona (before it became fashionable). I moved to the US ages ago, but I still have family there (my brother) and (until recently) I used to manage an engineering group (the office was near the Ippodromo, and I used to stay at the B&B across from San Siro). Last time I was in Milano was about a year ago (work + vacation with part of my family).
Lavoravo in via Tortona ma era già fashion :lol: maledivo il fuori salone diventava invivibile

Yeah. Some commoders seem to focus on our (many) problems and ignore the serious progress we made in the last few years (barely qualifying for EL and getting embarrassed in EL groups to a scudetto + CL semis). Do MMM have a perfect record? Of course not. However, not recognizing what they accomplished shows limited awareness (or some strange agenda).

Bro, I actually think the new kit looks dope.
And can only get better when it's on the field worn by Openda, Kamada, Fofana, and *Zhegrova (for the sake of 'a', because I actually want Diaby/Chukwueze)

I'm worried because he is short and because i've seen him against us and against Inter and he barely touched the ball, we don't know what we are going to get, specially in the first season, i think we needed a more reliable player but what do i know?

I dislike the shirt even more after seeing the backside. It's just way way too much red for my taste and I don't think the shirt will look like it has red and black stripes from afar.

and regarding being disposed.

krunic: 0.56 per 90'
SMS: 1.98 per 90' (1% percentile)

i remember little brahim bullying him off the ball

Whenever I've seen him on the pitch he seems like slow and lazy (nonchalant?). Didn't understand the hype really (esp because of his price)

He could have gone to the premier league and gotten more money.

Instead he stayed with us, signed for €5m per year + 2m bonuses which is decent but still less than he deserves considering worse players earn considerably more than him in the premier league

He loves Milan, the family ❤️

Idolo!

It’s a great day to be a Milan fan.

Forza Milan per Sempre 🔴⚫

What’s this new surfer thing we got going on

This isn’t AC Malibou
The surfing thing has become Leao's trademark.

He's building a brand. Just like CR7's "Siu" and all that. The club is obviously a big part of that. I imagine being in Milan helped nudge him to be selected in the adidas x Prada collaboration.

When it comes to fashion and marketing, Milan is still the major hub along with Paris, London, New York, and Tokyo.

I also think Leao gets to make Milan his team, the face of the revival of a giant. Real has Vini, PSG has Mbappe, City has Haaland, Man Utd has Rashford, and Milan has Leao.

Proper black stripes definitely look more nice and classy than these fuzzy stripes.

Yeah I need official reports for this. It’s likely, I’m aware of that cause I also doubt he’s extend for 5m if we didn’t pay it but I’d like confirmation/reliable sources

Lol he's the same height as Dybala who had 25 goal contributions this season and I actually thought he played very well against us. Anyway, it looks like we're going to sign Kamada so he wouldn't be alone plus it's impossible for him to be any worse than CDK. We need to be brave and make these type of signings NOW or risk crying later.

I love our classic stripes ofc, but this new home kit is absolutely stunning.

Hope Leao takes #7

I’m trying to get myself to like it but it’s just… way too red and not very Milan

Transfermarkt has Baldanzi at 1.70 and Dybala at 1.77 but anyway what worries me is that i feel that we are so close to win again the Scudetto, i don't want to lose itbecause we fucked up another mercato with youngsters who are yet to be tested at a certain level

Maldini and Co are doing some amazing work with a limited budget. I might not agree with Pioli's tactics but given the shoestring budget we are working with, it's easy to forget we were once dealing with the likes of Taiwo...

Feels like we are starting to feel like a properly run club again. It's been a while.
Let's hold our horses until they start spending...after all, we blew 40m+ on the likes of CDK + Messias last summer and handed Origi a lucrative contract. Still, getting Sportiello + Kamada for free is great business.

I know Baldanzi is your guy, but Dybala could always pass, even when he was young at Palermo.

That's the thing that really gives me pause on Baldanzi. The kid doesn't show the inclination towards passing. I feel like passing (in our attack) is our biggest weakness. Obviously, Adli is the answer to that, but... if Baldanzi becomes prime Dybala, sure, let's go, but... he doesn't look like a pass first kid.

Pafundi has better passing quality in him, out of the two young Italian talents.

I would love for a Milan fan to come here and become our Dybala, before he fizzled out. I just feel like he enables Pioli's worst dribble-and-pray soloist "tactics."

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
He is so similar to Brahim, it is weird to me that someone can bemoan Brahim and want him instead.

Baldanzi would probably go through the same growing pains. The only way Baldanzi avoids that is if he makes passing his obsession. He's a dribbler and a shooter. I think he has less dribbling skill than Brahim at his age, but a stronger shot. Neither have shown passing as central aspects of their game.

Hazard was a strong, fast, direct player, who yes, did dribble, but the guy also could pass--even when he was young.

This new generation of players are insanely skilled... in 5-a-side skills, yet lack such basic fundamentals in passing, marking, and finishing. It's wild to me.
Kamada and Adli (if he is not loaned) as AM could work very well given the chance. CDK insists he is an AM or F9 perhaps he will prove effective and prove us all wrong. I still think he could work best at free RW/F9.

Baldanzi I don’t know well enough from what I have seen he seems to be able to make quick and decisive decisions. So I’m not certain options are always good. What will be funny is when Diaz returns to Madrid to play RW and not AM.

I can see Milan looking at various options in key roles. I’m just happy Milan have extended Leao and hope they keep the core strength of the team and build around it make Milan’s attack more dynamic and less predictable.

Forza Milan ⭐⭐❤️🖤🏆
