The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[Soldier_of_god]

Can't believe I am watching deseprate housewives with the missus. Reason why I mentioned that is cause the way we are mourning about Paolo's sacking reminds me of the drama that transpires in this soap opera lmao. Let's move on now.

 

[General]

Lol, I love how it is slowly dawning upon you guys that this new era has resulted in you being in the position of having to justify what is happening after all your comments about Maldini and your Pioli support.

This

this is what I’ve been saying

they all begged for a head. Well, here ya go

 

[tonyb]

i don’t follow all of the rumors but wasn’t there some that said Maldini wanted the arna guy

As the main striker or as third choice? As third choice, it's excellent business. Don't argue against that.

I prefer not to argue with you anyway. You've got a bad atttiude. No appreciation for who or what lead to this club being what it is. Our values.

Just look at your profile pic. Alexis acting like a scumbag. Fitting.

 

[Samaldinho]

More than likely yes but there are also times for a huge clean out

let’s just enjoy the ride

Enjoy the ride for... Marcus Thuram and Daichi Kamada.

Before Kamada became a Pioli choice people were openly threatening me that I'd have to answer for crimes against RnB if Kamada failed.

You want me to enjoy the ride for realistic transfers?

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Yes I am pretty cute in fact often get called that I am above handsome

Maldini and Massara had a meeting booked with Arnautovic yesterday but then got sacked

I would have signed Arnautovic for #3 to replace Ibra too

Also, Arnautovic scores like a lot more than Thuram still despite difference in age (last season, Thuram got 3 goals in 23 bundes games)

Like the tacos add, why not both?
Since we can't afford big money moves; we might as well find system players. Pick a system and buy accordingly.

 

[CanUNoTouch]

Thuram stars:

22/23 - 13 league goals
21/22 - 3 league goals
20/21 - 8g 7a

Now I don’t know the whole story, think he played on the wings before no?

The 3 league goal season was he was coming back off a knee injury. So it takes time to find form again

Red flag is considering anyone decent in Bundesliga gets sold fairly quickly he's leaving on a free. Kamada bit different as he is a non EU player.

Green flag is he's coming off his best goalscoring season.

 

[SuperPippo]

If it's true that Maldini was going to spend 5m on Arnautovic, 20m on Brahim and 20m on RLC (in other words almost our whole budget), I'm glad he got fired. That would have been another train wreck of a market.

 

[MilanBG]

Thuram stars:

22/23 - 13 league goals
21/22 - 3 league goals
20/21 - 8g 7a

Now I don’t know the whole story, think he played on the wings before no?

38 G/A in 5230 minutes in Bundes during the last 3 seasons. 12 G/A more in other comps in a little over 1000 minutes.
He is definitely not Lewandowski, but for free I doubt we can find a better player.

 

[tonyb]

Maldini made no glaring mistakes. None. Only with hindsight, can you question some moves. The main one being CDK. Even that could end up as great business.
Pioli made plenty. Unforgivable and ludicrous ones.

He stays and our legend goes.

I am sorry, man. I’ve been nothing but fair to you

I don’t have a bad attitude at all IMO


also, did you say Alexis is the scumbag in my profile pic?

uhhhh… are we talking about the same match that sarri was a cunt to him?

 

[killerkid]

Massara just arrived at casa Milan

 

[Hugh Janus]

What a beautiful and sunny morning!

 

[Samaldinho]

Moncada likes RLC, and wants to buy him. You can't criticize Maldini for RLC anymore.

 

[Nalim]

They put their faith in Pioli over Maldini, ownership made their choice. They are now going to be judged by it.

That 35m kid was the darling of Moncada, who is now in charge, so forgive me if I'm not exactly inclined towards giving ownership the benefit of the doubt here.

The fact of the matter is that none of us know why Maldini was sacked.
Maybe it was for his transfer dealings last summer or his shortcomings regarding contract negotiations.
Maybe it was for his comments to the press.
Maybe it was more undramatic than we think and just them parting ways due to differences in the strategy going forward.
We simply don’t know.

I’m no RedBird apologist and I don’t like seeing Maldini fired but surely that’s better than having a management that’s not on the same wavelength.

 

[MarioReality]

Hate seeing my guy Sam unfolding like this.

While I hear and feel his sentiments, I don't completely agree with your viewpoint. I get it, I just don't agree.

Listen, Gerry basically saved Maldini last year, because Elliott was going to fire him after he opened his mouth the first time. It was going to happen. Gerry gave Dini a shot, and if we won the league (or came close) and had a decent market, he probbably stays.

Instead, we finish 5th, out of CL (bar a penalty to Juve), miss massive income, miss targets because of missed CL, had a bad market AND he still runs his mouth.

Guys... It's business. Sentiment in football is dead. We were maybe the LAST big club to still hang on to sentiment. And while it was nice, and charming, it can also old you back.

We move forward, and hopefully upwards.

At least give Moncada some faith and applause - he fully deserves it. No one should be wishing for his downfall. No one.

 

[CanUNoTouch]

Then you haze zero clue on how we got out of banter.

22/23 what did Ibra apart from retire? That's right sit in the stands? Oh you talking about 21/22 season that's a long time ago.

Sergio Ramos is a crock. You definitely the type to beg for us to sign old crocked players then 6 months later turn around and complain about us signing old crocked players.

Serious teams don't sign 34-35 year old players with awful recent injury history.

He got on the mic and talked shit on red bird. Multiple times. Don’t you recall? Failure

also, results in the league were shitty and we shouldn’t have earned the CL spot… failure

the market, even outside of CDK was shitty. Failure

my man

 

[Qaas]

My first reaction was "fuck, another banter era on the way".

However I think there's no need to panic. Completely different story to last time, these owners arleast appear to be ambitious, a shit season like the one we just had is not good enough for them, and Moncada gives comfort.

My main worry now is players not being happy no more, although I think we'd be OK

Lmao what indicates that they are ambitious?

 

[Tantalis]

Positivity and negativity no longer matter

There only exists those loyal to their liege, rightful heir to the throne and the heathens who support the usurper.

 

[Pigeon]

Thuram?

so... you actually rather want arnautovic. interesting....

 

[Hitchens]

 

[General]

I give stars where they are due

Your stars are my lost coins in my RH couch

 

[VultureSheva]

Lol Maldini

 

[General]

Enjoy the ride for... Marcus Thuram and Daichi Kamada.

Before Kamada became a Pioli choice people were openly threatening me that I'd have to answer for crimes against RnB if Kamada failed.

Transfers arent the ride

 

[Samaldinho]

so... you actually rather want arnautovic. interesting....

I hate Arna. But nice try. This whole season is on you buddy, enjoy Pioli's brilliance.

I am not going to go cross eyed over fucking Marcus Thuram. I have some self respect.

 

[General]

Lol Maldini

oh man

this Mercato stress is going to be epic

 

[SuperPippo]

Moncada likes RLC, and wants to buy him. You can't criticize Maldini for RLC anymore.

Of the three I mentioned, he's the one I can put up with, although 20m is too. The other two would be ludicrous.

 

[Qaas]

I love Maldini, but looking at comments in social media his fans are kind of cult sometimes. I mean Gerry seems to be cunt but Paolo made some mistakes too, especially last summer. He's not immune to criticism.

How old are you? Thats THEE maldini we are talking about.

Where were you when grown ass milanMB was constantly sliding on his instagram DM just to get the “seen” message?

 

[King George]

Thuram's highlights don't even look good
