The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

I thought he was beaten and then buried alive. Maybe I am thinking a different movie.

That’s casino.

 

[Qaas]

Maybe this interview will soften you up?

THE WAY HE TALKING AND THAT FUCKING. AMERICAN ACCENT

 

[Pigeon]

Tonali was merda player till Maldini called him

...til conte decided he would rather sign vidal, if we want to stick to the truth

 

[Swagotelli]

This is a comedy and tragedy but why us. I was enjoying the disaster in Chelsea now we are one

…minus the money

[joyrider]

Ok I've spoil tagged it

Okay, may Daniele go full Spezia now.

 

[Curupira]

A girl at work went to Austin specifically to see his new comedy club, said it was an absolute dump.

America is going to hell. Big cities overrun by homeless and Indians, fat Korean waitresses prowling around.

Austin sucks balls

 

[Wild]

Tonali was merda player till Maldini called him

Tona didnt join Inter because they delayed it.
Tonali joined Milan not Maldini FC.
Anyone who wanna fuck off , pay up & fuck off.

Good, a club on his level

Seriously tho, I get what point @General is trying to bring across. This really brings me back to the winter of 2020, when Boban repeatedly went out of line because he thought he can do and say whatever he wants and promptly got sacked by Gazidis for undermining him that one time too many. That sack too caught everyone by surprise. I remember all what's been said. "Boban is a club legend! Who is Gazidis!?" "What does Elliott know about football anyway!?" "They're only here for the profit, not for success!" "Now watch us going back to banther era!"

There are some differences. Our performances looked bleak. GP already compromised our CL participation hopes. And the players we got from the mercato didn't convince yet (well, that part actually rings some bells). And while Boban was a club legend, he didn't embody Milan as Maldini does.

The point tho is – the narrative of this decision is yet to be written. Back in 2020 I found myself being one of the few defending Gazidis and his reasoning, especially after the Rangnick fiasko. But it turned out to be the best decision for all; Boban and Gazidis wouldn't get along in a million years, and the trio Maldini-Massara-Gazidis was a fantastic one that brought the club forth in a speed no one would have ever believed. Now I don't think that most who were heartbrokenly asking for Gazidis' head back then would still say it wasn't for the best of Milan to part ways with Boban.

I see similar frictions between Gerry and Maldini. We've already seen how they stalled us last season. And as much as it hurts seeing Maldini sacked after all the tremendous good he did, I can see the potential of this being the best decision for all in the longterm. Potential. No gurantee. There's no guarantee. But who knows, maybe, in a year or two, we'll say "remember that first summer of Moncada s SD after the mess around the sack of Maldini? That was fire!"

A man can hope. And my hope is that Cardinale knows what he's doing.

 

[killerkid]

...til conte decided he would rather sign vidal, if we want to stick to the truth

No
Celino said after Maldinis call the kid lost his mind and only wanted Milan

 

[voom]

 

[Wild]

Pioli could win the next 5 CLs in a row and sacking Maldini in this manner would still be wrong. The manner that was done, awful. Zero human touch or element.

Just imagine Maldini is Adli.

 

[VillaiN]

Tonali was merda player till Maldini called him

Nope.

Inter had deal in place until Conte decided he wants experience, Vidal and not young gal Tonali. Then we went all in.

 

[Master Smurf]

Jokes aside, Botman not coming came to bite us in the ass

Yes but Elliot turned off the money before we couldve gotten him and then Newcastle priced him out when we tried to purchase him.

Now onto today - the targets seem the same so far so is it really about targets or the amount they are willing to spend.
Also, will these international targets be in the same vein of one Devis Vasquez

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

Anyone laughing right now are the type of people that don't really have a true opinion.
No matter the case, they'll just go against the majority because that way, they can achievement some form of credit or guru status if the end result is miraculously successful.

They enjoy being wind up merchants too and probably don't get any joy from the actual sport and success of the club.
Rather they just love the fact that this commode is getting a page every minute. They live for this.

It's really showing people's true colours...

I'd genuinely like to know the age demographic for a lot of opinions on here.

I posted that picture as It's really an apt depiction of here today... It's not fucking nice at all.

Let's see what the next 48hrs hold in store...

[Curupira]

Indeed. But we have a lot business geniuses on this forum that think you can strip a club of good players without the club value tanking. So, great, gain 300m selling players, lose 600m in team value. I am sure that is Jerry's strategy. He is in business for ... losing money?

Mostly just patosheva

Someone who hyped Bakaye Traore as the next Vieira

 

[killerkid]

Nope.

Inter had deal in place until Conte decided he wants experience, Vidal and not young gal

Tonali. Then we went all in.
I could have sold him for three times as much to Barcelona, then to Inter. But it was right to give him to Maldini, who did well”

Cellino: “Tonali is a Milan fan and he’s in love, when Milan showed their intention Sandro didn’t think of anything else”​

No kayaking today @Rossonero81 . I am at the gym tho, with a thousand yard stare.

I went kayaking in Switzerland during a summer holiday and absolutely loved it. Problem is that the Netherlands isn't really suited for kayaking. If I lived in Norway, I would buy one of those fantastic high-end inflatable kayaks.

I have a thousand yard stare as well by the way.

Yes Inter pulled out after Tonalli said to them go away i want Milan

 

[DeNiro]

Gonna miss seeing Maldini in the new signing pictures ...Guess it will be moncada and furlani

 

[punisher]

I'm going for a nap.
I pray I'll never wake up.

 

[Wild]

Hard firing a legend but Maldini did a bad job this year, also last year when he decided to let 4 of our players leave for free. But Pioli was even worse. How come he is still the coach ?

Because Maldini renew him then pull a bad mercto on his ass.
There is no reason to bring more chaos y firing the coach.
Next season he will be evaluated after a good mercato.

 

[Master Smurf]

Well Boban's whole point was that they were trying to make the move behind their back also Gazidis admitted that they did have some merit to their argument with regards to squad makeup. Ivan also slid more into the background and didnt say much until we won. He understood as the outsider he wasnt going to win that battle in the media.

As you say, lets see if Gerry understands and cant navigate this drastic change.

"Pioli will have more power in the market."

Lol. I can't fucking wait for this season.

Most of the time I'm quite good at anticipating things, but I will admit that I didn't see this coming in a million fucking years. More power to Pioli. What the flying fuck?
