Ndicka choosing Roma over Milan is a generational bag fumble and doesn’t make much sense. I can only assume that he has already signed a binding agreement with them.

And Baresi is Maldinis captain. And that makes him the captain of all captains.

Just like Maldini, Baresi played for Milan his entire career. From his Primavera days in 1977 until the end of his career in 1998. He even sticked with Milan in Serie B - twice - in 1980 and 1982. He became captian in 1982, aged 22 years, but had the authority, leadership and class of a veteran already back then. Needless to talk his class on the field. Truly one of the best this sport has ever seen, both on and off the pitch. Maldini wouldn't be Maldini today if he didn't had the teacher that Baresi was to him.

For where ordinary people worship Maldini, Maldini worships Baresi. :o

No disrespect to my liege's closest of advisors but I must ask you just who was baresi's father? Was he ever capitano? Baresi was the mentor of King Paolo son of King Cesare. Like Aristotle was to King Alexander son of King Phillip II. Baresi held regency pro tempore until the heir of the kingdom; Prince Paolo, future King Paolo was ready for the throne. It's common place in an imperial family to ensure the future health of the kingdom.

The thing with Thuram is, he can't do anything really really well.

- He's not fucking fast.
- He's not an elite scorer/poacher.
- He's not an overly good creator with a fantastically passing game.
- He's not a target man.
- He has mediocre close control.

However:
- He is a good Pressing Player.
- He is tricky.

In addition, he is repeatedly said to have attitude problems.

For the sake of completeness: I have seen at least 20 games of him.

Certainly, one can add that he has not yet reached his full potential. He can still develop further and it is a much better transfer than Arnautovic.

In the worst case, Kamada, Thuram and Ndicka can be sold to the Bundesliga after one year for a combined €50 million.

Last time I check, that wasn't an achievement to be proud of.

Where is @Tantalis with that gif?

None of them won a Scudetto.

You act like prime Galliani didn't have bad transfers windows. Shit, what about the horrible late 90s period for Milan where we spent a shit ton and only won that Scudetto with Zac?

Would you have fired Galliani then?

Or do what Berlusconi did and keep him, so he could build that 2002-2007 team that was one of the greatest of all time?

So stop it.
Maldini didnt win a scudetto , Pioli did.
Maldini's job is to give tools for the coach to do his job.
If RB think they can do a better job than Maldini then lets wait & see.

I didnt want Maldini to be fired.
But i understand why they did it.

Exactly what it was giving in his YouTube compilation.
So you want us to sign him or no?

As opposed to loftus cheek? At least he knows the league well and won’t cost non EU slot. I think he is above average player and can even turn out really good based on some of his past performances

Hakan was miles better of anything Maldini brought.
People of this forum.
Above statement is about attacking midfielder position.

I meant the increase in revenue from a new stadium over the current stadium. Milan isn't making 0 from San Siro. They made 10 mil just from one CL game. So over the year they could have made 100 mil or more from the San Siro. A new stadium, I think would add another 100-120 mil to that. But I may be wrong.

Do you think it could increase by 200 mil? As in last year's revenue would be over 300 mil with a new stadium?
No chance. At best a new stadium and all the revenue from gameday will probably be in the 80-100m above what we made in San Siro. The reality is probably lower than that.

Is this even a debate ?
SD now win titles not coaches ?
How many time did you have a G vs Campos debate with trophies as a deciding factor ?

Fabrice Hawkins - Milan are strongly negotiating with Thuram, who is much closer to Milan then he is to their Cousins, Inter. PSG is still in the picture as well.
Don’t want to get my hopes up but Thuram is a perfect CF for us.

Good stop gap solutions. I don't think any of them is capable of starting for us, but our bench would look times better than what we currently have.

If we can get Thuram, Kamada and an upgrade for RW this summer + couple of prospects, without losing our key players (Theo, Leao, Mike, Tonali, and at least 2 from the trio Kalulu, Tomori and Thiaw), i am willing to believe in the new concept. Still find the way they get rid of Paolo is unacceptable and hurts Milan pride, image and core values.

In any case, now it starts making sense why Pioli never played Adlii, Vranckx and CDK. it might have been just a way of showing i do not need them and they were never my choice.

Class statement as expected from our Capitano.

Still surprised Mike wasn’t able to do the same as our other players.
