The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

[killerkid]

Our great captain Calabria (who was made captain by Maldini) didn't say a word publicly. Unlike Theo, Mike, Rafa, Benna, Sandro... and everyone in whole Italian calcio.

That's how important "captain" Calabria is. He can go thank God 10 times a day he's at Milan coz God only knows why!!

Calabria is crap player anyway as a human being is no different

Are you serious. Yes Yoann looked like he could be a next big thing (maybe even close to Zidane level) but even at his peak he was not a top team player. Don't forget he finished his career in Dion being 30 years old. And don't forget that he was competing with Kaka!!!!

Don’t forget that I was talking about a contemporaneous period of time when he was 23 years old and well before his career went into decline.

Ciprian Tatarusanu, Brahim Diaz, Aster Vranckx, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Sergino Dest have already said goodbye to the squad, because their contracts or their loan deals expire at the end of the month. The total salary quota has already been reduced by over €12m net, therefore.

Next Rebic and Origi will reduce it by a lot

This forum went ballistic when Yoann Gourcuff led Bordeaux to a league title after we let him go.

Then Maldini came out in the press and absolutely whipped him and everybody went quiet

Hopefully we don’t make the same mistake with Yacine Adli - who has some very similar qualities.

I’m all for a dry loan to a competitive club where he will get minutes.

Adli is far more humble and liked by his teammates Gourcuff wasn't. Also helps that Adli grew up in a big club so he understands the nuances of that kind of environment.

“Italy Legend Paolo Maldini Lambasts Yoann Gourcuff’s Attitude While With Milan

Yoann Gourcuff failed with Milan simply because he didn't apply himself, Paolo Maldini has explained.

Former Milan star Paolo Maldini has launched a scathing critique of why Yoann Gourcuff’s move to Italy failed, citing a poor attitude on the young Frenchman’s part.

Gourcuff moved to the Rossoneri from Stade Rennais in 2006 but lasted only a couple of seasons in Italy before retreating to Girondins de Bordeaux first on loan and then on a permanent basis. Now with Olympique Lyonnais, the 24-year-old is in the midst of a difficult campaign and he will face further questions after Maldini’s assessment of his time in Serie A.

“Gourcuff in Milan was wrong 100 per cent,” he revealed to L’Equipe. “His problem here was his behaviour. He did not show an intelligent way to manage himself. When he played here, he did not want to make himself available to the squad.

“He did not start studying Italian immediately. He did not work. He was not always on time. It happened a lot. [There are] things he cannot tell. But he knows what he did.”

Even on the park, Maldini was not impressed. “When he came into the game, he did not give himself fully,” the former defender stated. “Less talented players have earned the respect of Milan because they gave everything. Him, he did not. And he knows it. After a while he became foreign to the group.”

Gourcuff won't feature in Lyon's weekend encounter with Paris Saint-Germain, ruled out of the match due to an injury sustained against Schalke on Wednesday.”

Dude was shit had one good season with Bordeaux and thats it. Fuck him

 

[Alo88]

I know all of this bro

I know you know. I'm just trying to have a little bit of fun and lift the mood in here a bit

 

[Swagotelli]

Poor Tata didn’t get a farewell. He is not a good keeper but can’t deny he played a crucial role in scudetto win last year

 

[Neruda2.0]

Since we are on this logic

Pioli didn’t win the scudetto. Leao, Mike and Kessie did

Also Pep never won a CL , messi and iniesta did

 

[Tantalis]

Didn’t Rebic get diagnosed as having some sort of Hypochondria?

Extremely low chance that we receive a transfer fee for him. It’s a loan out with an option to buy at best.

I believe it was a dire case of sinistropede duplici

 

[Samaldinho]

What has Moncada done to you?

Raised my expectations, obviously.

When Mark Jackson was fired, and Steve Kerr, who had never coached before, was given his job it was a controversial appointment. If Kerr didn't win, the choice would have been shit on constantly.

I've been told Moncada is the true genius to our rebuild and if he was listened to we would have Enzo, Muani, and Kvara.

So like Jackson to Kerr, I expect a massive leap. If he doesn't succeed immediately, I will question the decision, rightfully.

Oh, and of course, I'm going to be an asshole about it.

 

[Swagotelli]

If people want players from Austrian Bundesfodder, Benjamin Sesko is much better than Okafor

 

[pat_m_9]

Really there was a GDS story out a few months ago reporting that he kept telling our medical staff that he was injured - but they couldn’t find anything wrong with him.

Sounds a lot like chronic unwillingness to play. Though it's possible, fitness is impossible to attain if constantly held back by lingering injuries

Yeah sure, Yoann didn't have a good attitude. Adli seems the opposite. He gets along well with all the teammates and was ready for any sub appearance in all the games. Btw, does anyone know why the fuck Piolo subbed in Mirante instead of Adli in the last game? Mirante is even staying next season so it wasn't a farewell. It seem really messed of Pioli to do that.

 

[Samaldinho]

I can't stand you suddenly being in the driver's seat of the Negative Forces.

You have turned to the dark side as if Cardinale had carried out "Order 66".

Pioli introduced Mirante! And kept Tata without deserved last game. Bald fuck.

So who were the Phil Jackson and Gregg Popovich in Moncada’s long apprenticeship??

(pulling your leg - I’m totally for the appointment, but it’s very different to Jackson/Kerr).

It is pretty simple. It was to get him a first official start with Milan. Clear sign he is leaving no matter of the voices..

Actually, on second thought, I'm leading the rebellion against the evil empire so really... if you think about it...

 

[mrki]

My apologies I was wrong!

Still claim Calabria is rubbish player!

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

Thanks to Elkey, look at this report from May!

Maldini wanted Thuram. Wow. Thanks Moncada. Without you, we wouldn't have ever heard of... Thuram. Or Ndicka. Or Kamada.

I bet Moncada wanted Muani, but then Maldini said "NO!" Maldini then slapped him in the face and spit on him, and said "I trust in Origi, tell the cheaper, younger, better player... I spit on him. And you know what else, Moncada? I never want to bet on an underrated player from Ligue 1. Excuse me while I go buy Yacine Adli."

I wonder if Moncada did a video analysis of Messi, another under-the-radar free agent RW.

So glad we got Moncada to unearth these free agent gems that haven't been written by every asshole on their teams transfer wish list for every team in Europe.

I hear you bro, but let's see what happens.

Save some energy buddy. You're fighting that good fight but it's good to know when the other side aren't listening or willing to understand an alternative view.

I'm still angry at how things transpired, it's absolute BS... But now is the time to see what this new management team do.

It's apparently the team Gerry wants, so it'll really show Gerry's intentions and give us a little sneak peek into his vision.

I hope I'm pleasantly surprised, the free signings don't excite me. They're good squad names.... But I'm looking for some fucking rabbits out the hat from Moncada!!!

Let's see how things pan out these coming days and months.

Lines have most definitely been drawn, and the 2 camps will go back and forth... Let's step back and not perpetuate a pointless back and forth.

But I'm with you and your reasoning bro... and Fuck Gerry!!!

Forza Maldini! Forza Milan!

Peace y'all x

 

[killerkid]

Thuram is nothing special,but he is free replace Origi with him,but if Psg really want him he is gone

 

[Bird]

We need a prick on this team if you ask me

We're doing just fine in that department.

 

[Omer]

Leipzig already bought him last year for 22-25 mil. They left him in Salzburg for the year.

 

[nefremo]

So many factions forming in the commode right now! Crazy shit. Haha
Hard to keep up. One post agrees with Gerry, another does, but doesn't. Then we have people shitting on Pioli, others call him Padre the Great! Pirlo? No Pirlo! Maldini was right, but he was wrong. Moncada is god's given gift to football scouting, but he is also a shithead! Even Baresi is being called out as a non-captain!!!!

Fucking madness!!!

Edit: Some dude on the next page even asked Ancelloti to suck his cock (apparently 6.8 inches) for defending Maldini!!! Haha

Last summer Maldini talked to his agent about Sesko

Due to his penalty save Tata will forever eat and drink for free in the red and black side of the town.
