It would be nice to have a team completed by the start of the training camp in july.

But on the other hand this forum will go insane without the rumours.

Wasn't Tielemans supposed to be an amazing player at some point? He is entering his prime and it is Roma and Galatasaray that approached him???

July 10 season starts at Milanello, July 20 we go to USA

This fucking bullshit again

Australians to win the Champions League with Milan: One

Americans to win the Champions League with Milan: ZERO

They really need to let go of the whole “growth in the US” thing.

Firstly, everybody will be turning out to support whoever we are playing.

Secondly, any football related news in that country quickly gets drowned out by their local sports.

E.G. The greatest player in football history signs for an MLS team; and that news is completely overshadowed on every major sporting news platform by Zion Williamson Kevin-De-Bruyning his four-inch around into too many pornstars.

Absolute joke.

America is where the money is.

Makes total sense that the focus is there. And it makes total sense that RB wants Pulisic (I don't, but the reasoning makes perfect sense)

Americans BUY. And they buy AUTHENTIC. They promote, they flex fandom, they're vocal. Many of their sports, namely the NBA, has a massive reach. If you make a connect w the elite players there and our brand, it's huge.

Anyways... It is what it is. America is the honey-pot that is still tappable. The rest of the worlds already bought in.

Pulisic was great for Dortmund. For a reasonable price (no more than 20 m considering his contract situation) and wage I would take him for RW, who can also cover LW when needed.

Totally agree. As much as i wish to see Milan turn into something relevant in the States i know it's just not going to happen. I'm a huge fan NFL fan, i don't miss a Bears game from many years but when i see they play in London and people in the stands have shirts from teams who are not even playing that game is just embarassing and cringe, but brace yourself, i see Milan playing a Serie A home game against teams like Sassuolo or Udinese, not a big game, at Yankee Stadium in a couple of years

We need sponsors right now, i hope they can close some good deal, they have a ton of contacts in the USA but if we come back without any sponsor i don't care if we sold some shirts, we need real money to compete and improve even more

Over Chukwueze? I don't see how we can get both. Pulisic has an EU passport, so that's not the problem. I think he'll expect a starting role and at least 4 or 5m net. Doesn't really fit with the cheap youth model, but he does fit in well with RBs media agenda.

Fucking autism?? Are you mentally challenged?? What do all the other clubs do when a transfer doesn't work out?? What did Chelsea do when their 120 million buy of Lukaku not work out?? Or Real do when the 100 mil purchase of Hazard didn't work out. Or when Manure let Pogba go for free to Juve, buy him back for 110 mil, and let him go for free again to Juve few years later? Do they shut down everything in the club until they find out how to "offload" the player.

CDK was last years budget. The players who come now will be this years budget. If CDK worked out, the only difference it would make is they wouldn't maybe try and get a free transfer of Kamada or try for some other AM. It doesn't change any of the other positions they need to buy like striker, RW, etc...

Just tell me this one fucking thing... What does any other big club, when they buy a transfer and he bombs? What the fuck did Berlusconi do when he paid a world record fee for Lentini and he had a car accident and became shit? What did Milan do after paying 40 mil for Rui Costa and he left on a free transfer?? Just tell me what clubs do with a "bombed" transfer and you will have your answer. It's not that fucking difficult.

What did Elliott do after Leonardo wasted 9 mil on a half season loan fee of Higuain and another 9 mil on a half a season of his salary?

Cuntinale can sell CDK for 20 mil or send him on loan to increase his value again. People don't give a fuck. Spending doesn't have to come right after making some money. Elliott spent 3-4 years making losses on Milan every year and then sold the club to Redhit making back all those losses and a few hundred million in profit. Cuntinale has a 1.2 billion club that could be worth 3-4 billon in a few years and you think he should be worried about off loading one player at a 10-12 million loss?

Maybe there should be a minimum intelligence level for posting on the forum....
Didn’t read this mad rant lol 😂

You can bet your ass that it was the same with many top talents like Caicedo, Kone and Enzo. Identified early, had some contacts and then didn't pull the trigger for some reason.

:thumbsup:

I have to say I’m loving the latest rumours e.g. Tielemans & Chukwueze as these are EXACTLY the type of players we should be targeting.

Also, Tielemans is the minimum standard we should have for a midfield rotational player NOT fucking Krunic.

I am sorry but what are you guys cumming over exactly?
La Liga is the most technical and defensive of the leagues, opposite of the Bundesliga

Him and Leao terrorizing the wings would send the Serie A into an early grave

Too many miles in his legs and not a good defender. We need an actual 6 not another 8.

Full Leonardo interview

Leonardo, lei si dimette nell’estate del 2019. Boban dà l’addio nel marzo dell’anno successivo, Maldini è stato licenziato questa settimana. Il Milan dei fondi di investimento fatica a convivere con le sue bandiere?

«Non è facile rispondere, perché va dato atto che prima siamo stati assunti. Piuttosto mi pare che sia sbagliato ridurre la dicotomia a una lotta fra vecchio e nuovo».

Si spieghi meglio.

«Sembra che la nuova frontiera sia l’acquisto dei giocatori attraverso i numeri e gli algoritmi, ma guardi che non è una novità. A questa metodologia si è sempre fatto ricorso negli ultimi anni, anche quando c’ero io».

Il presidente Scaroni al Corriere ha rimproverato a Maldini la difficoltà a lavorare collegialmente. Lei che lo ha portato in società che cosa ne pensa?

«È assurdo affermare che non sappia operare in team. Lo ha fatto per tutta la vita con umiltà, anche con me quando in una situazione normale avrei dovuto essere io il suo secondo. Piuttosto c’è un altro aspetto».

Quale?

«Come me all’epoca, non aveva il potere di firma. Non è che si svegliava la mattina e comprava un giocatore in autonomia. Gli acquisti sono sempre stati il frutto di una decisione congiunta. Su alcuni talenti emergenti, che avevamo segnalato, era stato messo il veto».

Pare sorpreso, eppure la differenza di filosofia fra Paolo e i fondi non era tale da lasciar presagire un finale del genere?

«Non solo sono attonito, lo è tutto il mondo del calcio per la modalità dell’addio e per le motivazioni. Il Milan negli ultimi due anni ha vinto uno scudetto e ha raggiunto una semifinale di Champions. Da oltre un decennio la società non chiudeva il bilancio in utile e ora lo sta per fare, senza contare che il valore complessivo del Milan, da quando Elliott è subentrato ai cinesi a oggi, è quadruplicato».

I giocatori avrebbero dovuto essere informati prima del divorzio?

«Si sottovaluta quanto sia determinante nella crescita di un giocatore, come ad esempio Leao o Tonali, il rapporto personale e quotidiano. Le reazioni sui social ne sono una prova. È ovvio che i calciatori siano disorientati e si chiedano: “se hanno fatto questo a Paolo Maldini, cosa faranno con me”?».

Fra i motivi di attrito la differenza di vedute. RedBird è orientato all’acquisto di giovani da rivendere, Maldini invece preferisce uomini di esperienza.

«Mi pare che tutti all’interno della società siano d’accordo nell’affermare che il contributo di Ibrahimovic, Kjaer e Giroud sia stato decisivo nei successi del club».

Lo ammetta però: l’acquisto di De Ketelaere non è stato azzeccato.

«Ancora no, ma ha 21 anni. E poi è un’operazione di tutti, come di tutti sono stati Leao, Theo Hernandez, Maignan».

Il suo giudizio è influenzato dal rapporto personale con Maldini?

«Siamo amici ma Paolo è una figura unica. Non parliamo di me che sono brasiliano: sono andato all’Inter e poi a Parigi. Come ha detto Ancelotti, il suo licenziamento è una mancanza di cultura, di rispetto anche verso i valori dello sport. E per chi è milanista è una mancanza di rispetto verso sé stesso, perché Maldini è il Milan. Questa decisione crea disamore».

A chi le attribuisce un flop da 38 milioni per il mercato del 2018 che cosa replica?

«Intanto furono acquisti decisi collegialmente. Caldara era il difensore più promettente in circolazione prima che si infortunasse. Higuain fu il frutto di uno scambio con Bonucci. Il Milan ha recuperato tutti i soldi investiti in Paquetà. È stato titolare del Brasile e campione nella finale di Conference League. Non può essere considerato un flop un giocatore che arriva in Premier per 60 milioni. Piatek, allora capocannoniere, è stato comprato e rivenduto alla stessa cifra».

Che effetto le fa vedere che a distanza di un anno dal suo addio al Psg, il club francese si prepara all’ennesima rivoluzione?

«Come dice la famosa battuta? Con me è difficile, ma senza di me è impossibile... ahahaha».

Messi sta per trasferirsi negli Usa. Non si è sentito abbastanza amato al Psg?

«Mi spiace tanto per quel che è successo. È una persona straordinaria e un campione degno di entrare nell’Olimpo del calcio con Pelé e Maradona. Ha compiuto una scelta di vita che gli consentirà di conciliare al meglio la famiglia e il lavoro. Se vai in guerra, con Leo non rischi di morire da solo. Con altri sì».

Leao - Pulisic - Chukweezy

I mean... I don't love Pulisic and his injury history.... But yes.
