iirc he was one of Moncada's biggest purchases at Monaco

so clearly he rates him a lot
He’s fallen off a bit since his heyday but is still levels above Krunic. Getting rid of Rade for 5m and replacing him with Tielemans for free would be smart business.

Il Cittadino - today a meeting between RedBird and the San Donato Municipality to try to finalize a deal for the San Francesco area. RedBird ready to break ground this summer.

I think he would play the AM

sounds like it's him or Kamada

That's even worse he has no mobility nor does he attack the box which is what is required for baldieball

we could maybe pair him with reyna as well and together they might be able to play 20 games per season :lol:
Oh fuck. Now I feel bad for this guy.
His face always reminded me of those USArmy veterans commercials.

Tielemans is a brilliant player, really talented. But I really can't see how he can play in a double pivot. He's not physical enough. He's a really nice passer.

Us going for him now is really convincing me, on top of the rumours from the past few days, that were gonna be play 343 more. Along with N'Dicka rumours. Seems like Pioli enjoyed us playing that way and Maldini didn't.

Meh

Best AM for baldieball was peak Kebab and no one has come close, he seems somewhat close to that mold

I just assume he will play there because the reports suggest Kamada is put on hold for him? I'm not sure

guess we'll find out soon

I think Cardinale was expecting us to finish outside the top 4 and use that as just cause to sack Maldini. However, following Juve’s points penalty, I don’t think he wanted to run the risk of Maldini blowing an increased mercato budget after last years debacle which is perfectly understandable.

Maybe Pioli will finally understand that his stupid 4231 is not working

Baldieball will send him into a wheelchair.

Players with dodgy injury histories playing in the league where you have to run the most. La Liga and Serie players cover the most distance the PL have the higher intensity runs.

If he’s coming here to replace Krunic + Baka then it’s a very good signing but if he’s the sole midfield reinforcement then I agree it’s a problem.

Kebab has an engine and workrate that's why Baldie uses Krunic there. Tielemans isn't that kind of player.

I don't disagree but Kebab offered passing similar to Tielemans

just saying if he was to come I would imagine he would play there because he doesn't have the mobility and physicality to play in the pivot

I would love a switch to a 3 back of sorts

I genuinely hate how often Theo and Leao clash in the 4231 and Theo certainly gets the worse of it

Playing a system that inhibits a top 3 player in the team is frustrating to say the least

Chukwueze looks like an amazing option for our RW. Imagine if our number one issue for four fucking seasons now :lol: gets fixed in such a way as the opening move.

It’s been hinted at in the press plus I’m actually expecting MF to SELL some players to increase it further.

One things for sure, after securing top 4 and reaching the CL semis, there’s NO way Maldini was expecting to get fired :cry:

San Francesco area? Where is this?

Nevermind, found it. This is inbetween two highways.

How do you start fixing the cracks that formed after firing the beloved maldini? By fixing what he hasn't for over 4yrs now.

Hell of a smart play.

343 doesn't suit Leao. Pioli thought Leao playing as the SS/insider forward would help him but it doesn't. Unless your playing on the counter it gives Leao less room to operate in and crowds his space him playing further infield

It's that one close to the highway in San Donato
You're Milanese right? Are you skeptical of the property? Looks a bit like in the middle of nowhere. Is the San Donato area nice and popular?

Maldini was expecting Cardinale to rubber stamp a 70m mercato budget at their meeting but ended up getting the dreaded pink slip :LOL:

Not at all and as i alredy said i don't believe people will say " yeah let's go to the highway and let's enjoy the Milan's cinemas and resturants " Sesto would have been a much better area imho but i'm sure Redbird knows better
