:thumbsup:

He’s a decent prospect and a loan with option deal to test the waters is MUCH better than paying 20m for RLC.

Still, Casadei is the top young midfielder from Chelsea I REALLY want who’s currently lighting it up at the u20 World Cup (along with Baldanzi).
Bringing Carney in a Tomori-like deal, wouldn't be a bad idea. People who are familiar with him rave about him. Chelsea just have so many players, they had trouble running training sessions, lol.

Casadei looks like the next great Italian midfielder. Italy still is producing top midfielders and defenders. I would rather spend 20m on Casadei than Baldanzi.

Of course there's no salary cap. People here just love reading negative reports from shit papers and then build a whole perception about the future of Milan. Positive things are not true, negative things are all true and will happen.
I'm truly not a negative minded poster. Was more so making a joke because yes I am an ownership hater and pro-Maldini.

Eww are you doing this too?

Do you don't think it's pretty depressing that you think these sort of players are long shots?

I honestly thought we might see official announcements for at least 2 of the 3/4 free agents were linked with.

They provide squad depth while keeping money available for starters... But you think free agents are long shots, your words.

If we can't convince free agents to sign, again I ask, how do we sign starters???

Was the question too taxing or do you not have thoughts on the problem?

I suppose this is still Paolo's fault?

Why do you say that.
Pioli is personally calling players.
We are safe.
Better than who ever called Meesias , Diaz , FBT , Baka , Origo , CDK Florenzi , Mandzu ....

When will the anti-paolo crew ridicule our poor man's offer. At least we tried though, right?

Seems like new management trying to appease fans with rumours about everyone. At least Maldini kept a pretty closed shop when it comes to rumours. Pretty embarassing so far!
I expect people here to blame our losses on maldini's purchases and pin our fodders on him at least until 2025

Gerry is a guy who went to loan a Ferrari ciz he cant buy one. You don't loan a Ferrari. That's what he did with AC Milan.

Now we can hope it sll goes ok but we'll see...

I do agree
Milan a Ferrari

I was looking for something else and found this from Galliani from a few years ago, made me sad:

“The real regret is the very regular goal not given to Muntari. We would have won the second consecutive Scudetto, our history would have changed,” he said.

“If we had won the Scudetto we would not have sold Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, two who still make a difference today. We could have started again with the fourth great Milan and I would have closed the purchase of Tevez.

“If it had gone as I say maybe we wouldn’t have sold and maybe today we would still be there. Instead the Argentine went to Juve, who with him won three league titles in a row.”
Also G: Plz forgive juve, they have suffered enough. Don't punish them any further. This is the best for the league.

Fuck outta here with that BS!

Thinking I wanted him sold in summer 2021 because Rebic was going to be much better... I've rarely been wronger in my entire life.

I appreciate that, a lot, honestly.

I just don't see the data driven, moneyball genius so far. Kamada? Tielemans? Thuram? Ndicka?

What is there to see that shows some sort of innovative insight?

I'm not fatalistic, I'm just raising my expectations, I expect excellence now.

And to be fair, I've always been dramatic lol.

We're 1 week into the new regime, we've yet to see what incredible gems Moncada wil undig for us 😉 But for a start, I wouldn't say no to Thuram and Chukwueze, even if they're already known to everyone 😅

They said they want to be ambitious. Maybe we're past that point where Moncada needs to dig out the gems for our starting team and we'll see the gems further down the line when we've dealt with the targets who have expiring contract because half Europe is on the run right now to get them.

But hey what do I know I'm just a dude in the internet trying to make sense :lol:

I don't think we have a 5m cap, we're giving Leao 5m with 2m in bonuses, so I don't think the cap is real.


I'm curious to see what PSG do, it looks like they're going to do some heavy reconstruction, particularly in their attack. Mbappe hates playing as a striker, and wants to play on the LW.

Asensio is there to play RW, so Thuram could be their starting striker, as PSG have already started shopping Ekitike around.

Obviously, Neymar is the big question mark, but, if Nagelsmann comes in, I can see Neymar being played as a CAM and them going into a 4231. Neymar really raised his play and effort this year, I have to give him credit for that. Of course, it seems PSG also want to get rid of Neymar, but he's got a few years left on his deal.

Who knows? But he might have a clearer path to starting at PSG than Milan, since Giroud is here?
Personally, I don’t believe that clubs of the stature of Milan+PSG would consider Thuram starting material. Instead, they probably view him as a great market opportunity to sign a quality rotational player for FREE who can be flipped for a profit in future (don’t forget that PSG hired Moncada’s mentor Campos).

This makes sense given that his numbers are solid but not at the same prolific level as Kolo Muani who could easily start for most top clubs. Therefore, I expect whoever signs him to buy a more credible starter too including us e.g. Openda etc.

Come on man. Italian defenders are still very good. Defenders, in general, are just... much worse than before. Di Lorenzo is a beast of a RB. Bastoni is really impressive, more so in a back 3 than in a back four. Scalvini is one of the most talented CB talents in the world. Spinazzola's career has been held by by injuries, but Parisi looks like a real talent. Di Marco, another isn't bad, even though he really needs to be a LWB to do anything. People rate Mancini (I think he's trash) and then there's Destiny Udogie, another LWB who looks very good. Okoli might be another CB to look at.

Midfielders? Jorginho, Verrati, Barella, Tonali, Frattesi, is a very good midfield unit, and even useful players like Locatelli and Cristante plus young talents like Casadei, Miretti, Ricci?

Italy's problem is their attack is way below what they produce in other positions.

This isnt true at all. G making excuses for his failures. Winning the title wouldnt all of a sudden give us the money needed to not sell Ibra or Thiago. G made some insane decisions in the prior seasons that led to that.

Stop making excuses that a ref mistake cost us the start of the next "great" Milan. It was his management. We had no place to make any big moves after that.

I’m not getting upset over players that we were linked to for the first time in the last week.

You may remember last summer, we weren’t able to close on Botman and Sanches. It happens, or Enzo & Muani.

Without knowing the details, I’m not going to blame the management team that has been in place less than a week to support an agenda.
