How many midfielders did we buy?
Also, Ben is injured.
Who do you think will play instead of Crunchy?
That’s the point. If you buy 3 midfielders, there must be someone better than Krunic to play his role. Otherwise you did a bad job

Why would Pioli not want to keep Krunic? Stable, experienced player with high football IQ. Been here for four seasons on an upward performance trajectory. In a department with three new signings.

Bunch of Football Manager heads in here.

Imagine if after buying so many players, Krunic still will be starter:lol::lol:
Probably it will be like that.
Krunic can only be DM and dictate tempo from there. Children dont understand that and they think quantinty is more important than quality.
Maybe Musah will be Destroyer in few years, At the moment he is not ready. I read interesting interview from Polish journalist that Musah had bad last season and he was playing very well with Gattuso as a coach.
I think we have to many Box to box players. RLC is irrelevelant and I would prefer Dominguez or Hjullmand. Especially second one , because he has good passes and leadership.
Lack good DMC destroyer will decide we wont have good next season. We spend a lot money and if we wont get scudetto or go quarter finals in CL then It will be bad season.

A great midfield can still make a mediocre striker look good and we could dominate teams

A shit midfield would never be able to dominate top teams even with top wingers and strikers.

Fix the DM spot you moron.

I just think that we really need a CD and then a proper CDM. If FBT leaving replace him with third signing then we can close the Mercato.

The direction of signing from Furlani and Moncada is always looking at big team rejects or potential good player from smaller league. It seems they didn't want to look into options of serie A for some reason.

I would very much like to get Ricci for the CDM post at least to keep a bit of Italian player in the team. Otherwise Hjulmand is also great option.

Kjaer is no longer in Piolis plans. Says Longo.

Pioli is a savage this summer
For a guy who always said that he loved all his players, they all trained hard, good boys, etc Pioli is cleaning house, can't wait to get rid of most of them.
In this regard he's a big fat liar.

I guess we're approaching due date on the birth of negativity squad 2023/2024.

Key selling points at the clubhouse:

- Lack of DM
- Pioli despite his achievements has no idea what he's doing because of Adli.
- Life sucks, why not promote it to others?

Buying the best talents in Serie A needs to become part of Milan’s long-term goals. It hasn’t been possible on a strict budget, but when our revenues hit 500M we should be able to.

And then here
Dominguez is quite good himself. Hjulmand is better defensively but Dom is better at moving the ball forward.

Musah is shit defensively. Good at ball carrying.
I don't know what we are planning for the DM role tbh.

Look, if this is how our midfield going to defend, then consider derbies lost again


1m52s

We are going to get humiliated again by inter badly. Their midfield would absolutely **** us again.

Serie A season consists of 6 matches against serious teams and 32 matches against farmer clubs.

Krunic will do just fine.
Yea how did that work out last season? If it wasn't for Rube cheating scandal we would have been fifth.

I would recommend everyone calma for a bit. The Musah deal is done, most of the rumored net transfer budget has been spent.

But there are a lot of players linked with an exit, just over the weekend I read: Sael, Rebic, Adli, Kjaer, Bennacer, Origi, Colombo, Caldara (lol), and our beloved CDK.

So

There may yet be A LOT of action.

FWIW Atalanta is the perfect destination for CDK and they just came into some money. 🙏🏾

Our defense line is not great as was Scudetto time. Hjulmand kind player we would have easier life for our Wingers and Theo go forward. They would be somebody who look their backs.
No Good DMC I think it will be no Scudetto.

one spoon of shit can spoil a barrel of honey
So much good work done, great RW, Pulisic looks like a big upgrade over Diaz
and no cornerstone in midfield

A CM with AM qualities is what we need. With playmaking qualities. I should have made that clear.

Reijnders is fine but we definitely need a DM badly. Ideally I would prefer someone more creative than tijjani. Prime pjanic/hamsik type player.

There is generally an Italian tax buying from within Serie A. Look at Fratessi compared to Reijnders.

Key is to develop Italian talent from our own academy rather than try buying developed players from other Serie A clubs. That Roma youth sector guy we are getting should ideally see to that.
And also a Milan NextGen in Serie B
