The Rumour Commode XLII: An Homage to Bunga

[dcfcfan1]

Inter defo are favourites over us when it comes to midfield battle unfortunately but think we are better up front now, they just have martinez

 

[theduck7]

As much as I like Kjaer and thankful for his leadership etc I think he’s finished as a player at CL level unfortunately and wouldn’t be too disappointed if he left

 

[justhope]

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.

true

I hope we sell Cdk for 25 and Origi for 6/7 and Saele for 10 and Moncada buys a good deep playing midfielder and no.9. They can both be young, ok. I can live with the project.

No use of having Cdk. A player mentally lost and with a coach that has no clue where and how exactly to use him.

Now that we play 4-3-3 CDK is fucked but even playing him CAM in 4-2-3-1 wasn‘t a crime against him imo, I mean he is too timid to play ST and not dynamic enough for RW.

I could see him doing well for Atalanta since using niche player is somewhat their thing, but still he imo is a profile a lot of coaches will struggle with, nothing that is especially Pioli.

 

[justhope]

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

rlc and reindeers trolling in this play?

Every season we predict that Inter will suck, are done, etc. But in the last four years they made the CL every time including reaching the final, won a scudetto, a second place, and two consecutive Coppa Italia. That's after being forced to sell some of their best players but they seem to find good replacements. I know about the financial situation they're in but it doesn't seem to effect them on the pitch because they continue to do well.
I don't want to be their defender but the predictions of doom and gloom are way too premature and they're still a side to be reckoned with. And despite their financial woes they are still able to pay a 6.5 million salary to Thuram, (I agree not worth it), spend some 35 million total for Frattesi if you include loan fees, and 21 for Samardzic. They have a good core of Lautaro, Bastoni, Barella, Hakan, Frattesi, Di Marco, Dumfries,, Thuram, Sama, Mhkitikaryan, so let's not dismiss their chances.

They also reached a Europa League final

How many of you expected them to reach a CL final with a defense of Darmian, Acerbi and Dumfries?

Think a buy back clause needs to be inserted into cdk for 35 mil. In case he blows up.

Sell for 25 mil.

I dont want another ptsd after witnessing abamyang, viera, kluivert grow elsewhere.

Who's stupid enough to give 25 mils for a fucking girl?

Take 15 max and dissappear

Quality everywhere. I don't want to praise them but they are a very well balanced functional team.

They also beat barca easily in group stages. Even though they aren't at their peak now but they are still a quality side.

I dint expect inter to reach finals but they certainly had every chance to make semis. They play very well as a unit. If you watch their games, they always create a lot of chances. Problem for them has been finishing.

We barely create any chances in our game. Pass the ball to leao or hoof ball to giroud is what we do.
We lack personnel. It's changing now. So let's see.

Its all good and all having a top end attack but if you have a midfield that cant hold or control posession it means fuck all. If that happens, expect us to yet again resort to long balls to bypass the midfield.

Longo on Musah: Since Friday everything was clear, now the last green light from President Lim has arrived. Never been in doubt, Musah will be Rossoneri for the next 5 seasons

Let's see this midfield in action first before we bash its ability.

 

[IcyDiavolo]

Divock Origi is ready to leave Milan. His first choice would be a return to the Premier League, even though he has received a rich offer from a Saudi Club he is considering (Nico Schira)

 

[Kaka06/07]

Idk why we need a dm if all three of the midfield are capable two way players. Wouldn't it make us more unpredictable. Would rather be catting edge than predictable. Also could piolis harsh treatment of Adli be a ploy to get him to work harder because he feels he might be a bit too relaxed.

 

[Soldier_of_god]

AC Milan are working on several fronts on the mercato and after signing seven players, one would think they are getting close to the finish line. However, it could be the exact opposite, as a report claims.



Yunus Musah is just one step away from joining the Rossoneri and he’s expected to become the eighth signing of the summer. In short, it’s been a busy transfer window for Milan thus far but it might not end there.

According to Andrea Longoni in his latest editorial for MilanNews, an additional 4-5 players could arrive after Musah. He believes the positions could be the following: two full-backs, a centre-back, a No.9 and perhaps another midfielder.

The journalist mentioned both Nicolas Dominguez and Morten Hjulmand for the midfield role, but it remains to be seen if there will be enough money left for this. Perhaps the potential sale of Divock Origi to Saudi Arabia would help unlock the matter.

Sempre milan : source


Good finally they are listening.

Maybe we will get both hjulmand and dominguez once adli, cdk leave.

 

[Rossonero81]

I think Reijnders and Loftus could both prove to be good signings, but it remains to be seen. I will judge them when the season is well underway.

I don't understand your love for Krunic though. He has never showed me anything that proves he can be a starter for us. He's an average player. I don't mind him starting once in a while, but I hope Musah can take his place after a few matches.

 

[IL Diavolo 3]

Would you rather keep him or have a 25mil brand new Moncada pick ?
Its an easy decision.
There is more chances for Adlu or Origi to blow than him.
Its a matter if he blow with another team or not , whats matter is can he blows here because he doesnt even suit us.

Cdk was a moncada pick, no?

 

[mrki]

Origi arrivederci! Complete disaster.

Rebić gave Milan a LOT. Ante deserves a grazie. He scored some super important goals and when he was in form he was great. Helped for CL qualification, helped for the scudetto, f up ladri, took the ball for the legendary Tonali goal vs Lazio... grande Ante. In the end he went to shit but he deserves a thank you.

Origi doesn't deserve nothing. Utter shit transfer.

I think Krunic is underrated. He is not flashy but he is almost always solid, you can trust him to play the sensible pass. He has played DM, CM and AM for us and never been the problem. I think he deserves to be trusted as the starting DM in our new lineup, because we're waiting for Bennacer to return.

My love for Krunic has been created by Krunic during his time here. When all our midfielders are fit he will return to his squad player role and be helpful at that. And mediocre? He has been very good in multiple big, important games for us. I've lost count of how many times he's come on and stabilized our play with his physicality and his ability to pass. On his day he is an excellent midfielder. I'm not saying he couldn't be displaced by a stronger player but I like the idea of him and his experience in the team alongside new boys Ruben and Tijjani.

On equal terms I don't understand why people don't rate him.

For pressing situations definitely not, otherwise we need a bit of tempo control and "foul management". Imo doesn't need to be a pure DM, those even tend to struggle with mids of 3, but a CM/DM would be good.

 

[mrki]

Srs question:

Hjulmand is really that good or people just talk... I didn't follow the player that closely so... thanx.

 

[fray]

What I found on Twitter, re: Musah.

 

[DeNiro]

 

[pat_m_9]

FM fb group says Milan liked Samardzic but the money is gone. Now Furlani will try to find basically free players and possibly an investment for a young cf.

They say the money spent from 40mln that Cardinale put out not including Tonali sale is way less then those 40mln and Furlani is restricted. That Maldini wanted to sell other players but they decided for one big sale.

So according to them unless we make great sales now the money is out.

I can’t remember who in this thread recommended that group - but they have no fkn idea about modern football and our club’s place in it.

All speculation and unsubstantiated anger.

I unfollowed without hesitation.

 

[Pingu]

 

[Hitchens]

Almost in awe with how we've methodically closed deal after deal. I expect exits to be the focus after Musah.
