Off topic but my hometown that I left at the age of 17 is divided into two parts, the oldest on a hill dominated by a castle built in the 1100s an area called the borgo, and the more recent part that dates to the 18th/19th centuries in the plains below where I lived. In the 60s it expanded to what once were farmlands outside of town and modern homes were built, thanks in most part to emigrants principally to Germany and Switzerland that every month sent the bulk of their paychecks back home to their families.

In the middle, between the higher and lower grounds, rises the church of Saint Bartholomew, our patron saint, erected in the 1700s and the tallest building in town. People are very devoted to the saint because and old tale recounts that he saved the village from Saracen mercenaries that had been ****** and plundering in the area but spared us by the pleadings of a mysterious old man that turned out to be Bart. The feast, on August 24th, is a 3/4-day extravaganza with rides, decorative lighting, marching bands, food stands, fireworks, a big procession and concerts of various types with the last one headlined by a well-known national singer or band.

The castle is the symbol of the town, unfortunately in need of repairs, the homes below were once occupied by nobles, (the closest to the castle), but mostly by serfs and protected by a wall encircled by towers that the vegetation has rendered almost invisible and with little population left. The ruler was a duke that answered to the Normans and owned most of the lands. It is said that on wedding nights the duke got to be the first to sleep with the brides, a duty imposed on him to check if they had been virgins or not. Not a bad gig and he probably approved of the ugly ones without having to sleep with them.

Despite living in America for most of my adult life I feel the need to visit my birthplace every few years, a location from where I have great memories of and tons of friends old and new. People welcome me to their homes with warmth and prepare delicious meals for me while here in America I'm virtually invisible because of age.

I visit in August for the feast because natives living elsewhere return home and reunions are nice, but also to be present at a medieval weekend in the ancient part above. There are old games from those days, volunteers that dress like our ancestors, minuet music played, parades with jugglers, witches, duke and duchess, even a costumed wedding walk and ceremony that includes the priest and guests.

Sorry for the trip down memory lane and Forza Milan!View attachment 49287
So you are saying he gets to shag all the hoes to make sure if they are are virgins or not before the groom marries the bride?

Not a bad gig indeed.

It all depends on Conte staying at Napoli or moving to Juve. Allegri would be fine but I really want De Zerbi. Maybe he'll bring Rabiot with him. Both are better choices than Italiamo, imo. Meanwhile Sarri keeps on being ignored.

W this softies in the squad De Zerbi being Fonseca 2.0. Won’t survive the turn of the year.

U remember Christoph Daum? During Pre-Season made players run over red-hot coals and broken glass. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Imagine that.

A.k.a:
"We don't know how to hit Gerry where it hurts because we already bought season tickets, jerseys and merchandise. We also are not allowed to bring banners, lest we get banned from the stadiums next season, like we were in Rome because we protested after the Coppa Italia Final. So we're just going to sing our support as usual and hope that it will send a messsage to Gerry that WE DON'T SUPPORT HIM, even though he's sitting in New York somewhere probably having a breakfast more expensive than our annual salary, completely ignoring the antics that we do."
:taphead:

These guys are such cucks.

A.k.a.:

Give the free tickets back and we wanna‘ve back the parking lot money. Neeeed thaaaat for COCA! We don't care if club’s punished as part of investigation by Chine.

What is a Guenzogui? :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not knowing the coach means not knowing if we need a CAM.
Guendouzi, I have problems with Afro/French names, a player that Tare acquired for Lazio cheap and now worth a lot more. I'm told he's not a true CAM but I see him often on the attacking side making plays. Athletic and big physically played well every time I've watched him.

Try running for the position Duke of your town
Unfortunately, they have a mayor now, and they don't practice that sort of thing anymore.
I've always been a traditionalist and hate changes or reforms so they've should have kept the old laws.
If I had been a groom in those days I probably would have asked to watch.

some Italian players we’re linked with today

Ricci
Leoni
Coppola
Nicolussi Caviglia
Udogie
Lucca
Piccoli

Would Parma take Colombo in exchange for Leoni? Or even Bartasaghi+Zeroli? More likely Venezia would take that sort of deal for Nicolussi Caviglia - who could be a very smart move. Both can be backups. These are the exact type of players I want as backups, players that would be hungry for a chance, on a fraction of the salary that some of our current back ups are on and with room to improve.
Would we risk rolling the dice and go into next season with Gimenez,Piccoli and Camarda? We've proven in the past, we can win a championship relying on our wide men..so it's an option. When Leao is on fire, any striker in the league is good enough..I'd just sign a striker that best suits Leao's game.

I feel like Zeroli is a bit overlooked, he is not as young as some of the other prospects but profile wise I have better hopes for him than for Liberali, who seems too petite for CAM and not a ideal fit for RW either.

One thing I did like about De Zerbi at Brighton is he knew how to build a defensively strong midfield. They would press you to hell and counter well.
He would have also seen Tonali and imagined being back at Milan with him.

I think if Dezerbi arrives- he will at least consider or recommend to evaluate the possibility of bringing Sandro back to Milan next year if not this one,

Tonali, Fofana and Ricci is not a bad mid field if we sell Tijji.

Tonali Fofana and Tijji are not bad on their own. One of Tonali and Fofana will have to play with defensive midset of course. Either in a double pivot or a 3 man midfield. Tijji gets to do his thing as a #8 or #10 hybrid? not impossible. One decent signing and couple of exit will make our midfield midfilled.

Tonali closer to jail than to Milan, boy.

De Zerbi‘s type are more like Carlos Baleba, Amadou Onana and not Tonali.

U watching football or not so much, huh? SUS!

The former Arsenal kid? He is more of a defensive player. Runner with good defensive traits. Decent player.

Was thinking the same..but i remember Pioli used a 4-4-2 before Covid with Ibra and Leao as the strikers..i cant remember Leao from back then but was he that bad? I think with a striker that can hold the ball..and a good passer his speed could be useful

Yeah, if the holding striker isn't Leao :)

Luka Jovic is a SS. Tammy is a SS. Leao is not. Gimenez is not.

We've seen this season Jovic and Gimenez struggling when playing alone. We've seen Jovic being better in partnership with someone like Leao. We've seen Gimenez playing better without Leao on the pitch at the same time because both would attack the same space. I wonder why Sergio never really tried to play Jovic and Gimenez together consistently. Especially last game where he benched Leao anyway. I think they could play off each other perfectly.

I forgot about that. We made a huge investment of 15M to create Milan Futuro. That's also weightening on the current 25M in red. Without that, it's "just" 10M which for companies as big as ours is like a rounding error... easy to get closer to 0 with some accounting tricks eventually, even more so if we manage to sell some of the deadweight before the 1st of July.

Unmatched legacy @leaf

Just like Leao ....I don't understand how you can not love him 🤷🏽

If he wins with Brazil he'll become the best coach ever. He's my favourite coach for sure, but I give Del Bosque that title as he won everything

What do u think‘ll Taylor cost? Knowing Ajax he is AT LEAST €50 million.

Doubts about Ricci but he can improve a lot. Right coach needed. Can't cost more than €25 million w bonuses, otherwise too expensive. I like his dedication.
I think Taylor’s contract expires in 2027, if there’s no sign of willingness to extend from the player.. the price might come down.

I also think Ricci should cost less then the mentioned 35. There must’ve been some sort of gentleman’s agreement on a number when he extended amidst all the rumors in December-January.

Most of the coaches we are linked to use players like that for CAM. That´s the main problem with the likes of KDB ideas.
Given that many teams use a 3atb system in Serie A it also makes sense, as it is much easier to suffocate a ball playing CAM with that system.

Honestly I don't even care.

The clown cunts (furlani, gerry, moncada, ibra, scaroni) deserve this embarrassment and humiliation.

I hope boban keeps shitting on them in the press
