No idea why u got that impression tbh, odd thing to say and I see ur bum chum enjoyed it being negative
Ownership change is not on the cards any time soon. My stance has always been we have to hope for the best with the incumbents. Tare and Allegri are good signs. However, I am going to take a sit back and see approach this season. Been pretty disappointed lately.

I have serious doubts about the 55 + 15 m for Reijnders. Just makes no sense to sell him to City in particular for that amount. We will have to wait until the official data is published (like in December), but I am pretty sure the figures are better.
Hell no to Vanja Milinkovic Savic. The guy belongs in the Torino, Genoa, Udinese bracket.
Sell all of Theo, Maignan and Leao.
Get a fresh start without fake stars.

Nesta, Antonini, Crespo, Pirlo, Pippo, Kaka. Ibra. Current: Gabbia, Mike
I've thought of various fantasy scenarios in my head for around that era of what I would do if I were in charge.
-Get Ronaldinho
-Get Pato keep him away from MilanLab
-Keep Kaka
-Sell Pirlo, buy Xabi Alonso before Real gets him
-If possible get Van Bommel from Bayern
-Get one of Eto'o or Henry
I don't know what I would do past there, haven't thought of how I would rejuvenate the defense and with who and haven't thought of who to buy from that era to replace Seedorf
But imagine an attack with Ronaldinho, Pato, Kaka, Eto'o/Henry... plus we had Ronaldo too(before he got the 3rd knee injury) :eek::eek::eek: not to mention Inzaghi as a cheeky alternative too

I often think about that post-2007 era and how much of a missed opportunity it was because the club was being cheap and ******ed
I remember one of the complaints being that Ancelotti wanted Eto'o and we got Dinho because of Berlusca
But my question was always... why the fuck not both?
I hate how Milan became a cheap club not willing to spend around this era
Luca Toni would have fired us to multiple Serie A titles. His numbers with Fiorentina around that era were through the roof. Inzaghi would be the saviour for us in Europe as he was in the 07' Final.

He’ll even after we could have turned everything around

Sell pato
Get tevez
Keep ibra
We win the league easy even with bs muntari goal being disallowed.

We get Vidal for cheap and buy nainngollan for cheap

Midfield solved

Win some more scudetti and then replace defense
Tevez will leave after winning 3 scudetti and maybe a ucl final. He will run like a bitch to China or whatever.

Then we will already have a great midfield plus defense fixed as well. We would just need a new great striker. I guess that man would have been dzeko for the next few years till about 2017. Banter era would never have happened.
No... 2011/12 era it was basically impossible because of the Mandadori fine at that point

And actually about 2011/12 Serie A... let's analyze some things
Milan 80 points Jube 84 points
Milan got robbed 8 points in 4 different matches with 4 disallowed legit goals(including Muntari's goal) so we actually won that title

And keep in mind we won that title with:
Pato injured and basically finished in that season, 14 Serie A goals in 25 matches from the previous season gone
Gattuso eye injury missed the whole season basically, he was crucial in the season before, and no Nocerino's goals didn't make-up for his absence
Cassano was in phenomenal form early on registering a shit-ton of assists, missed out most of the season because of heart illness

Jube also didn't have European football unlike Milan, Cunte loves competing in Serie A without European football because he's small-time

So yeah that Milan is way undersold, but also it was a very old team and Mondadori fine killed us and I doubt even if we won scudetto that season we would have been able to keep Ibra and Silva

God I love Luca Toni
One of my favourite big Cf type strikers.

He absolutely would have yes

He did well at Bayern too.

I remember even an old decrepit Toni destroyed us in a couple of league games.

Give him some service which he would definitely get with our creative force back then, he would have scored plenty.

Loved his celebrations too

Toni with tevez imagine that

That's why I didn't understand giving Salad away. He always looked good and was getting better when playing on the left.

Letting Okafor eat all the pies was loose as fuck as well.

Going into the season with only really Leao and Christian as our options on the wing was clown shoes!!!

I'd love Noa Lang in, send an offer of ChK or Okafor for him. He'd push Leao for sure and get minutes. I think we mucked him around a little and probably thinks he's above us now.
Saelly didn't 'always look good' - he looked good that pre-season and even then most in here still weren't convinced.

If we can't expect Rafa to work on his issues outside of training then how can we stop Okafor from eating?????
- And Conte surely didn't flip the switch on him either, he occupied the same spot he has done all his time in Serie A.
He is an excellent finisher but counts for little if he can't keep himself ready to be counted on.

We didn't go into the season with only two wingers - the replacements were just weak. Your solution is back to Brugge for the lesser prospect?
Another 20 plus on top of Chuk and Musah?

Spalletti is going to end up at Fiorentina or Juve. Rumors say Pioli or Ranieri to take over the NT.

I don't know if we would have won against Barca even with Tevez
They refballed us with 2 fake pens and UEFA propaganda was too strong

But I am confident if Pato, Cassano and Gattuso were able to play throughout that season we would have won scudetto even with jube refs trying to screw us over

The stuff at Toulouse I think proves Jerry is a charlatan. The sooner we get new owners the better

This morning, Toulouse FC met with the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG) as part of the annual review of professional clubs, receiving confirmation that the Club is in a strong economic and structural position ahead of the 2025-2026 McDonald's Ligue 1 season.

Prior to this meeting, and as in previous years, RedBird Capital Partners (RedBird) provided additional funding to the Club to ensure its financial strength for the 2025-26 season. The DNCG did not take any measures against the club, confirming the sound management and strategic direction that supports Toulouse FC's ambitious sporting project.

The representative of the club's owner, Neil Chugani, Managing Director and Chief Operating Officer of RedBird, attended the meeting as Interim President of Toulouse FC, accompanied by several members of the management team, and held discussions with DNCG officials, including its President. This is a transitional role pending the arrival of a new Chairman.

Mr Chugani is head of the RedBird team in London, and brings a wealth of experience from over 25 years in media, sport and technology. He has held senior positions at Warner Bros, Discovery, Google and Sky, as well as being a strategic board member of UK Sport, the government body responsible for funding British athletes for the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Alongside Mr Chugani, a RedBird team travelled to Toulouse to actively support the club through its governance transition following the departure of Damien Comolli, demonstrating its commitment to ensuring stability and continued success both on and off the pitch.

The immediate priority is to appoint a new chairman who shares the ambitions and passion of the owners, management and supporters. The successful candidate will play a key role in implementing Toulouse FC's long-term strategic vision. The recruitment process has already begun.
In the meantime, RedBird is working closely with the club's management and sports operations team to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining the momentum Toulouse FC has built since the partnership began in 2020. Since then, the Club has enjoyed great success on the pitch: a rise to McDonald's Ligue 1 in 2022, victory in a major competition with the Coupe de France 2023, a return to European competition after 14 years, and this season, its best Ligue 1 finish for 11 years.

What do u actually mean? U‘d critizice Gerey n RedBird how they handle things at Milan w firing Maldini, not appointing DS afterwards, squad building etc. But they saved TFC from becoming irrelevant.

Yes

Keep him if the only offer arriving is 15m

Sell if we receive a higher offer

Hakan, Kessie, Donnaruma .. none of those we received good offers for anyway, AFAIK
Kessie had two good offers come - he refused.
We refused to pay his agent commission - he left.

When do you think another and better offer will arrive for Mike if he is free to choose in winter?
The only hope would be a starter getting injured just before the season commencing. Even in that situation clubs look to loan.

Toulouse won their only title under Redbird (or 1 out of 2 if you count their predecessor club) and got back into Ligue 1. They have some chaos now, but charlatan? A charlatan for a club like Toulouse means that they end up in amateur football, not one of their more successful periods.

I think Honda sold quite a few jerseys iirc.
You have to be realistic about it though.

Suzuki otoh? Black goalie that looks nothing like a Japanese person? Nobody in Japan has time for that.
So, how high did you jump last night when Petrovic saved that penalty against Albania? What was it, ceiling cracked or just spilled your popcorn in slow motion? 🤡

So to surmise again

Names linked and that may be signed

vmS, modric, Xhaka, Rabiot, Vlahovic or jonathan David, Tillman to replace TR, chiesa, Leoni and a possible lb if Theo leaves. Lb being nuno Tavares or firpo or Molina.
VMS
Jimenes - Leoni - Pavlovic - Tavares
Rabiot - Tillman/Modric - Fofana
Pulisic - Gimenez - Leao

Kinda like it 🤔 (bar Leao)

I especially curious with Tillman
