Retegui would be a dream though. He should be too expensive for us, given his numbers and how many big teams need a CF.
But I would honestly sacrifice Gimenez for him if we had to.
Retegui is shit
Only good for provincial clubs.

Stop overrating Italian turds

They are all shit

I think you misunderstood the context of my post, bruv. Being a Milan fan is not a prerequisite to play for Milan. As long as you're good enough, you're always welcome. But do not give me the unnecessary bullshit that certain players don't wanna leave the team because they love Milan so much, especially those who grew up not a Milan fan. Being gullible is one thing, being delusional is another.

Tijji signed his contract before he became Serie A Best Midfielder. Prior to that, he had only half a season of stellar football. Last season he was decent, but nothing spectacular. Before that, nobody even heard of him. What we offered for his contract extension albeit low, was substantial for him, that's why he signed with a happy heart.

Now when City comes a knocking with the appeal of CL football, being coached by Pep, playing with Haaland and Rodri instead of Musah and Chukwueze, plus tripled salary on top, hearts will change, especially if you have ZERO attachment to the club.
Ok, now you're just making shit up.
Do you think that City just looked up who the best midfielder in Serie A was and just bought him right off the bat?
That's not how it works. City must have been scouting him for a year now, I would probably guess when he scored vs Real Madrid that's when Guardiola and co. noticed him.
And they must have been in contact for a while now.
Reijnders still signed the contract extension when we were in 9th place.

Also, I just have to note that I hate it when players sign and say they've been Milan fans growing up and stuff.
Hated it with Tonali and hated it with Gimenez too.
You were a Milan fan growing up? Cool. Be professional and keep that shit to yourself please since Milan are not signing you because you are a Milan fan. If you want to profess your fandom, then save it for when you've won everything with us or when you're done with your career.
I know that it's probably unintentional in most cases but it feels like emotional manipulation being used against the fans.

Based on what? He scored 25 goals in 36 apps in the league.
I need substance to this opinion. Is this league easy to score in? Is that your argument?
Because he's scored in this league, and we play in this league. So what changes, when he moves to us?
I said I'd happily swap him with Gimenez and some cash on top... If you disagree is it because Gimenez is better? The guy that couldn't come anywhere close to the same average as Retegui..

You must think Gimenez is abysmal. Lautaro Martinez got 12 league goals. Thoughts on him?

I hate when Milan players are Milan fans growing up
Not what I said. Reading comprehension issues or maybe selective reading.
I hate players saying it because it feels like they are sucking up to us fans.

You were a Milan fan growing up? Cool, so was I, but that doesn't mean I'm good enough to play at Milan.
So shut up and show me your football skills, win trophies and then say that afterwards. Thank you.
Don't try to emotionally manipulate me into liking you.

Dream? Absolutely not. A decent player however. How much do you think is his cost?
Name a better player we can sign. I'll wait. A dream because, really a better team than us should sign him. And because he'd be turning down CL football to join us.

Look, I want to win a championship next season. It's up in the air. Signing him, increases our chances massively. So would a top CB.

Retegui only has had one good season though.
At Genoa he didn't score nearly as much.
He may be a systembaby at Atalanta.
Bit of a risk.

Better player we CAN sign? Are you sure we can afford him? Maybe 40 mils would be enough, who knows.

Tonali being a Milan fan isn't him manipulating you to liking him. And that's why you're a bozo. And a ***.

What do you want instead? Gyokeres? "Only done it in Portugal! Big risk!"
Lewandowski? "Too old"
Vlahovic? "Didn't we learn from Higuain"
Haaland? "He only does one thing well, finishing"

From who we can realistically target. We will not bring anyone better.

You really want a guy that has 2 or 3 amazing seasons in a top flight league, huh? That'll cost you 70+ mil.
And that list of strikers is very low.

This is the worst period in the history of the game, when it comes to Strikers. And I'm not going to argue with anyone about this, it's just a fact.

So you are telling me provincial club Napoli can afford that and we can’t?
Provincial club Napoli spends more money than we do and sells much better. Paid 70 million for Osimhen, 45 for Buongiorno and are run at a profit. In this day and age we are the provincial club not Napoli that has won the league 2 out of the last 3 seasons.

We hang on to past glories but are light years away from what we once were.

Sure it is, whether he's doing it sub-consciously or not. Especially when you're an unproven player who hasn't won jackshit.
Players should be more mature and know how to conduct themselves.
It especially feels dirty when I see Gimenez showing photos of himself when he was a kid wearing Milan jersey.
It's like courting a woman and telling her you've always loved her the first time you meet her.

MilanNews reports that Milan has hired long-time Juventus coach Claudio Filippi as our goalkeeper coach. Reputed to be one of the best in Europe Allegri hopes that he can improve the play of Maignan should he remain at Milan.

Gyokeres is proven in Champions League and he scored 54 goals in 52 matches
We can't afford him, there will be so much competition for him and he will go for +100 million
We can't afford Vlahovic salary either
Haaland? You are taking the piss

I think we have more pressing issues than the striker position, I would be fine with giving Gimenez a chance and give Camarda some real chances
But if we had to sign a striker then Jonathan David would be a pretty safe bet, he has proven his consistency in French league and Champions League for the past 4-5 seasons
We would have competition but not as much as for somebody like Gyokeres

Retegui is a system player

When you see him play for Italy against all the best players from other top nations, that would give you the real picture of his ability
He is trash in every game I have seen him play.

System players can never step up in big clubs. He will 100% fail. He is basically another hojlund type fodder.

They are still much poorer than us in terms of revenue generated. So why can’t we afford de bruyne??

Dint we win the financial scudetto?

Not just me, all Milan fans.
Again, he probably doesn't know that he's doing it, but the sycophant behavior is childish, disgusting and annoying nonetheless.

Imo, Retegui is the least system player in Atalanta.

He is a decent finisher who needs service, and if we can’t provide him service it’s not that he is a system player but more our system is broken.
