Modric, Xhaka, now Immobile. Is that the new project? Make new with old.

After I am not for the purchase of an attacker of the same level as Gimenez it takes a clear hierarchy especially in this position but is it Immobile it is better than Jovic? He is 35 years old anyway.

The club's strategy is not very clear. You also need young people.

It is often criticized for Italy for favoring old people to young people despite failures they persist with that ...

It’s not a big deal if they sign Immobile for cheap to come off the bench. Proven forward that knows the league. I’m guessing they’ll sign Vlahovic to start.

Carlo Pellegatti the other night interviewed Luca Diddi about Arson Jadhari:

Carlo Pellegatti:
What I’ve learned is that the deal isn’t easy, it’s complicated, but it’s the one Milan is currently most focused on: acquiring Ardon Jashari.

I told Luca: "Let’s talk a bit about Jashari," and he said, "No, no, I want to talk about him in a big way," because this would be a truly great signing for Milan. And we know that if Brugge start asking for no less than 40 million, it won’t be easy. Just look at past cases like De Ketelaere — does he really justify that price?

Luca Didi:
Well, I’ve seen Ardon Jashari many times, especially in the Champions League, like in the two-legged tie against Atalanta. He’s a 2002-born player and was named the best player in the Belgian league. So, we’re talking about a very young player with massive potential. To give our viewers a comparison: he’s a mix between Rabiot and Reijnders. That’s the type of player he is.

Carlo Pellegatti:
What does he have of Rabiot, and what of Reijnders?

Luca Diddi:
From Rabiot, he has that burst of acceleration, that powerful stride — what we call "strappo" in midfielders, which is a very valuable trait in today’s game. From Reijnders, he inherits the verticality. At Brugge, he’s used to activate the attacking wingers with long, pinpoint passes and switches of play — those are his main strengths. He’s good at dribbling, and compared to Reijnders, he’s stronger defensively: he wins more tackles and duels. However, he might be less present in terms of attacking runs but is much more focused on assisting teammates. He’s not a phenomenon, but he’s a very smart signing. Maybe now people think 35-40 million is a lot, but this is a player with enormous potential.

He’s perfect for Allegri because he does both phases of play. He has the physical strength Allegri loves — like Rabiot — and the verticality to launch players like Leao, Pulisic, or Gimenez, who thrive in attacking space. He might even be more vertical than Reijnders. Reijnders offered more off-ball runs, but Jashari can also play as a playmaker alongside two mezzali (box-to-box players).

Carlo Pellegatti:
I remember you saying you were impressed with him against Atalanta. That evening, Milan had another match, but you mentioned that he held his own — if not outperformed — one of Serie A’s best midfielders this season: Ederson. That’s quite the statement. So, when do you see a player’s true potential?

Luca Diddi:
I always like to watch players go up against teams that play man-to-man. Why? Because you see the duels, the ability to get free, the verticality — both with and without the ball. So against Atalanta, both home and away, he was one of the best on the pitch, if not the best in Bergamo. And he was up against Ederson — physically very tough — and he handled it. If you watch the game again, Ederson struggled a lot with Jashari.

Carlo Pellegatti:
Another key thing: Jashari seems to be constantly improving.

Luca Diddi:
Exactly. He grows every year. He’s one of those players who set an example in the locker room, even though he’s young. That’s another reason why coaches like him — not just for tactical or technical qualities, but also mental ones.

Carlo Pellegatti:
Yes, and that makes sense. He’s versatile, experienced despite his age, and already a full international.

Luca Diddi:
Infact he’s been called the heir to Xhaka in the Swiss national team. And Swiss players, as we saw at the last Euros, are very well adapted to modern football. They usually do well in Italy.

His biggest strength is his versatility: smart, focused, can play almost anywhere in midfield. We’ve seen what he can do — against Atalanta, with Switzerland. We know who mentored him. So yes, 35-40 million is a lot, but that's the market now. A 22-year-old like him could be worth 45 million already by tomorrow.
Oh, so this is the “Diddi” reference ffs

We're going from one the youngest teams in the league to one of the oldest. I know they want to make radical changes to the make-up of the squad but this is going too far if these transfer news are true.

Whats the point of buying young and developing them only to sell for profit?

Give me old heads for a 2-3 years cycle where we win silverware

You nicknamed yourself as “Soldier of God”
But God itself is the almighty and most forgiving.

Too much of an inconsistency in it 🤨

Berlusconi’s legacy was the one that shaped us. This forum might not even existed without B&G 😌.

Berlu I can forgive somewhat

He should not have a thread here. He is equivalent to a traitor for me

Modric and Xhaka are most capped players for Croatia and Switzerland, both long serving captains. Immobile was also a long serving captain for Lazio. Its smart to insert the leadership and experience, especially in the midfield. Throw in a similar center back as well and you have a strong foundation to build upon with youth.
