Suma said Morata wants to come back with Allegri, Xhaka is a hot name, he does not want to talk about Vlahovic we have to wait and see what happens with him, we want 30 for Musah not 25, Inter budget is over, if they want to buy now they have to sell first
Fuck Morata - Fuck right off!!!!

Take Jovic or Tammy back before that joker.

I need to be clear, the timing was bad for us only.
As for the rest, he would have been one of the best strikers of the generation and would have accomplished far more if not for the numerous injuries.
He wouldn't have stayed at Schalke for too long, guaranteed Bayern would have swooped in for him at some point at the minimum.

When I commented on him being a penalty box striker I didn't mean to say that he was outdated. He was just a more classic striker like a Radamel Falcao-type.
Falcao had more personality outside the box though.

Klass has his name personified though - his finishing ability was just so sweet. Really a shame injuries and being here in a weird period robbed him of playing with top creators to make up for his lack of athleticism.

Milannews write that Allegri wants to understand if Saele can be used as a fullback like Cuadrado and that if no good offers come from Pobega he would like to keep him as a substitute
Sounds like Allegri already had the meeting with Gerald 😅

Saele can only be used as a fullback in the second half of a game where we are pushing for a goal, or perhaps against a relegation side, otherwise, I don't think he's a great option for fullback. If we play a back three with wingbacks, I think that's where Saele looks at his best, or as a sort of "poor man's Valverde" as a balancing winger sorta player, but he's a great energy guy.

However, if offers of 20m are coming in for him, if we're not going to utilize a system that gets the most out of him, he's too valuable to keep, and it's also not great for his career, either.

The kid works hard, great attitude, doesn't give up, and I'd like to keep him, and he'd be better than Chuk, without question.

He was still mostly a box striker though and nobody knows if Hunt could have evolved his game more or not
Back then I compared him to Ruud van Nistelrooy and thought he was gonna take over the mantle from him
But the numbers speak for themselves, he still did good overall
Even scored more than Nistelrooy for the Oranje

Deer himself said City contacted his father.
Milan never said they wanted to sell him.
Those are the only proven facts.
Anything you say is speculation & you :lol: on me stating the only proven facts in the matter is :lol:
Theo is being forced out.

Tijjani Reijnders is the same situation as Tonali. If you don't see the pattern from this management. You haven't been paying attention.

You never heard a peep from this that he wanted to leave. And you know management didn't want fans to react like they did when Tonali was sold. So of course they wouldn't come out and say they want to cash in on him.

I think if we got CL football, I don't think Reijnders leaves Milan.

I think Tonali was sold because Moncada did not rate him, and when he took control, he sold him.

I also think the players thought they could make a run to the CL, or even win it. With the way that the players were talking about it, Walker included, I think they saw the CL as a tangible goal. Maybe that's the sort of ambition you have to have to be successful as a player? I'm not saying we could have won, but I'm talking about the players' mentality.

Reijnders leaving doesn't have the same impact because Tonali was seen more as a future captain, Milan fan, and all that. I also think the devastation from the 8th place finish, fans knew that players were going to be sold.

The weird thing is why Milan's two big sales under Redbird have both been very fast, did not seek to maximize the value of those players, nor did they really open up to a bidding war. If the whole point of selling players is to be more efficient, what tangible benefit do you get from selling so quickly, without maximizing what you can get from those sales?

Allegri is perfect. Just PERFECT for this menagment. No complains bout transfers/weak squad, just want to optimize sqad given. He loves making medicore players useful (Pobega...jeeesus). Some may even call it luck of ambition ;)

But tbh I am certain of 2 things:
- we will play boring but efficient football,
- we will finish top 4 next season - and thats what this club needs in the first place. CL spot.

Don't have an issue with Morata returning because he is a professional
He proved it when he kept his head down and quietly went to train after the cooling break incident caused by dumb&dumber and we won vs Inter afterwards

However he cannot be the starting striker, if he's okay with warming the bench as a 3rd or 4th choice then he can come back

Some people are saying Jovic is better than him but I'm not really convinced, he went so many matches missing and he doesn't have Morata's passing ability
Tammy about similar level to Morata in terms of goalscoring although Tammy was a killer in Milan derbies this season, would swap him for Salafodder in an instant

But I want a proper striker like Jonathan David
Earlier on in the day we were linked to Gyokeres but probably a bullshit rumour
I don't trust Gimenez to be starting striker, based on what I've seen this season at least

According to Claudio Anellucci, an agent who spoke to 1 Station Radio today, via Milan News.

“Lucca? I was among the first to say that he would go to Napoli and that he would go for a significant sum. I continue to believe what I said months ago. Not because I have a crystal ball or am a magician, but because I knew a few things.​
“I knew that the Napoli directors had moved to London to speak with the Udinese owners, and from there I connected the dots. So yes, I continue to say that Lucca will go to Napoli, and also for a high sum, around fifty million euros.”​

This isn't Lucca's agent, but just an agent giving his opinion, and I imagine he knows some gossip--who knows, maybe he's just helping out his friend who is Lucca's agent? I don't know if that's the case, I'm just speculating.

Point is: let's say that Lucca costs, heck, around 25m, okay, cool but, bro, in what world is a player like that worth 50m?

I'm not anti-Italian players, if someone's good, great, but jeez, 50m for... Lucca?

Inter got around 120m from CL last season, and are expected to get a minimum of 40-50m from the CWC this summer. They are also probably going to lose a few high wage players. I definitely don't think they need to sell first...

I was fearful that we would see the piece of shit Morata wanting to come back to work with Allegri. I pray that this does not happen because Morata is a shit diving player for every club and every coach, keep him away. I also don't think Vlahovic would work here, we already have Giminez who we have to make the most of. If we want a striker it has to be someone like Osimhen (the only player who could make us a Scudetto contender next szn) who plays slightly behind or beside the #9 (Gimenez). I also like the idea of signing Immobile as long as he's cheap and the third option (replacing Jovic). If he's the 2nd option (replacing Tammy) then this is a definite NO.

I do like the idea of Allegri reconciling with Theo & Maignan, but absolutely sell their asses if they don't renew by August 1. The 15m or whatever we can get from them can help us a great deal with our current situation without CL money...

If Napoli spends 50M for a Lucca and 30M for Musah, then they are officially high af on that Scudetto win.

My guess is they’re pushing it to July 1st so it doesn’t count for this year.

loan + obligation to buy upon reaching 1 appearance (something like CDK's deal) could easily be done

but I think Allegri wants to assess Musah, and rightfully so. we got a diamond and everyone's willing to sell him off because of Conceicao's amateur and terrible management of his players.. the moment they make mistakes, he subs them off, even if it's in the 25th min!! he's hugely responsible for the fans turning on Musah.. and also responsible for a lot of our players losing form with that management style

Out for a walk.
The Theo saga is entirely of his own making. It's literally the only thing that was going to tank either his play or his reputation. If he renews and gets back to his best, or something like it, then that's best case scenario. If he remains wishy-washy, then dude just needs to be sold and moved on from.

Tijj said City contacted his father.
Tijj said yes because City contacted Milan who set a price on his head.
So Milan didnt initiate the sale or else Tijj would have said that Milan contacted him with the deal.
He even talked how happy he is gonna play for such elite team.
What are you talking about?!
About Theo there are clubs coming to ask for him.
There are reports that the club is ready to sell but again a price need to be met.
The same goes for MM.
Chelsea came with a buy price & we didnt accept it.

There was not a single report that suggested that Milan offered Theo , MM or Tijj to a single club.

Leao and Theo aka Dumb&Dumber are our so-called superstars so the blame goes to them first and foremost for Milan finishing 8th this season
They(also Calabria) are the ones who caused a lot of problems and created a bad atmosphere in the locker room and got Fonseca sacked for one
