The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Curupira]

I dont get the Gimenez saga.
Why we gave up on him so fast?!

Clearly not good enough if hes out here promoting more training

Imposter alert!

Training before breakfast .

 

[Curupira]

You made her Milan supporter ? Better we won CL faster otherwise that would be reminded to you all of your life .

"you haven't cooked or done any work around the house for MONTHS"

"bitch you made me support Milan"

 

[Berlusconi]

So guys I have a huge dilemma and need help.

So my wife for Father’s Day got be a Milan coffee table book and a milan jersey, so initially of course I was happy.

But then, I open the book and first page is a message from Gerry….

Then I look at the kit she bought, and it was like the Goalkeeper alternate kit or something because she liked how it looked the most (not bad tbf)

So generally speaking I was happy but then I’m like our funds just supported 8th place and the first thing I saw was Gerry’s face…..if she knew any better it’s like she did it on purpose to be funny

 

[delira]

Break the wages and dip into the ffp allowable 60-80 million 3 year deficit.

Ngl modric xhaka looks like a trash mid

 

[SuperPippo]

You must be new here. It's been happening for 20 years.

 

[ymsv]

"you haven't cooked or done any work around the house for MONTHS"

"bitch you made me support Milan"

Better to fire Ibrahimovic faster so she would stop following Milan .

You could ask Gerry to sign them .

 

[Massaro94]

Hakan transformed.

You all keep saying Milan is missing Adli's talent or misusing him.
It seems many other European clubs are doing the same.

 

[KujaIX]

I've been in Reno for two weeks.

Have we signed or sold anyone yet

 

[Massaro94]

He really didn't. Even his supposed change-in-position did not alter his game.

I would bring up stats, not because I'm wedded to them, but with the invariable "yah huh" "nuh uh" that is the history of our interactions, I offer them to proffer some sort of objective facts to ground our discussions in some sort of shared reality. Of course, limited as they are in this sport, considering football does not feature clean scoring averages and other hallowed statistics found in American sports.

Adli was linked with many European clubs, including clubs like Ajax and Napoli, so other European clubs seem to disagree with your notions.

 

[Massaro94]

Rafa and Puli will love playing with Modric and other players who have a brain

Too bad rafa doesn't have a brain

 

[Ryo]

Once the working out vid is posted it’s always downhill for a player

The workout vids only work if it's after an achievement. Like Okafor getting slimmed up in Napoli by Conte's regime.

These ones are that "one last plea" videos to show your current employers that "I can still put in the effort", usually after dropping the ball for the n-th time.

 

[Ryo]

Theo started his training:

Too fucking late, he should've started 2 seasons ago.

 

[Massaro94]

Fiorentina, who’s more competent than us, somehow also missed the fact he transcended their midfield

Tbf adli was amazing in this game (came on in the 89th minute)

 

[Massaro94]

Someone should show perez that useless stat where adli was ahead of kroos.

 

[Balo45]

I think the whole “serie a completely sucks” thing is so overblown by people who just want to feel smart for knowing that Milan can’t compete with the richest clubs. No league can compete with England, even Madrid and Bayern are scared of the epl trajectory. But after that serie a is a good league rn, there are good players here, the teams do well in Europe recently, and after England it’s easily the most competitive league by far. Yes there are dinosaurs that severely hold back the ceiling but other leagues have problems too.

There is absolutely no reason Milan can’t compete in Italy regularly and aim for CL knockouts every season, we absolutely have enough resources to do that. Now whether or not we trust the people running the club to do that is a separate question, but in terms of capability we absolutely can do that. Nobody here is smarter than everyone else for recognizing Milan isn’t one of the richest clubs anymore lol.

Before someone gets salty about this, I’m not coming at anyone specifically, and don’t box me into the ultra positivity box either. Milan absolutely has a ceiling but we can grow in our own environment, we don’t have to be so bitchy about everything always. I have low expectations for next season but there’s definitely a world where we bounce back and shoot into the CL again. That’s much better than the banter era, it’s not nearly as gloomy as you’d think coming here and reading this place every day.

i wouldn't put much weight on these rumors as i find this highly unlikely, but if it indeed were true, maybe he's not as good as we expected? maybe if we sell him now we can recoup 80% of what we spent rather than wait a year and sell him only for 50% of the cost? if selling Gimenez increases our budget to a point where we can bring a guarantee like Osimhen, then by all means sell... Gimenez does not seem like he has innate talent and seems very replaceable

the sporting decisions Milan has made since Zlatan has joined have been really, really questionable. from the coach to the players chosen...i read somewhere that last year zlatan announced we were close to signing 4 players and that was even before we announced fonseca? that's very indicative of what a mess the sporting situation was like, if true


it would be nice if Tare or Allegri gives us an idea of what kinda squad they intend to build here or what their objectives are.... at every club, in every sport, when a new important recruit takes place in management, they always announce their intentions & vision to the fans upon starting their new adventures.. i'm not entirely sure why they're still leaving us fans in the dark... especially after selling Reijnders after such a bad season, after they said no sacrifices would need to be made due to our finances being in order at the end of the season... the silence is deafening and i think it reflects their guilt for such a bad season

this lack of basic and minimal communication just makes the situation even more irritating for the fans

 

[The Cat]

We haven't. We just need a replacement for jovic/abraham. Highly doubt gimenez will be on the market even

 

[Balo45]

I’m not sure we’ve completely given up on him or if this is just media speculation. Allegri hasn’t had a single training session with any of the players. We absolutely need a striker(maybe 2 tbh) and maybe they’re just taking us targeting forwards as “allegri hates giminez.” I wanna see how it plays out.

 

[Hitman]

naturally, Gimenez would be our starting striker after investing 35m in him

only reason we'd want to sell now is if we have a better option in mind to be a starting striker

like @The Cat mentioned, we need to sign at least 2 strikers to replace Tammy & Jovic and I can't see those 2 operations costing less than 20m (wages inclusive)

 

[Samaldinho]

Attempt:

Scudetto season understandably produced stans of players, and in the meantime club has deteriorated through a combination of factors. Many of those factors are down to absolute garbage decision making at club management level. People cling to those players because they loath the current management so much. You and others seem to primarily blame our "stars" for this, despite the environment at the club.

And current management sacked the most stanned Milan person of all time.

I'm trying to put any player attachment behind me myself. It has lead nowhere, and we're not likely to stop selling our best performers anytime soon.

I just hope to see a winning Milan rise from the ashes, with whatever means necessary.

The problem is taking how people thought about a project and trajectory under one ownership group and management and applying those opinions as if those people hold those same thoughts about a different ownership and management--they conflate the two, hence the confusion.

 

[Balo45]

Allegri is an old school coach too. That line of thinking was often let’s rack up goal scorers because we will need them throughout the season. Beppe does this at inter and keeps stacking inters bench with veterans

 

[grandeacm2]

If that’s “sucking up,” it’s the kind that actually helps. At least it promotes getting in extra reps, setting a tone, building good habits and maybe even boosting morale.

You want real sycophant energy? Driving to Jersey to buy throwback jerseys for your teammates. Looks cute on IG, but let’s not pretend that’s pushing anyone to improve.

Saying ''look I'm doing everything to improve my performance'' is just defending yourself from criticism.
A real professional doesn't make excuses for his underperformance. He instead starts peforming and shuts up the critics in the pitch.

And you cannot defend him suggesting to buy Vasquez from Genoa to management. You just can't.

They have no obligation to tell everyone our transfer targets though. Letting the cat out of the bag only serves the team we're buying from to ask for more money, making transfers that much more difficult.

It also helps rival teams (and even teams from overseas aka Newcastle) that do shit scouting to come in and poach players that we are negotiating for, just because Milan want them, so they must be good.

So I don't think working in silence is the worst thing out there. Tare and Allegri have their vision, and I trust them as professionals enough to not do stupid things like Fonseca grabbing the likes of Emerson Royal when we had Calabria and Florenzi (before he got injured) and a pressing need to find a Theo backup last season.

The only ones acting like they’re smarter than everyone else are the ones preaching “competence” like it’s some cheat code that magically overrides structural reality lol.

Nobody here is smarter than anyone else for recognizing Milan doesn't have the most experienced ownership/management lol.

 

[finnishhacker]

Someone should show perez that useless stat where adli was ahead of kroos.

The only stat adli is ahead of cross would be if we ranked them by their last name

 

[sheva]

I will post it once again . Some make fun of him that he is analyzing statistics of his play . He also have a personal video analyst to improve his play . It is a player who knows why he is here .

Gimenez discusses importance of faith, 'Breakfast Club' and working with Ibrahimovic

Santiago Gimenez has revealed why faith is so important to him, and also shed light on what Zlatan Ibrahimovic is like.

sempremilan.com

At Feyenoord, at the beginning, when we created this Breakfast Club, there were two or three of us and, in the end, when I left, almost the whole team came to train before breakfast. For now at Milanello I’m alone, but little by little I’ll attract someone else.”

Oh, sweet summer child

Our veterans are more interested in their rap albums, beating hookers on the weekend, or openly weep in the SD's arms so he'll release them from the club

“At that point he told me: ‘Have faith’. So this stayed with me and that same night I went to take a bath, I turned off the lights and sat in the tub and that’s when I felt the connection with God. It was a difficult moment. I prayed for half an hour.

“I had my eyes closed and I see as if a torch was shining on me. I open my eyes because I got scared and there was nothing. And that’s when I understood that He was with me. I think his message was: ‘I need you here in football’.

Guy is a literal @Soldier_of_god

Why didn't Ryan coogler cast him in Sinners? This is like a testemant of some religious person from a Louisiana backwater church

The we’re going to dominate CL thing was never true, but the captain hindsight and grass is always greener takes on here are equally annoying. “I would have sold Theo/maignan two years ago” lmao what a stupid take, idc if anyone comes at me for that it’s stupid. Or the people who say Milan cannot possibly try to hold out for more money bcz we’re not an epl team that’s the way things are!! Meanwhile Dutch and Belgian clubs ask for 40 mil for one year proven players, or German Europa league clubs hold out for 70+ mil.
