Its an all time jersey sales bro.

Did we fucked in the wrong era (commercially)?
I mean globalization is at an all time high and we've mostly sucked for the past decade and a half

When I was a kid, if anybody had a Milan shirt it was a knockoff 99% of the time. It was insanely hard to get a legit one unless you had somebody travel out of the country for you and spend like 1/5 of an average monthly wage on one. I'd wager that during our peak popularity a very small percentage of jersey sales were sold by official vendors

He fast and black.

And knows Serie A, gained a lot of composure at CB this season, and would likely be affordable for us.
LOL
What is his cost? Where the fuck does he play currently? I kinda remember his ass when at Torino. Fast and strong.

@NicoSchira: #Liberali, a 2007-born playmaker who is very much liked at Parma. His contract with Milan expires in one year, and renewal talks are currently at a standstill. That’s why he could be used as a makeweight to lower Parma’s asking price for Leoni. Negotiations are ongoing.
From what I have seen of Liberali I wouldn't have an issue giving him up, but of course he is too young to judge him

There is only 1 club who can budget and realistically challenge a treble and its PSG. They have it wrapped by december every year and then can focus and rest for CL.

Not even Real, Bayern, Barca , City and Liverpool expect a treble lol.

Do you really think American investment fund Oaktree is sad puppy eyes , because they lost some trophies in a record revenue season? How naive are you fella. They are laughing and drinking champagne rn! Inter cashed on big this season despite falling short on every trophy at the last finish lines, even losing cups and finals will bring cash in. Record UCL earnings, record match day gate receipts and they have settled the bond with private funding for another 5 years with some cheap interest.

Oaktree will be happy to see Inter getting QF's or semis as long it will bring money in. They are americans after all.

The worst part is missing all that UEFA money for us. Just watching how Juve and Inter swim in the money this year too while we had to sell Tijani . He played 1 game and City fans were mocking and told to pay another 55 millions to Milan lol.
I've been talking about the effects of budgeting and how it doesn't matter what the budgets are, since it's the results on the pitch that dictate whether a team has a good year or not financially.

Not sure what this spew of yours is suppose to be in reply to. But you do you I guess. Some fans need to vent.

Is he still good?!
Been at Monaco, mostly transitioned to CB this season and has played well. Modern defender. A little sloppy still, but no-nonsense. Would likely be able to get him under 30mil. Can cover at RB, too, of course, so he'd provide some flexibility tactically.

More than Calabria's loss of pace and looking like Tom trying to chase Jerry was him getting owned on high balls at the back post.

Not that confident but in a more defensive setup who knows.


He's going to have nightmares now that Dzeko is coming back to the league.

Kay Palli - Redbird has authorized Milan to spend upwards of 150M in the market this summer, after the sale of Theo Hernandez to Al Hilal.

Exactly.

I would bet that there were more jerseys sold in the past 20 years than the previous 80. And that’s the time we chose to fart in the direction of the wind.
I don’t have any data, but with the way things have been evolving, it feels.

On a positive note, ive been seeing a lot more Milan jerseys here in NY the past few years.
Even yesterday i saw an Opel one on a 14-15 yo

So six players at $25M each....
Or four players at $34M each if we can get Modric in for free and Xhaka in for anything under $14M

It is. But its easier to cook when your in mid season and majority of the other clubs are tired due to already playing a whole season. It's no different if the South American teams played a CWC in November and December after already playing 573672 games in their calendar year between all the different championships playoffs and Cup games.



Ligue 1 isn't a serious league. People sulking off PSG whove effectively killed off the league and the broadcasters don't even want to pay to show the league on their channels anymore.



Cycles. And tbh Brasilian or Argentine teams have always dominated the Libertadores. Back in the 60's/70's Argentinian clubs won 9 out of 11. And since 2000 only 4 other nations clubs have won the tournament since.

We had the old CWC cup in November December didn’t we.

Europe always won. I guess maybe that was also a bit skewed I guess

Love the positive optimistic idea behind this, but... Where are all the new players going to play seen as we literally have too many bang average players in pretty much every position?

I'd not read too much into anything written for a week or three...

I read yesterday btw about the holy water scandal of 1990 WC
Holy shit, I never knew Argentina drugged Brazil wtf, it was Branco I believe, they put tranquilizers in his water
Argentina are sooooooo dirty
The catalans of South America
Yeah, it was true. I remember Branco been criticised for talking about this right after the game. The media was claiming he was just making excuses for the defeat.

Branco was the best fullback I ever saw playing for the NT.:proud:

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
Gerry will pass.. the gift and Milan are forever.:love::love::love::love:
