In that article he says that after a stellar first season and a shit second one, RLC will be keen for a redemptive third.

Also, that he likes to talk about meditation and read books by Dalai Lama.
He shouldn't medidate while on the pitch, though.

What makes you think he’s not the most intelligent fella? He seems like an introvert who’s always licking his wounds but I never got dumb from him.

I’m indifferent to him staying or going. If Allegri can fashion something out of him then cool. If not, we have bigger issues to sort out on the team.


You tell me...haha Not much of an introvert in this interview either.

Pretty sure he hasn't learnt Italian yet either, which I always suspected would be the case.

Interestingly, in another interview he says Conte said his best position might be number 9. Think he took that on a little too much when he joined us because that's basically where he played in his first season..

Benny is another player Milam should absolutely be playing HARDBALL with...

Tell him he's either SOLD, or he rots in the stands.

After the way he treated the club to force himself out, and then to not even be bought out... Nah fuck that. Find a BUYER or see ya
he's just going to rest up for the African Cup of Nations coming up :lol:

The fall from grace of Theo has been one of the saddest and disturbing chapters in Milan history. As with many others here Theo was my favorite player, his legendary runs from the left side, at times thru the middle, were spectacular to watch and he was legit one of the top LBs in the world.

Has lost his speed, got heavier, seems disinterested, trots back instead of running, there's clearly something wrong with him. Could be personal, psychological, mental, but he's a shadow of the player we once loved and admired.
There is no place for sentimentality in football, nostalgia for past performances, if you don't produce, you're gone.

30 million is an excellent price for someone on his last year of contract that has steadily regressed, and I'll remember Theo for the years of pleasure that he gifted Milan fans.

Basically the want to up the base skill while at the cost of risky higher ceiling players.

Like the players we are linked they all have been pretty consistent these past seasons, but that is their limit, bar Modric because of his obvious age.

I can see and somewhat agree, but we also need to make some risky moves or you cannot find the world class talents otherwise.

Would have been another Pellegrino type gamble if we went for it.

But he's tall and technically a DM and has the name, so AC Nepotism fans would have eaten it right up
His father though was something truly special.

Or we could renew him and cement him in our team as the leader. That's how you win.

everywhere and nowhere.
Just gonna say it... Longo has been beating Romano and Moretto to Theo news this entire time, by a few hours.

He's not close to them in terms of reliability, but he clearly has the inside track here. He might be worth keeping more of an eye on this summer. Perhaps he and Tare are buds?
