Starting to drool from the notion of a midfield that consists of

xhaka/fofana
jahari/Ricci + Modric(/adli?)​

If they could have gotten the basics done then there would not have been a banter era.

Maldini also lost a lot of talent and lumbered us with some dead weight. Hence why in his last season we finished 5th and he was unceremoniously given the boot from the yanks a year remove from winning the scudetto.
This management lost/sold Tonali, Tiji, and lumbered us with Musah, Morata, RLC, Chuk and Emerson Royale and finished 8th.

Therefore, Maldini being given the boot had very little to do with the players he "lumbered" us with, or his/our 5th place finish. If so this current management's fate would have been the same or worse Maldini's.

(BTW - we officially finished in 4th, don't know why you keep insist on saying 5th like we weren't in CL the next year)

Ricci-Milan.

Following the very recent contacts between the parties, the two clubs are very close to a full agreement.

The figure we are working on is 22m € + 3m €. Last details to iron out.


I guess this guy is the alternative to Javi?

Modric Ricci Jashari in, Bennacer Reijnders Musah out is a decent rebuild job

It’s unclear who is an alternative to whom.

It seems like we will go for at least 2 midfielders apart from Modric.

Musah leaving would open up possibilities.

Get Pobega out and bring in Xhaka and we are cooking. Adli also gone.

If we want more Italians they would have to be pretty young and promising so Ricci already part of Italy's national squad, and Leoni the most acclaimed young CB in Italy fit the bill. They don't have to start right away but would be members of a deep bench initially.
What do you think of Ricci? Probably you are the only one who’s actually seen him play

Allegri, not Leonardo was the coach the night of THAT performance against Barca in 2012.
The superstars don't always have to be the favourite players in the team. Often, the lesser talented players that give their all are more relatable.
Which performance are you talking about? The 2-0?
Antonini didn't play that match

I can understand liking somebody like Abate despite his defficiency in attack, but Antonini was just a disaster who could make a huge mistake that could lose us points at any time.
Really horrible defender.

Personally for me Antonini never deserved to even play for Milan.
I don't really understand why players should be praised for ''giving their all'', especially when they play at a club like at Milan where they usually are getting paid a couple of millions a season at least. For that money not only would I give it my all but I would carry the other players' bags and I would even cut the grass at Milanello.

Maybe some people also self-insert into players like Antonini and think ''that could be me'', but personally if I played that badly I would return my salary to Milan out of shame and personally apologize to the fans.

In wiki it says for men
Albania 176.6
Kosovo 179.5
Israel 177

So the heights seem comparable

Ricci + Xhaka + Modric + Jashari would indeed be a midfield overhaul.
Add to that Fofana + RLC (assuming he's staying after Tare's words), and it's a solid group. Not sure who replaces Reijnders's role in terms of attacking output. Don't know enough about the Jashari kid, but apparently he's more of a "regista"? Modric and Xhaka have never been big goal contributors, while Ricci operates from deep as well.

If we're getting Ricci, I don't think we need Xhaka. They are very similar players and operate in the same space. I like the depth we would have, sure. But I do think we would also need an attacking profile out of midfield. Ideally, RLC is moved on and replaced with an attacking minded midfielder. But not too hopeful of that after Tare made it seem like he's the second coming of Seedorf.
I saw Jashari highlights and he looks a lot like what @brk is trying to convince us Bennacer is

Definitely a more deeper lying playmaker type rather than an attack 8 like Reijnders

Brugge is already looking for a player who can replace Jashari. They have already understood that Jashari will leave, they are open to letting him go, obviously for the right offer. For the right offer they keep telling me 35 million as a fixed base

"Theo was never as good as Antonini that one time."

How do people wake up, brush their teeth, go to work, live a normal life thinking some of the most insane things ever thought by a person and his brain? Incredible. Some people really can't cope with loss unless they commit to delusions. It's sad.
OMG who said that? :eek:
Bet it's second star :o
Being a Leao hater automagically dissolves IQ

Please only sign Jashari and DO NOT add Ricci to the mix, or we would get twin-shortie with the exact same of face, height, and hairstyle 😩
