We don't look good in any situation. We're navigating the open sea without radar, without a compass, without anything. We're drifting with the tide and hoping for the best. That's how it looks from the outside.

How they can let themselves be humiliated by Bruges like that again is just ridiculous.

This club is simply finished. With that, everything has been said.

or our people are egoistic pricks or incompetent, its funny how its so hard to get players for us, everytime takes so much time to sign player
It only feels like that for some. We even spent a pile of money in January.

Our problem isn’t getting players or that they take too long; it’s getting the right players.

Albertini: "You don't sign a Balon d'Or winner like Modric and an expensive coach like Allegri if you don't want to return to the very top"

very valid points that could make @Samaldinho and @mrki choke

the ambition is definitely there and very different from when we signed Fonseca, Emerson Royale and Morata

We reportedly offered what would be a transfer record for the Jupiter League, where Jashari plays. Jupiter League.

We move on.

To move on, you would need a plan B. As far as I know Milan, we don't have a plan B.

A reputable club would have given Bruges the middle finger back then and signed a player other than De Ketelaere, and would give Bruges the middle finger today and present another player. Instead, we are clueless.

With a little dignity, we would call Marotta and tell him to fist Bruges for Stankovic. Under Galliani/Moratti, that would have been possible.

How do you expect to get the "right player" if you drag the deal out too long and miss out? I’m not even a fan of the guy, but what if he is the "right player"? What’s the alternative? If you take too long, when exactly is the player supposed to train with the team so we can actually see if he fits the category of "right player".

This whole saga is silly

35m was already an overpay

There's nothing a player can do in the Belgian league to be worth that much or more

There's ligue 2 players that would be stars in Belgium

Surely we have alternatives in mind right?

Maybe they did fist Marotta also since rumored replacement was Alexandar Stankovic . Inter also is cleaning and selling before to buy .

Well our midfield is built poorly. We spent money and it was a mess this season often. We spent the money poorly. Lots have said this on this board too.

They already bought three players… they will have their Squad ready for the season while we are still thinking about Archie Brown…

I just hope our friendly results wont be good.
After last summer where we beat everybody and thought we will murder Serie A..we all know how it ended.
Mr Allenatore..just try everything you need to try...dont need to get results in those friendlies..get them in Serie A.

Grazie

And what kind of nonsense is it to terminate Sportiello's contract so he can go to Atalanta? When he still had six months left on his contract at Atalanta, we wanted him, but Atalanta wanted a €5 million transfer fee from us. How messed up are we? And then bring in Terracciano? What's wrong with us?

We can get xhaka and the Spanish kid for 40ish mil and we'd fix 2 profiles we lack

Vs 1 forehead that's only played in a pivot and is likely gonna struggle to play lone CDM. Unless we plan on making ricci a permanent starter there which would imply we need an offensively capable b2b and/or fullback

The guy doesn't even make up for our shortcomings in other areas w his playstyle or skillset like I don't get this hyper focus on him

I think Fonseca just struggled to connect with the more established players who left for International duty and historically struggled with Italian football

If you have him a team of unknown U23s like the summer friendliest it would have been a lot better

Tate scouting is limited to Albanians, so only other option is Xhaka

Albertini running interference for Red Bird.
Modric is 40. Would getting Ballon 'D Or winner and my favorite player Ronaldo help AC Milan?

And let's not kid ourselves. Allegri is a coach who grinds out results by playing jihad football.

It's like writing your dad from college about fucking the village bicycle.

And let's be honest, 57.7 million for Reijnders is a disaster. And apart from €6 million, we'll never see most of the bonuses. It's such an incredibly bad deal.

The club is a clown show, a circus.

... well, I had to get that off my chest. Enough ranting. Holiday mode reactivated. The club isn't worth it anymore anyway.

This desire to constantly want to dump on your own club that some of you have, is insane to watch.

THEIR DIRECTORS LITERALLY IMPLIED THAT "WE CAN SELL HIM FOR MORE NEXT SEASON". Which is why they aren't selling now.
Well...good for them.

Atleast some clubs still know how to do business.

And Brugges have clrarly shown to be shrewd operators

This Brugge CEO, needs to be slapped left and right. What a fucking son of a bitch.

I hope Jashari fucks his daughter.
Wrong!
Tare the clown is the one who should be slapped for wasting the fans time.

Brugge CEO is potentially doing us a favor by potentially pricing us out from this overhyped fraud.

We've spent a lot on the wrong players and positions because algorithms were set to "opportunity".

We've not been cheap but we've looked like having no real plan or vision.

That's what happens when you hand the keys to the club to a bunch amateurs, then make them all master and chief. Then stand back and watch confusion reign.

This was a fuck up from the top because of their decisions. Upper and middle management because they were too busy fighting for supremacy and had no experience in their respective positions. Then the players put out were run into the ground and we lacked a real identity. Then some players simply checked out as the shit show plodded on...

Now this market is looking frustrating already after what was a ray of hope as we changed things up with Max and Tare.

When is our first preseason game?
