Suma said Musah requested to leave because Atalanta play more games and so he believes he has more chances to play, Morata and Pobega are gone and the money will be put on next year books, playing with 352 means we didn't need anymore a striker like Giroud
Oh Musah.
He is really not that bright after all.
The ST thingy is just coping after we failed to secure one.
I am not mad though.
Not to get anyone is far better than just to get any one.

Legit?
I would have to see the team

So

Let’s see

Donarumma
Bellanova…… bastoni…Calafiori…dinarco
Barella……..tonali……..locatelli/ricci
Fabbian
Kean………….retegui

I think this is pretty much the best team

Other solid players are
Biunguorno, orsolini, rovella, ruggeri, Pellegrini

That’s is maybe making top 4 just.
I think actually Italy see in pretty solid shape but lacking in star power… besides Donnarumma and maybe Barella, I can’t say anyone else is world class

At this moment, it's not a case of whether or not we can buy the San Siro and renovate it into a modernized version of itself that meets the standards for modern football.

The Italian bureaucracy has fucked us over so many times by stringing us along so many years that even if we bought the stadium from the municipality now, there's a HUGE chance that we cannot even renovate the damn thing after September 11th 2025 due to it becoming a World Heritage site. It's THAT damn old. Sala is battling legally against his own government to ALLOW the stadium to be rennovated, just in order to sell it.

Personally, I think it's already too late. There's too much opposition within the government and in the public that will make any form of fixing up the San Siro nearly impossible.

We would be left with a useless hunk of a stadium that cannot be modernized and will continue to crumble and decay year on year until it gets to the point where the damn thing cannot be used for sporting purposes and is left to stand there like the Colosseum. How will you earn your gate receipts then?

Better to build a new stadium on private land with no restrictions on construction, renovation or refurbishment later on down the line. The culture of Milan lies with the Club and the people who create and developed it, not with the Stadium. The Stadium became iconic because of the teams that played in it and the experience it gave the fans. Those experiences can be replicated elsewhere. It's the fans that are the most important.

If that Stadium can no longer sustain it's purpose, to be a safe and comfortable place for fans to cheer on their team, then it's time to replace it with something which can fulfil that purpose.

This has less to do with finance bros than you think mate.

The problem is that we can't be too ruthlessness when going for private land. Police, transport - especially public transport, environmental regulations etc offer so many opportunities for wrenches to be thrown in the whole thing.

We need to play along for now

There is no logic Galliani who is 81 years old to comeback . I could understand if he was younger but at that age no reason . Better to try to find someone well connected but younger .
Didn't they say they wanted him as a consultant?
He'd be more of a Baresi figurehead than anything else.

Tonali? Great b2b with tough mentality who is a staple at newcastle

Bastoni great in the air, good leadership skills compared to his age (look at Gabbia for example), with very good ball control and can handle himself in the attacking front (what pavlo wishes he'd be

He's a 80m player if man city bids for him

True id definitely add Bastoni in there as a top, world class player.

Tonali? Never really rated him. I don’t think he ever ends up playing for a truly elite club

From Nkunku press conference .

" ... What did you feel when you heard about AC Milan?

"The first time I heard about AC Milan was when I had my first contact with the sporting director. I didn't think too much about it; everything was perfect for me to come here."

What's your favorite role?

"I like playing as an attacking midfielder. Then it depends on the formation and how it's interpreted. The coach will decide, I can't wait to play."

How are you? Are you ready yet?

"I'm fine. I started training with the team these days. I can't wait to be ready for the next match."

What went wrong in London?

"I think everything was perfect when I arrived, but then I got injured and was out for many months. I was really eager to return, and then I had another muscle problem. I was fine in my second year, but then the coach made other decisions. I'm just the same player who scored twice in Bergamo."

How many goals do you want to score?

"I don't know how many I'll do. If I do more than 15, it will mean I've done well. We'll see at the end of the season."

Here at Milan you found many French people...

"It's important to have four players I already know here; they'll help me. They know the league and the city, and they'll be important on and off the pitch. The important thing is to build a strong connection with all my teammates."

How will your speed impact Serie A? What do you think about the partnership with Leao?

"I have to adapt to the team and the league. Rafa and I have similar characteristics. He's a great player, I know what he's capable of, let's hope we can do well together."

What do you think of the other forwards in the squad? Who do you think you'd get along with best?

"I think we have a great squad with many strong forwards. Everyone needs to bring their skills to the team. I can adapt to what the coach asks and then do what he asks of me."

What impression did Allegri make on you?

"A good impression. I spoke with him before signing. My goal is to adapt quickly to the team, train, and get to know this new environment."

You played for PSG with many former Serie A players...

"They all have the same mentality, that is, they're all set to win. They all want to win trophies and cups."

You've played many roles. Which one would you be best at?

"I'm competitive, I know what I want, which is to be the best version of myself. I can give a lot to this team, I just have to work hard every day."

Is there a Milan player you look up to?

"I enjoyed watching Ronaldinho and Kaka. I spoke to Thiago Silva about Milan, which is the best team in Italy. I can't wait to show off my skills."

Has Inter approached you in the past?

"People were reading about this, but I haven't spoken to anyone at Inter. When my agent told me about Milan, I didn't even think twice."

How can Serie A improve you?

"I have to get to know her better, I have to adapt."

At Milan you'll find Pulisic and Loftus-Cheek, who also played at Chelsea and are doing well at Milan...

"I made my choice on my own; I don't pay much attention to what's going on around me. I learned a lot at Chelsea. What can I bring here? It depends on the manager's requests."

Have they told you what the Milan derby is like?

"I know the derby. I don't know the Milan derby very well, but I spoke to some teammates about it and they told me it's the match."

At Milan you're at the center of the project compared to Chelsea...

"I want to be competitive and win trophies, that's my goal. I want to improve in every training session."

How do you assess your career?

"I want more. I'm competitive, I want to achieve my goals. I always want to improve, I'll give it my all."

How exciting will it be to play at San Siro?

"It'll be a great feeling. When I played here, I beat Italy. I felt a great atmosphere. I can't wait to discover this stadium."

- Nkunku's press conference ends here. ..."

How Allegri does not know how to use him when he spoke with him before signing ?

Maybe he does not mean literally that but that he will figure out the exact spot for him .

What do we expect our losses to be for the fiscal year associated with this current 25/26 season? No CL, so we lose out on approximately 60M in revenue, right?

Reijnders was sold to cover last year’s losses and we wound up with a few million in profit if I understood correctly.

Now, for this season we should be expecting a loss (no CL), but we have several players out on loan that we will probably try to cut deals with the teams to exercise the options in the current fiscal year to offset our losses…?

Bullshit. You always need a striker like that in the squad. Keeping Gimenez is fine, but not getting another (big) CF was a failure. We will suffer needlessly against low blocks.

Saying this after a few training sessions with Allegri means it is true. Allegri is insane. Leao is rhe CF.

It’s funny to pick out one season and be like look at what happened once in the midst of Milan winning 12 major trophies and not the bullshit smaller clubs count as major trophies 🤣
Two seasons... it was 2 straight seasons of mid-table finishes. And it wasn't even down to injuries, so you can imagine how bad things were.

Sometimes management just gets shit wrong, even with deep pockets and legendary players.

I mean, technically CAM and SS are just a couple yards difference on the pitch... :taphead:
And if Nkunku prefers to playmake, it's fine so long as Rafa, Chrisian and Santi finish off those chances.
Nkunku has proven that he can convert chances himself.

I actually have a pretty good feeling about our attack this season.
