The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Il grande Milan]

Suma said De Winter is a better player than Thiaw and Jashari than Musah, if we wanted we would have easily sold Saele for 30 million, when you get the opportunity to buy a player like Nkunku you do it then the coach has to find the right formula, Inter wanted Nkunku but it is forbidden to say Inter beffata, Allegri is convinved that Bartesaghi can play in the 3 at the back

De Winter is worse than Pavlovic, it's gonna be the 100th "hate to say I told you so"-moment in a few weeks/months.

42 million. I know he is baby for cb but I think it was insane sale

When you are planning on it a few weeks/months in advance, do you really “hate” to say it?

 

[Ashish]

Also by freezing out Adli there is a small chance that he will get it by winter, even 1-2m for him would be plusvalenza at that point.

Naah he is too dumb. God what a fucking disaster.

Malick Thiaw was an amazing player. Gave an assist in cl game when midget cbs and dm where getting dunked on. Made copious amount of mistakes for 2 years and gave us 42 million.

All joking aside excellent business instead of this idiot

Just realized that we no longer have a single African player in our squad.

I actually have a feeling, that he could prove to be one of the most impactful signings of the season, if he get's playing time.
He is really athletic for a 1.91 guy, and has good technique on the ball (none of our CB's comes remotely close).
Factor in, that he is an insane header (he was in the 99th percentile of winning aerial duels), I think he has some characteristics, from which you can mold/build an incredibly good CB.

bitch ass boban finally did something right

 

[Milan2012]

Honestly ill admit i havent been the biggest Leao fan in the past couple of seasons, but with Allegri shifting him more central Im actually excited to see how he does. The talent was always there, but inherently I think the modern winger is a two way player. Either that or your output is so good that youre allowed the leeway as a luxury player. Now even if he has the same output as last season I wouldnt care. The team wont suffer as much when hes having an off game.

Algerian Olmo . Boban would be happy .

This is a really interesting analysis of elite wingers, and shows Leao is probably the best of them if you ignore his shit defensive contribution. Allegri wants to get the positive while completely negating the negative. That's the key point in the tactical changes we're seeing this season.

torn between wanting to see Italy fail and rooting for Gattuso

 

[Pippo]

Still having trouble comprehending how thiaw was sold for almost as much as Thiago Silva and Ibra combined.

Same here. Sad thing to see no Milan players in the Italy squad.
Italy playing well tbh!

[Graeco]

are Reijnders and Pulisic leaders? lol. I think last season would suggest this team has no leadership and I find them shoehorning Mike as the leader bizarre given that

its pretty dumb to suggest Leao hasn't spent time to improve, he has been inconsistent lately but obv he has improved since his time at the club

I don't need to put myself in place of anyone, once Ibra was off the pitch his influence died. When he was on the field, the team was strong. When he was off, they fell apart. Another reason why I don't respect Pioli as a coach, he failed to hold that group steady when Ibra wasn't around

Trying to praise Pioli about overcoming all these things and then shitting on Leao in the same post is one of my favorite things here given the only reason he has any sort of reputation is purely on Leao, the Scudetto and CL runs don't happen if not for him catching fire

I don't know why people use Maldini as some glue figure, there were plenty of meltdowns under his regime. Players and coaches are the ones who bring leadership because they are on the field come match day, everything else is window dressing. That much should be clear by now

I think people misinterpret that whole twitch thing. First off it's probably a good thing if hes hanging out at his house in his free time and not going partying like most footballers. People for years mentioned how much better a character Theo is because he doesn't make rap music when in reality we see now what he was. I think its just hes being exposed more publicly and could do/say something damaging to the club

I'm not comparing him to Vini, but you ask anyone who routinely watched Vini last season he was pretty bad. He will have those moments where he puts up numbers but because of the hot and cold nature of the role his overall play was poor. People speak with pure vitriol about Leao's last two seasons yet his numbers are pretty good for a winger, he has those moments even tho his overall play has struggled

Obviously he will never be the classic CF, but imo hes pretty tapped out as a winger. He could go up a bit but truly for him to reach another level he needs to add a different dynamic to his game. I don't know why you try to discredit Allegri, his style is purely pragmatic and his resume speaks for itself. He has seen plenty of players reach a different level in his tenure

My concern is based on the fact that the main thing he needed to bring his game, as a winger, up was goal scoring, or at least shooting accuracy. At CF, we’re going to be relying on what has been his weak spot, and likely miss out on him being as influential doing what he has been traditionally excellent at.

Obviously, this isn’t a prediction. We’ve seen such changes in position and system pay off… for example, Henry the CF at Arsenal was an order of magnitude upgrade on the Henry playing on the wing at Juve.

But, I’m nervous about it.

I actually really liked that winger writeup/analysis!

 

[Vlad]

Absolute state of gattuso and italy.
They wont even finish second in the group.
They should just ban football in italy.

 

[nonsonoqui]

I'm happy we did that but I think reaching the CL final is a superior achievement, not to mention they did better than us in both Serie A and Coppa Italia.

Glad some fans are satisfied with individual matches and can brag about it even though we failed to even qualify to the Conference League.

It’s funny how these things work.

Inter reached the CL Final and were annihilated, humiliated, and humbled. 5-0 is a historic embarrassment. That’s what people will remember. In Serie A they blew it as well with seconds left. That’s what people will remember.

My thing is if you play the Final you got to win it. No one apart from Inter fans ultimately cares or remembers how well you did against Bayern and Barcelona to get there.

If you’re going to collapse like that it’s better to do that in the semis.

We are better even in that .

 

[Mr. Anonymous]

I'm convinced management (and some in this forum) had no clue how good Jonathan David was/is.

Could have had him instead of Gimenez.

Another miss.

Ironically, he is also known for buying shirts to the team, so he can fill the shirt slinging business vertical outside San Siro as well

How does he appear crippled even in the promotional pics

 

[ROSSONERI7]

It all make sense now

 

[Ryo]

Rino is doing great.
Making the best out of a shitty team.

 

[Beppe]

Its not that shitty. They are far away from their best days, but this is a decent team.
What is shitty is that there are no Milan players

 

[Massaro94]

Just realised both Sarri and Gasperini are coaching the roman clubs.

The derby is gonna be lit.

Also the race for top 4 could be the tightest we've ever seen

Milan, Inter, Juve, Napoli, Lazio, Roma,

Then you throw in Atalanta and Bologna.
