Crystal Palace insists on Andoni Iraola.

Offer of more than 7-8M (includes bonuses) in salary per year until 2030 + a high transfer budget.

Milan offers 4-5M per year until 2029 (+1).

The final decision will be up to the Spanish coach, it depends on Iraola.

The offers have been made.

Idk who this guy is or if it’s a joke. Maybe why they are in Vienna :lol:

Ibrahimovic and Cardinale in talks with Ralf Rangnick: the idea is to entrust him with the role of coach-manager


Now this kind of name is more fitting for Ibra's calibre

Andoni Iraola’s style of play is defined by intense, aggressive, high-block pressing and rapid, vertical attacking transitions. Heavily influenced by Marcelo Bielsa, his tactical blueprint relies on tireless work rates, hybrid man-zonal pressing triggers, and fluid positional rotations that create organized chaos.

Iraola does not demand low-tempo passing or meaningless horizontal possession. Instead, he relies on quick transitions and fast movement up the pitch.

Speed of Play: His teams consistently rank among the fastest in the league at advancing the ball forward, prioritizing rapid strikes over prolonged, intricate build-ups.
Fluid Structural Shifts: In possession, his teams often adapt to a 352
shape. The full-backs push high up the pitch into the attacking flanks, while a central midfielder frequently drops deep to form a back three, providing security against counter-attacks.
I saw the word "pressing" and I am ready to forget the beauty of #AllegriBall . :proud:

Everything points to Leao leaving and I have no ill will towards him compared to Benchdeers.

The injury messed him up and we might as well salvage what we can.

Is definitely the one buying an Albanian Swiss. No doubt lol

So yes tare.

Do you think sacking him was a bit harsh?

But he should have known that we needed immediate quality. Jhashari was not the answer

Cocklani probably thought oh wait jhashari is 20 ish. We can profit via capital gains instead of buying xhaka. Yet xhaka would have got us top 3 let alone top 4
I mean how can we know for sure what really happened?
Most logical approach is trusting the money.
Cardinale is paying money so his best interest is to put people in charge that protect his investment.
So until i see solid proofs that suggest otherwise, Ibra is the least to blame for last season.

My source also asked to Tare what happens if Cagliari scores an own goal and we qualify? Tare replied that all of them would still leave, Allegri would have resigned he said
Damn we could have had our cake and eat it too!

Absolutely disgusting
Why did I ever start following this shit club? 😭
This was reported here in this group that day. Then, it was just a summit between Cardinale, Calvelli and Ibra and it was later reported that day that Furlani was on the chopping block. The same footage.
Then, these journos reported that Cardinale gave full backing to Allegri.
Now that it is proven that they were wrong about Allegri, they are changing the story to say that the meeting was to discuss Iraola.
Probably next week they will report that Iraola wasn't even in the discussion and it was Palladino through and through, and how Galliani recommended him to Gerry.

Am I crazy, or do we need to bring in an entire new defense to play a 4231?

You can argue if you’ve got your Italian rose colored glasses on that Gabbia and Bartesaghi are anything more than 4th and 3rd choice players respectively, but I don’t think we want any part of Pavlovic or Tomori in a 4 man backline and Aethekhame is at best a backup right now.

We also need to bring in 2CFs + Camarda, and a Leao replacement likely. Then, we need to figure out CAM and the midfield spots.

It’s… we are facing a likely overhaul.

Prepare for the worst guys. We've been in these type of situations too many times before lol

Just do not get excited. Because he could go to palace, and we could get Lopetegui/italiano

You are assuming competence.

Why keep Ibra? There’s a million potential explanations: Cardinale is incompetent, Cardinale is star struck and persuaded by Ibrahimovic, he likes the way Ibrahimovic and his wife fuck in front of him on the cuck chair.

Assuming people are making the correct decisions because there is money involved is naive. I run multiple businesses and have all the interest in the world in protecting and growing my capital as guess what?! I have made stupid fucking decisions multiple times.

I think we’re looking at at least 10 departures and 10 arrivals this summer

I can’t think of a single player right now from the squad we should keep at all costs. They can all fuck off. Either not good enough or with an entitled attitude

Como have 2 absolute baller 4 at the back CBs?

This whole “we can’t play 4 at the back” agenda is ridiculous. Of course we can. You just need a coach who knows who to keep the team compact and press higher up the pitch
Como have the best defensive record in the league.
That means their CBs are ballers in a back 4.

In comparison our CBs can't stop shipping goals when they play 4 at the back (we ship over 1 goal every game we played 4 at the back in the last 2 years) and need an extra defender at all times just to ALMOST be as good as Como's CBs.

Those are facts by the way.

Are you familiar with the idea that a group is better than the sum of its parts?
