The Rumour Commode L - Take the L

[Kmoney]

We could have had kvicha Julian i.e serious footballers...instead the former lb went and blew 60m on a rapper.

Even if we did… Furlani would have sold them after a season or 2 if they were that good

 

[Inas]

"In the coming hours" is no longer working. So let's do it "by the week"

Just shut up Moretto! You and your fellow journos no nothing about what's happening.

Loving this hypothetical "we should have signed player X bullshit".

Our whole management team was broken and clueless as fuck:
- Stupid ass salary cap thanks to which we lost Kessie and Dollar. AND we kept losing good players to competing clubs, like Thuram.
- Continuous failure to sign good players in must have positions - Giroud replacement, Theo replacement
- Continuous failure to sign coaches that fit our strategy - Glasner is ok, but is he "Cesc-like?"
- Easily selling our best players - Tonali, Deers
- Cherry on the cake - Furry interfering in the transfer market and making decisions over Allegri's and Tare's head.

The system we built was doomed to fail from day one.

 

[The Cat]

No doubt today will be more "closer" , "increasingly close"

Imagine the torture when we try to sign PLAYERS. long painful summer ahead, unless they move fast like fassone + mirabelli

"In the coming hours" is no longer working. So let's do it "by the week"

Just shut up Moretto! You and your fellow journos no nothing about what's happening.

Moretto lags behind this guy. Since @Edu-bY-A brought that source up, I'm following it too and everything this Mateo S guy reports today, Moretto reports the next day.

I'd keep an eye on him. Don't know where he has his infos from, but he's ahead of everyone else atm.

 

[Alo88]

Also, from Mateo S:

In these days the contractual aspects are being discussed and everything is being prepared to complete only the bureaucratic (legal) part. Milan and Glasner have agreed to delay the official (legal) announcement so that Milan's sporting director can first be "finalised."

Then there's MilanTMN, who's often also ahead of Mateo S or posting the same stuff at the same time. They seem to work together because sometimes they retweet their stuff. On June 8 he wrote:

Milan would have agreed a contract with Oliver Glasner until 2028 with an option for 2029, with a salary of 3 to 4 million per season. Importantly, it was Massimo Calvelli who negotiated this agreement.

Today, like Mateo S, he writes:

Many people have confirmed the same figures at the same deadlines. Glasner is only bureaucratic details away from becoming Milan's new coach, and as several have mentioned, he has already spoken with the board about planning and the transfer market. All that's missing is for them to decide on the football director/sporting director, in order to make the announcement and maintain a natural hierarchy.

Milan, Glasner increasingly close: a two-year deal ready, Rangnick remains the favourite for the technical area

La Gazzetta dello Sport confirms the rumours of the last few hours and doubles down on Milan's future. The Rossoneri club would have now identified Oliver Glasner as the primary candidate for the bench, with a two-year contract already prepared and an option for a third season. The salary would be between 3 and 4 million euros, therefore lower than Massimiliano Allegri's, whose agreement signed last May still needs to be resolved.

The signing, however, has not yet arrived. Gerry Cardinale wants to proceed following a precise path: first the appointment of the new head of the technical area, then the official confirmation of the coach. In this scenario Glasner remains a profile very much appreciated by the potential technical directors as well, and would have in Ralf Rangnick his main sponsor.

Contacts between the Austrian coach and Milan would have been judged positively by both parties. Glasner, fascinated by the possibility of working at San Siro, would have also turned down other proposals that arrived to his agent after the end of the Premier League season, including a recent one from Feyenoord.

Coming off his experience at Crystal Palace, which ended with a fifteenth place finish in the league but also with the conquest of the Community Shield, FA Cup and Conference League, Glasner is potentially preparing to tackle the fourth European league of his career after Austria, Germany and England. In Germany he had already made his mark by winning the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Cardinale and Massimo Calvelli would also have gathered positive impressions from their meetings with the coach, but the priority remains the choice of the head of the sporting area. Until the official decision, other options theoretically remain alive, though at this point they would be considered surprising.

Meanwhile Zlatan Ibrahimovic, a point of reference for the ownership despite having no defined role, has flown to Los Angeles to begin his stint as a pundit with Fox Sports during the World Cup. Rangnick will also be involved in the tournament as head coach of Austria, a national team that has offered him a contract renewal.

Despite no last-minute contacts with Milan, Rangnick remains at the top of the list to become the architect of the new Rossoneri project. The negotiation, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, revolves primarily around the sharing of strategies and alignment of intentions, rather than the possibility of bringing trusted figures into the club's structure.

Official announcements should not take too long, though completing all the pieces will require at least another week.

 

[The Cat]

It's taking long..but are we being impatient? Italian bearucracy is terrible as it is...there may be a whole bunch of germans/foreigners...work permits, properties, contracts etc...

I get the the impression there is a very much anti cardinale media from italy (rightfully so), which purposely makes it look like we are doing nothing

My source has been a couple of hours at Casa Milan, this is what is coming out


Our choice is now in favor of Rangnick and Glasner: a three-year project (or a 2+1 coach, it makes little difference) for a complete overhaul from the ground up. A sporting director will also arrive (Rangnick will be head of the technical area) and a head scout, plus a series of other figures who will work for them, including at youth and Futuro levels. Milan will be completely handed over to this structure, like restaurants or clubs. At the end of this construction process, Cardinale will stand aside and watch, as Ibrahimovic should. Ibrahimovic's war was (is) with Allegri; rather than being the one to lead AC Milan, Ibrahimovic can go back to his business, acting as a sort of Milan ambassador and perhaps showing up as little as possible

Announcements are expected between Friday and Monday. Of course, anything can change until the announcements are made, but this is the current position.

After the announcements, transfer market events will be considered.

The training camp at Milanello will be on Monday, July 13th, with training on the outdoor pitch like every year. It remains to be seen whether the project will be presented on that date (currently believed to be the case) or earlier.

Right... it only took him 4 years to realize that when you buy a club you either keep it running as it was or do a complete overhaul. 4 years wasted...

Does your source know if rangnick will definitely arrive?
There are some rumours he will renew with Austria

The fact that Calvelli is doing the negotiating and Ibra is out of it is good news. Not a calcio expert, although I'm sure better than Furlani, he's been a top executive in many areas and can tell a lot about a prospective hire by listening to what his plan is.

If Glasner has prepared a chart about tactics that he would use, like in the video shown a few days ago, Calvelli would understand what he's talking about while Cardinale would have no clue and probably bored to death.

I had never heard of Calvelli before but his curriculum speaks for itself and clearly the owner trusts him. Probably more tactful than Ibra and certainly not as egocentric.

I mean it sound fine to me. They want to hire the head of football before appointing the coach.

It’s the correct and sensible way to do a rebuild. Most importantly, looks like it’s being led by Calvelli and Cardinale and not by Ibra.

I just hope they get it over the line. Gerry seems to have finally woken up

The only role where his laziness can be tolerated is at CF. And he’s clearly not capable of playing there due to subpar movement, shooting, and heading

He’s a positionless player at the highest levels

I mean this is literally everything I wanted. Everything. The keys being given to Rangnick. Serious calcio from Glasner. Zlatan being reduced to a mascot. Long-term projectivity.

It’s as if they finally fucking learned all the right lessons.

I watch some matches with my friend who supports Arsenal and he wants Leao, thinks he will give them that dynamic they lack

So, I was at first a bit cautious about believing the Ibra sabotaged Allegri and Milan story, what with the phone tag with players and fisticuffs. Seemed fabricated in parts.

But now our source basically confirms it.

Dick move by Ibra.

I was pretty surprised when they hired Allegri to begin with given where Ibra stood with him

Thought he had swallowed his pride and was willing to put the club before his own petty agendas

Guess I was wrong lol

 

[jawz10]

The guy was 17 and a few months when he impressed last summer in pre season. Taking the leap to being a starter at a top team requires great character. To impress at such an age and not crumble proves he has a confidence that is rare.. Then he gets a decent amount of minutes in Serie B.

What do you want him to do at that age? Be ripping it up and scoring goals and getting assists in his role?

Without size and presence he can't be any good? Aren't there a long list of 6s with this build. Especially elite ones. Why is he getting minutes if he has literally nothing to his game. Let the kid develop.

You're describing to me concepts I'm well aware of. The question isn't that he be "ripping" it up and scoring goals and getting assists, rather, if thats not the expectation then what are you seeing that sets him apart?

He doesn't really do anything at a high-level from what I can see be that tackling, positioning, work rate, shooting, passing, pace, etc... he comes off as a mature player though, he doesn't seem overawed by the level as you mentioned in his pre season appearances. However, that to me isn't enough to make it in high-level football, its only enough to impress old Italian managers who value tactical aptitude over technical and physical gifts.

I remember watching Bryan Cristante in the primavera and saying he would play for gli' azzurri... avevo ragione. I remember seeing Locatelli in primavera and saying he would play for gli' azzurri... avevo ragione ancora. I don't really see it in Comotto, but I hope I'm wrong.

3rd time in 10 days the Fenomeno Leao has declared that he wants to leave. Unfortunately noone wants him in their teams. I would keep him in the stands until 2028 when his contact ends so he can finally shut the fuck up
