I mean, the last 8 years have been the worst historically for the Italian national team, but they still have a major trophy to show for it.

On the other hand, the last 8 years have been the best for England historically, and they have nothing to show for it.

When you get close, you gotta make it count.
Winning is for losers I guess...

But finishing second, third or forth is only a win when making love to a beautiful woman where I come from.

Not finishing at all, that's just waiting for the right time haha.

He and Messias infuriated me at the time. They weren't Milan quality and I wanted upgrades on both... Then we got RLC and ChuK lol.

Brahim has developed and grown, I'd welcome the kid back happily.

Source? I hope that is true , he is a much better (and cheaper) choice than Foden for example

We really need a tall physical holding midfielder who can also progress the ball like Rodri. That profile + someone like Rabiot would be immense
Why "someone like rabiot" when we literally have rabiot at home

Apparently, kostic is looking lethal.

Dont shoot the messenger. This is what Amorim and the management say.

Kid is talented I guess.

But I have never seen him vs quality sides or anyone really lel. Until then jury is out still.
He played for Partisan in the Serbian league where he scored 10 goals in 1010 minutes. I know it's not Serie A but he's too good for Milan Futuro. Unless Camarda explodes I see Kostic ahead of him right now.

One year older at 19 than Camarda, same height ot 6'2, I've never seen him play but everyone speaks highly of him. I assume they will both play in the friendly vs Celtic, maybe one half each, so we can compare the two.

Foden was the premier league player of the season in 23-24. Yeah, he’s been out of form since, but his level in those couples years was ballon d’or level. He scored 19 goals just in the league, as a midfielder.

Contract expiring in 2027, seems to need a change of scenery, I honestly think 40m could get the job done if the player is willing

He is overrated like all English players, inexperienced in Serie A, and will minimum ask for 8 millions a year. So yeah I think in this universe Brahim is the better choice.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
Batigol was my favourite player before R9
The hair was glorious! (n/h)
Batistuta at Fiorentina was an incredible player many of the goals he scored were unbelievable but they had to be in order to beat the defenders of his playing days. I would have loved Milan to sign him back in the day.

Eventually Milan got Rui Costa had they signed him with Batistuta just a few years earlier

Foden is a no-brainer. If anyone says otherwise, he just doesn’t know football.

If he is so good, how come he was a sub for the past 2 seasons and didn't even make it to this crap English team ? This ain't 2023 anymore

As a RW/SS I’d bring him back without any problem. The thing is we cannot be certain how Amorim is going to set up. Or how tactically flexible he will be when facing different opponents. Time will tell.

I agree with this. Hope it's just nerves.



Seems a little too early and desperate to be acting like this, no?

Does anyone know how he acted before?
We tried the disciplinarians and those failed too, the polished insider in Allegri also failed.

If you are trying to change culture and not be seen as too much of the foreigner you may go overboard at the start.
Also the team isnt fully there yet and its mostly young players.

Something to note but lets see how they take to pre and early season matches. Lets see who he calls up and who gets to play and if the style and development of the younger ones is coming along.

Honestly icardi has to be respected. His numbers at inter when they weren’t as strong is insane.

And then he played really well with gala too

I don’t mind him as a backup.!

Certainly taken a dip and that could be partly to down to the player himself but Pep is known to start fiddling and souring on players that were doing well previously - that has been his MO at City outside of his spine.
England left home him and Palmer only to play how you saw them play yesterday - two best attacking players chasing shadows and other attackers on the bench.

The money is a big issue, if we are still worrying about the wage bill and I would say Brahim is a better creator / team guy but Foden is a baller and will score much more imho. Could easily put up more goals than Reijnders did for us.

All media report that Zaniolo's agent was at Casa Milan again yesterday. Two of our targets are rumoured to go elsewhere: the Bosnian close to Atalanta for 30 million and the Greek to Dortmund, while prime choice Foden seems to be a long shot based on what Man City would ask for him and his salary demands.

In this equation Zaniolo looks to be plan D but an affordable one. He's currently not training for Udinese, sent a doctor's note that the club didn't believe and have threatened the player that if he doesn't show up by the 22nd will be taken off the roster, basically Origied. So if any move for us or others would be pretty quick.

The contract of 1.5 million is effectively low after the season he had but instead of holding out could have demanded a transfer. As of now in Serie A Juventus is the other club linked to him, but they have quite a few overpaid players that they want to unload before they start buying.

There are several question marks on Zaniolo, one is if his fine season at Udinese is a one off or if he continues in his good form, ditto for his healthy season, one of the few ones in his career. Has the attitude improved making him less of a cunt?

The dispute with Udinese might be something provoked by his agent but playing for Amorim some stuff won't be tolerated and I wonder how our coach dealt with Chucku late on the first day of training, whether he was punished in some form or not.

The postives for me include the lists, Serie A experience, not too old or too young at 27, natural skills that made him the top Italian youth player a few years ago, (remember when he made Paratici's list for Marotta of players to follow), great size, decent speed, can shoot and pass well.

If he can put it all together for 15-17 million would be a steal.

@PBPcalcio tells @MilanVibesIT: "#Milan have flatly denied the reports linking Mazraoui and Zaniolo to the club"




According to @JPercyTelegraph, negotiations for Estupiñán are reportedly at an advanced stage, with Aston Villa hoping to finalise the deal #Milan

Batistuta was fantastic, one of the top strikers in history. Saw him in person in 1994 at the then Foxboro stadium where they beat Greece 4-1, Batistuta scored 3 and Maradona 1 but unfortunately Diego was suspended for doping and Argentina didn't get passed the group stage.

Maradona and Bati were in perfect sync, found each-other with ease. That squad also included Redondo, Simeone, Balbo, and Sensini. They were among the favorites but the suspension killed the spirit of he team.

Have you ever loved any of your wives as much as Zaniolo? I doubt it.
