I think Todibo could do well at Milan. Especially if it’s a loan + option formula.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini
I appreciate your thoughts, but I'm not buying Modric and Comotto as the answer to RCM, while trying to get back into the CL, and potentially look to compete in SA and Europe?

RLC, Fofana and Musah can all go, I'm not dying on a Musah hill lol... Ricci for rotation and lists, sure, I'll not lose any sleep either way.

For me we need a starting quality CM, let Modric wind down his playing career, and offer a you hater good minutes as well.

We can hope Jashari explodes... But that's a big IF currently.

Rabiot, Then one from Jashari, Modric, Ricci and Comotto, I'm just not confident that's enough.

A lot really depends on sales. Right now it's hypothetical and steeped in narratives?

The idea of starting ChuK, Modric and relying on Nkunku and Pulisic scares the shit out of me... More so if RLC and Fofana are back up, while Salad plays every minute because we have no real cover there?

Again, holes upon holes, but...
As many holes as Swiss cheese.

Think is not good enough.

I get that, and I think this is basically where the whole "trust the youth" discussion becomes difficult in practice.

Because yes, if you look at Modric + Comotto purely from a risk-management perspective, of course signing another starting-quality CM is safer. I wouldn't even argue against that. But then where does Comotto actually play?

If we sign a starting-quality RCM, Modric becomes his backup and Comotto becomes third choice. That's basically game over for meaningful minutes unless we have an injury crisis. And then we're back to exactly what we were discussing before: we love the idea of giving youngsters a pathway until that pathway requires us to accept some actual risk.

I'm willing to take that risk with Comotto.

Maybe I'll look like an idiot in six months and he'll prove nowhere near ready. 😂 But Modric isn't some random veteran either. Even at his age, I'd trust him to start plenty of games, while gradually shifting more and more minutes towards Comotto if he develops the way I hope he will.

And I think we have to pick our battles in the mercato too. Because I completely agree with you about the holes. That's actually why I'd rather spend serious money elsewhere. Give me another ball-playing CB, a proper RAM and a starting-quality wingback before another CM. Those are much bigger holes to me because I don't see internal solutions there that I particularly trust.

RCM is different because I do see one: Comotto. Same with Jashari. Sure, him exploding under Amorim is an IF. But almost every young player's development is an IF. At some point Milan spent serious money on him because of what he showed at Brugge. Now we're finally playing a system and role that should resemble what made him so good there in the first place. I'd rather find out whether that player is actually in there than immediately put another body in front of him.

And yeah, if we're starting Chukwueze at wingback while Saelemaekers has to play 55 games because there's nobody behind him, I'll be shitting myself right next to you. 😂 That's exactly why those positions are higher priorities for me.

I guess my approach would be: don't try to eliminate every single risk in the squad. Fix the positions where we genuinely don't have convincing answers and deliberately accept some risk where we have talented young players who might become those answers.

Otherwise we'll spend another 100M filling "holes upon holes" and then wonder why Comotto, Camarda and the next Liberali are looking elsewhere for minutes.
So we play a formation where wingbacks are the most important players.

Or you could side wide midfielders too

Yet we haven’t signed anyone yet.

Nice

Bianchin on Soulè: "Roma is asking for 40 million but it can be closed at 30"


My estimation puts him at max 20 mil

And if publagia is true then even lower is fine.

Fuck Roma.

Very impressed with Cisse`, looks like a legit talent. Only played about 15 minutes but in the video you see him getting back on defense and making tackles, good dribbling, uses both feet. Once he's 100% he will be even more effective.

By his familiarity with the ball at his feet you can see that he has great technique on top of speed to get passed defenders. Should be kept, even as third choice, because Pulisic and Nkunku are injury prone and can also move to the right to back up Soule' or whoever we end up with.

The 8 million that we paid Verona for the player may turn out to be a steal if he continues in his progression and at some point might end up starting ahead of both Pulisic and Nkunku.

A trio of talented young Italians, (despite what @Soldier of god says about real nationalities), would be of immense benefit to Milan.
We also paid around 8 mil for kaka

And we know what happened next

Just Don’t be the next djibril cisse bruv.

That's why a young talent from Serie B is far more interesting than the overhyped ones from Belgium and Germany even Switzerland I'm referring to Athekame while Fortini is available for just 10 millions.

I agree. Tonali also came from Brescia serie B

Serie B is actually very very physical. More physical than Serie and and epl.


You will be surprised how physical some of these lower leagues are.

I used to watch the championship sometimes of England, and trust me it is more physical than epl. Some of the players are beasts. Too bad their technical skill and stamina are limited.

Look at George elokobi, akinfenwa,
Wes Morgan, Danny shittu,
Etc

Apparently someone here thinks cucknku will be a revelation next season LOL.

Ok bro. Ok.

He can’t, 5 games into the season, everybody would have figured out his outside of the foot cross trick and he still would be unable to use his right leg making him a very ineffective player once again

I can't wait for Chuk to go, I think I was the first on here to say he was a waste of money and not better than Saelly or Messias.....

But if you over play that cross you make it easier for Chuk to get to his favourite cut in move.
I still think he won't be good enough but just stating the obvious - it's at least a new wrinkle he didn't show before which makes him slightly less one dimensional.

Capello supports Maldini for his decision to resign. He adds that he felt Pirlo was a good choice - "only seeking new paths you can achieve a different outcome, otherwise you are moving backwards".

I respect Capello for what he has done for Milan, but I do not agree with him on this. The coach is only part of the solution, and I do not see how Pirlo would have made a real difference anyway.

Perhaps sports stars live in a different world. In the real world, you do not get unlimited autonomy and you need to be sensitive to what your customers want. In this case, Maldini's "customers" are the Italian public, and few were happy with his selection. You want to make a decision that is wildly unpopular, then you need to make an effort to sell it to your customers.
