(Maignan, Milan’s captain, absent from the memory of the Eternal Captain, takes four extra days of vacation after a 5th-place season just to return only a week before the start of the championship. Unacceptable, but who’s calling him out on it? Cardinale? Almstadt? Gardiner? Who?)

On my Twitter feed today.

People were defending his unprofessional behavior consistently like he was their main squeeze. Now extension has signed so endure it.

Still levels above likes of bennacer. Too late to get a new gk so enjoy this fat balloon fumbling near post shots for 4th year

He was a really good wingback at Inter

Haven’t followed him since
This is a different player, 24 years old Italian/Polish LWB. The other is Zielinski that moved to Inter from Napoli.

Who will be our backup striker if Gimenez leaves? We’ll be left with only Ramos up front.

Rabiot as an AM? not that far-fetched of an idea. Musah in the last game kept dropping back to pick up the ball from the defence because the midfield wasn't good enough to do it (Ricci + Jashari in the 2nd half). it would be a clear change in approach for his game plan.

I feel the 343 is very imbalanced and will leave gaping holes in front of the defence, especially when we attack. it will be even worse if Chukwu is our RW. not a fan of Amorim but if we believed in him, we've gotta hurry up and give him the players he needs. we still haven't seen our best 11 play together yet, I personally cannot imagine it working out with these players

not having an experienced sporting director to choose the coach may bite us harder than we imagined. choosing a douchebag of a coach based on this non-existent aura is a fallacy. we badly need a competent sporting director.

Vitiello: Cardinale will be in Milano this week to meet with Amorim and assess ingoing and outgoing market operations.
I’m embarrassed to ask — what are all those managers who were appointed in June doing? Well, okay, Scaroni is building the stadium, but what about the others?

How much was giroud. Cant believe I am saying this but we never really replaced giroud lmao. Giroud was annoying quite often to watch but he did score and assist.

He’ll we should have kept tamzaaa Abraham. He is 10 times better than this fodder gimitrash.
Giroud was 1m

Last clutch striker we had

It is going to be a slightly more 3-4-3 ish version of this zona mista tactic. More and more pieces are falling into place.
I think Amorim just likes to dig into the tactics archive, which I can appreciate honestly.

Rabiot will not play there

Cut that shit now

He is a very good CAM, he played regularly in that position for Marseille. 8 goals, 5 Assists in 22 games as CAM for Marseille.

Scored 10 and assisted 6

Rabiot's ability (cm or am) is not in question. The problem is that we'll be removing the only CM capable of playing at high level for 90 mins, out of the midfield. Who will replace him in his current CM position? We are already struggling for quality there. Taking Rabiot out of there only makes the problem bigger.

Ignore the exact names, they only have last years squad but that´s imo roughly what Amorim is cooking up. I could be very wrong but the hints are getting stronger.

I heard he then became president of Ukraine though.

Look what strikers people sign...and by the stats, she guarantees 10+ goals per season :D
We paid 70m+ for a guy who scored more than 10 only once in his career xD

Didn't Amorim say/hinted at his press conference that Puli will be played at the AM position?
I can see him fitting there more than the SS position that will be reserved for Nkunku/Leao. Much more of a free role that can utilize Puli's creativity (on his good day) and free roaming abilties, has also played on multiple positions and can be adaptable.

Modric/Ricci
Rabiot/Jashari --------- Puli/RLC
-----------Leao/Nknunku
Ramos/Camarda​

What is this nonsense?

Ramos has scored 11,18,14 goals in his last 3 seasons at PSG at the club level.

Who in their right mind would pay up front for Santi after the couple years he's had?

If loan with option is all we can do, then go for it. He's not gonna play with us anymore at this point so the best we can hope for is a high option and if he plays well it gets triggered. If not, hopefully he performs ok this year and raises his value from the almost nothing he is worth right now. Or, actually becomes the player we thought maybe he could be.
His numbers at Erdeviese were unreal for 2 seasons in a row, and he had a very solid 6 months after his January signing here with 5G+2A, best G+A per 90' in all of the top 5 leagues IIRC. Guy is only 25, and with strikers, 80% of their abilities is confidence-based.

A change of scenery is needed for him (however, he wouldn't be the first striker Allegri did not know how to use), and a 15m-20m valuation (even outright purchase) is in the realm of reason for a guy of his profile. It's not as if this club itself hadn't tried multiple times to resurrect prospects' careers with gambles like these (Nkunku, Puli).

All in all, just his 25/26 season was abysmal; it's hardly as if he slumped for 2/3 seasons in a row à la Tomori/RLC/Leao, etc.

Only AC Milan coach in history I vividly hate, wasted a whole year with anti football, worse display than Banter Era with 1st time coaches like brocchi and Gatu, only to fumble it on the last day since he already had an agreement with Napoli.

His name should be stricken off the club's records and the 2011 scudetto should be attributed to Galliani's spirit like the 2021 is with Maldo.

I guess I should have mentioned it's for Ligue 1, didnt think ppl care much for padding stats in cup matches.
And obv the post was a joke...it was to show off a pretty face
Now with the risk of being called misogynist I would also make it clear that I don't actually believe women can compete at the level men do in sports, just in case you also took it seriously about her scoring 10 goals in Serie A.
Hope this helps clear the situation mate ;)

His contributions for us is net negative.
2011 Scudetto was impressive against an Inter squad who retained almost everyone from the treble team except Mourinho and Balotelli. But 2012 losing out to an average Juve balanced it out.
2013 3rd place was an overachievement. But 2026 5th place balances it out and 2013-14 half season was Giampaolesque.

2011 CL performance was pathetic, 2012 CL was decent, 2013 CL had highs and lows but overall was a disappointment. 2013-14 CL group stage was decent given the squad.

Every single Coppa Italia season were pathetic.

Thats actually a great idea.
Rabiot is tall, strong & has a good shot.
A dream AM.
Now sign two good deep mids.
We are fixing one hole by creating 2 new holes.
Signing 2 good new CMs in the last 3 weeks of the transfer window is a fight already lost.

Well.the marselli mid will come. That is enough. For the cm.we need workhorses. Rabiot is creative and dangerous. We need a deputy for him. We need wing backs and we need a good cb. No tomori. Over him.
