LW you mean as the LWB or in place of Pulisic? I don't think that's happening. Amorim mentioned only one single player by name during his initial press conference and it was Pulisic and how much he was perfect for that left sided AM role. We're not spending 50m to get someone to compete with Pulisic.

For Moreira it's either LWB or RWB. Common sense says it's LWB because we have no one capable there right now, but looking at his stats and videos, he just looks like the perfect version of what we want Chukwueze to do. That's why I think he will be used there a lot. I guess it depends on whether we get another wingback.

I agree 100% that Chuckwueze-Moreira is very unbalanced. That's why i'm expecting them to get a more defensive LWB to balance them out.
Our defensive Lwb is Bartesaghi. He played there a lot in pre season.
Moreira - Bartesaghi as LWB
Saelemaekers - Chuckwueze as RWB

Saele and Moreira are simply both LWB and RWB. The specificity between LWB and RWB isn't that high once you are accustomed to playing on both sides.

I'm confused why Leao would want to leave us for teams like a Gala or Roma. If those are his options surely he'd rather stay.

Those moves can't excite him.
It's not only that he wants to leave but it's that Milan doesn't want to keep him. Has refused offers from two Turkish teams because he wants EPL or Liga but none of them are interested. He's now considering staying because prefers Italy to Turkey.

The Roma thing is a rumour that I don't believe because of his high salary but if it was up to Rafa he'll accept because they play in CL. Gasperini pushes his players to the limit so I doubt he'd want to deal with Leao's questionable work rate.

I agree with this

On paper, Saele-Moreira is a fantastic wingback duo. Lots of pace running and technique

I am hearing moreira is comfortable on both wings. He can play as a RW too.

Just can’t see Amorim benching arguably the best player in preseason just to have Bart or Estu start
Of course not. If we don't get another wingback, then yeah Moreira is the LWB.

I checked the amount Ks Leao runs on average. It’s pretty decent 9 to 10 km.

But where lol? I never see him run that much.

We still dont have a really good option at either of the CAM positions.

I'm sorry, but beta soyboy Pulisic wont do. If last season and the world cup is anything to go by, this guy cannot be depended upon.

What other options do we have?

RLC? Lulz
Cisse? Too green still

Thats it. We desperately need new options.

Also CF, Camarda really hasnt shown he has what it takes to be first backup. He should stay in the squad and be given games. But he is not there yet to be first backup.

Same with the CB options. I can live with Pavlovic at LCB but we really need a good ball playing CCB.

Probably need another CM as trusting a 41 yr old Modric as starter is illogical. But worst comes to worst if nothing happens there its not the end of the world.

Hopefully something is cooking.

Did he actually say that? In the video that is linked he talked complete different stuff.
Rube only ever had 3 or 4 likeable players in their history. Del piero is class.
Davids barzagli. And maybe Cannavaro.

Rest were all trash human beings.

Honestly if we got another good CB and closed the mercato I wouldn’t complain.

I can live with Rabiot or Loftus as RAM, Pavlo/Gabbia is just a massive liability for what we’re trying to do

The last line shows that even Ash is sort of happy at the moment lolz.

We already spent big on a center forward so the guy doesn't make any sense.

Well Romano mentioned we enquired after Endrick so who knows

But i fail to see how thats a CR7 level transfer tbh
One more Cb

One AM who can sub in as a striker as well.

One more mid?

Otherwise Endrick I guess given we play with 2 mids.

lol we’re not getting a new big name CF, what kind of idiocy is this? Ramos is by far our most expensive player and we play a system with a single CF.

Well, let me put it that way.

If Nkunku's salary was 10-11 millions per year, then Bruno's is easily 19-20.

The dork Kush said Pulishit will play on the right and they’ll likely sign a 10 for the left

Probably cause they struck out on Liberali and Karetes not a lot of left footers going around

@PBPcalcio: RB Leipzig are strongly interested in Nkunku. The club are in contact with the player’s agent and could submit an offer to AC Milan!

Kush is genuinely stupid even if he is connected to Gerry. I wouldn’t trust his opinions

So far Real Madrid has refused but I don't see Endrick as a striker at 5'8", maybe as RAM opposite Pulisic.

Leao being replaced by Alpha Cisse must be really humbling for Rafa. No serious club wants him and now the coach basically replaced him in the squad with a Futuro player, and honestly nobody is giving a shit about it. It's the right squad building move and will open up options for us financially to fix other positions. What a sad end to his Milan career.
"Being replaced" how?
Cisse played in pre-season, and Leao was injured. :proud:

On Friday there will be the meeting between Cardinale-Leao, I say that their paths will part. I wouldn't rule out the Premier route yet, including Chelsea. The Portuguese remains on the market.


Why would they meet if the decision to part ways has already been made?
Sounds like bullshit rumours like always.
