Apparently Milan and Porto have both walked away over the Santi deal?

If true, absolutely fair given the shitty poor offer Porto put on the table.

Gimenez redemption arc is going to be sweet... We've missed a clutch player from the bench since Jovic left. Hopefully Santi can bag a few goals and assists from the bench on the way to us getting #20 lol.

Don't get your hopes up mate.
You may have kept Musah here, but Santi's likely gone in 2 weeks time.

he is the athletic black pippofan is jealous about
When I was a kid all the girls went crazy over Alain Delon while also liking Marcello Mastroianni but in a less sexual way. I prefer to be lean over muscular that when exaggerated looks gross. I attracted girls with my charm and sense of humor and the look of a faithful guy. (They were wrong on the last part).

10 most expensive sales in Milan History.
Three of them in the last 12 months.
Also Tiji should be top after the additional 14M bonuses

I saw the Bee Gees in 1974 in a small venue before they went disco and sounded like girls. It was probably one of the best evenings with my ex because she also loved them, remember the strong aroma of weed that I tried a few times but it only made me hungry and sleepy.

Songs like To Love Somebody, Words, spick and spack, New York mining disaster, (have you seen my wife Mr Jones?). and others.
I love going to concerts, often going alone because no one's wants to come to some...

It should be noted that I actually went to see Taylor with an ex gf... I got tickets when we were together. We both wore "we are never ever, ever, getting back together" t-shirts lol.

I'm hoping to see Blink 182 next year in Milan, at the Ippodromo San Siro 😍

I'm not dying on a Santi hill, but if he stays, cool.

If he leaves, that's another hole to fill, going into another potentially pivotal season with 2 strikers...

I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending...

Ramos ain't no Santi.
And Camarda ain't no Fulkrug.:taphead:

I too would prefer a 3 Striker rotation, but if Amorim thinks 2 dynamic forwards is enough for his setup, well... he's the coach.

Salad on the left I guess, and Chuk on the bench?
LWB - Salad/Barte
RWB - Moreira/Chuk

If having 2 was the plan all along, I'd hope we're strengthening the SS/CAM spots, with someone that can potentially cover a more advanced space.

All I'm saying is no one should really care if Santi stays or goes. But if he goes, it is another hole.

too many great players to list but if pushed all time favorite player: Maldini

Shevchenko’s sale annoyed me. It was a mistake to move to Chelsea as he wasn’t wanted by Mourinho and several Chelsea players made it clear they didn’t want him there. The definition of a bad move.

The days of “hidden gems” are largely over. Every club has a deep and extensive scouting network.

If you want an A grade talent, you can be sure that the big English and spanish clubs are on him, as well as Bayern and PSG.

There are exceptions but largely this is the case

20-30m gets you players with obvious flaws - behavior issues like Theo, legal disputes like Leao, players who just lack overall quality to play at the highest level (Tonali), ones with some obvious holes in their game/small body of work (Reijnders), or injury prone players (Pulisic).
To me the issue is one we’ve seen time and again- the scouts like a player, it’s declared they’re not Milan quality, then they have a breakout season and they’re no longer affordable.

We’ve been linked to tons of promising players over the years that have ended up in this situation.

Just one example that comes to mind is Maldini wanted to sign Calafiori, instead he went to Bologna for 4 million, and then exploded.

So I think the true issue is that if you want a gem, you need to buy it before it’s polished, otherwise the cost goes through the roof.

This is very good. Not only have we missed leadership, but it's even more impactful when done by the man with no one to answer to.
Gerry legit acting like a rejuvenated King theoden from Lord of the rings after furlani's curse was lifted.
