The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Ashish]

Sure sign of a club swimming in performance enhancing …..

 

[Curupira]

Apparently not since only Top 5 Leagues clubs interested were Como and Atletico but even cheaper .

we limited his options by only asking for 25m

Better execution?
People were saying it’s impossible to sell players on their last years of contract.

It’s almost like that’s determined by budget and not a person

But yea, overall direction still the same, don’t know what people were expecting

Better execution?

Because we sold Theo to saudi?

Couple of years back we didnt have saudi money to offload players to. You dont think Maldini wouldnt have jumped at the opportunity to sell Kessie or Donna to Saudis or they wouldnt have come up with big offers if they were around then?. Barca did exactly that with Kessie after all.

Pure feels

Yet no decent club came to bid for that player on a cut rate price

Is he talking about kerkez?

Theo was top 90 th percentile player last year.
Mike was magnificent last year.

Can't see Doué coming, seems the distance is too big.

After the Brown thing, I wouldn't mind to see Zinchenko back in fashion for the LB. Every signing holds risk, but I'd rather have more Modrics than Moncada maybe talents.

Of all the options available, Zinchenko is one of the better ones. Arsenal want him gone and he has experience in a top league.

Also, a lot of question marks as to why we didn't keep Walker. His 4m fee was nothing.

Surveys from the Saudi Pro League for the two players who returned to Milan from loans to Marseille and Fiorentina

The career of Ismael Bennacer and Yacine Adli could continue abroad. Polls by the Saudi Pro League for the two midfielders owned by Milan, returned from their respective loans to Marseille and Fiorentina.

The Algerian has collected 12 appearances and two assists in Ligue 1 with Roberto De Zerbi's team, while the Frenchman has collected 35 appearances with the purple shirt, scoring 5 goals including the one as a former player against the Rossoneri. - Di Marzio

hope those surveys turn into petrodollars

So obviously you defended the board back then?

 

[Wild]

If they keep this mercato shit like this i hope for another 8th place at least that fucker should sell faster

 

[ymsv]

If we gave our deal & didnt raise it this mean we were humiliated?!

Yes . Normally negotiations should be , we are offering 50 millions and they start negotiating to reduce it to fifteen .

 

[Samaldinho]

The issue isn't Brown, it's how late we were to getting to him. This started with with the delay in hiring Tare, which delayed the work and preparation for this summer.

Great, Tare did well to get Allegri (assuming he does well) and a 39-year-old Modric (Ibra assist?) while Ricci was a choice of Moncada, and I think he came in instead of Xhaka. Fine.

You wanted to sell Theo, even though Allegri wanted to keep him? You sold Reijnders before Tare came on board? This is the result of that disconnect.

We are playing catch-up in our pursuit of targets, instead of laying the groundwork months in advance.

These constant delays in preparation, in strategy, they hurt business. This has been a hallmark of Redbird from the very start.

 

[Ash]

No I didnt

Im just stating a simple fact that its easier now to find other avenues to sell players on expiring contracts because of the Saudi factor. If they hadnt come through, I can guarantee you Theo would have seen out his contract or be sold dirt cheap as European clubs are more than happy to wait a year to sign him on a free.

They didn't send a jet, they probably just had a chartered jet waiting there, and canceled when it didn't work out.

Not that crazy or embarrassing.

So we do not have club jet . The management is even cheaper than most would expect .

We may have a club jet, but it'd be stupid to have a jet to pick up players for transfers. It's probably cheaper (and smarter) to pay for jet services rather than owning your own.

There are plenty of companies that will fly from the various cities to Milan--it's probably faster, too, then having to send a jet from Milan to x or y city.

You'd charter a larger jet for someone like Morata, who travels with his family, for example, than you would for a single guy, etc.

[Shiby]

Net jets is very cheap. Half a mill is too much

you can buy a handful of cessnas and hangar them for a year for half a mil

when u charter it's mostly the pilot's time ur paying for. it would cost like 15k tops in total maybe less since the trip wasnt made

Well goddamn, I was far away. Its like asking Bill Gates how much a carton of milk costs.

@AntoVitiello: Luka Modric will be in Milan on Monday!

Dont worry if we dont improve this squad significantly an 8th place or worse will come.
Atm we have become worse than last season.

But its only july and we can only hope mgmt get their shit together and improve this squad.
I will only judge at the end of the mercato, dont care about a missed player like Brown or anything.

The way situations were dealt with is not the same. They froze out Theo before the season even started. While noone dared to threaten Kessie in case he didnt renew. That management got screwed over and didnt do anything about it. They only bent further down.

And Theo would not sit out the season. Especially not before an international comp and with so little offers that he got.

 

[Curupira]

No I don’t think that

He literally said he would still keep Tonali and was trying to use Scudetto as leverage against the ownership.

We are run by amateurs. I 100% believe that

 

[Omer]

Forgive me, I understand everything, everyone can say what they want and create the narrative they desire, but I think the negotiation was reported accurately. If Brown's agents are asking for about €3m in commissions and Milan doesn't pay them, what am I supposed to do about it? Those are their evaluations. I do my job. Milan sent a private plane to bring the player to Milan, it doesn't seem like I made anything up. Anyway, you're free to follow whoever you want, of course. - Moretto

3m commissions on an 8m fee is criminal

I don't know much about this Archie Brown player. There is a good chance he is not even good enough for Milan.

At the same time 3mil agent commission on a low fee like 8 mil is better than 3 mil on a higher fee like 15-20 miil. I mean it's better to pay a total of 11mil ( 8 + 3) than a total of 18-23 mil.

Usually the highest commission / signing bonuses are on free transfer players.

plenty of time to file a flight plan to Messi's inter miami

Well with Zirkzee we’ve seen that if the buy out clauses is believed to be low, then there will be a demand for signing bonus / commission as well

 

[Mr. Anonymous]

Mercato is crazy bro, every year we get this sorta stuff.

Nope...we don't miss targets for being slow to wrap thing up according to some in this forum.

 

[Hitchens]

I honestly dont know & dont care.
I was discussing the player.

I know nothing, didn't even watch a comp. Good riddance baby

 

[Mr. Anonymous]

The lazy version of Theo is still better than 90% of all the LBs in the top 5 leagues.

I think we'd have to define "better"

Talent wise you're probably right.

But his in game IQ and decision making was abysmal this season when it mattered, he cost us dearly in very important matches.

When we needed him to step up...he took a step down.

No I didnt
