it REALLY REALLY isnt, when you consider napoli and atalantas fixtures

We don't need to care about Juventus or Atalanta though, we expect them to finish top 4 given current form of those sides - up for debate maybe if we beat either and they also hit bad form, but Napoli are the trailing team in 5th. It's really between us, Napoli and maybe Lazio if we were to lose to them + they win their game in hand. If we beat Lazio then that's huge and it's most likely us versus Napoli with a 3.5 (H2H) lead. If we get 10 points, Napoli would need 14 out of 18 to overtake us. That means we can drop points to Atalanta and Juve but still come out in a CL spot if we can win the remaining games. They aren't perfect as a team, they have games that they choke against lower sides and I expect to see it happen in a couple games before end of the season. If we can take anything from Atalanta and Juve games then that would be huge. Just hope the squad keeps fit and in form for the remainder. It's vital, but we have a little leeway even with harder fixtures.

There are also some people in this forum who are happy certain players are not performing.

So what?

What is worse? Simply not being depressed for the loss or celebrating for poor performances?

This reminds me of you :)

Seriously speaking, no one is celebrating Milan players not performing. It's the exact opposite. Everyone and their moms would prefer Leao finding his inner Aubameyang and banging in goals games after games rather than being a passenger on the field while recording his rap albums.

Show me one single post of someone who's celebrating a bad performance. Only one.

Super League, no sporting sanctions for the 12 clubs involved

No sporting sanctions against the 12 clubs. These are the latest news from Switzerland. UEFA has decided not to take sporting sanctions against the 12 clubs affected by the Super League project. Further actions will be evaluated in the future.

Lol. As if they had any legal right to do anything

I'd say 5

we can't let Atalanta and ladri win

If we can get 4 from those, yes. That's what I said pretty much. So if we win Lazio game (and it's a 6-point game in the CL race) then Atalanta and Juve games aren't as vital to need to win in the sense if we can win the other 3 which we should (but we say that about Sassuolo :fp: ) then we have a good safety net above Lazio/Napoli. I doubt either of those go on to win all their games this season.

I think we can secure it before the Atalanta game which would be nice. Don't want to be having a heart attack on the final day against those fucks. Take a win from either Juve or Atalanta is an even bigger thing for us to secure a spot too so those are welcome :D

TMW - Milan, interest in the Norwegian Thorstvedt.

Milan are looking for a young profile to be included in their median. already formed by Kessie, Bennacer and Tonali, to complete a fresh and top-level department. So in the last few days he has expressed interest in Kristian Thorstvedt, Norwegian midfielder owned by Genk, where he replaced (and well) his national team mate Sander Berge. Born in 1999, he combines great physical skills with a good technical background: the valuation is between 12 and 15 million, even if in the Premier League they have already spotted him in two or three clubs.

:thumbsup:
But I hope he won't get Hauge treatment.

He is definitely not bad, one of the better players from Genk.
His vision is optimal and he is much bulkier than Bennacer and Tonali.
We shouldnt buy if he isnt a starter.

Buy thorstvedt or not, he still prefers to play his loverboy Krunic
So better to keep thar millions and spend it on a different position.
Or sell Krunic first

Although Hauge has scored a decisive goal in recent games, Pioli is not relying on him.

According to TMW, AC Milan have decided to loan out Jens Petter Hauge. In fact, the Rossoneri have decided to let Hauge play more but at a new club. Milan continue to believe in the future of the Norwegian talent.

It's funny how -on paper- we are trying to evolve to a club that prospects raw young talents and shapes them into real gems.
It's funny how -in reality- we don't have a clue how to deal with young talents and actually just throw them to the lions once they arrive here.

Who's throwing them to the lions? I see nothing but support from our coaches and management. Even towards Hauge although actions speak louder than words in his case.

However that's not the problem IMO. It's more us, the fans through Social media and more than that the medias and newspapers who put a lot of pressure on them by judging those kids after every game very harshly as soon as they didn't pull a Messi.

Thinking about that I might be guilty of that too towards Leao, although I think what's enraging me is never an occasional error or not a super-performance game after game but more that laissez-faire attitude where he runs for 10 minutes like a mad man and then seems to don't care anymore for the next 40 minutes.

Over years we have always been like this, buy young players, put pressure on them, then sell and buy old players.

In January we let Colombo (18) signed Mandzukic (34).
In summer we are likely to ship out many (if not all) of Hauge, Leao, Kalulu, Gabbia, Diaz, just wait and see.
They will be replaced with Ilicic?s or some Serie A players like Scamacca/Belotti and then they will flop and then we’ll have another revolution and sign young players again to start another youth project from the beginning. This is how Milan has been since our first youth project started with Galliani in 2012. We’ve started many youth projects since then, but they never ever really believed in young players, in a year they always gave up and went to old Serie A players again.

colombo doesnt offer much quality and wouldnt really start any game if we have other option- better loan him than playing few minutes here and there
hauge in serieA looked average each time he started, scored some nice goals as late sub -probably will be loaned for 1 year
leao probably wont go because selling him would generate problems about buying new players - he will stay 1 more year. but if some good offer arrives he may get sold.
kalulu has imo bigger potential than gabbia, so kalulu should stay, gabbia will depend on other cbs.
diaz showed last game how much he is worth in serieA.

As reported by InterLive, Pioli, not satisfied with Meit?, would have asked Milan to buy Gagliardini from Inter.

There is how the market is gonna be, full of Serie A fodders.
