The Rumour Commode L - Take the L

[Seedorf149]

If it was up to me I would sign a tall stiker as a backup to compete with Camarda. My choice is Scamacca, a 1.95 m tower with plenty of Serie A experience.

B. Diaz for RAM. Last year on his contract. Real M. are our friends. Won't cost a lot (25-30 millions).

A top LCB to replace Pavlovic. I'm all ears about any recommendations.

Give me Castello Lukeba and Dani Olmo.

at one point, the Confraternita reached an agreement with the moderation group of the RnB forums to temporarily block a certain member‘s ability to use gifs for a finite period of time.

the Confraternita has reached an agreement that it is time to impose such a penalty on an unbelieving member yet again. The same one.

Let us discuss terms in a more…’discreet‘ matter.

You will be dealt with and you will be dealt with…swiftly…

the Confraternita actually asked me to use that stupid pun in the end. I said it was cheesy but they insisted so whatever dont shoot the messenger.

That’s true. Romano had no idea about the two biggest deals we made this summer

 

[brk]

If we lose Fofana, Leao, Ricci, Nkunku, Estupinian, Tomori and Gimenez as expected, we drop our total cost from 170 to around 160m. We have room for a few more hits, but we will undoubtedly have to increase the total from last season. 10m a year is enough for someone like Soule probably, but not if we also get a CB and another wingback or CM and a backup CF. My guess is we end up at somewhere around 180m or so, which is just a bit higher than what we had in 24/25.

When it comes to the lists, we're mostly fine as long as we don't add too many more foreigners. We would have 14 foreigners after the expected departures, leaving space for only three more. Soule counts as Italian. Colombo counts as one too, as well as being Milan homegrown.

 

[vB9]

its not too late to keep Rafa, is it...

 

[tonyb]

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.

 

[Beppe]

You want Soule? I hope we aim higher than that. He’s even surplus at Roma.

 

[Hitchens]

Reading a long defense of Zhegrova by @General was not something I had on my 2026 bingo card

 

[brk]

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.

 

[Tobinho]

I think what’s clear this time is that we’re finally moving in sync again when it comes to player acquisition. The players being bought clearly fit our declared game style and we’re getting them no matter what the cost.

This is a big upgrade over the mess of last season and the hesitation of previous years before that.

From a player cost perspective, as long as most of the new guys are on a reasonable 3 to 4m net, the crazy transfer figures aren’t that painful either. That was something I was hoping we do this summer, get rid of the worthless guys that cost us 8 to 12m a year, and get excellent players that only cost a little bit more. Moreira at 50m and 3m net will cost around 15m a year. Ramos was an exception at 22m a year. Gila 12m. For example, Ricci, Fofana and Gimenez each cost 12 to 14m a year. I think and hope the strategy is we increase the ceiling on the really good first team players, but drop the cost of the mid range players to a level that allows us to pay those top guys more. Instead of the likes of Ricci costing us 10m a year, we get someone that does the same thing (squad backup) for a third of the cost, and use that saving to pay for the likes of Moreira and Ramos.

This also fits in with the push for youth and Futuro, since Comotto is effectively replacing Ricci at this point and it looks like Alpha Cisse is replacing Leao, promoting Pulisic to first choice left side attacker.

It explains why we’re suddenly ok with spending so much this summer, as well as the fact that we’re not bound by FFP settlement agreement anymore and that Gerry is free from Elliott restrictions.

The problem obviously is that we’re putting all of our eggs in the Amorim basket. Let’s hope he’s worth it.

The good old Zidanes y Pavones model

btw Diego is definitely going to be playing LW, I find it very hard that we would field a midfield of Jashari/Modric and Chukwu/Diego at the same time. incredibly imbalanced, just like playing FIFA

im not sure im too sold on Morreira from the highlights, i'd rather wait to judge him after a couple of months.. the price is a very high one and I just hope that he has more to offer than just speed

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.

So you think Moreira LWB with someone more defensive as back up?

Where do you feel Salad and Chuk will end up being used?

If Pulisic is LAM, who's RAM?

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.

Where would he play? Surely Pulisic fits Amorim a lot more. Leao can't press.

because he’s getting replaced by a 19 y/o from serie b

No, I think (hope?) Moreira is the RWB (with Chukwueze as his backup) and we buy a more defensive LWB.

RAM is Rabiot or we get someone new like Soule or whoever.

This is my ideal squad at this stage, and we'd need three more purchases to get it. Lots of versatile players like Saelemaekers, Rabiot, Moreira, Musah and Bartesaghi that fill other positions during emergencies. Might need another CM, but it depends on how ready Amorim thinks Comotto is.

We play with 10 men?

 

[tonyb]

Where would he play? Surely Pulisic fits Amorim a lot more. Leao can't press.

I'm not saying he fits. But let's be honest, he came out first and said he wants to leave. We didn't put him on the market first.

If the option ends up being loan with option at a low fee or something like that, I prefer to keep him and hope he can do something as a SS.

 

[tonyb]

we dont want him. just like we dont want italians (theyre shit)

Team Saelemaekers...

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

No, I think (hope?) Moreira is the RWB (with Chukwueze as his backup) and we buy a more defensive LWB.

RAM is Rabiot or we get someone new like Soule or whoever.

Ah okay... Does Moreira's heat map not show him being used more on the left though?

ChuK as back up I can build a bridge with... My thoughts on this guy are well known.

I'm intrigued to see how everything plays out, and who we end up with.

There's no arguments that we're better placed to do better than last year... On paper. But we've not sold anyone yet lol, so a lot can change.

Here's hoping, 4 years of failure and rinse repeat revolutions have kicked Gerry square in the ego... Amorim has said good things, so here's hoping it all finally clicks.

Rabiot should be in the middle bro, enough already lol... And RLC needs gone.

Id be more worried about Pavlovic that Gabbia as well.

But it's not looking bad if we buy more quality, over quantity.

Oh, who bought Leao lol?
