The Rumour Commode L - Take the L

After the United and Torino games, I think we’ll see the Jashari Musah midfield combo a lot

Amorim clearly wants the first line of defense to be pressing and those two have shown the ability to relentlessly press for 80+ minutes at a time, not many other midfielders in the team for that

Rabiot remains the best player in this team my hope is for him to permanently be moved up and get reinforcement at CB/LWB

Cagliari..

In hindsight, I want to thank Cagliari for doing what they did.
Allegri and that Milan in Europe would not have survived for long.

At least now we have an entertaining play style. Amorim should be given time and backing, and perhaps we can go far in Europe again.

Yildiz got hurt, he is going to miss Juve Milan in two weeks

 

[General]

Here’s the final stance on Leao

1. we sell him now and it potentially creates a need to sign someone else which we won’t have leverage with little time left in the mercato. It can worsen the team until winter which we can’t afford.

2. Can Amorim get him to put in defensive duties as well? We saw of glimpse in pre season so it’s a yes until it’s a no

3. Leao and Cisse in the position that was played yesterday can absolutely hold us until the winter transfer window

4. Leao had a sub optimal year last year. Playing in a role that isn’t for him. And he still did well vs his teammates with goal production. In a role that is clearly not suited for him……..

5. selling him now means a new player needs to learn the system with the season already started. Leao has had exposure and should know what Amorim wants by now

keep him. use him for some production. He’ll unlock a game or two. Work to sell him in winter. It’s too much risk and disruption now.

we also need to prioritize a CB. God help us if one of our starting CBs get hurt. we need an upgrade there first as it stands

I would love to sell RLC, except ... who would buy him? Not likely to happen any time soon

A year left on his contract, no competition for his signature... I wonder what sort of club would buy him in that sort of situation???

 

[BreadPitt]

I don’t think that’s the case.

in July Gerry doubled down saying zlatan doesn’t work for milan. Hes an operating partner for Red Bird.

what is more likely is that Gerry is having him talk to Red Bird directly and stay out of day to day Milan interaction

Unless theres some explicit statement stating otherwise, Ibra is very much around. Just not visiting the players and jumping into transfer decisions directly.

I.e. a position of no relevance as long as he has kept away from the players and transfer decisions he can keep making his IG reels

Oh RnB

we dont give youth chances

we do and they’re fodder

It’s never enough unless it’s prime Pato?

fodder until proven otherwise

 

[sheva]

Amorim during every interview he had here:

Haven't had a jovial coach since Giampolo?

 

[General]

fodder until proven otherwise

This is reason 37 of why italy cant quality for the World Cup

 

[Pigeon]

such a lovable portuguese from lisbon

 

[General]

Not at all. He’s giving Red Bird feedback on what to do and not to do

Our forum YouTuber blessed Cisse

 

[amanmilan]

Look the Leao thing has to be put to bed now. Too many chances he’s had and managers have put him at the forefront and he just isn’t consistent and he simply cannot work with this system. He will be a detriment to the whole confidence of the team. I like that Amorim has stood his ground and hopefully he carries on and Leao finds a club. In his prime with Theo it was great to see but we ain’t getting that back

 

[Berlusconi]

I'd just keep Santi at this point, especially if the only offer on the table is a loan + option. He was scoring for fun in the Eredivisie for back-to-back seasons and did it in the CL too, even against Bayern Munich. There's clearly a player in there who can do good things, while at the same time he's still within striking distance for Camarda to genuinely challenge him and push each other for that back-up spot behind Ramos. And most importantly, Santi is already here. Keeping him costs us nothing, replacing him does – and I'd much rather spend whatever money we have left on actual pressing needs like a starting CCB.

gourcuff was basically Zidane in france, but at Milan?
Santi did 2 things consistently at Milan, run a lot and miss chances

 

[Andre13]

Im not annoyed or getting suspicious anymore. Im now hoping and wishful that Serie A dies and it goes to Eredevise or Belgium league level. When they see the decline and it starts hurting their pockets, its gonna be to late

What crazy mentality, this is like wanting to burn down your house because the shitter isn't flushing properly

 

[CROMIL10]

CM would actually be needed if Rabiot stays primarily at RAM, and we're not counting on Ricci, Fofana, Bondo as it seems.

One worker/destroyer profile (Hojbjerg, Musah) + a creative midfielder (Modric/Jashari/Comotto) and we're set. Jashari lacks Modric's qualities, but he's been very good at pressing, something not to underestimate.

I think Jashari will get plenty of playing time since Luka has to be managed responsibly, even Comotto should get his amount of minutes as it is long season on three fronts.

Also, I'm not comfortable going with 2 strikers through the season, unless Amorim sees Pulisic or someone from AM as makeshift striker in case of emergency, which I doubt.

I would keep both Comotto and Camarda, they'll get their chances and minutes.

IN: CCD (Dias, Min, Tapsoba, Hancko kind of profile), Hojbjerg, Mazraoui and Zirkzee (loan)
OUT: Tomori, Fofana, Ricci (loan w option), Estupinan (?), Bondo, Nkunku (loan w option), Leao (?)

I'd go with Tapsoba + one more for LCB (I kind of see Pavlovic as a liability), Højbjerg for DM, Stojkovic for CM/AM as a cheap option that might prove to be a big upgrade, and maybe one more WB. Pulisic, Cisse, Rabiot, and Stojkovic, even excluding Leao,are more than enough to cover the AM spot, especially since Pulisic and Stojkovic bring an extra dimension by being able to play on both wings (Stojkovic as an 8 as well). The rest is covered. For the CB position, Todibo is also an option, he's a bit risky, but I think he could be molded into a truly dominant center-back.

I think they are right to give space to Camarda Cisse Comotto. People always complain about how there’s no space for these players at Italian clubs meanwhile every other league is littered with youth players sprinkled about. At some point you have to trust them and give them space, the lower levels of Serie A and the EL are pretty easy they should do fine

One of the Bayern directors this summer said how they are embracing the approach of only really bringing in high level players from the transfer market and then using the youth system to fill in a ton of gaps. With the way player valuations are going, I feel like clubs have no choice but to embrace this approach

And this why I would give Amorim a bit more time than usual to build this team.

Last time we were serious about young players was under Sinisa.

It's a nice change of scenery from signing another fodder from the Dutch league.

Kush said in his video that he doesn't think we are interested in inacio. We were until the Gila signing.

@General

Kush is goat tier now?

Yildiz got hurt, he is going to miss Juve Milan in two weeks

Yildiz is so overrated. Have seen him play enough. He is nothing special.

Man even we Australians beat the shit out of turkey in the WC. And Yildiz is fuck all.

Where did this Cisse kid come from? Primavera?

Only a matter of time before he becomes a sell out and well a full time jounro aka the Indian Romano/moretto
