The Rumour Commode X

[Milanista_7]

Mandzukic is way too overrated by the croatians on this forum.

 

[Sorriso Sempre]

Two big clubs will attract people. They can make more money just playing each other in friendless instead of participating in Europa League.

if they attract a good amount of money and interest from sponsors and fans, this could be the start of the idea of a superleague without the parentage of uefa.

I love how mandzukic in last two seasons has scored goals in ucl finals and against barca, juve, united, serbia, italy, dortmund and almost everything else worth scoring a goal against.

Muntari scored against Barca. Kopenhagen beat Juve. Olympiakos beat United. Serbia didn't qualify to the world cup because they had one of the worst qualifications in their history. Italy didn't win a friendly in years. Dortmund getting their best players poached by Bayern year after year.

 

[Mr. Milanista]

no one knowes bar some croatian fans

we will keep balo and he will become wc player worth 50+ mil

man, you're a mad Bosnian

 

[Jinjo]

Great rumors today except for Balo/Mandzukic.

As long as Mexes, Zapata, Robinho, Kaka, NDJ, and Matri leave I will be pretty happy.

 

[Albertini]

I have this crazy idea. Maybe Berlu could buy Marcelo while keeping Des at the same time. Keep one starter and buy another! Wow! (I personally don't want Marcelo tho.) Swapping them would be the most futile piece of shit this club could do. Thank god Pippo wants to keep him. And it's good we're rejecting Cristante offers.

i wouldnt mind at all if we kept MdS for LB and bought another LB on top of that. all the best teams in the world have 2 players to every position.

if the club was run properly we could sign one of: Murru, Hysaj, Guerreiro, Marcos Alonso, Gaston Silva, wile keeping MdS.

Then possibly one of: Meunier, Corchia, Darmian, Peruzzi, Vrsaljko to compete with abate. sadly this will never happen. Nothing wrong with two top players to every position.

 

[Mr. Milanista]

Only problem with the Balotelli/Mandzukic rumours is the age.
We've seen what a hardworking player in attack like El Shaarawy can do for this team. The problem most of us have with Balotelli is that he isn't working hard. Mandzukic can fix all that.
He's like Pazzini/Balotelli combained and + El Shaarawys hard working style

But did muntari be inters top scorer during their treble and score in the finals + all those teams.
Come to think of it....

did balo?

^ dint u post this a few pages ago lol? anyways yeah i agree, murru would be nice.

Last season only vs United. The rest of the big club level games in the season he had stinkers. Not saying hes a bad player but a lot of his success is due to the creative midfield tbh.

Anyways for that money Id rather try and sign Sharqiri, Lamela or Iturbe.

Read my post in the previous page about Balo/Mandzukic defensive contribution.

did balo?

only fools would say that mandzukic isnt a big game player. However, the only constraint in this deal is his age imo for most people. Mandzukic's style of play suits us perfectly but he is 28, balo conversely is still a kid (a grown up ******ed one but still). If it wasnt for the age difference, he would certainly be my first choice for DA milan.

Which strikers success isnt without a midfield?

And can you tell me which poacher can do well in guardiolas style of football? Keeping in mind he still got 21 goals and 6 assists.

Regarding Balotelli vs. Mandzukic

It's anecdotal and confirmation bias, but consider this. Why would the best run team in the world sell him for Lewandowski? If he is the CF that some of you claim, surely Pep and Bayern would find a way to make it work. This situation isn't a Zlatan one where someone was going to get knifed...

De Sciglio is not worth 20m, and no way will he ever be the player Marcelo is today. If the offer for a swap + cash comes in, we must take it and run.

You urge people to be objective, yet fail to do so yourself? Two years ago DS was the leading defensive crosser in Europe and one of the top fullbacks in the world, in his age 19 season. This year he had some nagging injuries and a sophomore slump. So did SES. Should we swap him for a proven commodity?

Right now, Milan needs lottery tickets. Lots of them. MDS is a Powerball ticket who just so happens to be insanely effective off the pitch too.

Inzaghi is considering to implement some of Novak Djokovic's methods (special diet, yoga, meditation) at Milan.

Good. No idea why more teams don't implement sport science across the board like this.

Need some nicknames for pippo...specialist, analyze master

Any suggestions?

He's Big Pippoin'

Pippoin' aint easy playa

 

[Casualista]

Thats not rocket science why he is leaving bayern.

Because:
a) lewandowski is better
b) guardiolas playing style was not meant for poachers. And guardiola is not obliged to change his style to fit mandzukic. He is an ideologue, so thats completely out of the question.

Now unless someone is telling me inzaghi plays tiki-taka and a passing game (he doesnt, i have seen his youth games) then by all means keep mandzukic away. But if he plays a direct style with pure cfs then he should consider mandzukic.

None of this is a point in favor of balotelli.

 

[Mr. Milanista]

Why would Guardiola at the time coaching the best team in the world bench Ibra who they paid 60 million for and was their best player up until Pep benched him?

Mandzukic can't do what Balotelli does. Sure, he is a more consistent striker but he can't magic goals up from nothing. If we had Mandzukic this year, he would have done around as well as Balo, if not worse, imo. If we had a player like him in the mid-2000s, then yes, he'd be a great option, but that's not the case.

If we get him in addition to keeping Balo, then fine - if it's one or the other, I'd rather have the one who has the skills to do stuff on his own.

Ibrahimovic.

now I'm not saying that we should sell balo and buy mandzu, but Balo can't do what mandzukic is doing either.

What a dumb argument by a dumb poster

 

[Raz]

Mandzukic sucks dicks of opposition GK before the games so they let him score.

 

[Bunnee]

Also, Ibra wasn't their best player, but he was quite effective

 

[Mr. Milanista]

It's a good argument, not realised by a dumb poster.

 

[Casualista]

The only thing balotelli has over him as a player is free kicks. That magic stuff counts for little when it comes with a conversion percentage close to single digits.

Mandzukic won't do shit here. We would still be shit defensively, our midfield will still create shit, and most importantly, we would still finish the league in a shit position.

Only thing he would do is run around more chasing after Abate's magnificent crosses (for which he will be praised to no end by the Bundesposers) and be subject to less racist chants.
