Theo and Leao both with heartfelt and PROFESSIONAL farewells to Maldini.

Both play for the shirt, not the person. Love it.
But but but the players should revolt & fans should riot.
Team should explode.
Notice that those people are the same who said Barca & Inter will vanish from the universe :lol:

Tolosa is about to sign Ibrahim Cissoko LW from NEC, he is 20 years old. Moneyball at it's finest

nepo baby maldini hiring an ex-milan player as new coach doesn't sound too farfetched

Wanting Pirlo is :poop: but I think Paolo had had enough of Pioli's style of football which relies too much on individual brilliance and not the collective.

Moncada I agree is proven with monaco

I support who I want to. Atalnta doesn't interest me. You can piss off though

well, if your braindead and i have to explain it for you as to a second grader, by your logic it's atalanta who we will becoming, a club with no real ambitions, just to survive, who will sell their best player every transfer window, reinvest part of the money, and maybe finish top four from time to time.
so, again, kindly, gtfo

The amount of shit being piled on Maldini, and talking about performance... a list of transfers with X's (ooo) with most of them loaned players. Leao would have been an X btw after his first TWO years here, people wanted to sell him the summer before he exploded, Tonali after his first year also would have been an X. So... yah.

"Don't believe reports" but then you guys parrot the idea Maldini wanted Arnautovic, Berardi... and now he wanted Pirlo? Rumors were about Italiano before he got fired btw lol..

It wasn't about money but then you criticize Maldini for asking for more money publicly?

But yeah, it's just business... yknow, performance evaluation. Corporate America cut throat efficiency, lol. The land of incompetence and taxpayer funded bail outs.

But sure, let's pretend that this situation really is about performance...

Pioli is still fucking here? Pioli?

Pioli who can't beat Spezia? Or bottom half teams in general? Speaking of shit teams... Can't figure out Inter... four fucking times in 2023?

Pioli who can't hire fitness staff to keep our players fit for years?

I'm sorry, this doesn't look good to me. I have been described as a positivity force person, and I just do not see the positives here.

I am a Milan fan, and I want Milan to beat everyone and win everything, always. I hope that Pioli turns into Pep and Carlo combined and Moncada is Braida while Furlani is Galliani.

But they have an uphill battle to convince me.

We had our chance last season with Investcorp, i know they would have bought Anthony and Nunez

Antony beats women and Nunez isn't clinical enough yet.

I heard Paolo was patient zero for COVID-19 and he caught it eating an American deep pan pizza... Italians should never eat American pizza we've now learnt!

Silly Paolo...

I don’t see why I should see any positives right now with that RedBird are doing. I’ll give them the Mercato for sure to see what they’re made off. But Redbird has yet to show anything. Who will Pioli & Moncada sign? What’s the budget? Until then we’ll be in gloom and rightfully so until they do something to change the situation.

I also heard Paolo raw-dogged your mum and your dad licked his cock clean afters, all while you watched... is this true?

No judgement, but that's some weird shit... Fuck and Maldini is an animal!!!
Is it that far fetched that Maldini is a narcist ?
I mean most geniuses are like that & Maldini is for sure one.
We for sure know that he forced his approach on RB.
We also know for sure that he failed in his first season using his approach.
Is it that hard to think owners should ask him to ease the fuck up ?
Come on man.
I love Maldini but its as obvious as day.

He was supposed to be a great strategist but cold and heartless, isn't he the guy who said the end justify the means?. They even invented a word for him, "Machiavellian". I haven't looked it up but wasn't he an adviser to Cesare Borgia, the son of Rodrigo who became pope?
He formed a militia that took pisa and lost it to the Medicis backed by the pope a few years later.

His military prowess and command are not noteworthy. His words in the prince are. It was he who advised others to use your own people and not hire mercenary's to build an army. He advised to lie to the Pope about your servitude to God to receive his blessings, gold, and armies. He blew the gasket on the politicians way of cunning, bribery, and other foul play. This is why we study Machiavelli. He's the only politician to tell the commoner how it is. We study men like Alexander, Caeser, William, etc to give us incite how how to be a great leader of men. We study Machiavelli to open our minds to the corruption that gets these men there. Both are necessary.

Goals/Assists this season (without penalties):

Dybala: 16 G/A
Brahim Diaz: 16 G/A
One was qualified world class, the other a failure.

Rome market expenditure in the last 2 seasons: 152M euros - two sixth places THE SPECIAL ONE.

Milan is systematically attacked for failures, others rise up because they are average.

The narrative of things being cut throat and about performance while keeping Pioli makes my eyes roll so far back that I look at my own skull now.

I heard Pioli has a mangina and likes to watch 70s porn because it reminds him of when he had hair...

Why would Redbird buy a club the size of Milan if their goal is to make players and sell them for big profits, especially why would they pay 1.2b for it when they can do the same at a much smaller club like Touluose, why would they insist on building a new stadium without Inter if they are not interested in Milan growing, they can make players and sell them for profit in the current state without new stadium, you think that the number of spectators per game will be more than 70000 if we sell Leao, Theo, Mike and become Udinese as some here write, you think that we will attract new sponsors with such status, these people are not fools and this proves their ruthlessness in decision-making, great results require great sacrifices

There are reports on Milan News that Maldini wanted Berardi, Arnautovic and SMS but now they're no longer on the list.
Also that we might try for Scamacca but only on loan, which I wouldn't mind.
The rest of the transfer market is a mystery except for Kamada, but I hope we get at least a couple of proven players on a Bosman because relying exclusively on young unknown talent is too much of a gamble. It will be an interesting transfer season, that's for sure.

Moncada would have gotten us Enzo even though he was the one who scouted and loved CDK so I can't wait to see his brilliance and I will give him a solid... single year to evaluate him on our... youth project.

Young players are notorious for showing their full worth right away, so that's a good plan, right?

Because I am a cut throat business man who is smart and ruthless.

I heard Paolo demanded Gerry call him Lord King Paolo the 1st... It was a straw to far.

The rest is history... I like history x

Did we not have a 40m budget last year?
What is so hard to believe about a 35m budget this summer?

Meanwhile not a single time was pirlo mentioned in media before today.

So let me ask you which one is more realistic?

It actually was closer to 0M if you want to use the term of a budget. As @brk laid out, we trimmed the squad costs year after year, even last summer, which came as a big negative surprise for #teamPositivity. If we're going to do it again this summer, I'll probably be right there in the front row at Casa Milan with you rioting against Redbird. But, again, the way journalists throw the word budget around attached to a number that changes every other day - it's just not how this works.

What's more realistic? The most realistic is both news are bullshit. But if you really made me pick, I go for the Pirlo news because again, budgets as in "tesoretto" don't exist.

I'm not saying I believe the Pirlo bs tho. I really don't. I'm just saying, between these two, that's the one who could be real assuming Maldini had actually lost the plot. And I'm one of the few guys here who even after the Juve win two weeks ago said I'd rather fire Pioli than Maldini if I had a say... I'm not at all happy with this situation. I'm happy with Furlanis words, but now I expect actions. Not only on the mercato but also in terms of handling the team who just lost their leader and their father figure within 24 hours.

But there's some border line behaviour here even from people I wouldn't expect that I'm kinda loosing it. I need to calm down and enjoy the ride instead :lol:

Why can it never be milan


We don't have our own stadium ;)

I have no idea, Toulouse has some great young players and just signed another one (Cissoko)

My point is ppl are crying about Beane, but RedBird already has an analytical group in charge.
