Hey, that’s probably at least a 75m transfer window there.

Sergej 30
Brahim 15
Loftus 15
Parisi 15
Thuram free
Kamada free
Sportiello free

That’s being very generous with the discounts and not including any inevitable sign on fees for the free transfers. I thought I was being unreasonably ambitious to be honest.
Bro our weakest area you got CDGAY and Diaz as our options

CF and RW need a serious upgrade not an expected upgrade (XU)

Get your facts right, I’m realistic force. I created a new faction with brother @Curupira as my main man for a reason.
I get what you saying lil bro, but what you are asking for - hold people responsible as if we didn't make CL - isn't very realistic.

I've laid out over the last few weeks that even if we get to EL next season Pioli is probably still our best bet unless the right profile came along and became available. We definitely not letting him go now we got a life line, more likely to give him some more tools for his "cave man tactics" and see how we do next season in league and Europa.

Terrible take. Why do you sound more angry now then before Juve’s point deduction?
Juve have always cheated and continue to cheat. What makes you think they deserve the CL more than us? They wouldn’t have the squad they have today had it not been for cheating. They wouldn’t be in 2nd had they not cheated.

Also, Pioli is here to stay. He deserves another season with a better mercato this time. We can’t expect him to perform miracles when the owners aren’t doing their part by investing in the team. Also, I don’t see any alternatives that are better than him at the moment so it’s a moot point.

The fact that you and @Alo88 agree with my posts means that it’s a complete misjudgement from R&B to put you guys part of the positivity force.

But that’s okay, let me fix it.

In the same interview where he said he’s not thinking about the market and we’ll decide everything calmly in the summer he professed his undying love for Brahim and how he’s a magical player and that he hopes he stays.

Yeah I think it’s Pioli who wants Brahim.
I don’t think this is totally wrong but I think it’s an exaggeration. Look at the precedent.

During our title run in Brahim was dropped for Kessie/Krunic in the important games. In the first half of this season(when we were still toward the top of the league), CDK was clearly given his chance as the starter and did start a lot of games over Brahim. Brahim took his chance to regain his starting spot when others failed this season.

I think Pioli does like him, but I’m hoping Madrid asks for too much and we move on. He’s not a bad player to have in the team but I think we can find other options easy enough.

Kamada and the Gimenez kid would be good marketing signing, Japanese fans + the crazy passionate mexicans.

But Paul isn’t that clever

Musah from Valencia fur the Murican marker as well lol

Spend 22m for someone at least with SOME guarantees or trust management to find him another CdK while the fans expect better football

SMS would be amazing but be realistic guys - english clubs will easily offer 30+ mil for him and give bigger wages. Plus he’s 28 so cardinale will say no doesn’t fit our project.

Apparently Gerry obted for Dybala in summer and Ziyech in Winter while Maldini obted for CDK in Summer and Zaniolo in Winter. I'm not sure if this young player obsession still stands for the new ownership.

Seems like i was watching bernardo silva play. His dribbling, passing and ball carrying are very similar to bernardo silva. Except that he is much taller and faster with alot of fighting spirit. We need more fighters in our team. Too many laid back players like Leao, Cdk etc
:thumbsup:

Great comparison...his dribbling in tight spaces is excellent plus he seems to have a very good shot on him + final ball. However, my only concern is that he seems a bit too ONE-FOOTED (I hardly saw him using his right foot in the clips above).

Still, he's miles better than both Salad + Messias combined and would be a huge upgrade.

Welcome to the Realistic Force

:lol:

I always felt part of the realistic force, even when people back then called it the positivity force. But for me there were more than enough reasons to be realistically positive so... does that make sense?

Now things have changed for me concerning Pioli, but not overnight, I gave him a couple of months. I remember after January saying doubts are growing in me if he still is the coach that should steer the ship into the next season but I'll reserve my judgements until the end of the season. Well, I lasted until the Semifinals "only" tbf, but the way he just went out there in the 2nd leg, repeating what wasn't working for the bazillionth time and not even opposing to it until the 77th minute when Inter finally scored... in an Euroderby that could be remembered for eternity of Inter wins the CL final... that truly broke me.

FIGC and the football Gods are with us, and I've said many times that I think if MM haven't exactly hit a strike with last summers Mercato, Pioli has some big shares in making it look worse than it was, so for me, nothing has changed about my opinion about Pioli.

I’ve conceded that Piolito will stay, my hope is that he’ll learn from this season and improve. This season isn’t a learning point just for the players but for everyone involved.

Because someone beat him to the Bonaventura thread on reddit and he missed out on that sweet reddit karma

When Bonaventura wins the ECL and Coppa Italia I’ll be the first one to open a Bonaventura thread in the Milan section.

Mark my words

We’re keeping Pioli if he we make CL. Pioli loves Brahim. We will let him keep his favorite toy.
Paolo loves Brahim more and given what we have seen during the season why wouldnt Pioli want to keep him.
We bought his replacement last summer and it flamed out.

Vlasic was too expensive, RDP too expensive, they finally spend on CDK and it hasnt worked so if this Kamada freebie doesnt materialize its back to Brahim.

The fact that no one is posting meltdowns from the Juve forum shows how old we are.

If this was in 2015 screenshots would have filled the thread

A couple of weeks ago no one was talking about Kamada, but now the whole forum is jizzing about the thought of signing him. Would you all want him if he wasn't a free agent?
Never wanted him even when his name was brought up originally by Sam
He's an oriundo from Argentina bro.
Argentinean born who plays for Mexico plying his trade in Holland - and his highlights are worse than CDK .... but people wish-casting him as the next

Gazzetta says 25 should be enough for Milinkovic because his contract expires in 2024
IF it is going to be 25M, then for sure there's gonna be a bidding war.
Y'all know that MMM don't do bidding wars.
