Brahim was tested at RW last season and was fucking horrible. He’s shown some promise there this season and should continue being tried there but its simply not true this idea that it’s so obvious to play him there

Would be a 9/10 mercato

If they can get Milinkovic-Savic, instead of Loftus it would be 10/10

Diaz had a few games where he was better as a RW than AM, he also looked better than Messais & Sale.
However his level at RW isnt enough.
Whats not making sense ?
What's not making sense? The RW market.

Even if we got the proper RW. Ludovic Blas is the answer, btw. We still need attacking depth.

Brahim at 20m doesn't offend me, Lozano was like 45m and Correa was 35m. If our budget is 50m, I get the trepidation, but I still think the fact that your response is Baldanzi and Ziyech makes me not take your complaints seriously.

Milan transfer market, Openda has accepted the transfer to the Rossoneri: first contacts with Lille for the forward​

As reported by calciomercato.com , there has been an important turning point regarding the Milan transfer market . Openda, the Lens striker and real passion for Massara , would have given the go-ahead for the transfer to the Rossoneri, remaining favorably impressed by the dialogues with the Diavolo management.

Maldini has already had the first contacts with Lens by memorizing the request of the French club: to sell the striker, a figure just under 40 million euros is needed. Milan are convinced they can lower the figure to around 25 million. Works in progress.

Read on GDS that Milan is considering Dalot on a free. I think the only way he'd comeback would be as a starter as he's made enormous progress since his first stint with the club.

So you prefer Krunic over SMS, Diaz over Kamada, and Messias over Berardi?
With Giroud as our starter number 9 i don't care if we have De Bruyne and Rodrygo, we can't play with Giroud next year. Berardi is so mediocre, we deserve better

Now i'm worried.
Massara also had a real passion for Origi.

I would've been funny if it was true. I don't recall anyone here claiming Spaletti is some amazing coach.

Talking about Mikautadze and Ligue 2 players...

Meh - doesn't look good enough to me. Only way I could potentially get on board is if we let Krunic go. Don't want two midfielders who are never going to be world class in the squad.


Seems to me all his goals and assists are from set pieces - he takes pens.

Weird that he's a set piece taker, but a lot of the clips stop just as he releases the pass (meaning they must be bad) and there are already a few left in which are bad crosses too.

I would still instantly take Ziyech over diaz.

Im fine with diaz staying if it’s closer to 15 mil. I wouldn’t pay 20+

I don't trust the Openda rumours. For me, he also has pretty big bust potential.

I have a bad feeling about this

We're going to have Diaz orphan's next year aren't we lol...

He's not worth a penny more than 10mil. If Madrid believe in him so much, give them 10mil plus a large percentage of any future sale over 10mil.

Also, if he's a future star why are there no rumours of another Spanish team being interested?

Anyone that sees Diaz as a 20+ mil player, wow, just wow... And don't quote 35mil for CDK.

Put inflated fees based on the player being a "future star" to the side. We've had Diaz three years and his progression simply hasn't convinced me. All this chat about him being a good kid and loving Milan... My kids a good lad, loves Milan, only 6yo, could be a future star, do you think Milan will give me some good cash for him lol.

It's all just papertalk and I dont for one minute believe Real actually want 30mil lol. Id say they'd love 20mil for him... As I said though, that's 10mil more than I'd pay!

And Ziyech > Diaz x

I think Madrid knows they could sell diaz to a midtable epl club for more than we would pay for him(they definitely could) and I hope this will make the deal hard. It’s not the end of the world to keep him though. He clearly wants to stay, his will is probably the only thing that can get a deal done

If Brighton bought him for 20/25 mil - a season there and his value could easily double too.

Isn't this the case with everyone? Why do you think this for him specifically?

Rumors are Maldini is trying to negotiate it down under 20m.

Brahim was bought for like 20m by Real, I dont think he has a real market, and they could make a profit on him by selling him even for like 18m.

I like Brahim as our Elmas, I don't want him as a nailed on starter, but I think he can be useful.

nah it's literally the easiest possible decision

and yes I'm sure Berlusconi has also committed assault and I'm delighted he's not involved with the club anymore

we can't know whether our favourite players are good people off the pitch but we can have the very very low bar of not signing confirmed rapists

100% agree.

It was very hard to play the moral game even with Inter/Juve or the fans of others teams when he had Berlusconi as our president who is a morally questionable person and also corrupted. After he left and we are now essentially a pretty clean club, it’s so easy to shit on them, especially Juventus and I love that so :lol:

Honestly I won’t even say my standards are high. But r@pists? Yeah a big fat no.

Stop YouTube Scouting.

Imagine if instead of Vranckx we had a player like him who plays set pieces well.

Surely we wouldn't have to worry about Champions League qualification today because we would have more than 5 goals from Set Pieces.

I think he would be a good addition to the midfield especially with Bennacer out. But I don't think we are interested.

At the end value, need, price,… everything fits.

I don’t agree, I think you downplay what epl teams can convince themselves of.

I agree that we will look at him under 20 and I’d be ok with that. You’re right he shouldn’t be a key player but can be useful. But there are definitely English teams that would look at him. He has experience learning at City, was wanted by Madrid, and now has 3 seasons at Milan with a title win and CL semi run in there.

We as Milan fans focus on what frustrates us about him but he does have some good qualities and I think a team would pay 25 or even 30 tbh on him.

So why aren't Real pushing him to these mid-table clubs and making the profit themselves?

Im finding it interesting that so many are justifying ways to sign a kid that for me doesn't have that high a ceiling, and is physically not great shall we say.

He's got heart for sure, but he is a very limited player, why are so many people so invested in us picking him up?

Is he a CAM, no, is a he a winger? SS? What is he, do we need him or are we just looking at an easy option?

He does seem like a good kid, and Messias, what a great story, I'm genuinely happy for him, what memories he has, and a millionaire from being a delivery driver, what 5 years ago?

But are they what we need to move forward? Are they the quality we're desperately needing?

They aren't, let's be honest...let's move on.

Emmanuel Gyasi, captain of Spezia, spoke to calciomercato.com about Daniel Maldini:

“Maldini impresses me more in training, he has important shots. He doesn't realize how strong he is and how much physical strength he has.”

Carlo Ancelotti was absolutely blameless for that defeat. All the players fault
Dude..
Then you can't blame Pioli for the derby defeats.
Carlo has to take the blame for Deportivo and PSV (we scraped through at the end). We got outplayed in those games despite having an infinitely better team.
I don't blame him for Istanbul though - that was pure bad luck with the Sheva and Tomasson misses.
