Agree

It'll be interesting seeing a big club go down this path. I think out of all the sports, football has the potential for the highest return with an analytical approach because of how free the market is
Disagree - football is too fluid and I think many things are missed / cant be captured correctly.

It definitely has its place and helps but if it didnt work fully in a super structured game like baseball, how is it going to help you sit at the table with the clubs who dwarf you in spending and also utilize these same analytics tools that you do.

Don't know if posted, a closer look at the plot we're reportedly looking at for the stadium.

ADL's misery was the highlight of our season.

Lol ELKey going on a liking spree from 2 WEEKS ago! :LOL:

Do you think he got the memo that Maldini got fired yet? :lol:

Love the brother!
No, he's probably crying now because of Ibra's farewell

Apparently Camarda is already 6ft hence the promotion to the Primavera along with his prolific goalscoring.
Nah - I think they want to continue to challenge him, its not just about his stature and I fully support it.

I didn't know that was happening, that's very interesting.

Market-wise, yes, there's no doubt that the potential of being able to grab players for nominal fees makes the incentive for scouting even greater.

I wonder what draft picks would be valued at if a team could just buy a number one pick or whatever?


The thing is, it seems like all our youth categories below the primavera are doing very well, so I wonder what sort of changes they saw that needed that sort of revolution?

Even if it does work, of course, there's still an immediate need for this season. We need Italians or at least, Italian-trained players.
They are doing well and there seems to be a lot of talent but the club needs to do a better job implementing these players into the first team

Most of the top Italian clubs rely on youth players in the first team in one way or another

Hopefully a more holistic approach accomplishes that and is the aim

Background: confirmations arrive to what was written by @Corriere this morning. Cardinale had proposed a consultant role to Maldini, a proposal never taken into consideration by the former director of the technical area



I’m getting confused man.

Is maybe Gerry really not that bad? Did the cold statements happen because Maldini lashed out? What happened in that room I need to know asap

I need to know Maldini’s side. We know Gerry’s already

Gerry does not and will not have a connection with the players, this is a company hierarchy with a trickle down structure. Gone are the days of attacare. Gordon singer came to see games like milan-empoli because he genuinely loves the team, gerry came to 1 cl match and to the last match just to fire Maldini.

If reports are true that he will be more present and hands on next year he has an uphill battle to fight.
Real talk...
Imagine gerry entering the lockeroom..

I'm really interested to see how Moncada is going to navigate the Italian market, because, even if he gets rid of all the players who take up those foreigner spots, eventually, he's going to need to have some Italian players in the squad.
Oh no , there is no way out of that.
Seppuku the team.

MilanNews is reporting that when Massara was saying his goodbyes to the staff at Casa Milan, there was a lot of hugs and great emotions--Maldini and Massara were well liked there.

They sound like tyrants.

I don’t get why they want Zlatan?

Zlatan is way more outspoken than Maldini and he’s not the type that will be so willing to give in to Gerry’s demands or way of doing. Maldini is way more diplomatic than him.

So I don’t get this move.

DiStefano saying Ibiza bar deals are no more. Moncada didn't agree with that approach. Now they're slandering Maldini' legendary trips? Theo?

If you're Pioli out... then... I'm like modern death metal and you're Metallica.

I don't listen to death metal, nor Metallica, but... I think that makes sense.


Hm, the free-market aspect actually is a good point.

I just wonder where the limit of data is since the sport doesn't have the discreet segmentation of roles, parameters, and point scoring that American sports lend themselves to, y'know?


Current data science / machine learning is much, much, more advanced than from the time of `Billy Bean. Just for example ChatGPT is trained on millions of lines of text and is trained just to predict the next word given the previous sequence of words. And just from this simple objective and only the training data it's able to figure by itself the rules of grammar, hidden rules of language semantics, mathematics, simple computer programming, translating languages....

That I why I think having someone like Moncada could work out if he's given enough resources, which isn't clear he will. Still I don't like the cheapness and crassness of Cuntinale at all. They guy has no class at all. He looks more like some street swindler.
