The Rumour Commode XLI: Ragnarok

My corporate type A spidey sense is giving me failed "market disruptor" vibes. That's my issue.

I don’t feel it.

 

[Samaldinho]

I have not played in several years. I had to travel 40ish mins for close games, over an hour for others.. got tired of committing 5+ hours on sundays to then only have 10 guys show up.

Oh, that's the worst. I feel sad now, I wanna organize a game for you for real now.

 

[vB9]

All these ex B&G players who became coaches have a screw loose thinking they must do deals inviting agents and family for caviar on tropical islands

 

[sheva]

Ciprian Tatarusanu, Brahim Diaz, Aster Vranckx, Tiemoue Bakayoko and Sergino Dest have already said goodbye to the squad, because their contracts or their loan deals expire at the end of the month. The total salary quota has already been reduced by over €12m net, therefore.

Next Rebic and Origi will reduce it by a lot

now let's see how moncada and furlani actually can make a sale like they sold their soul to gerry

 

[Wild]

I made you cry with the Lebanese jokes, didn't I?

if I actually did offend you, please let me know, as I'd like to apologize, sincerely

Why would i answer that when thinking it happened make you happy ?
I was crying like a little baby.

 

[Wild]

Where is the interview mentioning that Maldini wanted Pirlo ?!

 

[Ryo]

Lol so you think MF are going to just strictly sign a bunch of 20yo even if there's a phenomenal market opportunity up for grabs aka the midfield equivalent of Dybala (but slightly older and better) who Furlani was strongly pushing for last summer?

Also, Giroud has proven to be an excellent signing whose goals helped to win the league and progress further in the CL and he was signed straight after winning the competition with Chelsea

Dybala was a Maldini non-call, but Giroud was also a Maldini call. It was his ask to bring in players with experience that would aid the team, Ibra being the prime example. Pioli never asked management for experienced players. So why would you expect him or the management who have all been focusing on "youth with high resale value" to go for a Gundogan?

 

[Kojak]

i mean they can accept not to move on and just stay benched and get paid similar to Baka this season

Anything is possible but Cardinale is pretty ruthless i.e. M&M so I don't think they'd just stick around for nothing.

moncada had been an employee at this club for years, what are you even saying?

 

[Samaldinho]

Brazil right now is really good ???

Sorry - that aint the level I think they are at now.

Really good for Brazil standards? No. But good in the current environment of world football? Yes.

France has so much more talent than anyone else, it's absurd. I think we are in a pretty diluted period on the international level, talent seems much more dispersed than before.

But this Brazil team is pretty good, they have a strong roster if you look at it.

Lol, seeing your Argentine fandom is so interesting btw.

 

[cartman]

In american sports you can have mediocre, even bad teams and still your stadium be full and the club making profits.
In mid table teams like atalanta or toulouse you can be slightly good and have huge profits.
In football giants like A.C Milan if you have mediocre teams for one or two seasons or if you sell constantly your best players for profit eventually the fans will turn their back on you.
I dont believe these harvard boys understand this. Its not a matter of loyalty. Its a matter of respect to our winning history and culture.

Youth project DOESN'T mean every single signing has to be <30...you can have a handful of experienced players in the side like Kjaer, Giroud + Ibra to guide the youngsters but not too many i.e. GKs, Florenzi + Messias etc.

Like I said before, Gundogan has been the best mid in football this season and will be coming off a treble and bring leadership and a winning mentality to the side which is sorely needed following the departures of Maldini + Ibra.

I can't think of a reason why they WOULDN'T want him.

Did I mention he's really fucking awesome?!!

 

[Wild]

how is moncada already working so fast?

The guy is a genius.
Wake up & smell the roses pumpkin.

 

[Berlusconi]

Amazing reasoning.

you said we regressed, but we performed better every year since we let go of Hakan. So individually if we signed a better player is a pointless argument since as a team we have done much better.

That turkish idiot is not worth mentioning on this forum. And we didn't lose him for free because of incompetence, we lost him for free because he's a little gay boy and disrespected our management by agreeing terms verbally then signing for inter behind our back

What do you think the 3 year plan RedBird has for Milan?

I can think at least eight million€ reasons that they wouldn't want him.

Setting my Argentinean fandom aside, a Brazil NT that gets to the quarters is nothing to write home about so everything after your opening statement is only trying to hide that fact
I think moving on from Neymar and Vini taking center stage they may go back up another level and some of their strikers are just not to my liking.

As for Paqueta, he is ok, a player they too pushed as being the next and an attacking mid no. 10 and then they also woke up from that stupid idea - it wasnt only Pioli

 

[Neruda2.0]

Gundogan is basically begging us to join the club...I hope that RedBird prioritise this as he's probably been the best midfielder in the world this season and a big factor behind City's potential treble. Also, a signing of this magnitude would put us back on the map and bring leadership and a winning mentality in a time of crisis.

Hopefully Baldanzi gets signed too because he's currently on fire at the u20 World Cup.

he is ?

 

[Kojak]

He's currently on 4m net which is 5m gross with the GDT.

 

[brk]

My Twitter twin continues to uncannily share my opinions.

 

[sheva]

Get ready for this in a few years but replace Paqueta with CDK doing that goofy dance after he wins trophies with some English side or Bayern. Hopefully Milan fans remember then when we called him a dork and a loser.

no need to wait

dork and a loser

 

[Kojak]

he is ?

I was gonna do this under more ceremonious conditions, but alas... :( This season’s Top 3 Rossoneri have come to an end and I have prepared a little rant. First of all, thank you for taking part. It’s been fun to see you guys vote incorrectly because you don’t understand what a Top 3 is, voting...

Our display was better when we had him even if we win after he left.
Hakan > Diaz & CDK combined.
He is free to think about his career & i dont hold it against him & i urge Milan to deal with players with the club best interest in mind.

 

[cartman]

The 3 year plan of Redbird is sell our best players and find new ones to develop. In the meantime 3rd or 4th place to qualify for Ch.L. Also they believe that attendance will be high and with steady revenues as if the fans want to see other european teams trash us in the next years. Imagine the pain when inter sews the second star before us.

 

[Kojak]

It must be pretty awkward being Daniel Maldini right about now!

He can also go to Inter.

Of those, PSG's value is the one I question the most.

City makes sense because it is in the EPL. Real's valuation doesn't mean anything because you can't buy Real, even if you wanted to.

But I wonder if anyone would actually buy PSG because of how far back Ligue 1 is from the other leagues. PSG is like a white elephant.

Or am I off? I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

I don't know.... This is the number given by the analysts. I think it's because of PSG star players like Mbappe, Neymar, Messi,that they have a huge amount of mind share. Everyone knows about these players and everyone now knows about PSG. PSG was the new Galacticos like when Real had Zidane, Figo, R9, Beckham. And we saw how the Galacticos increases the profile and the revenues of Real

I can see why a big sponsor would want to spend a large amount for the PSG shirt sponsorship. They sell PSG / Mbappe shirts like crazy. And then PSG is in Paris, which is one of the top cities in Europe. It seems Ligue 1 is also coming up with some rich owners like the Nice owner and the Rennes owner.

 

[Samaldinho]

I don’t feel it.

I'd love to be wrong.

 

[Milan10]

Actually, on second thought, I'm leading the rebellion against the evil empire so really... if you think about it...

ruthlessness means fuckall in this case. origi can just decide to spend the next few years collecting the paycheck and staying benched..its not like he was used to playing at lpool anyways
