Stop it

Darwin scored 20 plus in league and like 7-9 in CL against top teams and went for 80; Lukaku won the league in dominant fashion scoring around 20 goals and also went in that bracket (can't remember the figure).

Hojlund didn't even hit double digits. He hasn't done nearly enough to command that figure.
Am comparing him with Tona.
Hojlund had one great season.
Tona had one bad, one great & one average season.
Hojlund is three years younger than Tona.
STs are much more expensive than B2Bs.

With both getting sold during the same,period, both are overpriced but am gonna say that Tona's price is more absurd than Hojland.

Any of my fellow fans from/in Sarajevo? The wife and I passing through Sarajevo in a month on our way to Herceg Novi (Montenegro). We're staying at Hotel Sana as we were told it's within walking distance to many things. I'm looking for a recommendation on where to get the best Ćevapi. I've had them a million times and my mom makes some amazing ones but we're looking to try them in Sajarevo. Also, any other recommendations are welcome.

Ok, so Pioli was shit because he "didn't have the players he wanted".
It's safe to assume, this mercato is exactly "what he wanted".
Since, he was personally on the phone with like half of those players.

Let's see how he performs this season, right?
Top 4 is all I require. Getting the second star would be a nice bonus.

I still think that he is a below average or average coach at best.We had a 3 game streak at the start of the year where our goal difference was 2-12, we lost 5-2 to fucking Sassuolo.Are you telling me that he had a worse team then Lazio? He benched Thiaw for almost half a year and started him only when we had injury issues, kept playing Diaz as a AMF when everyone saw that he had the best performances as a rw, refused to try CDK as a rw and was starting Messias and Salad.I voted that i think that the next season will be worst then this just becouse he stayed and i know he wont do shit in the CL, cos there is no way we do worse in the league where we realistically finished 5th.

Think you're being a bit harsh in saying he is average or below average tbh. You mentioned that 3 game streak at the beginning of this year. But what about the amazing streak he was on when we were guaranteed to score 2 or more goals in like 15+ plus games.

Thiam was new to the league and there was no way he would be starting after the way our cbs performed at the end of our scudetto run.

Bro cdk is a flop ... glad he didn't try him there. We were a man down everything he played.

We finished 5th due to our poor transfers.

I expect us to do alot better this season. But st the same time I'm happy for Milan to be stable and keep getting those top 4 finishes.

I'm not one to brag about serie a.... but the league is becoming strong again so nothing is guaranteed.

After Real make this offer, Milan should make their loan offer. :lol:


How much greedy & hateful you need to be to make sure the club that gambles on you will not have a chance to make some money.
I despize players like him & Donna.

is musah a "disaster signing" because of his whoscored rating? :lol:

it's clear as day the ENTIRE mgmt prioritized him. they've watching countless tape of him, likely scouted him several times in person. I think they have a better feel on who and what he is than any of us who watched him on youtube and checked what a bunch of dweebs on sofifa say about him.

if he's the player we saw at the WC, he'll be just fine

Zmaj (dragon) at train station imo. Also other type of meat. Maybe try pljeskavica there also. "Raznjici" etc.
U can try at old town other, Ferhatovic etc. They re fine.

Recomend Kastel at old town. Its different type of cevapi, where u get small pepperoni. I love it.

Brajlovic has great meat on other side of town.

But there re other types of food, pite etc.which u can try.

For desert i recomend "tufahija".

I don’t see us turning Musah into a CDM, but he can play as the LCM in a 433 and tirelessly cover for Theo, allowing him the freedom that Kessie used to enable.

Maybe that could also work in a 4231 with him again playing on the left side and being Theo’s protector.

He strikes me as our Kessie replacement.

Imagine him recovering the ball in the corner and then charging forward with it, Theo and Leao already waiting for him up ahead. You get the effect Kessie used to allow for where Theo can do whatever the fuck he wants knowing Musah is back there.

I think Tijjani and RLC are here as bonafide starters. DM will be Krunic until Isma returns with sub appearances by Musah, who will also be depth for the mezzalas together with Pobega and Adli/CDK if they stay.

That's for the three man midfield. Musah seems closer to playing time for the games where we use a pivot.

I guess we're approaching due date on the birth of negativity squad 2023/2024.

Key selling points at the clubhouse:

- Lack of DM
- Pioli despite his achievements has no idea what he's doing because of Adli.
- Life sucks, why not promote it to others?

This makes me laugh the most. Turning on Pioli for not playing some ligue ugh kid.

Grow up

Agree.

But, we don't need "fine". We need a top cm next to Reijnders and Rlc

100%. This summer we're actually recruiting players for the coach and the management is working in synergy with his new style. That wasn't the case last summer. I saw the vision with CDK, but he turned out to be a bet that never took off, Vrancxk/Pobega replacing Kessie was inevitably never going to be a success, Dest a quick-fix after Florenzi's injury and I highly doubt Pioli was clamouring for Origi. Only success was Thiaw, but we only discovered that in February.

This summer is different and there's pressure on Pioli as we're giving him players he's asking for, especially in midfield considering we've reconstructed that department. We're signing €20m players who feels like the right profiles. Out with the old and sluggish in Rebic & Messias and in with the new and transformative in Chukwueze and Pulisic. After the Tonali sale, we could've well splashed most of that money on a big marquee signing in the €40m - €50m range to send the fans in a state of euphoria, but I'm happy with our modus operandi of recruiting not the most glamorous names, but highly effective players for the system.

well, isn't that Bennacer? that's what everyone seems to think, anyways.

so you sign a top DM and then what, when Benny comes back? Or is benny not a DM for you either?

for me, he'd be best sitting right in front of the defense,

Just saw the news regarding that Pole we signed earlier. Moncada must've found a goldmine there, last year we bought Stalmach for €700k.
