Gimenez is being linked with Liverpool and spurs. I don't think he's as bad as people here think...but I'm not impressed from YT clips

Massimiliano Allegri has given total availability for the transfer to Milan.
Reasoning underway by the company.
There could be a sensational twist.


This would be the greatest thing for RnB ever.
Bring back MDS while you're at it.

There should be no more delaying the CF position.....BUT, if we can't afford a proper CF, than I'd rather not spend money on shit hopeful transfers and then spend all next summer trying to get rid of that same player.
Next summer we will again need 4 players and look for 40/50 mln shiny toy that asks high commissions. And we will say "oh today's players are so expensive... why isn't like in the good old NFL/NBA days Mr. Gerry??"

You see. Now Fonseca looks like a jackpot. It is all about the perspective:)

what the fuck???

How does Fonseca look better than a manager with Seria A titles, and UCL finals appearances???

these opinions Must be coming from the same drugs that have people loving Giroud as our main striker this season

Max is probably the best Serie A manager since the 00s. He is also better with youth than given credit for but in terms of playing style he would be a total 180.

I mean. It's Ukrainian league and fucking shakthar. They are always the best team there. He dint even win the league title with Porto although he only coached for a season.

One coppa sequence title with brage in Portugal.

Lille he has finished what? Top 4? Twice

It's alright. I mean pretty average tbh.
Haven't really achieved anything out of the ordinary with Lille...

Would you rather go to work using a car, or would you rather use a fucking unicycle?
Those type of answers are always making my day.

Grazie Grande Presidente...may them bring back the last good coach (results wise) you brought back home :proud::lol:

With Sassuolo in serie B Berardi should be available and cheap, maybe 10 million or so. Whatever people might say about him the guy is productive scoring 9 goals with 3 assists in only 17 matches this past season due to a serious injury. Changed number and position getting the #10 jersey so could be one of the CAMs for us and the designated free kick taker where he excels at.
Will turn 30 in August so not too old, 1.84 meter tall, great left foot who has also scored with his right, and capable crosser. In the past there were rumors for him at Napoli, Inter, and Juventus but I guess the price for him was too high and he didn't mind staying at a midtable club where he was the big fish in a small pond.
Had he been healthy Sassuolo probably wouldn't have been relegated and he'd be starting for Italy at RW.
I'd take a shot at him as a Super Sub type player with tons of experience.

Yes, total 180. From relegation style defense, to actual defense
The relegation style defense that finished ahead of him. Sticking with Pioli would have been the best decision by far, but more importantly Allegri needs different players than Pioli or Fonseca and the squad will need time to adapt hurting the short term perspective. Basically same reasoning as with Conte only that Max isn't a prima donna and doesn't suck in CL.

I like Max and firing him was a big mistake in hindsight, but like every profile he has his fair share of downsides.

I'm still in shock that Fonseca is considered a jackpot to anyone on the planet, let alone in a Milan forum, when compared to Allegri.

Honestly, the only thing that would make Fonseca look like a Jackpot to me is if AC Milan decided to hire someone from this forum as the manager of Milan. And not all of you, just most. There's maybe 1 or 2 guys that i would be like, "definitely not as good as Fonseca, but worth a try"

Gimenez had a huge dip in form in the second half of the season.
Not only way less goals but way worse play and confidence in the gutter. And that was in the eredivisie at a very dominant team under Slot - i.e. perfect conditions for a striker like him.

Hard pass for me.

It'd be funny if even one person liked the current management over Maldini.
All the players we consider unsellable are here because of him.
While the players we'd happily see sold for anything close to what we bought them for were all bought last summer.
RLC, Musah, Chuk - I'd snap the hand off of anyone offering what we paid for them. No one would've paid what we did then and are even less likely now - after shit seasons.

Imagine Allegri watching Leao play defense. Might be worth it if we can get Max mic'd up just for that. I dont know though Fonseca's achievements in Russia are hard to argue with against Allegri's track record of winning Scudetto's

Playing with kids. And a worse squad than ours for sure. Other than Vlahovic I wouldn't take any of their players to start for us

I bet they could get close to what was put in for Musah and Chuk. Ruben is harder because of age but possible. I wouldnt sell Musah or Chuk though as I think proper coaching would do Musah wonder and Chuk piqued my interest by the seasons' end. Musah finding proper coaching could be done on loan as well which might be ideal.

He doesn't have clips in the build-up phase or something like that; all clips are in the final thirds, so I think that's why no one is getting excited, but he isn't a bad player; he looks very strong but also slow a real Classic 9.

in order i would want : 1.Zirkzee, 2.Sesko 3.Gimenez

When Juventus were playing their best football with Allegri, they were capable of switching 2-3 formations within the same game. Say what you will about his lack of offensive play etc, but he is a great tactician. With Pioli we couldn't play 2-3 formations in 5 years
