The Rumour Commode XLVI: Jetski for Prick edition

[Samaldinho]

Rw is cdk and Brahim’s best position but Brahim could hold it down at cam better than cdk. By starting them both, you solve two issues since you don’t have to bench either of them and you’re not playing an inferior player on the right. Cdk as false 9 could work but it’s a gamble, playing him on the right is more of a guarantee and is closer to his natural position.

Yeah, I agree. I wish we bought Brahim instead of paying 28m for Chuk, he's a more versatile player and he's much better than Chuk. There are plenty of reports that said we could have bought Brahim for around the price we paid for Chuk, and as a RW, I was a fan of Brahim, though I couldn't stand him as a CAM, but he could play there, if needed.

CDK? Cannot play at CAM, he just can't, and Gasp realized this and his position (and role) is so different to what we asked him to do.

We're very lucky Pulisic is working out.

I’m getting a we stick with Fonseca after a draw/fluke win this weekend vibe.

Or Tudor.

This club will never make a good decision.

Wait until 40k atendece in the next champions League game

 

[sheva]

I feel like Sarri might hit Leao in training before Feb

 

[ZBoban]

Even if they sack Fonseca I don't trust these clowns to appoint the right replacement.

 

[Forza AC Milan]

wtf are this tudor rumors?

We replace back to back again fodders with fodders?

Low salary and no ability to make demands so fits our profile

Napoli learnt the hard way penny pinching on a quality coach costs you more in the end

 

[sheva]

Shakhtar was arguably a better team than milan is now. Also Terzic atleast looked like a decent Klopp replacement. Only thing I dislike is that he is a big game choker. But he is still young and can give more than Sarri who flopped everywhere recently.

big game choker?

that's ok, maybe then we can beat the likes of torino and parma

 

[Kaka92]

I would like to believe that this time they will make a smarter decision, it is clear that we cannot risk the top 4 and that we do not need another coach on the payroll if something goes wrong. This time they have to make a smarter and safer move with minimal risk, and it's not Terzić or Tudor.

Speaking of which, Sarri or Allegri are safe bets because they know the league and bring quality and authority in their own way (I just hate Allegri's terror ball, but I can't argue that he would improve this team).



But considering how they navigate this club, I wouldn't be surprised if they make another mistake. Unfortunately, we have reached the stage where I no longer believe in anyone's abilities and decisions in this club.

 

[Samaldinho]

I’m honestly not even being pessimistic when I say we will not make the solid choice. It’s a truism now.

After Giampaolo’s er, misadventure came to an end, the choices were Pioli and Spalletti. I knew we’d go for the cheaper version. And so we did.

This summer out of all the names, Fonseca and Lope were the worst. We went for one of them.

This club’s MO with picking coaches is thus. I don’t expect any choice that will elevate the level of this team.

I shit you not, Ibra will go for Tudor because of his background before he goes for a grizzled head like Sarri who asks questions and demands answers.

Sarri doesn't have the financial demands of Spaletti, and quite frankly, De Zerbi didn't this summer, either. Neither option was pursued.

At least Pioli had flashes of something before coming to Milan, and he handled the tragic death of Astori and Fiorentina really well, but... Tudor?

Sarri would not cost Spalletti money. Our team needs development, tactics, and guidance. The idea that our team just needs discipline is wrong, in my view. People just want to punish the players, and Conte's whole thing is not just yelling at players, but telling them what to do, showing them, he has a plan.

Sarri is too good an option to not take, it would infuriate me to get Tudor, who has done nothing of note.

 

[Ryo]

Apologies... thought you had autocorrected on Tuchel, as he has been linked to us and was a heavy topic on the discussion flag. Didn't occur to me that anyone could actually be throwing the manager TUDOR into the mix... unless making a statement of just how truly crap our choices are.

You need to look again mate, I wasn't the one you were originally replying to.

Just pointing out the discrepancies in the Commode, it's hard to follow opinions of everyone here when they aren't even talking about the same guy.

Tuchel, Tudor, Terzic, I have no opinion on any of them because I've never watched them coach.
The only thing I don't want is Tuchel because he won't get along with Pulisic, and because he's part of this dumb meme :

Yeah, but Sarri has a spine.

His character rules him out.

 

[SecondStar]

Retegui is a mental midget. How do you miss that header?

 

[Ryo]

I see Neverlusen thumped Feyenoord.
Yeah "hooopefully" we can get a point off them.

 

[Samaldinho]

Yeah, but Sarri has a spine.

 

[nonsonoqui]

You know what I mean though right?

This ownership won’t pick someone who during a fit of pique may question the mercato, for example.

I get what you're saying, and, unfortunately, I think you're right.

Could we say that Fonseca's comments about Sales, wanting to keep him, or his little spat with Ibra about the market count as these sorts of "incidents" that bother our management?

Not picking Sarri would be beyond stupidity.

 

[Shevrolet]

When Fonz gets fired, someone from mgmt has to go as well.
Preferably all of them. But someone has to be the main idiot.

 

[Berlusconi]

Not getting a sacked tomorrow vibe here.

1st Picture: "Hey remember me, Im Ibra, your boss"
2nd picture: "I like the way you running, but you need to run more like me when I was a young lion, straight and fast"
3rd pic: "Just wanted to let you know, Ive seen the picture, and my balls are bigger"
4th pic: "Hey Im Ibra, if you're going to be the striker, be more like Ibra. I'll send you a link to Ibra videos. Roar"

 

[Gennaro8]

Look at Atalanta team, not better than Milan individualy, no fuckin way. But yet they are fighting with one of the best teams in the world. That is effect of having a serious coach.

This Milan with Fonz would be already 3 goals down vs Arsenal

 

[Ryo]

That shouldn't be an issue, since no manager coming in right now would question a mercato that they were not a part of.
It could be a blessing in disguise that allows him to be chosen. Then when he inevitably complains about the mercato next summer, well too bad since he's already been hired.

Fingers crossed.

 

[Samaldinho]

With Chelsea everyone (including myself) shit on Todd--it kinda made sense since he made himself their actual sporting director--but it turned out that Eghbali and his group had a larger stake in the club and much more influence over the team than previously thought.

I think our ownership may be more than just Gerry. I stumbled upon this podcast by the terrible university known as "UPenn" and their little known business school called "Wharton" or whatever, where Bornn is described as "one of the part owners of AC Milan." This surprised me.

Bornn is the co-founder of Zelus, the analytics company that we supposedly rely upon, even when it came to evaluating managers.

I wonder if there is a larger influence from Bornn or others than we know?

I say this because it still seems unclear as to who really made the choice for Fonseca.

 

[Cloren]

I Hate this club

I hear you man, it would be. But an old, wise Italian coach who has paid his dues and won something is completely at odds with our ownership and their selection criteria.

 

[Shiby]

Sarri is clearly the man for the job, but hes old thats my only issue. Tuchel is also legit even if he is overrated. Conceicao isnt Serie A proven and I guess we want some assurance.

Everything else is a ridiculous choice. It is unfathomable to me why anyone would want Allegri. Terzic is far from a sure thing, yes he had a good run in CL but a lot of coaches had that. Tudor clearly doesnt have the pedigre to take us anywhere.

 

[Tantalis]

calafiori is so good

 

[VillaiN]

Watching atalanta and yestwrday inter i dont think coach s only problem. Sure its 50% of problem but atalanta players re disciplined, helping in defense, just like inter.

We have too many lazy players, primadonas who think they re supwrstars, theo, leao, loftus etc. They ll never be like that. They lack intensity majority of game with bursts. We shouls sell theo and tragic mike. Keep leao. 2 proper technical mids, dm, rb. New coach.

Club s rotten from top to bottom, management, coach, players.

Red bird is a fund so we are definitely owned by more than Gerry. Except Gerry is the managing partner and founder, and as per wiki, Other top RedBird executives include former Goldman Sachs president, John Thornton, as Chair; Italian financier, Paolo Scaroni, as chair of international business; former top Citi advisor, Hamid Biglari, as Chair of the financial services unit; and former NBCUniversal chief, Jeff Shell, as Chair of the sports and media division.

 

[CanUNoTouch]

Maybe I am confused as to what “future stars” means in my post then. Please explain to me.

Your confused with what I meant. Maldini isn't getting the price down when dealing with the likes of Club Brugge etc. We're signing PL biggest and richest clubs/ European elite clubs squad players who teams want gone or signing teams best players from teams below us.

Real Madrid are far easier club to deal with. The only annoying thing is the buyback but their selling price is always more reasonable than other clubs when it comes to their younger players. You don't need Maldini to deal with the likes of Real Bayern Citeh Chelsea because they see it as good business getting squad players off their wage bill at good prices. Just dont act the prick in negotiations. The clubs below elite teams need to get the fees as high possible as that is the majority of those clubs business models. They aren't giving discounts unless you're throwing players they are interested in.

 

[SecondStar]

We have truly become an embarrassment. Every other Italian club handling their business.

 

[dcfcfan1]

could milan still qualify with 5 wins ?

writing off leverkusen and real madrid away

 

[Samaldinho]

How does Atalanta compete with a team like Arsenal with all their... 20m transfers?
