The Rumour Commode XLVII: Foamseca is out

[Ryo]

Please don't even say that jokingly...haven't we suffered enough?

Grass ain't always greener on the other side.


Elliot sold Milan at 1.2B
Gerry ain't selling until he gets his money back and more.
Saudi's don't think we're worth that money.

We're now stuck with Gerry until the situation changes for the better.
Who knows if it will.

But he definitely won't be selling at a loss, that's for sure.

 

[ymsv]

And we want him out

 

[IL-Capitano]

Fucking sell sell sell and give the new guys a cleaner slate.

Then assess and see what's actually needed... Or buy opportunities and struggle with an actively starting 11 for the formations we want to play. That's worked for us so well...

I'd offload a chunk of players and regroup before buying.

But we do kinda need a SD and manager appointment sorted lol.

If Milan end up appointing newly licensed Moncada as SD we all know how that will turn out. Let’s all hope that never happens.

Sell all the useless players they can and I say again keep your assets, players who will be harder to replace or have the chance of redemption in a better run infrastructure.

Keep
Mike, Sportiello, Toriani, Gabbia, Theo, Jiminez Thiaw, Tomori, Bondo, Fofana, Saelemaekers, Adli, Pulisic, Reijnders, Giminez, Leao

Sell/Release
Florenzi (release), Pavlovic, Emerson,Terracciano, Walker(release) RLC, Musah, Tammy (release) Chuk, Felix (release), Jovic, Sottil, Morata, Okafor

There is so much work to be done to make this a competitive squad and team again.

Granted a few of the keep players have had poor seasons but there is a chance they can redeem themselves in a properly coached and structured tactical system.

With a coach who can utilise their strengths. The back line needs a CB who can lead it.

The RB role needs to be addressed properly with two players who can push each other for a starting place.

Midfield needs a pure DM and the forward line needs a leading No.9.

Theo and Leao need competition on the left flank
Pulisic needs competition on the RW, Saelemaekers is a good utility guy but won’t provide real competition.

There are a lot of holes in the team. The three stooges have created an absolute mess in their time at Milan.

The starting point of any of this is changing the hierarchy of management. Firing Furlani, Moncada and Ibra telling them to go away! Leave now! Thank you!

Appoint a real SD who chooses the coach together they assess what they need to remove and add to the current squad going forward.

But Gerry is likely to protect his boys Furlani, Ibra and Moncada at all costs. Even if a new SD is appointed he will have to put up with the three stooges interfering in his plans and making a mess of things yet again.

We're grasping at straws trying to find a solution and are not even getting paid for it. Everybody has a say on what's the best option because we want Milan to win on the field of play more than anything. I feel as if we're in limbo, purgatory, while waiting for the big boys to decide our future, the same folks that led us to disaster who we should now trust to do better.

They are completely inept, incompetent, bereft of any vision, mission or direction and need to leave Milan as soon as possible.

Gerry won’t allow that to happen unfortunately!

^ This.

People always think - "let's replace our best players".
Why not replace our shittiest players?

Best player is not synonymous with the most important player, nor does selling said player mean that it won’t improve the team. There are unlimited examples. Napoli loaned Osimhen and sold Kvara and they might win the scudetto the next season. Juventus sold Zidane and went to the CL final with the team they bought from his sale. Milan sold Suso, then qualified for Europe and won the scudetto for the first time in 10 years a few seasons afterwards.

Who is gonna play on LW if we sell Leao? Okafor coming off of his loan?

Pulisic.

Who is gonna replace Theo? Terra-fucking-ciano?

A player who can defend, even if they don’t attack as well. Or vice-versa. Or someone who does both equally well. The point is that there are no irreplaceable, especially at a club the situation Milan is in. Theo is unique, but the team is more important than its individual pieces. Try and see the big picture.

If you wanna prove "how shitty Theo apparently is" - buy a player who is good enough to bench him.
That would be an awesome sight to see, right?

It costs money to buy good players, very few if any teams in Serie A can afford to have a 4-5M euro/season player on the bench and another 4/5 M/season player starting. We’re not Manchester City and this is real life, not Football Manager.

What we know is that singer fucked Gerry over lel

Hard

 

[Swagotelli]

 

[Soldier_of_god]

If we sell lmeao
Get estevao or Assane diao

Move puli to the left

Okafor backup lw
And salad for RW or sell salad and get orsolini for back up

Done brah.

Hard

i mean

singer sold him a club in great shape. he fucked himself over by trying to reinvent something that was already working for no other reason than his own hubris

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Feel he is a bit overrated tbh.

We can do better for the price tag

 

[MilanMB]

Saudiiiiiiiiiiii where are you

 

[Jivara]

If Leao had better decision making, work rate and all the important traits of great footballers, we would have had George Weah v2.0

 

[Ashish]

Time to merge both Milan clubs we don’t have any Italian players. We are too international and they are winning cl games and we will not be getting Rivera or Berlusconi for a long time.

 

[MilanMB]

how can this be true?

Probably Barca bankruptcy level of player

 

[ymsv]

If Leao had better decision making, work rate and all the important traits of great footballers, we would have had George Weah v2.0

If he was like Weah he will be in PSG long ago .

 

[AndreiX]

If Leao had better decision making, work rate and all the important traits of great footballers, we would have had George Weah v2.0

If gabbia had better athleticism, build, composure and defensive IQ we'd have Nesta 2.0

Milan flirting with Saudi billionaires while Elliott watches on with a toothpick in hand.

any player that's ambitious and is somewhat established is probably looking to leave because the next 4-5 years or so we're gonna be under gerry we're almost guaranteed to be ass and only play for coppas (yes i used the english plural for an italian word smd)
younger players that are still making a name for themselves get decent exposure so they'll stay but as soon as they get good expect them to look for a way out

massive respect for tij signing an extension with us in this state as he gives the club a strong starting position in negotiations or he's ridic loyal if he actually plans on staying for the whole duration

i think im in the higher tier of milan fans as i've been to some games, bought merch and waste my life on a forum etc, but if I were a player i would not fkin wanna be anywhere near the club in its current state. you cant have shit culture, messy management and shit results and expect to be considered an attractive employer
players have like 10 years of good football in them on average. wasting 4-5 on a club that's ran worse than the average street-fair booth is fkin risky for almost no reward other than an intangible "loyalty". albertini was so loyal he cried when he left and he left cause he felt he was too washed to stay and now some "fans" see him as a long haired nocerino. tryina get titles or money is infinitely more rewarding long term than proving you're loyal just so people can forget you existed after you retire

Agreed. We're pure shit. The rot starts from the head.
We have an owner who at best will give us what we need for 4th.
I can't blame any/all of them for wanting out.

What idiots don't fucking understand was that Maldini brought the intangibles to the team
The AURA. Yes the fucking aura of champions.
These things actually have a financial weighting.
But honestly who the fuck is impressed by Ibrahimovic?

Is he really a big loss? Are we really in different sporting position compared to when Maldini took us to 5th spot?

Not really it’s just all our superstars went bust and we sold tonali for 70 million who was underperforming.

Leao, Theo, Mike, bennacer, Tomori were supposed to anchor us for years but they are just burden now.

I wish management does what it says be ruthless. Another year 0 start and build around tijanni and hope to find a good coach. Probability is we could get cl next year but our senior players are not taking us anywhere absolutely nowhere.

It needs to be done by a credible sd not only for actions but for optics too.

The garbage current management collected is high but so is the busts Maldini left us with.

This season is disappointing because players lack fight, at least they could have fought each other. This is not even rocket bottom for Milan not even close. We had cl knockout in our hand and cl spot but we fucked around

Can’t wait for another undefeated pre season where new coach show them how to use hands to defend like nba

Berlusconi is gone this is a different club

A new coach has to find a way to get the best of Leao, should be job number one. Maybe change the tactics that now makes Rafa the focal, perhaps only, point of our attack. Give him 60 minutes a game, unless we're behind, and let him run like a thoroughbred. For his part a change in attitude and priorities are necessary, with calcio the only activity that truly matters. Don't know if it's possible at his age, but one can hope.

 

[pippofan]

Careful now with that sensible take on things bro, you'll confuse people...

Selling your shittiest players, what sort of crazy revolutionary thinking is this?

Leao and Theo are at the heart of all Milan related issues, sell sell sell.

Theo I would sell, has been sucking for far too long. Leao I would give him one more season hoping that he matures mentally.

Poor Adli, he's like a misunderstood genius that only a few of us can see.

It’s over for him in Milan get at least 50 million.

Let’s try another coach who can make him work for paycheck

Bring him back and let him finish us off like he did to Bordeaux and put us of misery


Zidane

 

[pippofan]

Time to merge both Milan clubs we don’t have any Italian players. We are too international and they are winning cl games and we will not be getting Rivera or Berlusconi for a long time.

I wonder if we merge the two clubs who the starters would be in a 3-5-2 formation that Inzaghi likes or our 3-4-3. For them surely Dumfries Bastoni, Barella, Hakan, Thuram, and Lautaro. Maybe Di Marco over Theo? and where would Leao fit?
