everywhere and nowhere.
You’re head over heels for Furlani, a man who admitted openly two days ago that he now understands the particularities of Italian football hence the changes this summer?

I’m all for him redeeming himself but he has come off as a rank amateur many times.

That interview was a train wreck and revealing at the same time.

Highly intelligent man, who instead of remaining stubborn and unwilling to adapt, has learned from his errors and made strides to redeem himself.

Yes, I am head over heels for him, because he's wildly shrewd and not too proud to show humility and that he made mistakes

He is a mirage player

People see his physique and pace, they see he has that quick touch and good ball control and think they can have him do anything.

His passing is poor because he almost always passes late or not at all. His defensive effort is usually non existent. When he is going well he picks up the ball and carries it forward well but also many times loses it easily as you said.

Also people just saying injuries is a cover for his general lack of consistency. Even in the season with Pioli when he was Nocerino he had many poor games where he didn't do much but entered the box late and scored. If he didn't score then you probably forgot he was was playing. And he was perfectly fit during that period.

If we get most of the mids we are linked to I don't mind if he is here or not. Our success or failure won't lie with him.
Perfect summation

As if his injuries are the troublesome aspect (actually havent mentioned his injuries once since I completely forgot about them, lol), he's non existent even when he's on the pitch.

Nothing of a failure, not a dud, not a star player, just meh. Has all the physical attributes in the world ("taught at cobham") but no tenacity on the pitch. A snail eating 160cm gattuso is 10 times as visible as him.

Its not for nothing that a while back I posted a meme of him on a milk carton as a missing child with the caption "have you seen me?"

Allegri approves of Ahanor but Genoa want €15M.

I’m happy for his growth. On the club’s dime and time.

I do agree that he hasn’t been completely stubborn, and what we have in management remains our best chance for a resurgence. Because it’s all we have.

But after an 8th place finish there is a lot to fix.

#Calciomercato | #Morata - @Como_1907 : the situation related to the early end of the loan between #Milan and #Galatasaray is being resolved. The team coached by #Fabregas , meanwhile, is waiting for a response from #Thiaw regarding a possible transfer. @SkySport

I doubt Thiaw will accept move to Como

They’re offering 4M a year, he’s on far less isn’t he? Cesc looks to be a top young coach, Henry is a part owner and it’s a beautiful place to live. It’s a nice project to be honest.

Don't see why not

As Tare mentioned, incoming CB's are dependant on outgoing ones, and you can believe allegri isn't satisfied with his backline options, so Tare will apply the pressure cooker on thiaw

Malick seems like an intelligent person that ac Milan might have been too much of a jump for him in his career, and a youthful energy in a low pressure environment will fit him like a glove, especially under a coach like Fabregas who seem to be a great motivator

I see it as a win-win, and a jump from Milan to como at the current state of both clubs is sadly not much of a career downgrade

Plus, as I mentioned earlier, he's not on much money at Milan. It's likely Como will at least double his salary. Also, he'll want to be a starter somewhere to try and make the World Cup.

€57 million for Reijnders
€25 million for Theo
€14.3 million for Kalulu
€3.5 million for Pellegrino
(€25 million for Thiaw)
(€10 million for Morata)
(€25 million for Musah)

Transfer revenue record literally blasted n would be almost doubled to €160m.
