I know people laugh at the "balance sheet scudetto" stuff, but thanks to this, we are now OFF THE HOOK 100% with the settlement agreement we made with UEFA effective immediately.

I truly hope this means a solid market in which we sign good players to fit allegri's specific system. Getting back into the CL is clear objective #1, and if the scudetto is possible, then so be it... The league isn't good enough that we can't be contenders...

But objective 1, play good ball and secure CL as early as possible.
Scudetto or sepuku.

One match per week + Modric = INSTANT Scudetto

Correct. We also need to offload two cbs. Tomori for an EXPERIENCED CB and Thiaw for Leoni from Parma.
Riejnders 55 + 15 = 65/70M
Kalulu 14 + 3 = 17
Mike 20-25M
Theo 20-30M
Bennacer - 10M
Pellegrino - 3M

That's 145-150M or so right there.

We can really have ourselves a nice and productive market and get back to being a compact and stable team.

Ya, I mean there should/will be other sales too I assume, but those are the ones right now that seem the likeliest.

We could legitimately have around 200M to play with if these sales go thru... I feel like only one of Tomori or Thiaw will be sold though.

Max agreeing to come, and even Modric... I mean, you HAVE to assume he was given some assurances that we'd be quite competitive. I know he loves Milan, but you don't agree to join to just have a shit season in a shit squad... He could have his choice of many teams and/or a massive payday in Saudi if he wanted.

There's plenty of others to add to these sales also. Royal, RLC, Chucky, Okafor, Bennacer, Pobega, maybe Adli.

RLC, Musah, Pavlovic, ERoyal, Pobega maybe... and find 2 more vetarans with Modric and go on rebuild with Leoni type of talent or Baturina type of risk.... Svilar or Carnesecchi for GK... that would work...

Main attack (if Max is going for 2 up front)

_________Gimenez
Leao
_____Pulisic

is fine...

Chuck should also go.

Thiaw as backbone of defence should work if we get one of those GK... Better to have him then Treevlovic

You mean RLC, Emerson, etc aren't any better than cheaper Italian youngsters?

Careful now with that sort of hate speech...
More a question of loyalty from Italian point of view

They feel that if we have more Italians they would bleed for the club and actually want to stay here and accept lower wages.

And because of familiarity with the league they would compete for scudetto.

But you need to get the top end Italian players for that and they all either are in inter rube Roma or Napoli. None that would sell directly to a competitor unless we pay a premium. And that premium could be counter intuitive given they could use those funds to buy better players themselves.

But we only balanced the books
We covered losses
But we can spend max 60 mil

And if we don’t make ucl next season(we will win the league) we would have to sell again.

We can only incur net 60 mil loss over 3 year period or something can’t remember. We will have to spend big now

Get the title
Qualify for ucl and do well there in the following season.

Let‘s see which transfers will materialize but atm everything screams conference league.

However Rovella would be a nice piece to the puzzle.

Miss him, should have kept him n instead of buying the serbian butcher. Could have invested in a defensive midfielder.

View attachment 49880


He is 25, if he has one of his bad /injured seasons next he is probably locked in the 10m range forever. We are getting out of the whole thing with a bug profit in terms of fees, I feel like keeping him would be just chasing a best case scenario with to much ignorance of the risk. 1749113680430.jpeg

Depends

He is ok if partnered with a creative player and say Rabiot

Then yes it wa good functional midfield

I am not ok if it’s just rabiot modric and ricci. We need one more creative player then.

Rovella is much better and stronger than ricci
Fagioli is probably better too. So is our ex Milan player who is now playing DM role at rube and captain.
We need an elite creative mezzala if we’re losing Reijnders. Not a 40 year old Modric

Well, you‘re right. But following line of reasoning, please never ever ask for Calafiori.

He's right n I’d never have sold Reijnders. Especially not at that price.

It's also true that our left side was as full of holes as Swiss cheese cause we had three players who only thought offensively (Theo, Leao, Reijnders) n a completely painless n robotic central defender who can't tell a ball from a chicken.

Inter already officially signed susic and henrique.

We're still moving slow. Come on Tare, speed the fuck up

They have to because they'll play the CWC in two weeks. I think Allegri will want to evaluate a lot of the current crop before taking definite decisions and that won't happen before mid july.

transfer of Reijnders is in terms of finances a total failure. No excuses.

70M is a failure in what regard?
We got 2 seasons out of him and he's 27, and he's a very good player on his day. Lacks consistency imo, and I don't think his motor is good enough to play midfield for allegri.

I love Reijnders and wish we kept him... But we set up the deal to pay the 10% add-on to AZ on 35M.

We‘re no longer balancing the books cause we‘ve enough capital reserves on our balance sheet to cover losses ourselves.

It’s all bout cash flow. That’s why we‘re selling.
