Inter already officially signed susic and henrique.

We're still moving slow. Come on Tare, speed the fuck up
They have a special window because of the WC for clubs and need re-enforcements right away, same for Juve and the others.
Their first match is on the 17th vs Monterrey and still don't have a coach, maybe they'll use one of Inzaghi's assistants.

Calciomercato - Allegri has reached out to Maignan to get him to stay, but the player wants Chelsea.


Get these fucking bums out of this club asap, pls. Him and Theo should be tossed out the door.
Replacing Maignan with a middle of the road Serie A GK who doesn’t concede 10 goals a season more than he should will be one of the biggest upgrades we can make this summer

Less expensive???

Every player in that lineup is out of our budget and was out of our budget when psg bought them
I meant for Bayern - find young wingers like Doue or the kid that came on rather than spending 100 mill on Rafa.

I said before the final that I wanted PSG to win because I want to see how MBappe would react to being shown up but seeing how they did it I wonder if it affects others like a Rafa to change their style.

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.
People here were laughing when some in here predicted that Tona can easily be replaced by a 20mil player & yet here we are.
When solid offer arrive, we should sell.
We should have enough scouting knowledge to replace him & reinforce anither area.
If it failed then thats a failure in the scouting department not the approach.

ADL, for all his faults, is one owner that makes a lot of sense and financially Napoli is in the black. Sells well, Kvara, Koulibaly, Higuain, etc and finds good replacements. Yesterday said that De Bruyne is done and that it's only the beginning of a massive mercato season.

Paid 16 million for Napoli in 2004 with the club in Serie C, near bankrupt, that also covered their debts, did it on a bank loan that repaid in 3 seasons, so basically nothing that came out of his pocket, and said that he wouldn't sell the club even if they offer2 billions. Has won 2 of the 4 scudetti in Napoli's history, the other two with Maradona.

Unfortunately Italian owners are rare today because not many can afford to buy a club so ADL is one of the very few left with foreign funds taking over. It's a trend that I'm not happy about and miss the days of the Berlu/Moratti rivalry that is now RedBird vs Oaktree.
Not the same thing, no passion, no pride, only the bottom line business-wise.

Pellegati mentioned rabiot, and gazzetta is still strongly linking us with him:


The sale of Reijnders to Manchester City has brought in a great deal of cash for the club. Of the 72 million euros earned, a large part will be reinvested in the market. The French midfielder's contract with the French club expires next year, 2026, so a lower sum will be needed to purchase him: around 10.5 million euros could be enough.

The obstacle of salary
The obstacle, however, would be represented by the salary. In Marseille, Rabiot earns 3.5 million euros net per season, which, including easily achievable bonuses, becomes about 6 million. As reported in today's edition of the Gazzetta dello Sport , it is on these aspects that the club is working even if the player would like to embrace Massimiliano Allegri again.
Now that Maldini is gone, who among our directors has the charm and savoir faire to seduce Rabiot's mother?
Maybe Allegri taking off his jacket?

Our scouting needs to improve, we have more misses than hits. I remember Marchessi, (or something like that), that got us Dollar, Locatelli, Cristante, and others fired by Fassobelli that turned into a disaster. Think he went to Lazio under Tare and not sure if still active.

I really think Milan needs to sign a left back asap.

Show Theo the few cards he thinks he has, he doesn't have. Make him realize, since he only counts as under 3M on the balance sheet, that we can afford to make him rot for a season on the bench/in the stands.

After his last 18mos and another 12 doing nothing, not even the Saudi's would touch him. Nor would the rotten toothed Deschamps

Of course, we could really use the $ he could generate, but strong-arm the guy. He's holding us hostage.

So, our training begins on July 7 and have a long trip on the 24th. Not sure how many of our players will show up on day one with international matches going on now and don't know if Modric will play in the CWC. I would utilize Camarda and Liberali heavily in the friendlies and start them in the Coppa Italia match vs Bari.

Allegri needs to pay particular attention to them because playing in Serie D, an amateur league, is too low for them. Maybe it's time to make them permanent members of the big club or loan them out at least to Serie B. We've seen with PSG and Barca that age doesn't matter if someone has huge talent and we need to change the mindset that you have to be in early 20s to be ready.

Theo will be staying. He is the best LB in Serie A

Don't believe everything they write.
Mike is in France preparing for the Nation's League games, just like Modric and KDB.
Doubt Allegri would be bothering him about contracts right now.

Italian mercato news is slow right now since most of the unknown factors are coach related, and all of the papers in Italy are actively trying to ignore the big Merda scandal, so they make up fake shit to stir up trouble and farm for clicks. Milan are the perfect go-to story because (a) bad news about us means less focus on bad news about Merda and (b) there is a fuck ton of bad news about Merda that Italian Calcio media needs to deflect attention from (it's being reported outside of Italy this time, but they just want those reports to stop and go away) and (c) Milan fans are the easiest target to rage-bait which makes it easy to farm for clicks with fake bad news.

Allegri would have absolutely spoken to Mike, or at worst his agent. He has active offers from abroad, so they HAVE to be talking.

Why wouldn't a new coach want clarity about his situation, nevermind our Sporting Director, who either has to move him out or get a contract done.

These guys are on int'l duty. They practice for like 2hrs/day... There's 24hrs in a day, and they are STILL OWNED by their clubs in the summer.

Merda in the mud again.
Guess they can go for Patrick Vieira, who managed to barely keep his team from relegation.

Our for the future scouting is even worse than the first team & we dont know what to do when we accidently land a good prospect.
All the current youngs dont impress me including Camarda.
The two players that caught my eyes since day one were Simic & Kerkez.
Am not saying i saw worldclass players, but definitely worthy of minutes & our people in charge went on spending money to buy shit players & play them instead.

@ACM14061988 thoughts?
Seems like Sheva and Platini want to bring down the corrupt Merda-loving Ceferin.
Think it will help with relegating Merda to Serie D for Financial Irregularities?

Platini fighting with corruption . Like a tiger in the bucher shop fighting for the vegan cause .

Allegri has other things to do than to wait for players to stop training to discuss transfer matters when they are preparing for international matches.
Even Salad said in his interview that he would wait till he talked with Allegri first, meaning he has not spoken to him yet.

Not everyone will be focused on their job 24 hours a day, specially not when on International duty. If that were the case, then Modric or KDB's transfers would have already gone through already (you can do your medicals away from the home city, and doing it where football is being played is easy), but both are on pause till after the tournament is over.

We all know Platini is fighting for himself, because he wants back in on UEFA.
But the enemy of my enemy and all that. If it helps bring down the corrupt Merda-loving Ceferin, I'm all for it.
At least the Cugini will then be at least Investigated for their financial doping and punished, instead of UEFA putting an arm around their shoulder and giving them small love taps on the wrist. We got kicked out of Europe for a season and our prior year's prize money withheld for much less.
