Ok, why not?

BTW, this is based off a Schira report that bayern willing to offer 60M+ a player for Leao.

Kim is worth 30/40M easy I'd say. Under Allegri he'd be a monster. Leao on the other hand, while his potential is insane, is he really more than a 100M player atm?

Hea not worth 40m Kim is not a good defender, average really, athletic sure but his game reading and tactical awareness is poor which is what we need

Kim becoming 29 n only had one single good season in big 5 leagues. Bayern wants him gone cause he‘s trash.

That sets off all alarm bells, yours too.

Oh, and it is a complete waste of a non-eu spot.

And?
Xhaka is worse and much more of a scumbag than him

Did you even read my whole post? I said he is good enough to carry Tomasson's bags, so he would never be starter for Milan
And I am being quite generous here when I am saying that, which I forgot to note

I don't even like Shaqiri
Dude was full of shit, claiming that he would play for Kosovo if they ever get approved for FIFA and then going back on his word
At least twats like Behrami never made any promises

But at the end of the day he was a better player than Xhaka by far, not that that's saying much but at least he was good enough to play as a rotational player for Bayern and Liverpool
Xhaka never got offers from big clubs like that because he's far inferior

The point of my post ultimately is: No Albanian players at Milan please
We produce some decent players but nothing special and nothing world class
The only Albanian players that could maybe be considered world class-tier are from 20th century like Fadil Vokrri, Riza Lushta, Naim Kryeziu

Look, if you personally don’t want any Kosovar-Albanian players at Milan – that’s your opinion. I don’t share it, but fair enough. If you think Xhaka isn’t good enough football-wise – again, I disagree, but I can respect the stance.

But where I completely, 100% disagree is your take that Shaqiri was somehow the better player.

Just because he sat on the bench at Bayern and Liverpool in his early 20s doesn’t make him superior. He was never a starter at those clubs. He didn’t decide anything. He didn’t lead. He didn’t influence a season. He was their Chuckwueze. Literally. That's not even an exaggeration. Xhaka on the other hand? Captain of Arsenal. Yeah, maybe not peak Wenger-era Arsenal, but still one of the most demanding clubs in one of the strongest leagues in the world. And when things got tough? He didn’t run. He stayed. He rebuilt his reputation. Eventually, even the Emirates crowd – who once booed him off – started singing his name.

Shaqiri’s career was already in decline when he went from Stoke to Lyon – and even there he couldn’t establish himself. At 29, he bailed to MLS because no European team wanted to bet on him anymore. At 33, he’s back in Switzerland – one of the weakest leagues in Europe. That’s his level now. Meanwhile, Xhaka just led one of the best Leverkusen sides of all time as their captain – as their on-pitch general. He was one of the most important parts of their unbeaten season. At 32, he’s at the perfect balance of experience and performance. He wouldn’t come to Milan to ride the bench. He’d come to lead.

And yeah, I saw your disclaimer about Shaqiri not being Milan level today. But I had to spell this out to show just how big the class gap between him and Xhaka truly is. Career paths matter. Longevity matters. Impact matters.

Xhaka is ten leagues above.

Simple yes/no question:

Kim (bayern) + 60M for Leao ?
Only players from Bayern worth entertaining is either Pavlovic or Tel. Pavlovic is impossible, he's a fans favourite now but Tel is a possibility, he wants to start but Kompany doesn't trust him enough. Dude is super talented and can slot in at LW perfectly. Just turned 20 couple of months ago.

@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 is a fucking scumbag worse than Ceferin
He's the one responsible for Qatar 2022
He was in charge when Farcelona stealing 4 CL trophies with refs
The one responsible for FFP

Juve scum who celebrated CL victory in front of 39 dead fans

I don't know why Sheva is associating himself with this pig

It's a deal I'd "accept" if he's a player that Allegri wanted... But I wouldn't at all be thrilled about it.

I personally think we should keep Leao. Give him a season with a real coach and pieces that fit that coach around him... And let's see if we can repolish the diamond

Our mid is going to be shit
We according to romano want older mids hahaha

Didn;t Fab specifically say Ricci and Xhaka (and others) ?

His EXACT quote this morning:

Aggiungiamo il nome di Xhaka a una lista del Milan che include anche Ricci, altri nomi. Quindi un Milan sicuramente molto impegnato sul mercato. Poi capiremo quali saranno le piste definitive

No, Platini wasn‘t responsible for FFP. Further more FFP was approved by ECA which means also approved by Milan.

At that time, Gandini or Galliani was our representative there.
Bullcrap
He was in charge when FFP passed
He also shilled it and championed it

Maldini did the same so what's your point. That shows that a player has a character
This guy comparing Maldini who did that in his final retirement match when they booed him to fucking Xhaka
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

How do you have no shame?

If Milan signs an Albanian player this club is over
