The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Ludwig]

I'll take Thorsby as back-up mid. Knows serie A very well, experienced, low wage.

 

[Soldier_of_god]

Saelly last year Vs Chiesa last year?
You answer that

I wasn't asking for Darwin btw but he is a 9 that was favoured practically all the time over Chiesa who was the new guy brought in.
That was my only point.

If we are moving on from if if if players, why return to another one?
As I said in another post I would take him as a sub, not as a replacement for Leao.

What makes you think I want him as a replacement for leao lmao

For leao I would want gittens or quenda etc

Ideally fucking Nico Williams or a barcola


Chiesa I repeat as a sub not leao replacement

 

[milanator]

i know a decent guy, if we are only looking at G+A and bringing home the numbers…

Not that great stats for Serie B anymore, but should have bought him at some point in hindsight.

However the difference between someone like him and Leao is that Berardi is better when he can drift around and use positioning, Leao you can just give the ball and inshallah, yet he gives you a great G+A on top.

Especially with someone like Allegri defending well and kicking the ball to Leao will be a lot of our game if he stays. No overcomplicated positional play, just playing to the players character and characteristics.

I do not disagree with Theo’s attitude, yes he could have been much more professional. The better thing to do would be to give your best, put in decent performances, attract good clubs, then leave in the way Tonali and Reijnders did. Or work hard quietly like Pulisic and endure, and keep people guessing your next move.

MVB mentally stronger and more professional, I respect and won’t deny that. Also, people from that generation and this generation think and act quite differently. About the company/job analogy, it is just to emphasize that leadership and environment matters in any organization/any industry. You cannot be unprofessional, allowing dysfunction at the top and expect commitment and respect from others. Checks and balances go both ways. It would have make sense to fully blame Theo if the management was showing effort to try to do the right things and behave professionally.

It is not an excuse to not be a professional . Specifically he is on decline for two years already . I do not know the reason , but the management can not be an excuse for that . He is a grown up person . Professional player so for sure he must know that his form and attitude are bad . What he did to change that ? Rebellion . Was sent to the substitutes in order to clear his head . The next coach call him back . He was playing not bad a few games and then has a late night concert before the important game . His form continue to to decline .
As per the rumors not surprisingly he was offered extension with lower salary . As per the rumors not surprisingly he turn it off . As per the rumors they are trying to find a new team for him since Milan can not count on him . As per the rumors he does not want to leave .
As far as I can see they are behaving professionally . Lower results , lower salary . They are not there to babysitting him . It is not unprofessional to not fulfill every player demand .
Management have its own faults , but Theo form , attitude and as rumored wish to take a free check are not one of them .

Indians and Pakistanis have been at war on this forum....truth be told....I can't tell them apart
And I'm part indian

They have always been at war. But I have seen the normal public get along. It’s more government issues. We have Pakistanis and Indians in our team and both are like real close. Apparently North Indians or north west near Punjab and stuff can speak the same language as Pakistanis do anyway.

Pakistani food which I have tried is real tasty. Not going to lie. Oily but real nice. Indian food is great. But the dorks at my work usually just the try same shit like butter chicken or some other basic dish. There is way more stuff lmao.

Come to Australia in major cities it’s basically like a mini India or mini China/viet. Too many everywhere.

I can hardly find my own people lel.

 

[Nestafan]

But but we need more Italians in Milan

We're already a pile of shite. Might as well be a pile of shite with some home grown players in the squad

 

[LemonCookies]

Thorsby is a giga fodder.

 

[AC Kid]

Last day as ️ for Reijnders: in the next few hours medical visits and signature on the contract that will tie him to Manchester City until 2030 (7 million per season). Milan will collect 55 million immediately and will be entitled to 15 million in bonuses. Painful transfer

Longo


Very painful

Are we really selling our best player for 55m???? FFS

That's how I read your initial post - it's why I commented.

I think you had Leao out and Chiesa and others in, no replacement.

Apologies.

 

[LemonCookies]

Reijnders likely wanted to leave. Hard to imagine we wouldn't play hard ball with other clubs for our best player, but with Tare and now Allegri, professionalism just went through the roof. I think we're attempting to rebuild trust between management and the squad, even if it's with a player we're selling, respecting their wishes is the professional thing to do. And we're still making good money on the sale. It's up to us to reinvest it wisely.

Come on man.........

We are so professional now, that we're willing to fulfill a player's wishes and sell for a "discount" rather than play hardball (aka, get a good and proper value for the player who was just voted as best midfielder in Serie A)?

We're unable to get funds from el presidente, and it seems we're unable to get much for Theo or Mike, so Reijnders for 60mil in the end isn't bad, since that can help us bring in at least two players of high quality. I don't want him sold, to be clear. But sacrifices have to be made. We're out of Europe with an owner who won't invest. Our transfer budget is entirely structured around sales/playing the wage savings game. Assuming we get back into CL next season, we can retain our best players next summer.

Apologies.

If Leao is out I want a world class player to replace him

Like equally good level if not better.

Chiesa is no where near but a good back up

Ideally yea gittens quenda or barcola etc

 

[BreadPitt]

Lmao we truly have become the laughing stock

 

[leaf]

Red and Black forum trusts management to sell Leao, Theo and Mike for enough money to replace them with equal or better players.

It's like asking your dog to guard your open box of KFC.

 

[Kaka06/07]

Leao can go. Bring in someone maybe not as good but ruthless mentality

 

[Kmoney]

I think Leao whips his head into shape if we sell Maignan and Theo and bring in some good locker room guys like Modric, and of course Allegri

He has 3 years left on his deal, I think we should give him a year under Allegri, whose style I believe will suit a dribbling/counter attack merchant like Leao

 

[Cloren]

This club is such a mess lmao

You forget we did the same for Kaka..
Could have sold him to Man City for more, but decided to fulfil his wish to go to Madrid for less money.
This ain't even new territory for us.
Gerry wants to be Berlu 2.0 remember.

 

[Hitchens]

I'll take Thorsby as back-up mid. Knows serie A very well, experienced, low wage.

He's a very good role player. Very little technique though.

 

[Hitchens]

This club is such a mess lmao

Allegri must be over the moon.

Anyways, I have disliked the instability Mike has shown. I welcome a new GK.

 

[Ryo]

This club is such a mess lmao

We're saving 1M every season in wages going for the most in-form GK in the league this past season.
If anything it's an upgrade to whatever the fuck Mike was performing at in 2024/25.
Not everything is a disaster mate.
If Mike had been good enough, we'd be (a) top 4 (b) beaten Feyenoord in UCL (so likely UCL semis since we pissed all over Merda), and (c) Coppa Italia Winners.

 

[DonSilvio]

Mike wants to go? Bro, there is the door!

 

[Hitchens]

 

[theduck7]

These rumours about Mike, Theo and Leao are making me very uneasy. We surely cannot sell all this window along with Reijnders? That’s suicidal!!

 

[theduck7]

Genuinely how many year zeros can one club have?

That ship has sailed

 

[Hitchens]

30m for Svilar? Maybe Saele enters the conversation again.

I quite rate VMS, but Svilar was GK of the year after all.

Hard to grasp the scope of our summer window. It's looking a bit like the 2017 revolution at this point. I'm quite worried about the quality of our squad in August, but after this season my attachment to our current squad is microscopic. Tare in the pressure cooker.
