The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Ryo]

I read news like this and I think....
these fucking journalist know Fuck All.
Made shit up for the past month and a half, only to come back to "everything's okay now".

 

[papaberlu]

ive changed my stance on Ibra... not gonna hate on him anymore. I mean the guy has no actual power to change things... but from all the reports that he lays into players & wrecks changing rooms after defeats, it shows he hurts just like we are hurting, he cares abt the club just like we do

Na he deserves all the hate for butchering the Futuro project

At least now he seems to be humbled and taking a real step back

I was surprised he swallowed his pride enough to ok the Allegri signing/not protest it

 

[vB9]

yes! he feck-up there

 

[ymsv]

my dear man, you cant put organisational failure/weakness on Leo... sumtimes you need a firm hand on things... you think the dickheads we have at our club wud dare to do the things they have under &... no!

I am not . He just not suit here . Like it or not clubs are operating differently now . Time when not the coach but someone else will decide how the team would play or which player fits and which not is over . Time when the sugar daddy and his right hand are the fathers of the players also . People like Berlusconi and Galliani ironically are big part of the reasons why the things changed and there are almost no more people like them . At least in the top five leagues .

 

[grandeacm2]

That part is good I agree. Overall just despise the guy though

Atleast Leao isn’t a bad dude

Only hated what he did in 2012 and his stupid ''Above Milan there is only the sky, well above the sky there is Inter'' comments
But Milan won out in 2012 Pazzini did better at Milan that season compared to Cassano at Inter

Otherwise indifferent to him, and I think he's overly hated
I don't like it when people judge the person instead of the words
Like he's 100% right about Leao but then people attack Cassano based on his character by trying to dismiss him as a clown like a bunch of weasels and trying to act superior instead of presenting proper counter-arguments to what he's saying

Leao also just spams a bunch of clown emoji on twitter whenever he gets cricitized

 

[Jivara]

That's the only way Allegri could "sell" his project to Redshit.

They don't believe in normal football.
They believe in NBA, marketing, 'merica approach.

Allegri in the meeting: "we need four black dudes who are 7 ft and above and one white dude who can shoot free throws"

Probably because finally it is clear who is who and where the individual power ends . He should never be involved in the organizational matters .

 

[justiface]

Yikes
This is a cringe post
And no he didn't take Switzerland to Euro QF, giving him the credit for the whole team where he was probably not even top 5 performer is laughable
And in Euro 2020 if not for Shaqiri Switzerland wouldn't get past the group stage

I'm starting to think that your hatred towards Xhaka is deeply personal. What did he do? Did he like bang your ex or something?

Oh right ok. Fair enough then.

Leao is a clown that’s why.

Man if I could I would ship him off and Theo

Then just get Nico Williams and Tavares.

But Nico costs like 10 mil a season

 

[Wild]

Fuck you GdS and Calciomercato and Sky Germany
Fuck off Xhaka
I hope Thiaw rejects going to Leverkusen

Why are we so hell-bent on this dog when there are better and even younger players in his position that we could be signing?
I'd even take that gambler back

So, this Allegri pep talk changing Mike’s mind maybe a bit exaggerated, but the Chelsea interest was real, and I believe so was Mike’s intention to leave.

It can’t all be fabricated. Must be at least a kernel of truth somewhere.

 

[R.Akbar]

Oh god please stop with these fucking experiments, just build a normal football team like everyone else does

I present to you,
The best football quote that will stand for years to come.

i was never a fan of Gasp, but i kinda see the point. what he did with Atalanta reflected on this quote.

 

[grandeacm2]

Montolivo wishes he had as many achievements as Xhaka.
Not saying he's some superstar player, but he's what this team needs at the moment.
Experience, grinta and leadership, all of which Milan found lacking last season.

Please stop with the leadership shit, it's too funny lmao
A big fish on a small pond is absolutely NOT what this team needs
You are in for a rude awakening if you think Xhaka can lead a big club
It's good that we are getting a real leader like Modric at least, to offset his sucktitude(if we get him)

If Xhaka played on the same Italy team he would be bench player at most
He is Montolivo-level player nothing more

 

[grandeacm2]

Why are you taking tuttoshit articles seriously?

Maybe you should stop projecting.

The best football quote that will stand for tears to come.

i was never a fan of Gasp, but i kinda see the point the what he did with Atalanta.

It reminds me of a certain team that was unite...


This team was something else..yes not the best roster..yes not the biggest superstars..but the celebrations..the fight for each other..

He's been shit for 2 years and demands a high salary.
Sign a contract on a lower salary and you can stay.
Otherwise, get some money while we can and get a GK on a lower salary who can perform better.

Meret is a free agent. He outperformed Maignan massively.
We could probably buy Milinkovic-Savic for the same amount we'd get for Maignan too.
He was one of the best in Europe last season.

We don’t need younger players only to groom for sales.

We need game changers and leaders.

Xhaka,Modric, and Maybe Immobile are here to change the way we approach the game.

 

[nefremo]

So if we get Modric and Xhaka....is the expectation that they are both starters? Compared to the utter shit shit we currently have in the midfield, sure, they have way more quality. But we'll be missing midfield runners offensively and I'm sure we'll also struggle with covering ground defensively.

They should print this out in Milanello

 

[grandeacm2]

Leao is a clown that’s why.

I don't care if he's a clown though.
If he says the correct thing then I won't shit on him for it.
I disagreed with him on his overly harsh and uncalled for criticism of Conceicao, I felt he should have criticized the club more for not supporting Conceicao and for making him play Leao and Theo, instead of obsessing on him for celebrating with a cigar or whatever.
I agreed with him on his criticism of Leao.

 

[grandeacm2]

Younger players as in 26 year olds not 18 year olds

Xhaka Immobile

Hes the best coach

 

[Alo88]

Xhaka still counts for 15M on Bayer's books... SO he's not going to be sold at a loss.
15M minimum to get him

He arrived to Leverkusen for 15M in 2023, no? His contract runs for 5 years, so after two years his current book value should be 9M.

TM values him at 12M. Us offering something slightly lower, but still above his bookvalue, makes perfect sense from our POV. But given Leverkusen doesn't really intent or need to sell him, they will ask for 20M. I think an agreement could be found at 15M, bonuses included, if Xhaka kinda pushes for this deal too. But it seems that he's not intending to push too hard out of respect for Leverkusen (which I respect too).

Well, I feel like it's not an easy deal to make, because while the figures aren't exactly high, we're still speaking of a 33 years old. We want him, but knowing Furlanis track record, I don't think he will greenlight a deal worth >15M for a player this old. If he does, then things really have changed behind closed doors.

 

[Alo88]

In Germany, they think the probability of Xhaka to Milan is very low. Here what MN wrote:

Granit Xhaka is a transfer target for Milan, though it's a complicated deal given the importance the Swiss midfielder holds within Bayer Leverkusen’s setup. We discussed the situation with Bild journalist Phillip Arens, who has been covering the "Werkself" for years. Here’s what he told MilanNews.it:


Xhaka – how likely is it that he leaves Leverkusen?
"The situation is clear: Bayer Leverkusen have no intention of selling Granit Xhaka. They are ready to keep him at all costs and want to make him the key player for the upcoming season."


So we should expect the German club to put up a wall, despite Milan’s interest in the Swiss international?
"This summer has already seen painful departures: Xabi Alonso is off to Real Madrid, Tah has joined Bayern, and Frimpong and Wirtz are heading to Liverpool. The fans are understandably concerned, and the club has no intention of losing another core player."


Have there been any contacts between the clubs so far?
"No, as far as I know, Leverkusen only became aware of the interest in Xhaka through the media. But I do know Milan have been in contact with his entourage – even before Tare arrived as sporting director."


With Xabi Alonso gone, Erik ten Hag is in. Has the Dutchman said anything about Xhaka yet?
"I believe a lot will depend on the first conversation between Ten Hag and Xhaka. I think it would be a logical move for Ten Hag to name him captain. He should be the leader of the new team, both on the pitch and in the dressing room."


What’s Xhaka’s relationship with the Leverkusen environment like?
"Very good. His family is very happy, and he became a father for the third time in March. I’d be surprised if he wanted to leave. Also, Bayer Leverkusen will play in the Champions League – Milan won’t be in Europe. Those big European nights are very important to Xhaka."


Could Malick Thiaw be a card to convince Leverkusen?
"Thiaw is a player Leverkusen like, also for UEFA squad list reasons. But he’s not part of the Xhaka deal – it’s not Leverkusen’s style to work with swaps or player exchanges. So Thiaw and Xhaka should be considered as two completely separate negotiations."

 

[P.Lorre]

He arrived to Leverkusen for 15M in 2023, no? His contract runs for 5 years, so after two years his current book value should be 9M.

I saw 25M as his arrival price... Hmmmm, I'll have to look deeper.

Sky, BBC, NY Times and even his Wiki say 25M..... I wonder what the actual price was

Would carry more weight if he pulled it off at a big club. At some point individual quality and with it ego management come into play, and Gasp usually shat the bed at that point

 

[amanmilan]

Just shows like how much crap journalists spout. For weeks the Xhaka talk and now totally oh there’s no chance it can happen. Let’s just hope allegri can get the players he actually wants and needs to do his thing
