Rino was a horrible manager for us. Managed us like this new Albanian idiot on here. Pretend a one legged Monty was the issue when he refused to deviate from Suso-ball. Unforgivable.

As for Italy, Paolo Vanoli would be good. Youth and club experience, good with different age groups, has a little crazy in him. Wouldn’t be flashy, but he’d be steady.

Gattuso just doesn’t have the man-management skills to be a manager and it’s not like his tactics are any great either.

I used to enjoy this Italy Downfall, mainly due To Donnarumma being the protagonist for NT and Antagonist for us.

But i really wants to see more and more Italian talent blooming at Milan. The way Camarda failed to show a teeth last year kinda depressing.

We’ve had plenty of Italian talents in the past, but none made it to the big stage while being a Milan backbone. That’s why i hope Allegri can make it work for Camarda, Zeroli, Liberali, Torriani, Bartesaghi even Terraciano.

Without Milan & Juve having a strong Italian core, Italy NT will not find its way to rule over Europe.

But then again,
both club has to financially powerful and competitive to be able to retain Italy’s best performers. FIGC is decades behind FA in terms of football marketing, i hope they realize that.

everywhere and nowhere.
For year 1 of Max, I would be happy with Modric, Xhaka and a young but rising midfielder.
Very happy in fact.

Leadership, grinta, talent and potential. Mix that with Fofana and Bondo, I'm satisfied for the first year, having to on;y play SA and Coppa italia.

In attack and defense, I don't know who or what... But I like that midfield for Year 1.

The other day I read that Tare was going to talk to Gerry to ask if he could give him a little more money for the mercato and haven't heard anything yet. Wonder if he convinced the owner and how much we will get.

Guerra looks awesome and I think he's ready to explode. I could really see Furlani selling him to City for 100m in 2027.

From what i know he did not ask for more money but if the money could be used on an expensive target rather than more less expensive targets, Cardinale is needed to do this because he has signing power for operations that are worth more than 30 million


The document also reports a series of "powers granted with joint signature with the Director Gerald Cardinale JR within the limits of the annual budget approved from time to time by the Board of Directors in relation to acts and/or operations with a unit value between Euro 30,000,000 (thirty million) gross and Euro 100,000,000 (one hundred million) gross and after formal consultation with the Technical Committee established within the company". These powers are:

To negotiate, stipulate, modify, terminate, transfer and/or acquire:
Acquisition or transfer agreements, in the context of sporting activity, in any form, of the rights to the performance of footballers, including those of the youth sector;
Agreements for the definition of the relationship relating to the sporting performance of footballers and agreements with coaches, technicians and talent scouts, agreements relating to scouting activity and the healthcare sector, as well as agreements with sports agents and solicitors.

Under 30 million Furlani can sign alone, over 30 million Cardinale is needed

Modric-Xhaka-Fofana is already a better midfield than recent years.
Give me that & any bench replaced is a plus.
Why cause we have 2 Muslim converts?

nhaa
Need one more proper creative player that isn’t decrepit. Get paz

Some people like Bondo that only played limited minutes in 4 matches for Milan in addition to 52 for Monza, 39 for Nancy in Ligue 2, and 3 for Reggina also in B. Didn't really follow him at Monza so I went to TransferMarket to check out his stats.

Bondo will be 22 on Sept 15, 177 cm tall, 0 goals 0 assists for us with 1 yellow card. Appeared in 27 matches with Monza last season with 0 goals, 0 assists, 4 yellow cards and 1 red. Overall 54 appearances in Serie A and 3 in Coppa Italia, with a total of 1 goal and 2 assists. At Nancy, French Serie B, played 34 matches with 2 goals and 1 assist with the team relegated to Serie C. Went to Reggina in B on a free that after only 3 matches quickly sold him to Monza for 700K that we bought for 10 million, with a contract until 2029.

I know stats don't tell the whole story but his offensive output has been practically zero, even in League 2. Listed as a central midfielder, Bondo is not a DM but mostly a box to box. Watching him in his little time at Milan he didn't seem particularly fast or strong so I fail to see what's so positive about him. Would look to loan him out because if he's given a major role in our midfield we're really in trouble, prefer Pobega as a 5th, 6th mid because he at least as a good shot from distance and useful for the lists.

PS: these are my opinions that some might disagree with and explain why I'm wrong and that's fine, we all have our points of view and if Bondo turns out to be a solid player I will be the first to admit I was wrong and be happy for the player.

Thanks, didn't know that.

Seems like such a shit prospect negotiating with Club Brugge, even though both linked players look interesting.

I want Xhaka and Modric wrapped up. Experience is very welcome.
Out of the two I prefer the Left back that looks very promising. Don't want to get into a protractive negotiation with Brugge like we did with CDK. If we're not close money-wise move on to the next target.
