everywhere and nowhere.
The reasons bums like Theo were able to get away with murder, no leadership.
Milan tries to sign leaders (who can still ball) and we're upset? :lol:

Why even entertain discussions when all you need to say is "no matter what this mgmt does, I won't approve... but i still have no issue defending losing 200M of players for 0, and finishing 5th after a scudetto" ?

Everyone makes mistakes. Can you not find solace in the fact that mgmt has already owned up to two BIG mistakes, and secured tare and allegri... and are now trying to clean up the lack of leadership that the moron owner thought Zlatan could provide?

Immobile to Milan? Third striker idea, in place of Jovic. Strong bond with Tare. Low-cost solution being evaluated


I dont understand why this move is so hated.

People so easily forget how Van Bommel, Ibrahimovic, Giroid... type of transfers usually work out for us and would rather get a Vranxc just because od age. The football manager logic is strong here.

Immobile as third striker is light years ahead of Jovic and is better now than Jovic ever will be.

Y tho?
can you forgive Maldini for letting Donna & Hakan & kessie go for free?
No. That’s why I never want him in a role that involves making player transfer

Take any other role that’s fine

Maybe head of nutrition or food department

We're going from one the youngest teams in the league to one of the oldest. I know they want to make radical changes to the make-up of the squad but this is going too far if these transfer news are true.

I mean we're also trying to get Jashari and or Javi Guerra (both 22 years).

But as I said two weeks back, I wouldn't be surprised if the average age of the targets we're trying to get will be higher than what we've been used to see. I don't mind it TBH. The best teams have always a great mix and I feel like ours in the last few seasons has been too one-sided with the obsession on youth, so adding some older pieces won't put that balance in jeopardy anyway.

Even the Scudetto team only clicked once we brought in Zlatan, Giroud and Kjaer to lead the youngsters, and I remember how there were big concerns especially with Zlatans and Girouds age (38? 39 when they joined?). Since they're gone, our so called "leaders" have failed us miserably.

We need a combo
And we don’t need 11 world class players

4 to 5 WC players is plenty rest can be just good or very good system players

Guerra looks way better than jhashari

Thiago Silva surely credits a lot of his progress to being a student of Nesta.
Tomori played his best under Kjaer.
Leao grew up once Zlatan arrived.
Let's hope the addition of some world class veterans and leaders like Modric can push on some players, to match their standards.

Cant wait to see Modric face when our backline just gifts free goals, when out GK forgets he has to defend close side shots, when Leao gives up after several failed dribbles.
We will send him to retirement faster
Hopefully we will have fewer situations like that once we have midfielders who can hold possession

This is so important especially since our new model is to buy young and sell in their prime.

We should also try to develop our own senatori, players who embody the values of our great club, instead of important experience all the time. I think Gabbia has the best shot but I wonder if he has the quality to remain here for the long term.

We should really find long term solutions with the upcoming generation of talents like Camarda, Liberali and Zeroli. Keep them within reach.

Assuming we sign Modric and Xhaka, we should add at least one young mid like Guerra who can play lots of minutes behind the Xhaka, Modric, Fofana, trio. We don't know what will happen with Adli, Bennacer, Pobega, and RLC, probably two of them will stay so I would add a young Italian prospect that won't be Ricci because it looks like Tare/Allegri don't rate him and is now rumored with Inter.

Tutto writes of a possible Gimenez sale in view of our interest for starting quality and expensive strikers, but I wouldn't do it because I believe Santi needs a chance to show what he can do and so no to Vlaho and Nunez while Retegui is too expensive. My hope is that Camarda convinces Allegri to keep him with the big club and play important minutes and Immoble as 3rd choice doesn't bother me. I guess that would be a good mix of young and old.

There are so many areas to fix, including the defense where I think we can spend the big bucks, including for Dodo` that even Cafu` recommends, and help at CB with someone proven in the league, Kiwior, Gila, some of the names mentioned and Leoni as a prospect for the future. Keep Pulisic and Leao on the wings, Salae that can play multiple positions, find a buyer for Chuck.

MilanNews writes that we might make around 20 moves between incoming and outgoing players, a massive change from last season but I would like 5 or 6 of the returnees to start at least initially, depending on Maignan, to keep some sort of continuity and give time to the newcomers to acclimate themselves.

Gabbia came back from Spain a new man. He hit the groud running. I think from Jan24 under Pioli.
Then the two Portuguese managers messed him about.
I fully expect Allegri to bring the best out of him. Even better than what we saw under Pioli.
He'll always be good enough to be 1 of the 4 CB's.

If we sell Emerson and Theo..Is it too much to ask for this:

Dodo-Gila-Gabbia/Pavlovic-Tavares

I think Tavares would be too expensive as they rejected 35mil from Saudi. But I think that could be because they have to give a decent % to Arsenal. So maybe they'd rather a player exchange as reported.

I'm not crazy about Milanese cuisine, too bland, prefer the Neapolitan or Bolognese one full of carbohydrates like marathoners eat before a race. Paolo's wife is from Venezuela so we can add some spicy Latin American food and celebrate Taco days or something.

Tavares just renewed with Lazio until 2029 and, yes, Lolito would ask a ton for him. Not familiar with the LB from Brugge De Cuyper but he sounds like an interesting prospect.

I doubt this management is crafty and intelligent enough to make that many moves. I will start with 4 out and 4 in first

Lolito is a pain to deal with

Kiwior is a likely option.
Theate would be worth looking at. I liked him when he was in Italy a few years back.
If we get desperate, I can see them looking at Emerson. West Ham are inviting offers for him and Lazio have been linked.

Rlc plus 20 mil is enough Tavares. If not Lolito can go eff himself

Guys, you really need to stop going apeshit every time Pellegatti has a brain fart.

If there's one LB who doesn't give us an upgrade on Theo, esp defensively, it's Nuno Tavares.

We want to solidify as team becoming more compact.
