The Rumour Commode XLVIII: Tare Tare Sauce

[Ac-Aizen]

Theo was great at one point and his transfer feels bittersweet but then I remembered his horrendous performances, especially against feyenoord, and it gets easier.

Anyway, I wish him all the best

 

[Ryo]

Tijji 56m (+7m in bonuses)
Theo 25m (+5m in bonuses)
Kalulu 14m (+3m in bonuses)
Pelegrino 4m
Brescianini 8m (I think this was in last year's financials, so excluded his 8m from below)

it's about 99m +15m in bonuses

we currently have to buy 2 strikers, Reijnders + Theo replacements

Your numbers are wrong for Tiji though.
56M base plus bonuses to get him up to 70M

Also, did we not renegotiate CDK's deal last year to get rid of a 10% sell on clause or something? I read somewhere that 2024/25 was a loan and we would get his 22M or whatever in this year

 

[amanmilan]

Yes.

Whatever the tough guys in here think, I think he was the player most affected by the Maldini sacking. And he has his own demons it seems. No father figure growing up, not quite his big bro. As pathetic as that sounds, I don't think he would've regressed like this with Paolo around.

But man what a player at his best, one of the best I've seen in this jersey.

Damn makes me sad when I see this. On his day the best lb in the world

It proves he doesnt care much about the football or his career. Only money.

But thats a bad comparison.
More like owning a ferrari to owning 10 ferraris in a month

I acknowledge that his time with us is over as it looked like he isn't putting enough effort the last 2 season and the last one straight up looked like he doesn't care at all at some points, but I don't think that he thinks only about money.
He rejected their first approach, hoping to stay in Europe (rumored offer from Atletico), but when that failed and he was probably told that he is not in the club plans and if he doesn't move he will be frozen out in the stands for the entire season, which would mean he 100% won't be picked for the World Cup by France in 2026.
Basically he has no choice, but to accept Saudis offer now, because he is risking too much if no other european team is willing to pay the asking price from us.
At the end we get a nice amount for a player in his last year of the contract and he will get a very nice salary and might be able to cook in their league if he puts some effort, it's a win-win situation for both parties (unless Deschamps totally ignores the Saudi league and totally forgets him, but oh well... )

I choose to remember him with some of the electrifying performances that he gave for us and the bangers he scored, but it's time to go our separate ways - wish him all the best and hope he can find his motivation once again.

Massimiliano Allegri isn't counting on Yacine Adli, who will be sold this summer and has a offers from Qatar and Bordeaux. [Kay Palli]

Not even a pretend phone call from max

Kay Palli is turning out to be the interesting new anime protagonist of this mercato

How do Tare and other European sd's miss out on dear yacine?

 

[ACM14061988]

Tomorrow my source will meet Tare

Simone Inzaghi had direct contacts with #TheoHernandez , who accepted [after several negative responses] the destination . #Milan is one step away from closing the deal with Al Hilal for a total sum of approximately 29 million euros

[Ryo]

Forza Ganso and Thiago Silva. Beat those fuckers.

 

[Wild]

Thank you KSA.

 

[CapitanoMaldini]

For once we benefit from the Saudi money

 

[P.Lorre]

Cry all you want... targetting the players you want/need, and creating the budget for them is smart business.

Why go into the summer not knowing what you can spend? At least 80% of your sales should be made by market's open, and anything there after is gravy for additional moves.

I want to also close with this... An opinion piece:

If Theo accepts Como in January for 50M... We are able to still buy Giminez and would still close the season in the red. Think we still would have sold Tiji? Or at least strung it out longer to max out top dollar?

 

[P.Lorre]

For once we benefit from the Saudi money

And it isn't even for fucking Benny

 

[Ryo]

29-30M Euros for a guy who has 1 year on his contract and can sign elswhere for free in 6 months time....

Furlani and Moncada never had a selling problem.
Their problem is that the Zebra led Mickey Mouse Club are shit at squad construction and talent identification.

Hopefully Tare and Allegri here will rectify that issue, but I'll reserve judgement until after the Mercato Chiuso.
We got burned last summer with the sudden outflux of useable pieces as loans in the last 10 days of August.

That's never been the issue mate. We spend what we earn. Gerry has never taken a cent from us to put in his own pocket.

It's them spending on absolute trash that's more of the issue.

Y'all need to stop painting him like a cartoon villain and actually call out the real shit that he does wrong. Only then can we have some positive change with Milan.

What money from sales has he pocketed? Serious question

Redbird put the costs of around 50-55m of San Donato on our books, unnecessarily.

Meanwhile, he uses other money of Redbird to buy into F1 (around a billion), finance large corporate mergers worth billions, finance entertainment companies, and even purchase UK newspapers--we are spending far below what we make, our board is the most highly compensated board in Serie A, while our wages are around 45% of our revenues, perhaps even less, before this season.

 

[Hitchens]

55m to San Donato while choosing the San Siro project seems a gigantic waste of money to a layman like myself. It is, isn't it?

 

[gioiuzza]

Lecce apparently in pole position to take Camarda on loan

would be a dream to see him find his feet in Serie A with my second favourite team before he comes back to take us to glory

 

[Hitman]

when people get mad, they need people to blame

99% of the finger pointing here is misplaced blaming


they think it's gerry's fault when Gabbia made a critical mistake in the CL that eventually resulted in our elimination

they think it's gerry's fault that the squad's value dropped alot this season

they think it's gerry's fault we played some of the ugliest football there is last szn


gerry's doing the best he can and he's not doing a bad job. all that happened is that we had zlatan come in last summer and fk things up sporting-wise and we had a horrid season (single season, not plural)

we'll be back.. but probably after allegri

San Donato, if used for Milan, will end up becoming a Capital Asset for Milan, so I don't see why it shouldn't be put on to our books.

Whether we are using it as the site for the new Stadium or the new Milanello, those costs, when capitalized, would become something owned by Milan, and not by Redbird separately.

Agree to disagree, but I see no problem with that right now, specially since the use of that land is still undecided. At the very least, it's Milan who get to decide on what they want to do with it, because it's OURS.

As for the other complaints, Redbird is a separate legal entity to Milan, what Gerry does with the assets in RB have no connection to Milan.
You can complain that our owner spends his money on other ventures and not on us, but we all knew coming into this that we were meant to be a self-sustaining operation.

Why shouldn't it? Because it limits what Milan can spend on sporting costs.

He did not have to put it on our books, that's the issue.

55m to San Donato while choosing the San Siro project seems a gigantic waste of money to a layman like myself. It is, isn't it?

Either project has its pros and cons. San Siro has (far) less work to do when it comes to infrastructure in comparison to San Donato. San Donato would allow you to make a Milan Disney World, or perhaps a Milan-centered Shopping Center sorta thing. Sometimes I wonder whether San Siro was their target all along, it has better name recognition, and the hurdles around expanding public transport to San Donato plus the need to grab security (police) from the municipality of Milan seemed cumbersome.

The advantage of football clubs is that they provide vehicles for you to develop real estate easier than if you simply wanted to redevelop the land just as a corporate developer, even as a powerful one--the built-in constituency of fans gives you leverage and interest that you wouldn't otherwise have.

San Donato allows you to build a new training center and youth center, etc, you can sell Milanello if you want, inject those funds into the club--Real did this in the 2000's to bail themselves out, with the help of the government and Spanish banks.
