Isnt there anybody at Lyon we can take? They got relegated because of financial issues.
Few interesting players

Mikautadze - 11 goals 6 assists in ligue 1.
Thiago Almada - Linked with us regularly.
Malick Fofana
Tolisso - Rediscovered him form at Lyon. 7 goals 4 assists.

I implied that they were small.
No, you cried ''They can't possibly be size 10 :(''
Enough is enough, you are hereby banished to my ignore list
I even held back on making a mom joke because I remembered you said your mother was dead and that would have been tasteless
I gave you a chance but clearly you're a bitter person and I am not wasting my time on engaging with you anymore

This shit again?
Tontalis was the one who implied they were big not me
I don't keep track of weird shit like that you freaks
I just know that for most of my life I had more trouble finding shoes than most other people I knew
But the situation has improved over the years, now it's a lot better than it used to be say 10-15 years now
Yes, finding men's shoes would be difficult when your size is more equivalent to women size, I would assume

I'm glad modern advancements has helped you in that regard

LA77, one of my all time favourite Milan players. Probably second only to Nesta. Fucking loved his passion for the Milan Shirt

Tare said we are playing 4-3-3.

Please tell me how Gimenez AND a new #9 fit into that lineup. :proud:

Also, there's nothing "to own" except people's Maldini trauma :proud:

Redshit wasted more on Morata alone compared to Origi. And I can easily name 4-5 players like Morata.

Tare said we will be playing with 3 midfielders (not 4-3-3), it could also be a 352 as Allegri played that at Juve

MN – Tare: "Musah is a great player, but he doesn’t have the qualities needed for the project."

A charming way of saying that Musah probably doesn't have the decision making and football IQ for the way Allegri wants his midfielders.

Neither Tare nor Allegri have had a training session with him.. I don't understand how they can totally eliminate a player without even seeing him. Musah clearly hasn't found his role in midfield yet as he's young and talented, he just needs a proper coach that wants to work with him. Moreover he's fluent in Italian, experienced in all leagues, talented and young. Something must have happened last year that caused Tare + Allegri to give up on him before they've even seen one training session with him.

Pobega, adli, musah, reijnders OUT

Modric, xhaka, jashari, Ricci IN

But we'll then have SEVEN midfielders in total - modric, xhaka, jashari, Ricci, fofana, rlc , bondo.

I wonder if rlc will be sold, or bondo loaned out?

Who says we're going to spend another 35M+ on a striker?

Vlahovic would be avaiable for 20M. We'll only bite if he's ready to significantly lower his enormous wage demands too. The rest is just noise as far as we know. Also, what's so wrong about having two strikers with complementary skillsets and the ability to challenge each other? @forward in one post mocks the lack of quality on our bench, in the next he laughs at the idea of having, God forbid, two capable strikers for one spot.

The fuck is wrong with you guys?

I think Tare did indicate that we will be signing a second striker to compete with Gimenez (and co-exist if possible).. he did say price is irrelevant, but characteristics are what matter the most. I think it makes sense we sign a player who could be a starter ahead of Giroud and it's not crazy to expect to sign him between 20-40m..

also, I really think we need a third striker to replace Jovic. two aren't enough for a full season. when one gets injured or suspended or is out of form, we will need an alternative. i think if we can get Immobile for less than 8m we should consider it.

My expectations are very simple.
If we spend 35M on a striker in January, I expect him to be a guaranteed starter.

When Tare says "we need a Giroud-like #9", you can bet your fucking ass, we won't sign anyone like that for less than 20-30M.

Splashing another 20-30M on a striker when we need 2 FBs, and 2 midfielders is simply fucking insane.

Actually, his hold up is good from what I see. He has incredible feet for a giant. A poor mans Ibra.
I knew of him and wanted us to get him when he was in Serie B. I thought he'd become even better than he has. Still room to improve though as he's young for a striker.
I heard some transfer experts saying 40mil+ would be needed for Lucca and that Napoli were most keen, so that's why I felt we wouldn't get him.
But I can't think of a striker like Giroud that seems realistic.
You know him better than me then, so hope we get him.

The man quickly realized that defensive midfielders were a priority for this team, something that had been ignored for years.

I mean, you don't even have to be an expert to figure it out but we had to wait for the first capable SD in years to tell them. :o

Giroud came here on a 4m euro transfer

Not bad, they’re in Serie A with GP as a coach. A 2 striker approach with a sYsTeM coach is actually not a bad landing spot for him

Pretty big chance for him. I hope he can get some starts
GP is gone, replaced by Nicola. The other problem is that Lecce's best player is their striker Krstovic so either they play with 2 strikers or sell their starter.

Ricci has never been so close to wearing the Milan jersey. Very positive contacts between the clubs this morning, but not yet decisive to reach a definitive agreement.
The club would in fact like to close for the arrival of another midfielder before Ricci

Di Marzio

Lol
Well I have no preference
Although Jivara seems the most friendly of the bunch, sheva is a bit smug and yungeddy is a hothead
Nha I like all 3 lol. I like all of them but I was trying to relate them to players they love lol

Basing it on their favourites lmao

In that case I choose Sheva all day

Whelp, after these obsessions with getting Xhaka which is now pretty much confirmed by his father and getting Jashari for crazy money, I can safely say that Tare is full of shit when he says he wants to bring us back to our former glory

Somebody said that Tare will get a big commission out of these players
I never considered that, I just thought he was doing it out of nepotist/nationalistic reasons, but what that guy said could be the case

Hope we at least get Xhaka for cheaper like 8-10 mil like they're trying to

Also I'm at the bargaining stage, if we get De Cuyper then I will forgive the Jashari purchase
I doubt that will happen

I don’t mind just getting krstovic honestly
And maybe immobile as the third choice

I don’t want to get any striker not named Oshimen or gyokeres or isak ideally for big money

Other options I would be ok with are boniface or guirassay if cheap

No point spending 40 plus on a striker that isn’t listed above. For boniface and guirassay not more than 30 mil

Vlahovic worst case and I am talking absolute max we should spend for him is 20 mil

That’s it

Looks like we are looking at

Modric
Jhashari
Xhaka
Ricci for the quota

I am ok with this for the right prices.

I have a problem with jhasari costing 30 mil plus

20 mil or 25 max

Ricci again over 20 means he is fodder. It’s a fodder shit deal.

Xhaka 10 yes it’s ok.
