No, I haven't forgotten about morata's 5m per year (I'm talking net for simplification, but gross is much worse in comparison of the players)

Morata played here for.. 6 months. Contributed 6 g+a for an approximate 2.5m euro salary worth. Origi for a 20m euro salary, contributed 3.

Origi is a sunken cost of 20m euro, while Morata was bought for 12m, has not been on our payroll for half a year (and won't be for a half a year more at least with fenerbahce having the option for continue the loan) and is pending a potential sale.

Having a 20m comulative salary for 3 g+a, compared to a 2.5m relative salary for a 6 g+a, is a thing of horrors

Do you really want to compare the financial/sporting transactions of Morata and Origi?

Also, I understand you're referring to trolling as to minimize the counter argument, but I haven't trolled/attempted to troll once in this exchange
1. The net losses from Morata aren't final yet and can easily exceed 20M. We haven't sold him nor have we taken him off of our payroll.
Let's wait and see. ;)

2. Calculating Morata's goals per salary is just pathetic. :lol: He was terrible, got outscored by Tijani and Pulisic and was part of the reason we failed reaching top 4.

So, Redshit's transfers along with Morata are also why we lost 50-60M from CL football.
That's 3 Origis bro. :proud:

Good news about Monz takeover bid.

I hope all teams get a rich owner and they overthrow these old farts at FIGC.

Serie A desperately needs a fucking complete makeover - enough of this saggy old stinky corrupt beggar bullshit

Teams should get nice shiny stadium and get better tv deals by giving a good product

Coulda Woulda shoulda?
Meanwhile Origi is registered under 'Futuro' in transfermarkt. Youre talking about 'net losses'?
And how will you respond when management manages to sell morata? Will you give them respect then?

A supposedly 'worse signing than Origi financially' :proud:
2. Calculating Morata's goals per salary is just pathetic. :lol: He was terrible, got outscored by Tijani and Pulisic and was part of the reason we failed reaching top 4.
Youre describing Morata as a financial disaster.. Compared him to Origi.. Who both act as ST's. Tell me, an apple to apples comparison of a g+a contribution is not apt for strikers?

If we're comparing apples to oranges, Fofana has more than double the g+a contribution in a year to origi's whole contract here, and fofana aims as good as me when I'm waking up for a piss on 3 am.
So, Redshit's transfers along with Morata are also why we lost 50-60M from CL football.
:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Youre a Theo hernandez fan, and have the audacity to blame redshit's transfers for loss of CL football?
That's 3 Origis bro. :proud:
I see you took math lessons from the Avril Lavigne lover

Which performance are you talking about? The 2-0?
Antonini didn't play that match
View attachment 50533

I can understand liking somebody like Abate despite his defficiency in attack, but Antonini was just a disaster who could make a huge mistake that could lose us points at any time.
Really horrible defender.

Personally for me Antonini never deserved to even play for Milan.
I don't really understand why players should be praised for ''giving their all'', especially when they play at a club like at Milan where they usually are getting paid a couple of millions a season at least. For that money not only would I give it my all but I would carry the other players' bags and I would even cut the grass at Milanello.

Maybe some people also self-insert into players like Antonini and think ''that could be me'', but personally if I played that badly I would return my salary to Milan out of shame and personally apologize to the fans.
The season before. 0-0 in San Siro

Can’t add players from Belgian league in free version. Those def actions are still missing. I think only 2 of Ricci, Xhaka, Jashari & Guerra will arrive. Ricci and Jashari probably.
Ricci is unfathomable garbage. By this graph he's a quarter of the player Fofana is and Fofana isn't exactly world class either

What do you think of Ricci? Probably you are the only one who’s actually seen him play
Ricci's best trait is to keep possession, hardly ever gets moved off the ball, good passer, young at 23, and good size at 1.81 meters. Natural DM but stays back too much and doesn't contribute to the offense. This could be on order from the coaches he had at Torino, (Juric and Vanoli), both very conservative and defensive minded. Has good recovery speed and saw him make some terrific tackles after long runs back.

At Empoli had more freedom of movement, was player of the year in Serie B, and we've been on him since then. The best I've ever seen him play was in September of 2024: France-Italy 1-3, a win that nobody expected, in a midfield 3 with Tonali and Frattesi. The chemistry with Tonali was amazing, kept finding each-other with ease taking turns on who would be further up the pitch and who lower. The Italian media hailed the two as the future of Italian midfield. In all Ricci has played 10 matches for Italy but never replicated his performance vs France.

I think Allegri can work with him since he's had some great midfielders at Juve and there's never been a question about Ricci's work rate or discipline.
Checked TransferMarket and they rate his value at 30 millions which is within our parameters so if we want more Italians in the squad Ricci is not a bad choice.

Bennacer has a 50mil release clause. We would basicaly be losing 15mil that way.

Get some brains.
Didnt Marsille sign him? Tell them about Pep's phone call and all the lies on this forum about him.

It has to be said, tho, Xhaka for example plays in a very dominant team who thrives on possession. I'm more worried about the lack of Def actions from Ricci.

Idk I’m skeptical of this Ricci guy for purely superficial reasons

Guy is handsome young Italian with a strong Italian name and no other Italian side wants him? Something stinks

Nice to see you guys are hopeful tho

He’s steady, not flashy, doesn’t give the ball away, plays tidy passes, and will run all game. I think he’s best when given allowance to link up and make runs forward, rather than just sitting deep. He can mature as a DM, but it feels “early” for him to do so. If the rest of our midfield and team is higher quality and functions well together, he can play at DM and be just fine. Add in bench midfielders with him and he might drown under the weight of having to do too much.
Ricci has enough experience in Serie A, played 126 matches so far, that I'm sure won't feel any pressure and will follow coach's instructions to the letter.
Yes, Torino is not Milan but Barella moved to Inter from Cagliari and didn't miss a beat.

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
But what was our head scout doing all this time?

Or the managers... Come on this was never a SD problem.

Not replacing the defensive cover in midfield has been a collective fuck up.

TBF, we have a good track record of hyped transfers flopping and seemingly underwhelming transfers flourish.
