True in what sense?

The way I see it happening is that we had a deal with him based on reasonable figures, both fee, commission and wage. He was on the long list of players we have for the LB spot and all these factors being in line with our valuation of him meant that we greenlit the deal. He was about to board a plane to come sign the contract at Milan, but his agent forced the issue and asked Fenerbahce to raise their bid, specifically the commission which apparently shot up to 3m, way over the line that Furlani was comfortable with. We folded and the player boarded the plane to Turkey.

That seems like the most reasonable explanation of what happened. We were most definitely interested and had an offer on the table, there's probably no denying that. He would have been a good moneyball risk at the agreed figures, but things went out of hand in the end. It happens. What we do know is that we always have a long list of options, but hopefully we don't end too far down the list and for it to be too late in preseason.

I would have liked to sign Brown, he honestly seemed like a good deal, even with the commission. Sometimes those principles bite us in the ass, for example with Thuram and Zirkzee. Hopefully they learn a lesson and close the Vlahovic deal even if the commissions are crazy. Sometimes to you need to make some exceptions.
We can try to logically justify it but everyone without digging deeper will only see another embarrassing story for Milan

Welcome aboard, honestly I thought you weren't gonna make over here with us.

Not to worry I'm telling @Deep Fried Pizza & Chips to move over just a bit to make room for you. You can sit between the two of us.

Just saw Bayer got tillman for 35m. I think we were linked w him b4?
Curious to see how he does in a top league considering he was considered a bit selfish and inconsistent in his first year at psv

Also thats a guy with 2x 10 goal seasons in eredivisie and 5 goal contributions in 6 CL games last season

Forehead is ridic overpriced for what he's achieved so far

Fuck me the levels of copium are crazy. It's not that Archie Brown didn't come here it's the fact he's shit AND we still lost out. Mental acrobatics here from the company men are crazy, apparently now we never wanted him. There's no agenda its now 13th July and all we have is Ricci and 40 year Modric, that's the facts.

Let me be clear, I want to be proven wrong but so far management are proving they are incompetent shysters.
I'm intrigued by this 3-6-1 formation we're building for.

Will the wide players be inverted opposite footed defensive attack minded central but wide central players that balance things for our singular doesn't help with build up play mexican gun slinger?

And who covers the areas behind them?

An article on MilanNews talks about Salaemakers that Allegri likes and what role he might have on Milan. Motta at Bologna and Ranieri at Roma played him on both wings as wing-back but also further up when they went with a 4-3-3. Both coaches liked him and wanted to keep him, Motta went to Juventus and Italiano at Bologna had other ideas while Roma doesn't want to spend the 20 plus millions that Milan asked for him.

He's here to stay and has said that he enjoyed the experiences elsewhere on clubs that one made the Cl and the other Europa League missing CL by one point. Happy to be back now, more experienced and a better player than when he left. Among other things Salad is a steady member of the Belgian National team with 16 appearences. Many here still think of him as fodder but I followed his career and disagree.

There were articles at some point that Allegri is thinking of using Salae as he did Quadrado, offensive minded RB and at times RW that didn't score much but was an awesome crosser. Salaemakers had 7 goals and 7 assists in all comps last season, and has gotten really good at feeding the ball to strikers in the middle, many crosses that Dovbyk should have done better with.

We're looking at a ton of fullbacks but maybe we should try Salad there, alternating with Jimenez, it won't cost us a cent, and RW when Pulisic is resting, injured, or subbed for.

Jashari will cost almost the same.
Tillman play in a more advanced than Jashari.
Yeah lets see how it plays out at the end.

It's not a bad idea. Salaemakers and Jimenez can cover the RB position this year. They are both hard workers. Better spend the whole 25 mils from Theo on a good left back.

I know our defense sucks right now but we lack creativity and attacking options too. We need two new wingers to replace Chuku and Okafor, a striker to rotate with Gimenez and a creative midfielder. Only Modric can create currently. Pobega Bennacer Musah Adli have to fuck off immediately.

Our midfield should be:

Jashari Modric Fofana

and

New playmaker Ricci RLC

And let's be honest, 57.7 million for Reijnders is a disaster. And apart from €6 million, we'll never see most of the bonuses. It's such an incredibly bad deal.

The club is a clown show, a circus.

... well, I had to get that off my chest. Enough ranting. Holiday mode reactivated. The club isn't worth it anymore anyway.
Ok which one of the mods are pulling this prank

Oh, how I love the "I want to be proven wrong" addendum slip when all you guys do is cry about management day and night

This level of disrespect would NEVER happen if Maldini were still in charge. Without him, the club has become a complete joke. Everyone feels free to shit on us because they know we’re run by amateurs. We have zero pull, zero class, atleast before there are people came here for Maldini. People now look down on us like we’re some small clubs like Bologna. It’s embarrassing.

Clubs hung up the phone in his face when he tried to lowball them repeatedly
