Incorrect sir. This is the official Calcio Knowledge tierlist.

First one is correct, patosheva tier 1.
Penguins though, out of their place

Still, for most players and fans, he’s widely regarded as the No. 1. That kind of reputation adds to the pull we’re clearly lacking now, as seen with Theo and others.
Maybe they never watched Milan before him . Which others ? This is football club not Kindergarten .

Bring back Elliot with full control, at least people seemed more confident in the direction
You have Furlani, who is 100% Elliott’s man and still runs the show and has the final word, at least for now it seems to be that way. I just don’t understand why Tare, and especially Allegri, would agree to something like that. Two independent guys who don’t tolerate nonsense or authority.

This may be a true to some extent, but the real reason is simple; money. At times we could get lucky and discover a closet-Milanista who will reject other offers that financially are slightly better for the player (Jashari) and other times you'll have players like Brown who will be swayed by a €500k higher salary than we could offer ... even to the point where he'll accept playing in a non-top 5 league.

In most cases, to win a mercato battle you'll have to; 1) offer a sufficient amount of money, first to satisfy the demands of the player and his agents - 2) strike a deal with the club we're dealing with.
I mean this is a very simple concept, unless you are super rich and can pay the buy it now price, you are going to haggle, make choices, prioritize. Things don’t happen in a vacuum, and just because you made plans for something doesn’t mean everything will fall in your favor.

It’s been this way since Berlu stopped splashing.

So acting like “omg embarrassment” or “omg zero planning” is disingenuous to say the least.
This wasn't a problem in 2017 without Maldini when we got our targets (except Auba & Belotti) easily, because we pursued our targets assertively and spent with impunity.
And very quickly Elliot realized that the idea of “just pick your spots to spend with impunity” quickly adds up and that you are either going to have discipline or you won’t they swung all the way to the other end. But let’s revise history now and pretend like “Elliot’s strategy” was going to overcome these factors and take us back to the top.

We haven’t seen a straight forward 35m signing again until Gimenez in January.

Again replacing good gk with older worst one
But we miss 6 players at least hahaha

I think that Torriani will be the backup goalkeeper this season, that sounds the only logical thing in all of this. He is already ready enough for a bigger role in the team.


It makes sense for Terraciano to be the third option.

Since they are in the club and we not , maybe they do not see nonsense but clear hierarchy .

Because in the real world it’s all give and take.

Adults can see that even with such constraints milan is NOWHERE close to being optimized and that they could still make an impact.

Only entitled children say my way or the high way and rage quit. Unless they are the boss and have money of course.

More or less, it’s not that important in Allegri’s case considering he’s just the coach, but Tare is the sporting director, and as things stand now, he only holds that position formally, without having any real influence

Terraciano played serious minutes up until last season.

He’s good enough to be a back up

Really ? Because he is the one who decides what he need and it is involved in evaluating players . We know that about Tare how ? He is SD , same as Maldini before , " connecting " position . Not the one who is running the whole show .

There are far too many to name past & present
America and it's businessmen ruin everything when it comes to sports. All they care about is maximising profits and everything else is secondary.

Was starter until Fiorentina got De Gea, seen him make spectacular saves but also make mistakes. I don't understand the need to change back-up keepers with all our other needs, but maybe Sportiello asked for a transfer.

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

What's wrong with wanting success for your club, but ultimately realising they are run by gimps and supported by their stans. The spin and cope by you lot is hilarious, makes me chuckle.

Honestly, for me, the appointment of the new sporting director was just a way to smooth things over after a disastrous last season. In reality, nothing important has changed, everyone in the management has kept their positions, which is absurd after last year’s fiasco. Moncada might be a good scout and nothing more. Furlani and Ibra might be good at certain things, but when it comes to football management, they are complete amateurs. Honestly, I wish Tare the best of luck, he’s going to need it

Roma's transfer market is being run by Ranieri and old friend Massara, with Gasp's input. They' re linked with some good players but limited on how much they can spend by UEFA. I see them as candidates for top 4, ahead of Atalanta, so we need to move quickly and smartly if we don't want to get left behind.

That is why we have now also SD . So the rest can concentrate on their jobs . No need to spread his duties anymore . No one is hiring somebody just to smoot the things , because some fans are not happy . At least not us . Let first see what will be the result .

Normally I give them the benefit of doubt until we see the end product because really that’s all that matters not how many negotiations you won and lost

But it’s pretty clear this method of operating dating back to Elliot simply doesn’t fly anymore. You can’t just insist on whatever your value of a player is and hope the other side folds

I get penny pinching without CL money so I’ll be patient but this strategy as a whole is just getting dumb. How many good players will this club miss out on because of haggling over a few million before changing ways
