Being negative is the easy way out.

Remember Frauduloglu or whatever? Or how about how sad it was that Milan believed in Cutrone as a striker?

Remember Romangoli was not developing and was just hype? How about Calabria being "the next DES"?

It's easy to say the whole team sucks, because then you can sit back when things go badly, and be like "I told you so" about any player, and if we do well, no one says shit, because we're winning.

When I don't see your name when things are going well, but I see it when things are bad, I know what's up.

@MB

nobody can shit talk your fav player list if you only keep HOF players there

I'm thinking, as long as they're Milan players iz ok.

and people hating on Suso are really ridiculous... the guy is talented. he must score and assist more though I agree.

I need to make some changes to my fav players list but I can't figure out how. I can change everything else except that it seems...

Help from anyone would be appreciated as there are some names that simply must be removed lol.

No need to underrate our players. I think Hakan and Suso have way too much responsibility atm and that's why they get slated (particularly Suso). The lack of a creative mid means everything goes through them. Btw, Roma were after Suso as well, so that says something :lol:

But seriously, ask any Inter fan and they will confirm what I said. Candreva is hot trash. Perisic is good, not great, but very inconsistent. Often gets his reputation because he has a tendency to have an outstanding game or come up clutch from time to time. Keita we will see. Did well at Lazio, but not at Monaco in an inferior league and got benched by Niang at the World Cup.

I'm not underrating anybody. Both Hakan + Suso were excellent purchases from a business perspective but are not top players. Hakan had a poor start to the season but a great ending whereas it was vice-versa for Suso. I can give Hakan a lot of leeway as he was coming to a brand new league having missed half the previous season.

In an ideal world, both would be excellent backups for Milan. If you disagree, ask yourself would a shrewd scout like Leonardo really have signed Hakan? I think he's a decent part-time winger but better suited to CAM. If he's played there and surrounded by top players he could explode and become one himself.

Also, Perisic is a top player no two ways about it. His performances with Inter and Croatia at the WC prove this beyond doubt. Keita was also formidable at Lazio and didn't do badly at Monaco as people claim (8 goals/5 assists in 23 games).

Like I said, when we sign SMS our GK/Def/Mid departments will be on par with Inter/Roma and Napoli. However, without a legit top winger we'll still be behind all those teams in the attacking department. The fact they all have top/very promising coaches doesn't help matters either.

If we had signed SMS and Rabiot/Verratti and loaned a top winger like Martial/Depay we would've had the second best squad in Serie A period. That's why it'll be a failure if Leo ends the mercato as things stand.

I agree with what you're saying but you have to remember we only got rid of fraud Li just a month ago. A lot of time after that was spent getting rid of management and directors so considering the time line I think so far it has been a success. I'm sure Leonardo knows what he's doing and what is lacking, it will take some time to address every area.

Higuain, SMS, Rabiot + top winger?

Come on now. That's a bit unrealistic, not to mention reckless.

We spent over 200m last summer and got banned for our shitty corporate structure and unrealistic forecasting. Elliot, Leo and co. come in and overturn the ban and then give the entire media a spiel about being sensible to get into the good books with UEFA. You can't throw that out the window in the span of two weeks.

More great players will come, but not all in one go.

For the next fixture with Napoli, based on hakan can't play, will Samu play the winger with suso or it will be bona to go upfront, with biglia, kessie, bakayoko as midfielder?

Maldini has been seen going to the Mens room as Laxalt contemplates which restroom is appropriate for them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Lotito paid all these twitter "insiders" to hype up SMS, make it seem like we're actually willing to pay 120 fucking million for the guy.

Meanwhile, Leo asked how much, Lotito said 120, Leo said, it's a no from me dawg, and that was that.

But Lotito accomplished his goal of making it seem like someone is willing to pay crazy money for his player, so some foolish club in the future may actually buy him for crazy money.

Just like when he said that he refused 110 mil from United last summer.
The fuck he did.
I guarantee that he never got an offer of more than 80 million
