The Rumour Commode XXXIX: A Cardinal Sin

[Kuroha]

Theo and Giroud winning wc scudetto and cl this year.

I'm afraid it would be impossible

 

[Kuroha]

MasyaAllah Alhamdulillaah. I'm taking back every bad words against him

 

[Altafini]

To his point though - they arent even showing the Alvarez solo goal in highlights in the US, only the penalty and Messi assist.

If Messi scored that goal it would be on repeat every WC programme and advert

That's not just because he's Messi. He's a star, atleast almost everyone knows him and can relate to a popular star like him. I'm very sure many non-club football fans don't even know his name. The media will only put out what majority can relate to and you said "US"? Man! That explains it all. It's all about who is more sellable to the public,who do they want to see? Messi or Alvarez? You will do the same too if you are in that field (sport media).

 

[Altafini]

What about the 1st goal? Getting a penalty ( Alvarez ) is bigger than scoring a penalty ( Even if Messi hit a very nice penalty! ). And that's when the match looked even or even slightly in Croatia's favour) Alvarez changed the match by getting the penalty.

He got 1 penalty and also had 2 non penalty goals in the match!! Easy MOTM for a non-biased observer!

Messi was involved in Alvarez first goal too. His beautiful run overshadowed Messi's involvement. No one actually mentioned that. It's football man, you can't be too right and you cannot be too wrong but while we're hiding under the mask of being unbiased let's not downplay Messi's role in that match. Is match rating based on only goals and assists?(even as we know those play a huge role tho). I will rate both Messi and Alvarez on par and won't complain or whine if the MOTM goes to either one of them. Nothing is clear as day here.

STEP IT UP LMEAO

 

[milanazkals]

We need someone like Griezmann as a CAM/free role. Smart player. Very decisive in both phases of the game. I’m sure that’s what Pioli has in mind for that position but our options are limited.

STEP IT UP LMEAO

And sign the fucking contract!

Theo balon d’or

No doubt

C.D.K.

 

[patosheva]

Mazzara reports that our deal with Emirates will be 30-35m plus bonuses.

today is D day for that but also longo says it will be 35+bonuses that could go up to 10 mil

 

[Kuroha]

C.D.K.

CDK become better than Griezmann
Adli better than Zidane
Thiaw better than VVD
Vranckx better than Enzo
Lazetic better than Alvarez
Leao better than Mbappe

(we hope )

 

[Ludwig]

CDK become better than Griezmann
Adli better than Zidane
Thiaw better than VVD
Vranckx better than Enzo
Lazetic better than Alvarez
Leao better than Mbappe

(we hope )

Interestingly, I think CDK will indeed become better than Griezmann.

 

[MilanBG]

Mostly on Tata but Adli could have made a greater effort to retrieve the ball. He gave up a little too soon. But hey it’s only a friendly and Adli had a positive effect in attacking play. Hopefully he grows in confidence from here and works on the tracking back too.

The ball shouldn't be sent there. End of story.

berlusconi hahaha

This guy turned into a total r-etard

 

[MilanFan89]

Chelsea appear to have received a boost in their pursuit of Leao as, according to Sky Sports Germany – via Football Transfers – he is unwilling to pen a contract extension at AC Milan after they have failed to meet his demands.

Calciomercato have revealed that the Serie A giants are willing to sell the 23-year-old for £86million if he has not put pen-to-paper by the time the winter transfer window opens for business next month.

Journalist Simon Phillips has previously told GIVEMESPORT that Leao’s ‘head has been turned’ by Chelsea’s interest and, as a result, he has been keen to hold off committing his long-term future to AC Milan.

Bye Leao
He even followed Chelseas tiktok lol, and then unfollowed

if we really are forced to sell

86 million is too little

this guy is worth the entire clause

over 100 million min is what we should be asking from prem clubs

then the club can pocket 20-30 million and spend 70 easily

86M £ is roughly 100M €, it's not bad at all judging from the perspective that Leao does not want to extend

Really hopeful we land on something like this soon. The shape isn't that important and it would depend on how we face each opposition, but the idea is that we use CDK as sort of hybrid between the RW and AM positions, and have a more robust midfield for balance. Brahim can also play this freer role. This would mean that 4 players are basically competing for this one spot (CDK, Brahim, Messias and Saelemaekers) but we could shift between this and the typical 4231 depending on the need. The idea here is to free CDK from too much defensive off ball instruction, and to get that balance from the extra midfielder. We can still press high same way we did with Kessie with any one of the 3 mids, and we'd play like this against tougher opposition. Against weaker sides CDK can play up front with Giroud as basically a 442. I'm basing this on the noise from the training camp that Pioli is looking to free up CDK from too much tactical instruction and let him play freely as mostly an attacking threat, and how to reconcile this with the need for balance in the side (balance that we usually get from our RW).

€100m is a lot for a player who doesnt wanna extend and his contract expires in 18months

EMIRATES AND AC MILAN EXTEND LONG-STANDING PARTNERSHIP​

15 year relationship has become one of the most recognizable, respected and longest-running partnerships in global football​

AC Milan and Emirates have today announced the extension of their long-standing partnership. Emirates will continue as Official Airline Partner and a Principal Partner of the Rossoneri in a relationship that has successfully spanned over 15 years.

The iconic Emirates "Fly Better" logo will continue to prominently feature on the men's First team's playing jerseys across all of the Club's season fixtures. Emirates branding will also appear on youth jerseys across all national and international AC Milan Academies around the world, with the mission to share the positive values of football through the initiatives of the Club's Academies.

In addition to the airline's high-profile jersey sponsorship, the agreement will also continue to include highly visible signature Emirates branding across San Siro Stadium, as well as hospitality, ticketing and other marketing rights.

AC Milan and Emirates began their journey together in September 2007. The following year, the relationship was elevated to Top Institutional Sponsor. The prestigious shirt sponsor deal first featured during the 2010/11 season, connecting Emirates to millions of Rossoneri fans all over the world. Since then, Emirates has been visible on AC Milan jerseys for 590 official matches, with a total of 967 goals scored by players donning the airline's shirt branding.

To mark the renewal of the partnership, AC Milan paid a visit to Emirates Group Headquarters in Dubai, where the Rossoneri are currently holding a warm-weather training camp and also competing in the Dubai Super Cup. As part of the visit, coach Stefano Pioli, members of the men's first team, AC Milan's senior management team and representatives of the ownership group met with His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive, Emirates Airline & Group in a special moment that officially kicked off renewed collaboration and marked a shared vision for more great moments ahead.

Casper Stylsvig, Chief Revenue Officer of AC Milan, said: "We are truly proud to extend our partnership with Emirates and to continue to build upon our relationship with the world's largest international airline. Much like Emirates, AC Milan is committed to strengthening our bond with our global audience and continuing to do so alongside a brand that is capable of connecting the world from its global centre in Dubai makes us all very proud. With this new deal, AC Milan and Emirates will be side by side for almost two decades, a testament to the strength and depth of our unique relationship."

Sir Tim Clark, President Emirates Arline said: "We are thrilled to continue our partnership with AC Milan, and we look forward to more opportunities to engage with one of the most passionate fan bases in the world. We've been a committed supporter of the club for over 15 years, and as we enter the next phase of our relationship, we're working closely with AC Milan on innovative opportunities to showcase the best of each of our brands. Our partnership with the club also complements the deep investments we have made in Italy over the last three decades, as part of our ongoing commitment to support our customers, and the businesses and communities we serve across our four Italian gateways."

AC Milan's partnership with Emirates underlines the club's commitment to strengthening its physical presence in the Middle East. The region is a strategic focus area for the Rossoneri, where football remains the most popular and played sport and the club has the support of over 2.5 million passionate fans. As a testament to the commitment of the Club to the region, AC Milan has plans to open a new office in Dubai, which will serve as a base for the club to further develop its commercial and communication strategy in the Middle East. More details of the new office will be shared in due course.

The partnership is also a testament of Emirates' commitment to Italy, which the airline has been proudly serving for more than 30 years. Emirates currently operates 36 weekly flights to Italy across four gateways which include Milan, Rome, Venice and Bologna.

I just didn't want to summon the nostalgy merchants here and acted like he was normal at some point and then turned into a coconut.

Leao for 100 m cash? Throw in 2 of their youth players as well and ship his ass to LHR.

This kinda negatively impacts a good number of positions and some tactics to give CDK room, not really a fan of that.

- The idea of a free role player doesn't go well with the 1v1 dynamic pressing model
- You need to use Vranckx as a body guard and have to start the inferior Dest instead of Calabria to get some width.
- It is hard to say if that would even profit CDK, i think there is a good chance that he would profit from a simple and central role, he just needs to learn to use his body, Him becoming a really strong playmaking winger is not impossible but he doesn't exactly scream that either.

In terms of experimenting with Dest I wouldn't be against trying him as balance player at RW, his defensive skills would look better in that position and his positive game is solid anyway. As RB he will be a liability for quite a while, on Serie A level and CL level he isn't up to par in defense.
