The Rumour Commode XXXIX: A Cardinal Sin

[Alo88]

Napoli being on track for a 100 point season is crazy

Even if the owners let Maldini more freedom to operate on the Mercato and bring a more ready CB and/or RW - Napolis current track record is incredible and would haven been hard to beat nonetheless.

Of course that's not me saying it wouldn't have made a difference. It would have, obviously.

It could help for the match against Tottenham and also help for next season. Also top 4 isn't guaranteed unless maybe this 15 point penalty on Juve sticks.

Juve offering -15% discount on tickets for Atalanta match

unbelievable !

i don't think their fans are in shopping mood...but Milan Napoli inter fans could use new floor / bathroom mats

At the very least I dont think we wouldve been seeing these woeful displays and if it went down to a handful of points lost against key rivals that would be sour but ok
- felt like we didnt even try (as in how things are going now with none of our bets working out).

100%. Both us and Napoli showing that sustainability and smart scouting (mostly) can achieve success. Now, we just need to uncover a scandal against ADL to -20 Napoli.

Så inter merda can get their two stars?

Inter and Napoli winning titles because of Calciopolli damn

FI are such dicks... always up juves arse

Napoli being on track for a 100 point season is 100% on Maldini, Massara, Gerry, and everybody else in management!!!!

 

[Deep Fried Pizza & Chips]

Are we Ziyech yet???!!!

Loan with option... GO!!!!

 

[RBaggio]

Napoli being on track for a 100 point season is 100% on Maldini, Massara, Gerry, and everybody else in management!!!!

We are 9 Points behind before this week and if we only had beaten napoli in a game we dominated and dont Live a 5 minute brainfart in roma game we would be just 1 Point behind them.
Now we are second nonsense (9 points to 1 st place, 4 points to 7th place (before Juve deduction)) turned to napoli is great we couldnt be Champion anyway thing.
If we are bad we are bad , if we are good we are good. We should perform well then if we cant make it , it is ok but Napoli’s performance shouldnt be an excuse

Are those dogs on his tie?

A whole zoo.

Need to replace fbt with parisi this summer but we won’t do that.

I like his attitude, he’s like Dest in that he’s willing to take players on and try to create for the team. With that said, he needs a lot of work positionally and also needs to deliver better end product after his daring takes.

I doubt he will want to come be back up for Theo. He needs to consistently start, so a move to a higher mid table team so he can start probably makes a lot more sense for him career wise.

It’s hard to find players who would be willing to accept this type of role. I know people shit on MM for FBT but I totally get the reasoning behind this signing. The only problem is this guy has not improved since he’s arrived.

 

[Curupira]

Di Lorenzo real captain unlike mediocre Calabria.

They don’t want to hear this.

Don’t get me wrong, he’s capable of putting up stops in big defensive moments. But let’s be honest, he’s also capable of getting embarassingly caught out of position or outplayed.

Dest isn’t it but RB needs to be upgraded as well, just isn’t on the priorities.

 

[Curupira]

Calabria's body is letting him down - he does all that he can.
Seems a very harsh to dig on Calabria

Napoli has all their ballers playing well and then Di Lorenzo

I’m not saying I would rather have Di Lorenzo.

But if we truly got CL ambitions, Calabria needs to be upgraded.

 

[Curupira]

It's more about antagonism towards the club owners and their stinginess / greed!! Elliott made a huge return on their investment in Milan. So how about paying some of that back to help the club grow! You can create a fully sustainable and top club like Real and Bayern but first it requires some outside investment.

You know with these people, huge return on their investment only means potential for more.

It’s sad but it’s the reality. Our common goal with them is to sort the club in order so it’s in sexy shape for a sugar daddy to splurge on.

Wait - since Juve, 22 pts, is playing Atalanta this weekend, 34 pts, are we now rooting for Juve?

Never, the only acceptable outcome is both teams lose points while we take 3 from our own game.

Exactly.

Agreed - but let's get issue 1-5 sorted before we worry about upgrading Calabria and honestly the upgrade for him should be one of those sneaky scouting picks.

 

[MilanMB]

We suck and there's no hope so just stop

Ideally we have a player like Florenzi who is fit and for the right you find a young athletic guy who splits time with Calabria and then takes over leaving Calabria as the sub.

Reported Wages during COVID was part of the fraud

come on man. Keep up

Was it also plusvalenza? That would involve a lot more parties no ?

 

[Ryo]

They're a public traded company. Lying about paying lower wages to players and then paying them under the table means less money for shareholders.
Pretty much the same as committing financial fraud against everyone and anyone who bought their stocks.

So fuck them.

Didnt Romano say the point deduction was on the “plusvalenza case” ?

Thats the inflated transfers. Wouldn’t that involve other clubs like Napoli and Barca as well as the older management like Marotta and Paritici?

The wages I think is a separate case

 

[Milan2012]

Nvm, got my answer. They’re the only ones getting hit because they’re public. But its only for plusvalenza, theres no reporting about covid wages. Paratici also got banned for 30 months, but only from Italian football. Supposedly an official statement will be released in a week.

How does Marotta avoid charges tho? He was their CEO for a while. Sounds suspect, like when Inter avoided calciopoli.

Agree, but he's taking a foreigner spot. I don't think we can afford that for a backup LB.

Also tax evasion.

Correct, its a separate issue. The points deduction was for new evidence in the plusvalenza case that shows Juve specifically not only did inflated plusvalenza (not illegal) but that they showed different numbers in their accounts from the publicly declared/paid amounts. They did something illegal that other clubs on the other side of the deal didn't.

The reason Agnelli and the board resigned was for the covid hidden payments. We're still waiting for the ruling on that one.
