The Rumour Commode XXXVII: Mercato Dyspnea

[Milan10]

can we get an example of some of those occasions?

I’m sure when he’s singing along with Hercules Mulligan, “Brapppp brappppp I am Hercules Mulligan!”

I know I do at least

 

[Milan10]

Can you guys imagine Ziyech cutting inside, picking his head up, and then choosing a pass between Theo bombing up the middle and Leao out wide or vice versa?

I can imagine him having like 8 goals and 14 assists next season.

 

[rossonero1]

Zaniolo is a tool if he agrees to play under Allegri

But then again it’s not really all that for him under Mourinho either

I don't get that transfer when they're supposedly going for Di Maria as well. Both play RW so one is already heading to the bench which I doubt either would accept.

Three years into #daplan and people still don't understand it is about building with a sustainable model and not about "being broke" ...

Players like Osihmen and Darwin are young and hungry though - they run and press and do much more than just poach.
Players like them would be a Theo or Leao at striker.

I see people being nostalgic over Giroud in the last couple of pages - I guess they block out all the matches where he was totally useless because he couldnt create two feet of space from his marker. Some of his early play was good and his derby goal magical but his goals at the end were spoon-fed by Rafa. Thankfully Origi is here for CL and maybe splitting time will keep Giroud fresher but much of his time last season was horrendous - he was just as ineffective as Brahim for long stretches.

 

[rossonero1]

Nice purchase from Roma with Celik for RB. With Spinazzola at LB they'll have good some fullbacks. They should be improved based on last season.

Looks like Monza is trying for Icardi.

When im on memory lane with the boys to our hiphop teenage years, when i score a goal against my 4 year old daughter or when we buy Hakim.

Leao is going to jump to around 20 goals and Ziyech will get around 15 assists easily

That and the endless flicks, that fails most of the times

 

[rossonero1]

A simple prediction. PSG got messi, so unrealistic. Other EPL teams are out of the question. Barca impossible, financially ruined and hes a Madrid legend. Bayern denied any intentions. Juve? He just left them.

Easily narrowed down to Real and Milan.

Yeah if CR7 wants to play in the CL and other premier league clubs are ruled out his options are limited. Napoli shouldn't even be considered an option with Oshimen on the team plus ADL is stingy with wages. In Serie A his only option is probably Milan.

 

[ForzaMilan2]

I will take suffering for 10 years if we get second star and a cl next year.

I would like the second star next year and a CL within a few years. I do NOT want to suffer through another decade of mediocrity. That was very, very painful for me.

 

[Rossonero81]

I want Ziyech confermato tonight. Ziyech#7

 

[Rossonero81]

 

[Pingu]

ZiYES

 

[Master Smurf]

That and the endless flicks, that fails most of the times

I will keep cursing him until he scores our next big goal and then all his supporters can shit on me

But honestly, if they (him and Ibra) perform like they did in CL last year then I rather not see them at all - thankfully Origi should give us something different and hopefully Rebic wont be hurt for a successive season.

Some of his supporters will be right there with you cursing him

 

[Rossonero81]

Hakim the magician will make us forget our RW problems.

 

[ForzaMilan2]

Hope not…he actually regressed last season and after 2 indifferent seasons whose to say he’ll do any better in the third? Also, with a new AM definitely coming plus Adli joining, his playing time could be limited.

Yeah. I really do not want to see Diaz here. I do not believe he is going to improve much, if at all.

 

[Rossonero81]

Celebrate folks.

All of us brother… there was no plan no good scouting only genoa market. I hated football and CL because of this period. Was very difficult

 

[Gennaro8]

Here we go...

 

[Neruda]

Anyone with a half a brain could have built a decent challenging squad during our banter era like getting pjanic allan zielinski for dirt cheap. But nah, we went for bertolacci and other fodders

 

[Swagotelli]

I haven’t watched much of Ziyech, but was looking at his stats in EPL. Only 6g, 6a in 46 games… much lower than I expected.

Berlusconi had a power and money back in 2007. All he had to do, is to bring 4-5 younger players, at that time iz would cost less then 150M, but with that fresh blood, team would be strong, and maybe we were CL winners at least one more time, also scudetto or two more.

But senile old man couldnt see the full picture

Neither could Galliani which was very frustrating. Even after 2012 its like he lost all his footballing knowledge

Obsession with 2 striker formation lol

Why invest when you can get Monsieur Flamini for free

We don’t need anymore passenger in the defensive phase. Leao needs to be the ‘least’ presser of the team for tactical purposes and stamina issue. Dybala, Asensio, Berardi and other passengers seems uninspiring to me. We won the league by pressing and taking advantage of opponent’s backline error and will continue to do so.

That's not true. All of the errors are because there's a grand conspiracy to give Milan the title. That's why goalkeepers and defenders kept passing us the ball. That's what I read on on FIF, they're demanding an investigation.

IMO frontline with Giroud and Origi is still thin given Zlatan injury issues and Lazetic is still a kid. Rebic can cover some games, but ideally we would have one more specialist CF

Bringing the right quality players will help. Bringing egotistical primadonnas will break team spirit, so the net impact will be negative.

"Egotistical primadonnas" is just a fluffy word some of you apply on certain players. Ibra's been called similar things during his whole career and won everywhere he's went, and the same with CR who's scored more than anyone and won CL a gazillion times.

Neymar is one of the best players in the world and probably the most talented, you don't become that good without being a great professional in training and games. He's been great in Barcelona, PSG and the Brazilian NT, suddenly he's gonna come to Milan and ruin everything? Please.

Only reason why Neymar won't be coming here is financial, other than that Maldini would have been all over him.

but imo thats on Tuchel for not knowing how to use his attacking players properly. Not only Zyech, he made every good attacker look average in the past 2 years.

Werner: 4 goals and 1 assist in 21 matches (1.300 mins)
Lukaku: 8 goals and 1 assist 25 matches (1500 mins)
Pulisic: 6 goals and 2 assists in 22 matches (1300 mins)
Havertz: 8 goals and 4 assists in 29 matches (1800 mins) - mostly playing as a CF
