The Rumour Commode XXXVIII: Next Week is our Week

[Mario]

bvb forced to sell their best cb akanji last minute had paolo written all over it, wonder if he couldnt see akanji breaking into 11?

sky de said we were in talks for thiaw and him at the same time

and i thought akanji was like good good way out of reach for elliott. 17m euros another steal this summer

 

[Geralt666]

Maldini NEED TO BUY RW AND CM BUT TOP ONES if we are going to fight for anything in Europe.
He cant think that sale will evolve in prime giggs or robben.

Giggs is overrated.

The Rumour Commode XXXVIII: Next Week is our Week

I never hated neither Suso nor Bona. I don't understand this. If your best players are these, it means your squad is shit, why hate the best players of a shitty era. I don't hate Bacca or Menez or Deulofeo either for the same reason. Say what you want, these people were at least making some...

We rejected 100m for Leao from Chelsea according to AS

Now that is the best move this summer and real sign of strength

 

[Gennaro8]

With all this moves, renewel of Tomori, rejected 100M from Chelsea. I can say 7.5/10 mercato. With RW it wolud be 8.5/10

I would only sell him if he turns out to be a snake, but no way we should sell him now on the last day, that would be the worst we could do.

So crazy last mercato hours have arrived, then finally peace for a few months. Dest came totally out of the blue, but if Florenzi is really missing two months we need someone. I almost hope Dest turns out to be a better RW than RB.
Also Vranckx will be done today, maybe best will be to call him Asterix

I'm just a bit worried about our squad lists, we're only bringing in foreigners and the more foreigners we have the less players we can use, but we can always leave out Baka and FBT.

Mercato summary

 

[milanazkals]

Dest is not so good in marking opponents and lacks defensive awareness. Better play him as a RW. He’s great in attacking and creating chances. good for ‘balance’.

 

[Gennaro8]

Dest wolud be better RW than Messias and Sale. He is faster, better technique, driblle, better player then those two.

But Pioli will put him to play LB before RW

 

[Stitches]

Holy shit this is awful

They talking football.

Paolo was condoring around him but i think his salary is bigger than anyone in setie a.

Has Dest ever been to America?

 

[Oedipus]

Chelsea going for Neymar apparently. Hope they get him so they'll stop bitching about Leao

hmmm possibly. fast, good (we tried for botman) and tall - seemed to fit the bill. i think there was a point at which they decided to go after the Thiaws rather than botmans, but akanji was an opportunity of the summer

Think I heard he first went there 14' or 15' as a tourist only to NYC thank fuck

N my man dont sound american either

AS is the worst source in football
don't believe a single word they write

 

[Nevermore]

Chelsea and #Milan are NOT negotiating for Rafa #Leao on this last market day. Leao will remain at Milan 99%, with 1% tied to the classic unforeseen events from the last day


times should stop embarrass themselves and write about something else other than football

 

[papaberlu]

Gonna cost that much in Jan too buddy

 

[vB9]

Finding out that Paolo has signed an american for defence is an unpleasant shock! So many emotions... I might request deletion of my account later.

I don't think it was a mistake. It was a huge error. We've played only a few matches so far. These young guys don't need much rest. Certainly not at this stage of the competition.

Who did he rest for the sake of resting them?

Kalulu? I think that was "gradually re-integrating Kjaer into the team" rather than giving Kalulu a rest.

CDK? Clearly a tactical decision. He has only started once. He's not, or weren't, an undisputed starter even if he did have a good game against Bologna. Plus, he seems to be the chosen sub for Giroud when Origi and Rebic are unavailable.

Tonali? He's being rushed back if anything.

Calabria? Pioli loves Florenzi.


Some of those decisions were bad imo. But none of them seem to be motivated by fatigue.

 

[VillaiN]

So much peeps crying about dest and minority yankees. U really deserve banter era forever.

 

[Rickaka]

Knowing that Antony was sold for 100m, Chelsea bidding the same amount for Leao is insulting.

And I value Antony, but don't even bother bidding under 150m for the Serie A MVP.

Maybe we buy them next year, baby steps, we are gonna feed on Europe for a while!!

 

[Goodfella]

Bullshit.

If the club is wise enough to not hand him a 7m net contract then they would take those 100m and run.

Leao seems to be playing the same game as the Dollas and Twatoglus.
He'll reject every transfer move and demand more salary than he's worth.

man i cant even describe how much this whole epl is levels above everything shit pisses me off n i have to live in their country

these people are actually hyped when say chelsea pay £65 for cucurella but diss city who walk off from negotiating cuz they didnt see more than £32 in him. their thinking will forever be funny to me

 

[Gennaro8]

Some people deserve this

 

[vB9]

van Gaal has told us that you cud complete a transfer in a couple of hrs. Take chelsea's money and sign 2 bad ass players... rw + striker.

Cucurella is 20M player. If he is 65m then Theo is 165M at least

Real talk.

Piolis problem isn't his rotation.

His problem is the failure to integrate pobega and adli into well defined roles.

Especially since he's had them from day 1 of summer.

I say this as a massive pioli fanboi btw.

Unfortunately, Pobega was hurt in the summer so that stunted his integration a bit

His handling of Adli has been shocking though

He was only injured for a couple of weeks.

I expected a lot more.


If the main take away is along the lines that all new signings will take a year to integrate then we need to figure out why it takes so long.

I don't think we can give every single player we get tonali credit line when we are short on quality established first team players and try and rotate every game.
