Pioli must stop giving players some advence to the players, just because they were there when we won scudetto. Just play your best players when ever is possible.

That means no Diaz, no Messias, if Dest show his offensive potential, then no Sale..

Its ok to rotate, but not the whole fucking squad

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.
Team was playing as if they had played back to back games for 4 to 5 months. No energy at all.

You play with what you have. Rotation will be needed, especially with playing every 3-4 days .You can't overuse your best players ,not everyone is Kessie.
These new players are welcome addition. Fresh legs.

Based on nothing more than our investors, the apparent plan, and willingness to cover all of Dest's salary... I have never been more calm about our renewals.
I dont think things started shaping up on the last day of the window. There would be an on-going discussion on what would be the market strategy and based how the opportunities arise.

We rejected 100m for Leao from Chelsea according to AS

Now that is the best move this summer and real sign of strength
Chelsea wanted to surprise us with big offer ,without finding proper replacement few hours before market is closed, and just day before Redbird completed Milan buying .
Imagine if Gerry accepted this ,what message would show to the fans.

Leao will be offered 7-8 milion per year if he show last year form.

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.

What sort of integration were you expecting?
Pobega is just a new Daniel Maldini, here to fill the homegrown spot and be the backup for the backups, with slight hopes that he might turn into a utility player like Krunic.
That's going to take more than just a preseason and a few appearances to find out.

As for Adli, he's not a double pivot midfielder, his CAM game at Bordeaux didn't seem fast paced enough for our approach. Heck, the club was even willing to wait one year for his arrival. Let's just say he wasn't picked because he filled immediate needs of the coach.
I'm not optimistic, but still, a preseason and a few rounds is barely anything when you're dealing with a young, tactical misfit in a new league and country.

Milan paying Dest 3.7m and allegedly agreed a deal until 2027 (if we decided to pay 20m end of season) gives me promise that we'll have more freedom under gerry

and im by no means saying maldini agreed 3.7m with dest i think its likely to be less... i mean the guy was never gonna get a step up from barca w a raise unless it was a leeds or sum

edit: i was corrected his wage is 2.8m

Dest is on 2.8 m net, which is 3.8 m gross in Italy
