Joke of the year. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Heard this one a couple of weeks ago. Why would one of the top 5 midfielders on earth give up Real for Milan!

Read them carefully. Nowhere does he contradict that.



Meh, I'd love him to come but I've given up on it.

He wants to insert clauses to fatten his pockets but the management don't want to go there (rightly so). Apparently they're taking a tough stand on this one and don't want to give in to his demands and are going to put Donna on the spot for this one

They've already given him a more than generous offer.

Donna needs to man up at this stage, he needs to accept it and control his agent. If he doesn't sign on, it's still ultimately his choice. Raiola can't force him to stay or leave, so if Donna wants to leave it's all down to him


He's apparently been following a lot of Milan stuff on Insta as well. Still think it's ridiculous, he's loved at Real, he's one of the best mids in the world, no way he'd move here


Yep


He contradicts because first he says he's not moving then he says that he doesn't know what will happen. Either you're sure or you're not

I still think Mirabelli will try to go for him.

Modric is a Milan fan. Doesn't mean he'll ever consider signing for us at this stage of his career.

PS: Just checked for curiosity. Fucking hell, the guy is almost 32??? I thought he was around 26-27. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

CM saying the upcoming week Mirabelli will accelerate to conclude for Biglia and Rodriguez.

Don't know how I feel about Biglia. Lazio want 25 million, the player will be 32 in January, and in all honesty he doesn't really elevate our midfield's quality that much. Unless we also plan on signing another mid if Montella plans on playing Bonaventura in attack...

Same here. 25 million for a player turning 32 is a bit too much. Less than 15 million may be okay. But I think there are better long term options.

Like I said no contradiction. He said he doesn't want Italy. That doesn't mean he won't move elsewhere.

Hmh. Mixed feelings here with me.

- what's happening with the Kessie situation? What kind of medical problems occured?
- I don't think singing Biglia is a good choice; I'd rather use the money for Fabinho, even the 60M don't sound that bad
- Donnarumma and Raiola are starting to get on my nerves
- Modrić to Milan isn't impossible; Modrić is a Milan fan and admires Zvonimir Boban (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Everything is fine with Kessie, the move is official

The numbers being thrown around are all over the place for Biglia, I think we'll get him for around 15 to 18m plus bonuses. No way we'll pay 25m straight for him. In any case, I think he's definitely better than all our current mids and I think we'll purchase 2 more mids aside from Biglia and Kessi considering that we're going to be threadbare in this area with all the departures that will happen

Agreed about Donna and Raiola, but I think he'll sign this week

I personally can't see Modric happening, we have a better shot at Cesc

He's also on something like 250k at Real and remains at the top of his game. I suppose if Alonso could ditch Real for Bayern for 1.5M anything is indeed possible!

Why would he? A glut of teams want him for a shitload of cash, and Raiola sees the pound signs.

If Milan are only prepared to offer half of what rivals are, it's a VERY mature 18 year old who would stick with us. And I don't think he is.

The issue with Donnarumma is not his wages - it's the 101 release clauses that Raiola wants included in his deal.

I think one of them, was that if we don't make CL next season, Donnarumma should be able to move on. Another was a 100MM release clause or something.

Problem is Raiola isn't doing anything Gigio isn't endorsing. He works on his behalf, like all agents, so as much as he's in it for the fat signing on fee he'll get himself, he is also facilitating Gigio's potential greed too.

Not that I actually resent it - if I had all the hype that he does around me at an age like that, I'd do a Pogba too and let my career go to sh*t while I pick up the money while I can.

Exactly. We've seen far too many promising careers in ruins because of $$$ being thrown around these days.
