Ronaldo has earned a shitty tournament or two. He's a legend. Ridiculous comparison my friend. As for Silva, not tagging him a failure, I'm calling a spade a spade and questioning the signing. On paper, and based on his career thus far it's a poor one for the investment made given how well we've used our money otherwise.
Be delighted if he proves me wrong, but as you can see, I'm far from alone in questioning his ability to deliver for us. Actually, being honest, it's you in the minority who's happy with him. Let's hope you're feeling smug come November when he rampages through the UEL and Serie A.
That's not the point. Portugal in general weren't good, Bernardo Sila looked average as well and he just cost City 40m. I was mostly watching their games to get a feel of what type of player Andre is and how he plays.
And "based on his career thus far"? He's 21 FFS. Already scored in the CL and has a great goals per game ratio for his country.
Like I said, you have every right to be skeptical, but you're all our against him atm it already feels like you're not going to even give him a chance from the way you're talking. This is 2017, promising players cost you 30m+ these days so I won't let the transfer fee cloud my judgment.
Also. I'm happy with the signing because I think he's a player who has a lot of potential + definate star quality should he live up to the hype. So I'm going to back him to make it all the way because if he does, the potential upside for Milan is temendous and not just on the pitch because he can be a very marketable player

Guys, would you be open to the idea of having Sneijder as an alternative signing to Biglia? I think he'd be a good experienced midfielder to have. A short term solution before we find that elusive marquee midfielder that we can afford.
If his wages are low than yes. He still had something like 5 goals and 19 assists last season, plus I always wanted him, even when he was still at Ajax. Don't know if he can actually play the regista role, but he's be a great addition for squad depth, especially since we're selling most of our midfield
Still think we need Biglia THIS summer though

La Gazzetta dello Sport: Donnarumma is expected to sign his new contract later today.
Terrible deal for us!!!
I mean wtf were they thinking. 6m for a kid, I wonder how the rest of the players feel about this FFS. Add to that getting his mediocre brother for 1m per year salary. Fassone really took a hit on this one.
Hopefully we get into the CL next season and we move him on for that 100m ASAP. Otherwise we'll be losing out big time. I'm just hopeing he doesn't do a massive choke job considering all the pressure that will be on his shoulders next season especially since fans won't be forgiving as they have been in the past with him
