Because he's our player and looks like he's another talented one to boot

Our new financial are much improved apprently this year. 94 m loss. Could have been possibly less than half of that if we had actually sold hakan and donnaruma

Yeah, but that wasn't very plausible. No club was going to sign Dollarumma for money with his wage demands. I mean, the guy barely managed to sign for free for PSG and he's still being benched regularly. Same for Capanoglu after a horrid season and Euros. Only Inter showed any interest, and only because he was a free agent.

Yes but he'll be here next year. And he's not exactly the new Cristiano Ronaldo so I don't get the fascination. Maybe he'll adapt, maybe not. He'll be here in 2022, don't see a point in already planning and dreaming about him. We need better then just talented french mid-class players.

That is wishful thinking. Players like Adli are the best we can afford. Do we need someone like Bernardo Silva? Absolutely, but players of his calibre are earning millions, and we cannot give out millions. Besides, even Bernardo (I am just taking him as an example) came from Monaco when he was 23.

You can forget about us signing established players. That is never going to happen under Elliott.

Maybe. But I don't see a point in constantly dreaming and puzzling around Adli like he's important or something. He's coming next season, and from where I stand now, next season is the far far future.

There are rumours that Milan have decided to sell Kessie in January. The difference between request and demand about wages is too big, especially since there are indiscretions that PSG are offering to him a very fat contract.

The problem is whether we can place him in January. The only way would be if other clubs started bidding for him, because if it's only PSG no way would they be willing to barf 10-15M for a player they could get easily for free just a few months later.

Once again, management f*cked up. Kessie should have been put on the market this summer. He should have been given a deadline. Either you renew until, I dunno, 31 of July, otherwise we sell you. Once again we've shot ourselves in the foot and I really don't understand it.

All the signings we've made since Paolo came in have all thought us better than this

We don't need "better". We're making these players better playing in our system. Bennacer, Theo, Kessie, Calabria, Diaz, Leao, Alexis, Tomori. These are all players who we all thought were not "good enough" and now are worth trice as much as they did before Pioli took over.

As x-off said, the hope of being able to sign established players needs to be let go. That's not how this Milan operates. And personally I'm very happy we're going down this route. I was losing my sh!t in the summer about Gigio and Hakan, but look how it's turned out. We're better off for it imo. Our wage bill is a quarter to that of Juve's and we play the better football and the table so far reflects that


These contract situations are the one huge black spot over an otherwise stellar managerial strategy for Milan. We're going to be in the same boat with Theo and Bennacer. I don't understand why they're not already renewed at this point. Why allow the next transfer window to drift back into the horizon without renewing their contracts?

Kessie at this point is most likely lost to us. We need to try to get something for him in January. I really do not understand how we could allow around 160m in assets to walk away for free. How Elliot(!!) could allow that is beyond me

Florenzi underwent knee surgery today, will be out for at least a month. What a failed signing he turned out to be. We should have tried everything for Dalot. Guy was reliable and could play both flanks.

Good news is Messias is completely recovered and Pioli might even call him up for Atalanta.

Ibra, Bakayoko and Krunic will be available after the NT break.

---

I really hope we get both Faivre and Adli in January. It would provide even better depth to our roster.

Nice to see we'll be getting most of the injured players back after the break.

Re Florenzi, I've always rated him, it's just that we're not using him as he was intended. Instead he's become Saelemakers' sub for some reason.

The knee problem has been bothering him for a while apparently, and they could have gone for rest rather than surgery, but this will be a more permanent fix, so hopefully he'll come back and be able to get into a rhythm with the rest of the squad once he's fully fit and doesn't have a painful knee to deal with

With regards to the free transfers... It seems to be a common theme in today's football. Look at Mbappe, one of the world's biggest players who is probably leaving for free to Madrid.

I think Florenzi will turn out good for us, specially as a backup experienced player.

F*ck this guy! What a vile piece of sh*t.

Too bad he's Romagnoli's agent. Would have probably already renewed his contract if it wasn't for this f@t pig.

Raiola is just trying to save face for screwing over his own client. What did he expect the reception at San Siro to be exactly?

The Italian media is just as terrible. Comparing Donna getting whistled to Koulibaly getting racially abused...

That was only Enrico Mentana, a complete moron who shouldn't be taken seriously.
