The problem is that the increase in revenue isn't being proportional to an increase in spending on the market. So, management can boast these new deals all they want, as long as fans don't see results by increasing the quality of the team then it will mean nothing. Just business.

But we have increased the quality of the team though. Look at the squad we had before Elliot took over

And you might just say oh that's because of Paolo. But Elliot have given him decent enough budgets to be able to accomplish what he did along wit Massara and Moncada. All while all the revenues were really terrible. So I do expect to see incremental improvements now that we're improving the revenue streams.

And look, we're all p!ssed off about the handling of the management's contracts. This has been truly mismanaged imo. But it seems like today things are going to move in the right direction from what I've been seeing. So let's see

All these reports about players, budgets, renewals, etc. All they've shown us is that the media literally knows nothing about what's happening behind the scenes.

As long as we get the critical renewals done (meaning Maldini, Massara, Moncada, Leao and Bennacer), I will be calm about the rest. Beleive me, no one is more p!ssed off about losing Sanches than me. But they'll find someone else. Just like we've done continuously when the first target cannot be brought in. Remember the Kabak/Simakan saga? In the end we ended up with Tomori and look how great that turned out.

I pray that that will not be the case FFS!!

Let's try to do all the major business in July and have all the important players available to Pioli for most of pre-season.


Another thins, the Lille president said that the only offer for Sanches has been from a "beautiful European club" and that PSG have not made any sort of approach for him, neither formal or informal. So I don't know. I really hope we can get this over the line. Sanches' Instagram activity has mostly pointed at him coming to Milan, practically liking every post from our players and Rafa also replied to one of his post with the red and black dots. So I really do hope that this is all just media BS trying to connect non-existent dots because some of the Lille management have moved over to PSG.

I'm very happy to see this management renewal saga finally behind us. Let's hope for a less stressful transfer window.


Give me Sanches, Ziyech, CDK and I will offer a puppy to the football gods

Leao actually removed his comment on Sanches' Instagram so there's that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

The way I see it is that we've made an official offer to Lille, but we haven't still reached an agreement with Sanches, mostly because his old coach at Lille might become PSG's new coach, and also his old sporting director at Lille has joined PSG. In other words, they want him. They've talked to him, but no official offer has been presented yet to Lille.

Hence, I don't think it's media speculation. There's definitely something going on. When Sanches posted a few days ago "Choose the best for your soul, not your ego", all Milan fans believed that the soul was Milan. But now the way I see it, he could have been saying "Choose the best for your soul i.e the people you have worked with in the past and that truly value you", "not your ego i.e. the word you have given to Maldini or the desire to join the Italian champions, or something along those lines".

Obviously this is just speculation from my part, but I don't see Sanches joining us anymore. His salary demands have also been a constant nag. The guy thinks too highly of himself, when in reality he comes from two failures in Germany and England. A couple of good seasons in France don't make you a superstar.

Fresh from Sportmediaset:

QUOTE
Vivek Yeshwant Ranadiv? is the new name for Milan. This is not a defender or an attacking midfielder, but the Indian tycoon who is ready to invest in the Rossoneri club together with RedBird. Talks with Gerry Cardinale, who has been busy in the US to look for investors in recent weeks, have already started and the 65-year-old hopes to reach an agreement soon. Ranadiv? is already known in the world of sport as the owner of the Sacramento Kings, an NBA franchise, and he also wants to enter football as evidenced by the recent offer to buy Chelsea.

The figures are still top secret, but it is known that RedBird is seeking, with a fundraising, part of the 1.2 billion euros to be paid to Elliott at the time of the closing set by September 2022. So Ranadiv? would be ready to go to Cardinale's aid and revive the Sacramento Kings model: a franchise purchased in 2013 for 534 million and brought to a current valuation of 2.06 billion according to Sportico. An excellent financial result from the financial point of view, less so from the sporting one where the hoped-for results did not arrive. In 2010 Ranadiv? was also co-owner of the Golden State Warriors before being forced to sell his shares to buy the Kings.

American-Indian tycoon recognized by all for his creativity and innovative ideas, left India as a boy with only fifty dollars in his pocket, studied in Cambridge, Massachusetts and made his fortune in the world of technology, first with Teknekron and then with the founding of TIBCO in 1997, a company specializing in the production of software for the areas of integration.

In recent years he has moved his business into the world of sports and now, after trying unsuccessfully with Chelsea, he has his eye on Milan. Together with his son Aneel, he spoke with Cardinale to study his entry into the operation. Fresh money, an important help for RedBird to complete the deal with Elliott. From the NBA to Serie A, Ranadiv? is ready for his new challenge.

That last part is the cruelest han (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

But in all honesty, with Maldini onboard I am more confident in how the summer will pan out. Regardless of the targets. The top top priority is the AM and RW positions, secure those and then find a CM and CB. For CM I believe Bennacer should not be neglected, so bringing in someone like Sanchez (whom I was impressed with at the Euros and would definitely suit Milan well in the CL) would only serve to push Bennacer for a transfer out of the club.

That said, I would keep trust in Maldini to produce a team worthy of elevating Milan.

Today we celebrate Maldini, who is the person all fans find synonymous to Milan. This especially during this transition of ownership (yet again).

We'll see. I'm not saying that there's nothing going on. Obviously there is. But reporters made it sound like the deal was basically done when in reality PSG have not even approached Lille. Di Marzio reporting it sort of made me lose hope but not this opens the door just a sliver.

Sanches would mean we switch to a 3 in midfield imo. You can't play just him and Tonali as holding mids. And Bennacer is too good to leave on the bench

It's perfect. More money, less debt. It's how Chelsea were bought.

Bro this ain't Kitchen Nightmares (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

The more investors you find to pledge their money the better. Trust me. What happened with the Chinese crook has nothing to do with this.

Just a figure of speech (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Just meant that the more people RedBird owes money to in the deal the more problems that could arise. At least that is what I got from the article you posted, that this Indian investor would be there to help finance the purchase rather than be a part-owner and therefore more billionaires backing the club

I honestly don't really trust anything with regards to this. I do think that talks with Inter have slowed down because of Lukaku (I read that in total they spent nearly 30m between loan fee + salary + agent fees, which is insane for a skint club like Inter). So the media is just creating a bit more spice to the story.

I like Dybala a lot and think he'd fit in better in our system rather than Inter's but his age and injury history give me pause. Plus he's not the type of profile I see Paolo going after tbh
