Honestly what was worrying for me was hearing Giampaolo openly discuss switching the formation back to 4-3-3 after just the one game in.To me it seemed discouraging to hear such a lack of confidence (in his own plan) so very early on. After just the first game, to consider such a drastic change seems a bit ridiculous/ premature /unecessary to me...

Maybe I'm just being pessimistic now as well... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) loll

But we'll see...

They're all just wasting time and proving they have no valid plan. Let's take a look:

- Milan leave Europe in order to be more financially "independent"
- Milan sign 5 new players, 2 from a relegation side, 3 from abroad
- Milan appoint Giampaolo as coach in order to switch system
- Milan pursuit Correa for the whole summer even though his fee is too big all the while spending 50M on two talents
- Milan spend the summer in preparation for the new system
- Milan forget to sign tactically important/needed players
- Milan lose 0-1 to Udinese
---------------------------------------------------------------------
- Milan drop the new system > summer preparations wasted
- Milan lose out on Correa > summer transfer period wasted

I think our management just lost it. The layers of problems probably present a too great task for Maldini and Boban. Under normal conditions they've probably had time to learn, but it was a mistake appointing them in the first place.

I think Hernandez and Bennacer were two necessary signings that will prove very useful in the long run. Krunic for 8M as a sub wasn't a bad investment either.

I have my doubts about Duarte (10M) and Leao (30M), though, mainly because I'm not sure we can afford spending more money at this point. We could have easily kept Zapata and spent those money plus a little more on Correa, Depay or someone else.

I'm not judging their quality, Leao might very well turn into a wonder kid for all we know. But I agree that right now we need proven players foremost.

Also, Silva's failed transfer to Monaco for 30M turned to be a huge blow. In that case we wouldn't have had any problems signing any of the aforementioned players.

Still not clear on what happened with that transfer. But fact remains - no real interest for Silva happened afterwards.

CR is eligible for the Beckham Law, as it stands by January 2020 he would have been at Juve for only a year and a half and as such the clubs wage tab on his salary would be reduced as a gross while CR would receive the same net salary.

Sarri on the other hand has only been out of Italy for a year so taxes on his wage does not count. While Conti was out of Italy for two years so his club would make a saving there.

Why hasn't Milan attracted top plauers/coaches for this season. Mainly attributed to CL football, as the same gives players incentive to join and additionally the extra income the club makes at the offset as well as the potential income from participation.

A lot is being said here of the management being run by Maldini and Boban. When in reality it is Gazidis along with Elliott who run the show. Their plan is clear, clean the legacy FFP slate, unwind the unnecessary wages and offload the players the club does not want/need. Once the club reaches Europe it will be in a position to add the right quality players that fit the system of play going forward.

In that light Milan's management is doing a good job. The club needs to find the right balance between economics and sport, otherwise FFP scrutiny will be back again.

Good job? I disagree. Have we offloaded the problematic players? No. We rescinded a contract and loaned out a player for peanuts. Are we closer to Europe? Last season we were a 2 points short of CL football. This season it could be a double digit deficit.

Torino singed Laxalt for loan with OPTION to buy for 12 million. We really cant get rid of any player man.

Linked with Everton from Gremio again. No idea who he is. 30 million apparently rejected.

Elliott only took over last summer, they took over a club which was in breach of FFP for years (compounded legacy issues) and they inherited a squad which was assembled by Li and which did not serve the economical viability of the club.

Giving up Europe to clean out the FFP slate was a bold move that only the future will tell if it was the right thing to do. Cutting the squad either by rescinding the contracts or sale of higher earning/unqualified players is a task that was mandated by the top and for which Maldini said it was the focus of their summer plans.

If they were not able to profit from the sale of players or if Silva was unattractive to other clubs, how is that the management's fault?

Think this squad is good enough for Serie A and only time will tell

Wish someone would just singe our first team squad.

You mean avoiding relegation? Yes, probably.

That it struggled to beat a promoted side and lost to one expected to be in the mix to go down probably says its own story.

We looked disjointed, and haphazard. It wasn't horrible but when you see Borini coming on to save the day it's worrying.

PS Piatek's miss was a combination of horrible finishing and staggering goalkeeping.

But, at least we're off the mark. I suspect most our points this season will arrive at home.

No I'm kidding a bit. But this season IMO will be ugly, as in 10th place and all sorts of lost games.

All in all we're a very bad team I'd say. Individually our players are okay or even good, but it's the team that is simply not there. And like X-O said everyone is completely confortable with the bare minimum.
